description: Cellular nutrient consumption is influenced by both the nutrient uptake kinetics of an individual cell and the cells' spatial arrangement. Large cell clusters or colonies have inhibited growth at the cluster's center due to the shielding of nutrients by the cells closer to the surface. We develop an effective medium theory that predicts a thickness $\ell$ of the outer shell of cells in the cluster that receives enough nutrient to grow. The cells are treated as partially absorbing identical spherical nutrient sinks, and we identify a dimensionless parameter $ν$ that characterizes the absorption strength of each cell. The parameter $ν$ can vary over many orders of magnitude between different cell types, ranging from bacteria and yeast to human tissue. The thickness $\ell$ decreases with increasing $ν$, increasing cell volume fraction $ϕ$, and decreasing ambient nutrient concentration $ψ_{\infty}$. The theoretical results are compared with numerical simulations and experiments. In the latter studies, colonies of budding yeast, \textit{Saccharomyces cerevisiae}, are grown on glucose media and imaged under a confocal microscope. We measure the growth inside the colonies via a fluorescent protein reporter and compare the experimental and theoretical results for the thickness $\ell$.

description: If astrophysical black hole candidates are the Kerr black holes predicted by General Relativity, the value of their spin parameter must be subject to the theoretical bound $|a_*| \le 1$. In this work, we consider the possibility that these objects are either non-Kerr black holes in an alternative theory of gravity or exotic compact objects in General Relativity. We study the accretion process when their accretion disk is geometrically thick with a simple version of the Polish doughnut model. The picture of the accretion process may be qualitatively different from the one around a Kerr black hole. The inner edge of the disk may not have the typical cusp on the equatorial plane any more, but there may be two cusps, respectively above and below the equatorial plane. We extend previous work on the evolution of the spin parameter and we estimate the maximum value of $a_*$ for the super-massive black hole candidates in galactic nuclei. Since measurements of the mean radiative efficiency of AGNs require $η> 0.15$, we infer the "observational" bound $|a_*| \lesssim 1.3$, which seems to be quite independent of the exact nature of these objects. Such a bound is only slightly weaker than $|a_*| \lesssim 1.2$ found in previous work for thin disks.

Design and test of a rocket motor expansion joint

description: The purpose of this investigation was to carry on the work of investigating stresses encountered in the design of rocket motor expansion joints. The previous work was done on a semicircular expansion joint by Commander N. J. Kleiss, U.S.N., and Lt. Comdr. S. W. Kerkering, U.S.N. in a thesis submitted to the Aeronautics Department of the California Institute of Technology.

Information was desired to make possible a more favorable design. The problem consists of continuing the investigation on a different design, thereby determining a trend for future designs.

The design chosen was a semicircular ring shell with reversed curvatures of the edges. It was felt that this configuration would eliminate most of the bending stresses found present at the weld of the semicircular design, and would make possible a more even distribution of stresses throughout the expansion joint.

Because the stresses encountered were so far beyond the elastic limit of the material, even for small total elongations of the expansion joint, no theoretical solutions of the problem were possible.

An analysis of the curves and data shows the joint to be unsatisfactory, particularly from the viewpoint of withstanding the internal pressure. Since the previous work indicated that the internal pressure was not critical for the semicircular design, it seems that a compromise of the two designs would more satisfactorily meet the requirements of withstanding both the elongation and the internal pressure.

An alternate design has been indicated which will make possible a trend of designs that should lead to a solution.

description: Discrete dynamic models are a powerful tool for the understanding and modeling of large biological networks. Although a lot of progress has been made in developing analysis tools for these models, there is still a need to find approaches that can directly relate the network structure to its dynamics. Of special interest is identifying the stable patterns of activity, i.e., the attractors of the system. This is a problem for large networks, because the state space of the system increases exponentially with network size. In this work we present a novel network reduction approach that is based on finding network motifs that stabilize in a fixed state. Notably, we use a topological criterion to identify these motifs. Specifically, we find certain types of strongly connected components in a suitably expanded representation of the network. To test our method we apply it to a dynamic network model for a type of cytotoxic T cell cancer and to an ensemble of random Boolean networks of size up to 200. Our results show that our method goes beyond reducing the network and in most cases can actually predict the dynamical repertoire of the nodes (fixed states or oscillations) in the attractors of the system.

Effects of spatial nonlocality versus nonlocal causality for bound electrons in external fields

description: Using numerically exact solution of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation together with time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo (TDQMC) calculations we compare the effects of spatial nonlocality versus nonlocal causality for the ground state and for real-time evolution of two entangled electrons in parabolic potential in one spatial dimension. It was found that the spatial entanglement quantified by the linear quantum entropy is predicted with good accuracy using the spatial nonlocality, parameterized naturally within the TDQMC approach. At the same time, the nonlocal causality predicted by the exact solution leads to only small oscillations in the quantum trajectories which belong to the idler electron as the driven electron is subjected to a strong high frequency electric field, without interaction between the electrons.

description: In general relativity, all black holes in vacuum are described by the Kerr metric, which has only two independent parameters: the mass and the spin. The unique dependence on these two parameters is known as the no-hair theorem. This theorem may be tested observationally by using electromagnetic or gravitational-wave observations to map the spacetime around a candidate black hole and measure potential deviations from the Kerr metric. Several parametric frameworks have been constructed for tests of the no-hair theorem. Due to the uniqueness of the Kerr metric, any such parametric framework must violate at least one of the assumptions of the no-hair theorem. This can lead to pathologies in the spacetime, such as closed timelike curves or singularities, which may hamper using the metric in the strong-field regime. In this paper, I analyze in detail several parametric frameworks and show explicitly the manner in which they differ from the Kerr metric. I calculate the coordinate locations of event horizons in these metrics, if any exist, using methods adapted from the numerical relativity literature. I identify the regions where each parametric deviation is unphysical as well as the range of coordinates and parameters for which each spacetime remains a regular extension of the Kerr metric and is, therefore, suitable for observational tests of the no-hair theorem.

description: Application of interpretable machine learning techniques on medical datasets facilitate early and fast diagnoses, along with getting deeper insight into the data. Furthermore, the transparency of these models increase trust among application domain experts. Medical datasets face common issues such as heterogeneous measurements, imbalanced classes with limited sample size, and missing data, which hinder the straightforward application of machine learning techniques. In this paper we present a family of prototype-based (PB) interpretable models which are capable of handling these issues. The models introduced in this contribution show comparable or superior performance to alternative techniques applicable in such situations. However, unlike ensemble based models, which have to compromise on easy interpretation, the PB models here do not. Moreover we propose a strategy of harnessing the power of ensembles while maintaining the intrinsic interpretability of the PB models, by averaging the model parameter manifolds. All the models were evaluated on a synthetic (publicly available dataset) in addition to detailed analyses of two real-world medical datasets (one publicly available). Results indicated that the models and strategies we introduced addressed the challenges of real-world medical data, while remaining computationally inexpensive and transparent, as well as similar or superior in performance compared to their alternatives.

description: In this Letter, we examine the phantom energy accretion onto a Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Ho$\check{r}$ava Lifshitz gravity. To discuss the accretion process onto the black hole, the equations of phantom flow near the black hole have been derived. It is found that mass of the black hole decreases because of phantom accretion. We discuss the conditions for critical accretion. Graphically, it has been found that the critical accretion phenomena is possible for different values of parameters. The results for the Schwarzschild black hole can be recovered in the limiting case.

description: Some of the problems associated with the applications of acoustical devices for the determination of airstream characteristics are considered in this study. The velocity and pressure fields for both point sound sources and finite sound sources in both subsonic and supersonic flow are discussed, with a view toward using sound waves for the determination of velocity, Mach number , temperature, and other properties of a flow.

The experimental investigations included the measurement of the spectra of ultra-audio-pressure pulsations, both static and total, in the small C.I.T. supersonic tunnel and also in the C.I.T. hypersonic tunnel. A broad range of Mach numbers and a variety of operating conditions were covered. The development of a modified Hartmann sound generator is described, and measurements of the sound field from this device in supersonic flow are included.

description: Primordial non-Gaussianity, in particular the coupling of modes with widely different wavelengths, can have a strong impact on the large-scale clustering of tracers through a scale-dependent bias with respect to matter. We demonstrate that the standard derivation of this non-Gaussian scale-dependent bias is in general valid only in the extreme squeezed limit of the primordial bispectrum, i.e. for clustering over very large scales. We further show how the treatment can be generalized to describe the scale-dependent bias on smaller scales, without making any assumptions on the nature of tracers apart from a dependence on the small-scale fluctuations within a finite region. If the leading scale-dependent bias Δb \propto k^α, then the first subleading term will scale as k^{α+2}. This correction typically becomes relevant as one considers clustering over scales k >~ 0.01 h Mpc^{-1}.

description: The parametric representation has been used since a long time for the evaluation of Feynman diagrams. As a dimension independent intermediate representation, it allows a clear description of singularities. Recently, it has become a choice tool for the investigation of the type of transcendent numbersappearing in the evaluation of Feynman diagrams. The inclusion of numerators has however stagnated since the ground work of Nakanishi. I here show howto greatly simplify the formulas through the use of Dodgson identities. In the massless case in particular, reduction to the completion to a vacuum graph allows for a strong reduction of the maximal power of the Symanzik polynomial in the denominator.

An experimental investigation of blocking in a high-speed, closed wind tunnel using the wall pressure method
Creators: name: Francis, D. L.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1949
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the possibility of using a semi-empirical, wall pressure method to determine wind tunnel blocking corrections in the transonic range. Included are axial distributions of velocity increments at the wall in the presence of the wing models. The main results are presented in the form of comparisons of the blockage corrections determined by the semi-empirical method with the blocking corrections obtained by direct calculation. The models used in this investigation were reflection-plane-mounted wings of various sizes and sweep angles and one two-dimensional wing. Data for wings at moderate angles of attach are included, when available.

The results indicate that the corrections obtained by the semi-empirical method agree with those obtained by direct calculation in the range of Mach numbers where agreement is expected. The semi-empirical corrections become rapidly larger than the calculated corrections as the critical Mach number of the wing is exceeded. The magnitudes of the differences in the transonic range are sufficiently large to warrant the application of the semi-empirical method to transonic wind tunnel tests.

description: The article provides an analysis of the current problems of multi-unit production due to the lack of adaptation planning methods and tools. The article considers the task of optimizing the production process by ensuring the maximum possible uniform loading of equipment with multi-unit production, using several software products to ensure rational planning and current control of production. To build a simulation model of the production process, reflecting the dynamic behavior of the system and the graphics of equipment loading, TechnomatixPlantSimulation was used. To automatically monitor the status of the machines and display the results in real time, it is proposed to use the AIS “Dispatcher” monitoring system.
Quantum secret sharing with continuous-variable cluster states

description: We extend the formalism of cluster state quantum secret sharing, as presented in Markham and Sanders [Phys. Rev. A 78, 042309 (2008)] and Keet et al. [Phy. Rev. A 82, 062315 (2010)], to the continuous-variable regime. We show that both classical and quantum information can be shared by distributing continuous-variable cluster states through either public or private channels. We find that the adversary structure is completely denied from the secret if the cluster state is infinitely squeezed, but some secret information would be leaked if a realistic finitely squeezed state is employed. We suggest benchmarks to evaluate the security in the finitely squeezed cases. For the sharing of classical secrets, we borrow techniques from the continuous-variable quantum key distribution to compute the secret sharing rate. For the sharing of quantum states, we estimate the amount of entanglement distilled for teleportation from each cluster state.

description: Recent numerical results on classical dimers with weak aligning interactions have been theoretically justified via a Coulomb Gas representation of the height random variable. Here we propose a completely different representation, the Interacting Fermions Picture, which avoids some difficulties of the Coulomb Gas approach and provides a better account of the numerical findings. Besides, we observe that Peierls' argument explains the behavior of the system in the strong interaction case.

description: We study the quantum dynamics of a supersymmetric squashed three-sphere by dimensionally reducing (to one timelike dimension) the action of D=4 simple supergravity for an SO(3)-homogeneous (Bianchi IX) cosmological model. The quantization of the homogeneous gravitino field leads to a 64-dimensional fermionic Hilbert space. The algebra of the supersymmetry constraints and of the Hamiltonian one is found to close. One finds that the quantum Hamiltonian is built from operators that generate a 64-dimensional representation of the (infinite-dimensional) maximally compact sub-algebra of the rank-3 hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra AE_3. Some exponentials of these operators generate a spinorial extension of the Weyl group of AE_3 which describe (in the small wavelength limit) the chaotic quantum evolution of the universe near the cosmological singularity.

description: Recent observation of zero bias conductance peaks in semiconductor wire/superconductor heterostructures has generated great interest, and there is a hot debate on whether the observation is associated with Majorana fermions (MFs). Here we study the local and crossed Andreev reflections in a junction of two normal leads and a sandwiched superconductor-semiconductor wire with two spatially separated but strongly coupled MF end states. The conductance and Fano factors of such a device are sharply different from the topologically trivial case even in the presence of disorder, and can hence be used to identify MFs unambiguously.

Lorentz-Violating Regulator Gauge Fields as the Origin of Dynamical Flavour Oscillations

description: We show how a mass mixing matrix can be generated dynamically, for two massless fermion flavours coupled to a Lorentz invariance violating (LIV) gauge field. The LIV features play the role of a regulator for the gap equations, and the non-analytic dependence of the dynamical masses, as functions of the gauge coupling, allows to consider the limit where the LIV gauge field eventually decouples from the fermions. Lorentz invariance is then recovered, to describe the oscillation between two free fermion flavours, and we check that the finite dynamical masses are the only effects of the original LIV theory. We also discuss briefly a connection of our results with the case of Majorana neutrinos in both, the standard model, where only left-handed (active) neutrinos are considered, and extensions thereof, with sterile right-handed neutrinos.
