description: We evaluate the spectra of produced particles (pions, kaons, antiprotons) from partonic cascades which may develop in the wake of heavy-ion collisions at CERN SPS energies and which may hadronize by formation of clusters which decay into hadrons. Using the experimental data obtained by NA35 and NA44 collaborations for S+S and Pb+Pb collisions, we conclude that the Monte Carlo implementation of the recently developed parton-cascade/cluster-hadronization model provides a reasonable description of the distributions of the particles produced in such collisions. While the rapidity distribution of the mid-rapidity protons is described reasonably well, their transverse momentum distribution falls too rapidly compared to the experimental values, implying a significant effect of final state scattering among the produced hadrons neglected so far.

description: Proximity induced superconducting energy gap in the surface states of topological insulators has been predicted to host the much wanted Majorana fermions for fault tolerant quantum computation. Recent theoretically proposed architectures for topological quantum computation via Majoranas are based on large networks of Kitaevs one dimensional quantum wires, which pose a huge experimental challenge in terms of scalability of the current single nanowire based devices. Here, we address this problem by realizing robust superconductivity in junctions of fabricated topological insulator Bi2Se3 nanowires proximity coupled to conventional s wave superconducting W electrodes. Milling technique possesses great potential in fabrication of any desired shapes and structures at nanoscale level, and therefore can be effectively utilized to scale up the existing single nanowire based design into nanowire based network architectures. We demonstrate the dominant role of ballistic topological surface states in propagating the long range proximity induced superconducting order with high IcRN product in long Bi2Se3 junctions. Large upper critical magnetic fields exceeding the Chandrasekhar Clogston limit suggests the existence of robust superconducting order with spin triplet cooper pairing. An unconventional inverse dependence of IcRN product on the width of the nanowire junction was also observed.

Vortex Lattice Depinning vs. Vortex Lattice Melting: a pinning-based explanation of the equilibrium magnetization jump

description: In this communication we argue that the Vortex Lattice Melting scenario fails to explain several key experimental results published in the literature. From a careful analysis of these results we conclude that the Flux Line Lattice (FLL) does not melt along a material- and sample-dependent boundary $H_j(T)$ but the opposite, it de-couples from the superconducting matrix becoming more ordered. When the FLL depinning is sharp, the difference between the equilibrium magnetization $M_{eq}(T,H)$ of the pinned and unpinned FLL leads to the observed step-like change $ΔM_{eq}(T,H)$. We demonstrate that the experimentally obtained $ΔM_{eq}(T,H)$ can be well accounted for by a variation of the pinning efficiency of vortices along the $H_j(T)$ boundary.

description: The high pressure structural properties of bismuth oxide Bi2SiO5 have been investigated up to 28 GPa using in situ powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and up to 50 GPa with DFT calculations. The monoclinic structure is found to persist up to about 20 GPa, where a notable change in the compressibility occurs. The DFT data imply that this is due to a second-order phase transition from the ambient condition monoclinic structure with space group Cc to an orthorhombic polymorph with space group Cmcm. This transition involves the straightening of the chains formed by corner-connected SiO4 tetrahedra, that suppresses the ferroelectricity in the high pressure, centrosymmetric phase of Bi2SiO5. The stereo-chemical activity of the Bi3+ lone electron pair is found to decrease with increasing pressure, but it can still be identifed in the calculated electron density difference maps at 50 GPa.

description: Electron spin resonance data of Cu^{2+} ions in La_{14-x}Ca_{x}Cu_{24}O_{41} crystals (x=9,11,12) reveal a very large width of the resonance line in the paramagnetic state. This signals an unusually strong anisotropy of ~10% of the isotropic Heisenberg superexchange in the Cu-O chains of this compound. The strong anisotropy can be explained by the specific geometry of two symmetrical 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonds, which boosts the importance of orbital degrees of freedom. Our data show the apparent limitations of the applicability of an isotropic Heisenberg model to the low dimensional cuprates.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We show that it is possible to enlarge the range of low transmission in 1D photonic crystals by using photonic quantum well structures. If a defect is introduced in the photonic quantum well structures, defect modes with a very high quality factor may appear. The transmission of the defect mode is due to the coupling between the eigenmodes of the defect and those at the band edges of the constituent photonic crystals.

Black hole entropy, the black hole information paradox, and time travel paradoxes from a new perspective
Creators: name: Allen, Roland E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Relatively simple but apparently novel ways are proposed for viewing three related subjects: black hole entropy, the black hole information paradox, and time travel paradoxes. (1) Gibbons and Hawking have completely explained the origin of the entropy of all black holes, including physical black holes -- nonextremal and in 3-dimensional space -- if one can identify their Euclidean path integral with a true thermodynamic partition function (ultimately based on microstates). An example is provided of a theory containing this feature. (2) There is unitary quantum evolution with no loss of information if the detection of Hawking radiation is regarded as a measurement process within the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics. (3) The paradoxes of time travel evaporate when exposed to the light of quantum physics (again within the Everett interpretation), with quantum fields properly described by a path integral over a topologically nontrivial but smooth manifold.

CMOS Integrated Magnetless Circulators Based on Spatiotemporal Modulation Angular-Momentum Biasing

description: In this paper, we introduce the first integrated circuit (IC) implementation of spatiotemporally modulated angular-momentum (STM-AM) biased magnetless circulators. The design is based on a modified current-mode topology which is less sensitive to parasitics and relies on switched capacitors rather than varactors to achieve the desired modulation, thus reducing the circuit complexity and easing its chip-scale realization. We analyze the presented circuit and study its performance in the presence of inevitable non-idealities using an in-house so-called composite Floquet scattering matrix (CFSM) numerical method. We also validate the analysis with simulated and measured results using a standard 180 nm CMOS technology, showing good performance. Compared to previous discrete implementations of STM-AM circulators, the presented CMOS chip reduces the form factor by at least an order of magnitude and occupies a total area of only 36 mm2.
Excess Currents Larger than the Point Contact Limit in Normal Metal -Superconducting Junctions

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: In a point contact NS junction, perfect Andreev reflection occurs over a range of voltages equal to the superconducting energy gap, producing an excess current of $I_{exc} = (4/3)(2eΔ/h)$. If the superconductor has a finite width, rather than the infinite width of the point contact, one cannot neglect superfluid flow inside the superconducting contact. The energy range available for perfect Andreev reflections then becomes larger than the superconducting gap, since superfluid flow alters the dispersion relation inside the finite width superconductor. We find a maximum excess current of approximately $(7/3)(2eΔ/h)$ when the width of the superconductor is approximately 7/3 times the width of the normal metal.

From the P_tau measurement, assuming lepton universality of the neutral currents, the effective weak mixing angle has been determined to be sin(theta_W) = 0.2325 +- 0.0006. The Standard Model predictions are consistent with the measured results.

Special attention is paid to the unstable isotope H4, which was not included in previous studies. The importance of light clusters in the calculation of rates for neutrino matter interaction is discussed. The main conclusion is that thermodynamic quantities are only weakly sensitive to the chemical composition. The change in pressure and hence the direct change in collapse dynamics will be minor. But the change in neutrino heating and neutronization processes can be significant.

description: We make an adaptation of laser modelling equations to describe the behavior of a phonon laser (saser). Our saser consists of an AlGaAs/GaAs double barrier heterostructure designed to generate an intense beam of transversal acoustic (TA) phonons. To study our system, we begin with a Hamiltonian that describes the decay of primary longitudinal optical phonons (LO_1) into secondary (LO_2) and TA (LO_1 -> LO_2 + TA) and its inverse process (recombination). Using this Hamiltonian, a set of coupled equations of motion for the phonons is obtained. We also consider the interaction between the phonons and its reservoirs. These interactions are introduced in the equations of motion leading to a set of coupled Langevin equations. In order to obtain an expression to describe our saser we apply, in the Langevin equations, an adiabatic elimination of some variables of the subsystem. Following the method above we obtain the value of the injection threshold for the operation of our phonon laser. At this threshold occurs a phase transition from a disordered to a coherent state. It is shown that it is not necessary a big "optical" pumping to get a sasing region.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 1.25 million deaths yearly due to road traffic accidents worldwide and the number has been continuously increasing over the last few years. Nearly fifth of these accidents are caused by distracted drivers. Existing work of distracted driver detection is concerned with a small set of distractions (mostly, cell phone usage). Unreliable ad-hoc methods are often used.In this paper, we present the first publicly available dataset for driver distraction identification with more distraction postures than existing alternatives. In addition, we propose a reliable deep learning-based solution that achieves a 90% accuracy. The system consists of a genetically-weighted ensemble of convolutional neural networks, we show that a weighted ensemble of classifiers using a genetic algorithm yields in a better classification confidence. We also study the effect of different visual elements in distraction detection by means of face and hand localizations, and skin segmentation. Finally, we present a thinned version of our ensemble that could achieve 84.64% classification accuracy and operate in a real-time environment.

description: Modeling molecular surfaces enables us to extract useful information about interactions with other molecules and measurements of areas and volumes. Over the years many types of algorithms have been developed to represent and rendering molecular surfaces, but all these algorithms have problems related to time performance in triangulating molecular surfaces. One possible solution to solve this problem is using parallel computing systems, but until recently they have been very expensive. Fortunately, the appearance of the new generation of low-cost GPUs with massive computational power opens up an opportunity window to solve this problem. So, in this paper, we present a GPU-based algorithm to speed up the triangulation and rendering of molecular surfaces. Besides we carry out a study that compares a sequential version (CPU) and a parallel version (GPU) of a molecular surface representation using the Marching Cubes (MC) Algorithm.

description: Electronic structure of the transition metal (TM) dopants in ZnO is calculated by first principles approach. Analysis of the results is focused on the properties determined by the intrashell Coulomb coupling. The role of both direct and exchange interaction channel is analyzed. The coupling is manifested in the strong charge state dependence of the TM gap levels, which leads to the metastability of photoexcited Mn, and determines the accessible equilibrium charge states of TM ions. The varying magnitude of the exchange coupling is reflected in the dependence of the spin splitting energy on the chemical identity across the 3$d$ series, as well as the charge state dependence of spin-up spin-down exchange splitting.

description: The unusual non-linear effects in hopping conduction of single-crystal La_{2}CuO_{4 + δ} with excess oxygen has been observed. The resistance is measured as a function of applied voltage U (10^{-3} V - 25 V) in the temperature range 5 K < T < 300 K. At relatively high voltage (U > 0.1 V) the conduction of sample investigated corresponds well to Mott's variable-range hopping (VRH). An unusual conduction behavior is found, however, in low voltage range (approximately below 0.1 V), where the influence of electric field and (or) electron heating effect on VRH ought to be neglected. Here we have observed strong increase in resistance at increasing U at T < 20 K, whereas at T > 20 K the resistance decreases with increasing U. The magnetoresistance of the sample below 20 K has been positive at low voltage and negative at high voltage. The observed non-Ohmic behavior is attributable to inhomogeneity of the sample, and namely, to the enrichment of sample surface with oxygen during the course of the heat treatment of the sample in helium and air atmosphere before measurements. At low enough temperature (below 20 K) the surface layer with increased oxygen concentration is presumed to consist of disconnected superconducting regions (with T_{c} about 20 K) in poor-conducting matrix. The results obtained demonstrate that transport properties of cuprate oxides may be determined in essential degree by structural or stoichimetric inhomogeneities. This should be taken into account at evaluation of "quality" of high-temperature superconductors on the basis of transport properties measurements.

description: Neste artigo discutiremos a formação docente para atuação na educação a distância, apresentando um design didático-pedagógico do curso Introdução à Educação à Distância, voltado a estudantes de licenciatura em Pedagogia, visto o apontamento sobre a lacuna no currículo do curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia da instituição analisada, quanto à formação para atuação com tecnologias e educação a distância. Dentro desse contexto pretendeu-se problematizar o tema no sentido reflexivo, delimitando possibilidades e caminhos que possam nortear o desenvolvimento de programas de formação docente nas licenciaturas. O desenvolvimento do curso alicerçou-se na postura de autonomia e autoria do professor em formação inicial, perpassando todas as etapas, tais como a concepção, o processo de elaboração, a implantação, a aplicação e avaliação do curso. O curso intitulado “Introdução à Educação a Distância” foi desenvolvido a fim de oferecer bases teóricas e práticas para a atuação futura desse professor na educação em ambiente virtual de aprendizagem. Para tanto, o curso foi pensado e desenvolvido em 4 módulos com conteúdos considerados fundamentais para o enriquecimento conceitual acerca da atuação docente, novas tecnologias e formação pedagógica. Desta forma uma ampla pesquisa foi realizada a fim de selecionar os textos que deveriam nortear o andamento do curso, bem como as atividades propostas. O ambiente virtual definido foi o Claroline, sendo acionadas ferramentas de comunicação, dentre outras possibilidades. O desafio proposto pauta-se na necessidade de capacitação para a docência online, carente de atenção. Desta forma, a experiência de elaboração foi enriquecedora no sentido de análise e desenvolvimento de conteúdo educacional, bem como permitiu a aquisição de novos conhecimentos no contexto de design pedagógico para educação ambiente virtual de aprendizagem.

description: Engineering light-matter interactions up to the strong-coupling regime at room temperature is one of the cornerstones of modern nanophotonics. Achieving this goal will enable new platforms for potential applications such as quantum information processing, quantum light sources and even quantum metrology. Materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) and in particular tungsten disulfide (WS$_2$) possess large transition dipole moments comparable to semiconductor-based quantum dots, and strong exciton binding energies allowing the detailed exploration of light-matter interactions at room temperature. Additionally, recent works have shown that coupling TMDCs to plasmonic nanocavities with light tightly focused on the nanometer scale can reach the strong-coupling regime at ambient conditions. Here, we use ultra-thin single-crystalline gold nanodisks featuring large in-plane electromagnetic dipole moments aligned with the exciton transition-dipole moments located in monolayer WS$_2$. Through scattering and reflection spectroscopy we demonstrate strong coupling at room temperature with a Rabi splitting of $\sim$108 meV. In order to go further into the strong-coupling regime and inspired by recent experimental work by Stührenberg et al., we couple these nanodisks to multilayer WS$_2$. Due to an increase in the number of excitons coupled to our nanodisks, we achieve a Rabi splitting of $\sim$175 meV, a major increase of 62%. To our knowledge, this is the highest Rabi splitting reported for TMDCs coupled to open plasmonic cavities. Our results suggest that ultra-thin single-crystalline gold nanodisks coupled to WS$_2$ represent an exquisite platform to explore light-matter interactions.

description: We have formed superconducting contacts in which Cooper pairs incident from a thick In layer must move through a thin Nb layer to reach a semiconductor, either InAs or low temperature grown (LTG) GaAs. The effect of pair tunneling through the Nb layer can be seen by varying the temperature through the critical temperature of In. Several of the In/Nb-InAs devices display a peak in the differential conductance near zero-bias voltage, which is strong evidence of ballistic transport across the NS interface. The differential conductance of the In/Nb-(LTG) GaAs materials system displays conductance resonances of McMillan-Rowell type. These resonant levels exist within a band of conducting states inside the energy gap, formed from excess As incorporation into the (LTG) GaAs during growth. Electrons propagating in this band of states multiply reflect between the superconductor and a potential barrier in the GaAs conduction band to form the conductance resonances. A scattering state theory of the differential conductance, including Andreev reflections from the composite In/Nb contact, accounts for most qualitative features in the data.

 Type material. Holotype, male: Madagascar, Boeny, Ankarafantsika NP, 200 m alt. [GIS: -16.264, 46.828], ex liana, 7.V.2015. Allotype female and paratypes: same data as holotype (9); same data as holotype, except 8.V.2015 (3) and 9.V.2015 (3). Holotype, allotype and 10 paratypes in ZMUB, 4 paratypes in NHMW.
 Diagnosis. Posterolateral areas of the elytra distinctly granulated; male frons broadly and deeply concave, with two small pits in upper area of concavity separating a dorsal carinae and upper eyes; female frons glabrous on lower median third, finely setose around it.
 Description, male. Length 1.3–1.6 mm, 2.6–2.8 × long as wide; colour brown or dark brown. Frons deeply and broadly concave, almost glabrous, upper margin on vertex lightly carinate, separated from upper eyes by a pair of deeper small pits. Eyes separated above by 2.0–2.2 × their width. Antennal scapus small, rounded, with scant short setae; club with two distinctly marked and strongly procurved sutures. Pronotum without distinct summit, anterior half asperate, asperities separated by their size; posterior half weakly rugose; vestiture mainly of bristle-like setae and fewer intermixed, fine, hair-like setae. Elytral interstriae increasingly rugose and granulated posteriorly, in posterolateral areas distinctly granulated; setae increasingly spatulate posteriorly, in rows, separated within rows by their length on declivity, on disc more spaced. Protibiae with one lateral and three apical denticles.
 Etymology. A Latin nominative adjective meaning granulated, referring to the distinct sharp granules along the sides of the posterior third of the elytra.
 Distribution and biology. Madagascar. The species was collected several times in Ankarafantsika, a dry forest in the north-west of the country. Specimens were dissected from dead lianas 2–3 cm in diameter. Colonisations were dense, and brood sizes were large, but too old for a detailed study of their mating system.

description: We study the effect of temperature shift on aging phenomena in the Random Energy Model (REM). From calculation on the correlation function and simulation on the Zero-Field-Cooled magnetization, we find that the REM satisfies a scaling relation even if temperature is shifted. Furthermore, this scaling property naturally leads to results obtained in experiment and the droplet theory.

description: The IViHumans platform supports the development of diverse applications with virtual humans. It comprises one layer for graphical processing and one for artificial intelligence. The layers were projected to run in different processes, communicating by means of a simple, yet effective and extensible client/server protocol that we projected and implemented. In this framing, the graphical processing layer plays the role of server, while the artificial intelligence layer occupies the position of the client. Therefore, the graphical processing layer is the base of the platform, providing services for the intelligent agents that populate the artificial intelligence layer.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The process e^+e^- -> gamma gamma (gamma) is studied using data recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The data sample corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 25.38 pb^{-1} taken at centre-of-mass energies of 130-172 GeV. The measured cross-sections agree well with the expectation from QED. In a combined fit using data from all centre-of-mass energies, the angular distribution is used to obtain improved limits on the cut-off parameters: Lambda_+ > 195 GeV and Lambda_- > 210 GeV (95% CL). In addition, limits on non-standard e^+e^-gamma couplings and contact interactions, as well as a 95% CL mass limit for an excited electron, M_{e^*} > 194 GeV for an e^+e^-gamma coupling kappa = 1, are determined.
