description: We present test-particle simulations of electrons during a nonlinear MHD simulation of a type-I edge localized mode (ELM) to explore the effect of an eruptive plasma filament on the kinetic level. The electrons are moderately heated and accelerated during the filamentary eruption on a fast time scale of the order of 0.5 ms. A clearly non-thermal tail is formed in the distribution of the kinetic energy that is of power-law shape and reaches 90 keV for some particles. The acceleration is exclusively observed in the direction parallel to the magnetic field, i.e. with a clear preference in counter-current direction, and we show that the parallel electric field is the cause of the observed acceleration. Most particles that escape from the system leave at one distinct strike-line in the outer divertor leg at some time during their energization. The escaping high energy electrons in the tail of the energy distribution are not affected by collisions, they thus show characteristics of runaway electrons. The mean square displacement indicates that transport in energy space clearly is super-diffusive, and interpreting the acceleration process as a random walk, we find that the distributions of energy-increments exhibit exponential tails, and transport in energy space is equally important of convective (systematic) and diffusive (stochastic) nature. By analyzing the MHD simulations per se, it turns out that the histograms of the parallel electric field in the edge region exhibit power-law shapes, and this clearly non-Gaussian statistics is ultimately one of the reasons for the moderately anomalous phenomena of particle transport that we find in energy space.

description: Natural (axionic) inflation can accommodate sizeable primordial tensor modes but suffers from the necessity of trans-Planckian variations of the inflaton field. This problem can be solved via the mechanism of aligned axions arXiv:hep-ph/0409138, where the aligned axion spirals down in the potential of other axions. We elaborate on the mechanism in view of the recently reported observations of the BICEP2 collaboration arXiv:1403.3985.

description: The financial markets are understood as complex dynamical systems whose dynamics is analysed mostly using nonstationary and brief data sets that usually come from stock markets. For such data sets, a reliable method of analysis is based on recurrence plots and recurrence networks, constructed from the data sets over the period of study. In this study, we do a comprehensive analysis of the complexity of the underlying dynamics of 26 markets around the globe using recurrence based measures. We also examine trends in the nature of transitions as revealed from these measures by the sliding window analysis along the time series during the global financial crisis of 2008 and compare that with changes during the most recent pandemic related lock down. We show that the measures derived from recurrence patterns can be used to capture the nature of transitions in stock market dynamics. Our study reveals that the changes around 2008 indicate stochasticity driven transition, which is different from the transition during the pandemic.

description: We propose a model based on the $SU(5)$ grand unification with an extra $A_{4}\otimes Z_{2}\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime }\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime \prime}\otimes U\left( 1\right) _{f}$ flavor symmetry, which accounts for the pattern of the SM fermion masses and mixings. The observed hierarchy of charged fermion masses and quark mixing matrix elements arises from a generalized Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism triggered by a scalar $\mathbf{24}$ representation of $SU(5)$ charged under the global $U(1)_{f}$ and acquiring a VEV at the GUT scale. The light neutrino masses are generated via a radiative seesaw mechanism with a single heavy Majorana neutrino and neutral scalars running in the loops. The model predictions for both quark and lepton sectors are in good agreement with the experimental data. The model predicts an effective Majorana neutrino mass, relevant for neutrinoless double beta decay, with values $m_{ββ}=$ 4 and 50 meV for the normal and the inverted neutrino spectrum, respectively. The model also features a suppression of CP violation in neutrino oscillations, a low scale for the heavy Majorana neutrino (few TeV) and, due to the unbroken $Z_{2}$ symmetry, a natural dark matter candidate.

description: Introduction Although the investigation of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) has identified many possible influencing factors in recent years, the exact pathomechanism of this disease remains unclear. Methods In this study, we collected 13 renal biopsies from patients with symptomatic CKDu (Sym-CKDu) from Sri Lanka with well-documented clinical and socioeconomic factors. We performed light microscopy and electron microscopic evaluation for ultrastructural analysis which was compared to 100 biopsies from German patients with 20 different kidney diseases. Results Of the Sri Lankan patients, most were men (12/13), frequently employed in agriculture (50%), and showed symptoms such as feverish feeling (83.3%), dysuria (83.3%), and arthralgia (66.6%). Light microscopic evaluation using activity and chronicity score revealed that cases represented early stages of CKDu except for two biopsies which showed additional signs of diabetes. Most glomeruli showed only mild changes, such as podocyte foot process effacement on EM. We found a spectrum of early tubulointerstitial changes including partial loss of brush border in proximal tubules, detachment of tubular cells, enlarged vacuoles, and mitochondrial swelling associated with loss of cristae and dysmorphic lysosomes with electron-dense aggregates. None of these changes occurred exclusively in Sym-CKDu, however they were significantly more frequent in these cases than in the control cohort. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings confirm the predominant and early alterations of tubular structure in CKDu that can occur without significant glomerular changes. The ultrastructural changes do not provide concrete evidence of the cause of CKDu but were significantly more frequent in Sym-CKDu compared to the controls.

description: Some optomechanical systems can be transparent to a probe field when a strong driving field is applied. These systems can provide an optomechanical analogue of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT). We study the transmission of a probe field through a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a cavity and a mechanical resonator with a two-level system (qubit). The qubit might be an intrinsic defect inside the mechanical resonator, a superconducting artificial atom, or another two-level system. The mechanical resonator is coupled to the cavity field via radiation pressure and to the qubit via the Jaynes-Cummings interaction. We find that the dressed two-level system and mechanical phonon can form two sets of three-level systems. Thus, there are two transparency windows in the discussed system. We interpret this effect as an optomechanical analog of two-color EIT (or double-EIT). We demonstrate how to switch between one and two EIT windows by changing the transition frequency of the qubit. We show that the absorption and dispersion of the system are mainly affected by the qubit-phonon coupling strength and the transition frequency of the qubit.

Fish IBI Report: 2004 Sampling, Volume 1 - Summary

description: This document provides a summary of the 2004 sampling data for the Fish Index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI), an index that measures the health of streams. The companion document (Volume 2) provides more detailed data summaries for the sample sites. Chemical monitoring of aquatic systems only provides a snapshot of conditions at the time of sampling, thus potentially failing to detect instances of acute pollution, non-chemical pollution, and non-point source pollution. The DEP supplements chemical monitoring with biological monitoring, based on the premise that biological communities more accurately reflect long-term environmental conditions and ecosystem health. Collection of data to create the Fish Index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI) started in summer 2000, and supplements ongoing monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages at stream stations throughout New Jersey. The FIBI measures stream health based on multiple attributes of the resident fish assemblage. The data is used to help measure water quality and trends in freshwater fish assemblages, as well as serving as an input for the development of further studies of stream health.
Semiclassical strong-field theory of phase delays in $ω-2ω$ above-threshold ionization

description: Phase and time delays of atomic above-threshold ionization were recently experimentally explored in an $ω-2ω$ setting [Zipp et al, Optica 1, 361 (2014)]. The phases of wavepackets ejected from argon by a strong $2ω$ pulse were probed as a function of the relative phase of a weaker $ω$ probe pulse. Numerical simulations solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) displayed a sensitive dependence of the doubly differential momentum distribution on the relative phase between the $ω$ and $2ω$ fields. Moreover, a surprisingly strong variation of the extracted phase delays on the intensity of the probe pulse was found. We present a semiclassical strong-field description of the phase delays in the emission of electrons in an $ω-2ω$ setting and apply it to atomic hydrogen. Non-perturbative effects in both the $2ω$ pump and the $ω$ probe field are included. The semiclassical description allows tracing phase delays to path interferences between emission during different points in time of emission within the temporal unit cell of the two-color laser field. We find good agreement between the semiclassical saddle-point approximation, the full strong field approximation (SFA), and previous results applicable in the perturbative limit of probe fields. We show that the RABBIT-like perturbative description of phase delays breaks down for stronger fields and higher-energy electron emission. In this regime, characterization of the ionization signal requires an entire ensemble of phase delays {$δ_i(E)$} with $i=1,2,\ldots$ the difference in photon numbers of the strong $2ω$ field involved in the interfering paths. Comparison between SFA and TDSE calculations reveals the influence of the Coulomb field even in this strong-field scenario.

description: Motivated by the recent proposal for the S-matrix in $AdS_3\times S^3$ with mixed three form fluxes, we study classical folded string spinning in $AdS_3$ with both Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz three form fluxes. We solve the equations of motion of these strings and obtain their dispersion relation to the leading order in the Neveu-Schwarz flux $b$. We show that dispersion relation for the spinning strings with large spin ${\cal S}$ acquires a term given by $-\frac{\sqrtλ}{2π} b^2\log^2 {\cal S}$ in addition to the usual $\frac{\sqrtλ}π \log {\cal S}$ term where $\sqrtλ$ is proportional to the square of the radius of $AdS_3$. Using SO(2,2) transformations and re-parmetrizations we show that these spinning strings can be related to light like Wilson loops in $AdS_3$ with Neveu-Schwarz flux $b$. We observe that the logarithmic divergence in the area of the light like Wilson loop is also deformed by precisely the same coefficient of the $ b^2 \log^2 {\cal S}$ term in the dispersion relation of the spinning string. This result indicates that the coefficient of $ b^2 \log^2 {\cal S}$ has a property similar to the coefficient of the $\log {\cal S}$ term, known as cusp-anomalous dimension, and can possibly be determined to all orders in the coupling $λ$ using the recent proposal for the S-matrix.

description: We consider the quantization of space-times which can possess different topologies within a symmetry reduced version of Wheeler-DeWitt theory. The quantum states are defined from a natural decomposition as an outer-product of a topological state, dictating the topology of the two-surfaces of the space-time, and a geometric state, which controls the geometry and is comprised of solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt constraints. Within this symmetry reduced theory an eigenvalue equation is derived for the two-volume of spacetime, which for spherical topology is fixed to a value of $4π$. However, for the other topologies it is found that the spectrum can be \emph{discrete} and hence the universe, if in one of these other topological states, may only possess certain possible values for the two-volume, whereas classically all values are allowed. We analyze this result in the context of pure gravity (black holes).

description: Studies of granular materials, both theoretical and experimental, are often restricted to convex grain shapes. We demonstrate that a non-convex grain shape can lead to a qualitatively novel macroscopic dynamics. Spatial crosses (hexapods) are continuously sheared in a split-bottom container. Thereby, they develop a secondary flow profile that is completely opposite to that of rod-shaped or lentil-shaped convex grains in the same geometry. The crosses at the surface migrate towards the rotation center and sink there, mimicking a `reverse Weissenberg effect'. The observed surface flow field suggests the existence of a radial outward flow in the depth of the granular bed, thus forming a convection cell. This flow field is connected with a dimple formed in the rotation center. The effect is strongly dependent on the particle geometry and the height of the granular bed.

description: We explore a cyclic universe due to phantom and quintessence fields. We find that, in every cycle of the evolution of the universe, the phantom dominates the cosmic early history and quintessence dominates the cosmic far future. In this model of universe, there are infinite cycles of expansion and contraction. Different from the inflationary universe, the corresponding cosmic space-time is geodesically complete and quantum stable. But similar to the Cyclic Model, the flatness problem, the horizon problem and the large scale structure of the universe can be explained in this cyclic universe.

description: In this article, we present a cost-effective approach to the precision measurement of heat flux using commercial thermoelectric modules (TEMs). Two different methods of measuring heat flux with TEMs are investigated, namely passive mode based on the Seebeck effect and active mode based on the Peltier effect. For both modes, a TEM as a heat fluxmeter is calibrated to show a linear relation between the voltage across the TEM and the heat flow rate from 0 to 100 mW. While both modes exhibit sufficiently high sensitivities suitable for low heat flow measurement, active mode is shown to be $\sim$7 times more sensitive than passive mode. From the speculation on the origin of the measurement uncertainty, we propose a dual TEM scheme by operating the top TEM in passive mode while its bottom temperature maintains constant by the feedback-controlled bottom TEM. The dual-TEM scheme can suppress the sensitivity uncertainty by up to 4 times when compared to the single-TEM passive mode by stabilizing the bottom temperature. The response time of a 1.5 cm $\times$ 1.5 cm TEM is measured to be 8.90 $\pm$ 0.97 seconds for heating and 10.83 $\pm$ 0.65 seconds for cooling, which is slower than commercial heat fluxmeters but still fast enough to measure heat flux with a time resolution on the order of 10 seconds. We believe that the obtained results can facilitate the use of a commercial TEM for heat flux measurement in various thermal experiments

description: We show that the first-order D=4, N=1 pure supergravity lagrangian four-form can be obtained geometrically as a quadratic expression in the curvatures of the Maxwell superalgebra. This is achieved by noticing that the relative coefficient between the two terms of the Lagrangian that makes the action locally supersymmetric also determines trivial field equations for the gauge fields associated with the extra generators of the Maxwell superalgebra. Along the way, a convenient geometric procedure to check the local supersymmetry of a class of lagrangians is developed.

Stochastic versus periodic quantum collision models

description: Most literature on quantum collision models (CMs) usually considers periodic weak collisions featuring a fixed waiting time between two next collisions. Some works have yet addressed CMs with random waiting time and strong collisions (stochastic CMs). This short paper discusses how the open dynamics arising from these two types of models can be formally mapped with one another. This can be achieved for a given stochastic CM by constructing an associated periodic CM such that the waiting time randomness of the former is turned into the mixedness of the ancilla's initial state of the latter, introducing at the same time an additional state of the ancilla. Through this mapping, non-Markovian behaviour arising from a constrained number of stochatic collisions can be linked to initial ancilla-ancilla correlations of the associated periodic CM.

description: The simultaneous vertical-cavity and random lasing emission properties of a blue-emitting molecular crystal are investigated. The 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene samples, grown by physical vapour transport, feature room-temperature stimulated emission peaked at about 430 nm. Fabry-Pérot and random resonances are primed by the interfaces of the crystal with external media and by defect scatterers, respectively. The analysis of the resulting lasing spectra evidences the existence of narrow peaks due to both the built-in vertical Fabry-Pérot cavity and random lasing in a novel, surface-emitting configuration and threshold around 500 microJ cm^-2. The anti-correlation between different modes is also highlighted, due to competition for gain. Molecular crystals with optical gain candidate as promising photonic media inherently supporting multiple lasing mechanisms.

description: We investigate the linear theory of the ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) mode, with the goal of developing a general understanding that may be applied to stellarators. We highlight the Wendelstein 7X (W7-X) device. Simple fluid and kinetic models that follow closely from existing literature are reviewed and two new first-principle models are presented and compared with results from direct numerical simulation. One model investigates the effect of regions of strong localized shear, which are generic to stellarator equilibria. These "shear spikes" are found to have a potentially significant stabilizing affect on the mode; however, the effect is strongest at short wavelengths perpendicular to the magnetic field, and it is found to be significant only for the fastest growing modes in W7-X. A second model investigates the long-wavelength limit for the case of negligible global magnetic shear. The analytic calculation reveals that the effect of the curvature drive enters at second order in the drift frequency, confirming conventional wisdom that the ITG mode is slab-like at long wavelengths. Using flux tube simulations of a zero-shear W7-X configuration, we observe a close relationship to an axisymmetric configuration at a similar parameter point. It is concluded that scale lengths of the equilibrium gradients constitute a good parameter space to characterize the ITG mode. Thus, to optimize the magnetic geometry for ITG mode stability, it may be fruitful to focus on local parameters, such as the magnitude of bad curvature, connection length, and local shear at locations of bad curvature (where the ITG mode amplitude peaks).

Year: 2005

description: This is the 2004 Annual Report of the New Jersey Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council. The Council was created in 2004 to protect vulnerable open space in the New Jersey Highlands, a region that covers over 800,000 acres (more than 13% of the State's total area) and supplies drinking water to over half of New Jersey's population (over 5 million people in 292 municipalities and 16 counties). To preserve the quality and quantity of this precious resource, the Governor signed the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, on August 10, 2004. The Act calls for a 15-member Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council, and in the fall of 2004, 14 members were appointed to the Council. The Highlands Council is charged with carrying out the provisions of the Act, including the development of a regional master plan for the Highlands Region within 18 months of its first meeting.
Star-forming galaxies as the origin of diffuse high-energy backgrounds: Gamma-ray and neutrino connections, and implications for starburst history

description: Star-forming galaxies have been predicted to contribute considerably to the diffuse gamma-ray background as they are guaranteed reservoirs of cosmic rays. Assuming that the hadronic interactions responsible for high-energy gamma rays also produce high-energy neutrinos and that O(100) PeV cosmic rays can be produced and confined in starburst galaxies, we here discuss the possibility that star-forming galaxies are also the main sources of the high-energy neutrinos observed by the IceCube experiment. First, we compute the diffuse gamma-ray background from star-forming galaxies, adopting the latest Herschel PEP/HerMES luminosity function and relying on the correlation between the gamma-ray and infrared luminosities reported by Fermi observations. Then we derive the expected intensity of the diffuse high-energy neutrinos from star-forming galaxies including normal and starburst galaxies. Our results indicate that starbursts, including those with active galactic nuclei and galaxy mergers, could be the main sources of the high-energy neutrinos observed by the IceCube experiment. We find that assuming a cosmic-ray spectral index of 2.1-2.2 for all starburst-like galaxies, our predictions can be consistent with both the Fermi and IceCube data, but larger indices readily fail to explain the observed diffuse neutrino flux. Taking the starburst high-energy spectral index as free parameter, and extrapolating from GeV to PeV energies, we find that the spectra harder than E^(-2.15) are likely to be excluded by the IceCube data, which can be more constraining than the Fermi data for this population.

description: Obesity is a complex multifactorial phenotype that influences several metabolic pathways. Yet, few studies have examined the relations of different body fat compartments to urinary and serum metabolites. Anthropometric phenotypes (visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), the ratio between VAT and SAT (VSR), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC)) and urinary and serum metabolite concentrations measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were measured in a population-based sample of 228 healthy adults. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models, corrected for multiple testing using the false discovery rate, were used to associate anthropometric phenotypes with metabolites. We adjusted for potential confounding variables: age, sex, smoking, physical activity, menopausal status, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary glucose, and fasting status. In a fully adjusted logistic regression model dichotomized for the absence or presence of quantifiable metabolite amounts, VAT, BMI and WC were inversely related to urinary choline (beta = -0.18, p = 2.73*10(-3)), glycolic acid (beta = -0.20, 0.02), and guanidinoacetic acid (beta = -0.12, p = 0.04), and positively related to ethanolamine (beta = 0.18, p = 0.02) and dimethylamine (beta = 0.32, p = 0.02). BMI and WC were additionally inversely related to urinary glutamine and lactic acid. Moreover, WC was inversely associated with the detection of serine. VAT, but none of the other anthropometric parameters, was related to serum essential amino acids, such as valine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine among men. Compared to other adiposity measures, VAT demonstrated the strongest and most significant relations to urinary and serum metabolites. The distinct relations of VAT, SAT, VSR, BMI, and WC to metabolites emphasize the importance of accurately differentiating between body fat compartments when evaluating the potential role of metabolic regulation in the development of obesity-related diseases, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Communicating Status and Trends in Environmental Quality: Reactions of Legislative Staff, Reporters, Activists, and Citizens

description: When agencies wish to communicate the status or trend in an environmental condition, they often use quantitative information, particularly in the form of a chart or graph. This research project summary explores how various audiences would react to visual presentations of status and trend measures across a variety of environmental topics. The general reaction was positive, although people attentive to government (legislative staff, reporters, activists) were more skeptical about the information than were ordinary citizens. Making status and trend presentations understandable and accurate can be a problem, and many citizens made the error of inferring local environmental conditions from measures that used statewide data only.
