Review on Steel Reinforcements Replaced by Bamboo and GFRP Rods in Concrete Slab
Creators: name: Nivetha R
name: Seethalakshmi T
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Currently fiber-reinforced polymers are increasing in importance in the market due to their lightness,
high strength-to-weight ratio, high durability, stiffness, damping properties, flexural strength,
abrasion, impact and fire resistance. They have been used as a replacement for traditional steel bars
due to their excellent electrochemical corrosion resistance properties. These polymers have become
important materials for maintaining and strengthening existing infrastructures. In recent decades,
there has been a growing interest in the use of bamboo in construction, mainly due to its durability.
The mechanical properties of bamboo, its availability in developing regions, low cost, lightness and
short growth cycle have led to its empirical use as reinforcement in concrete structures. This article
provides an overview of the behaviour of GFRP and bamboo reinforced plates, their advantages and
applications.

Phase diagram of non-degenerate twisted mass fermions

description: We determine the phase diagram and pion spectrum for Wilson and twisted-mass fermions in the presence of non-degeneracy between the up and down quark and discretization errors, using Wilson and twisted-mass chiral perturbation theory. We find that the CP-violating phase of the continuum theory (which occurs for sufficiently large non-degeneracy) is continuously connected to the Aoki-phase of the lattice theory with degenerate quarks. We show that discretization effects can, in some cases, push simulations with physical masses closer to either the CP-violating phase or another phase not present in the continuum, so that at sufficiently large lattice spacings physical-point simulations could lie in one of these phases.

description: We propose a novel linear perturbation scheme to study the stability properties of the stationary transonic integral solutions for axisymmetric matter flow around astrophysical black holes for the Schwarzschild as well as for rotating Rindler space time. We discuss the emergence of the relativistic acoustic geometry as a consequence of such stability analysis. Our work thus makes a crucial connection between two apparently non-overlapping fields of research - the accretion astrophysics and the analogue gravity phenomena.

On the dependence of the static friction force between a rigid, randomly rough fractal surface and a viscoelastic body on the normal force

CONTACT STIFFNESS
METHOD OF REDUCTION OF DIMENSIONALITY

description: The present investigation is based on the assumption that the static coefficient of friction can be characterized roughly by the rms value of the surface gradient in the contact region. We numerically investigate the contact between a rigid, randomly rough surface and an elastic half-space and determine the dependence of the rms slope in the contact region on the normal force. For fractal surfaces with a Hurst exponent of H » 1, the rms slope can be approximated very well by a logarithmic function of the normal force. Parameters of the approximation have been determined as functions of the Hurst exponent. The rms value of the slope always increases with the normal force, which indicates that the coefficient of friction should be an increasing function of the normal force.

description: The necessity of quantising the gravitational field is still subject to an open debate. In this paper we compare the approach of quantum gravity, with that of a fundamentally semi-classical theory of gravity, in the weak-field non-relativistic limit. We show that, while in the former case the Schrödinger equation stays linear, in the latter case one ends up with the so-called Schrödinger-Newton equation, which involves a nonlinear, non-local gravitational contribution. We further discuss that the Schrödinger-Newton equation does not describe the collapse of the wave-function, although it was initially proposed for exactly this purpose. Together with the standard collapse postulate, fundamentally semi-classical gravity gives rise to superluminal signalling. A consistent fundamentally semi-classical theory of gravity can therefore only be achieved together with a suitable prescription of the wave-function collapse. We further discuss, how collapse models avoid such superluminal signalling and compare the nonlinearities appearing in these models with those in the Schrödinger-Newton equation.

Evaluating the Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Rheological and Fluid Loss Properties of Synthetic Based Drilling Fluids Formulated With Micronized Weighting Agents
Creators: name: Stanley Ifeanyi Fredrick Okonkwo
name: Ogbonna Friday Joel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In adverse drilling environments such as High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) wells, high
temperatures and pressures encountered downhole by drilling fluids may degrade their chemical
constituents. This may undermine the drilling fluid's ability to carry out its functions effectively and result
in problems while drilling. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of temperature and
pressure on fluid losses and rheological properties of novel, synthetic based drilling fluids (SBDFs)
formulated with different sizes and types of weighting agents. Weighting additives such as 53µm barite,
25-30µm barite, 5-9µm barite, 7-9µm Ferox (Iron-Oxide) and 6-8µm Fero-Bar (blend of dual-weighted
agents of Ferox and Barite) were used to formulate different mud samples (each 16.5ppg) to carry out
rheology tests within temperature and pressure ranges of 120oF to 400oF and 14.7Psi to 12,000Psi and
HPHT fluid loss tests in the laboratory. The mud sample weighted with 53µm barite (un-micronized) was
used as the control sample to compare with the performance of other drilling fluid samples (i.e micronized
mud samples). The outcome of the tests indicate that the mud samples formulated with weighting
materials of ultra-fine particles sizes (5µm to 9µm) indicated a more resilient, near-flat rheological profile
and lower HPHT fluid losses across elevated temperature and pressure ranges than the mud sample
weighted with weighting materials from coarser particles sizes (53µm). Therefore, the use of micronized
weighting agents of ultra-fine particles sizes to weigh up the advanced mud premix helped to bridge some
of the already established challenges associated with traditional drilling fluids in HPHT drilling
environments such as high temperature gelation of the drilling fluids, poor rheological control, and severe
HPHT fluid losses.

description: The animal gut has a remarkable abundance of microbes. These microbes have strong potential for biosynthesis of promising drug candidates, and these small bioactive molecules often medicate important host–microbe and microbe–microbe interactions. To understand the evolution of the animal gut microbes and their biosynthetic gene clusters, we characterized 24 faecal samples from different herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, by next-generation sequencing of the 16S rDNA V3-V4 hypervariable regions and NRPS. The results showed that the host diet and phylogeny both not only influence the bacterial communities, but also that NRPS gene clusters co-diversified with their gut microbiota. We also found that the animal gut microbiome contains abundant secondary metabolic synthesis gene clusters, which prove to be a potential gold mine of novel bioactive natural products. In conclusion, our results reveal the co-diversity of animal gut microbiota and their NRPS gene clusters, and suggest that potential NRPS natural products are hidden in the animal microbiome.
Extended necessary condition for local operations and classical communication: Tight bound for all measurements
Creators: name: Cohen, Scott M.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give a necessary condition that a separable measurement can be implemented by local quantum operations and classical communication (LOCC) in any finite number of rounds of communication, generalizing and strengthening a result obtained previously. That earlier result involved a bound that is tight when the number of measurement operators defining the measurement is relatively small. The present results generalize that bound to one that is tight for any finite number of measurement operators, and we also provide an extension which holds when that number is infinite. We apply these results to the famous example on a $3\times3$ system known as "domino states", which were the first demonstration of nonlocality without entanglement. Our new necessary condition provides an additional way of showing that these states cannot be perfectly distinguished by (finite-round) LOCC. It directly shows that this conclusion also holds for their cousins, the rotated domino states. This illustrates the usefulness of the present results, since our earlier necessary condition, which these results generalize, is not strong enough to reach a conclusion about the domino states.

description: The quantum state of a superconducting transmon qubit inside a three-dimensional cavity is monitored by reflection of a microwave field on the cavity. The information inferred from the measurement record is incorporated in a density matrix $ρ_t$, which is conditioned on probe results until $t$, and in an auxiliary matrix $E_t$, which is conditioned on probe results obtained after $t$. Here, we obtain these matrices from experimental data and we illustrate their application to predict and retrodict the outcome of weak and strong qubit measurements.

description: Cables are essential in civil engineering for constructing slender, lightweight structures with large spans. To ensure serviceability and load-bearing capacity, a monitoring of the cable forces is necessary. Conventional, static methods are not suitable for systems with highly pre-stressed cables or large cable diameters, so dynamic measurements using the cable's vibration behavior offer an alternative. This study presents laboratory test results on inverse identification of cable forces using eigenmodes and the corresponding frequencies, comparing contact and non-contact dynamic measurement methods. Two methods for determining the cable force will be investigated within this study: (1) the linear theory of vibrating strings neglects internal sag and bending stiffness, and (2) an inverse identification of the cable force for a cable tensioned on both sides, accounting for bending stiffness. Contact based measurement with accelerometers can identify many eigenmodes and frequencies unambiguously and is suitable for simple systems like single span systems. In the conducted investigations, the non-contact measurement with microwave interferometers could only identify up to 4 natural frequencies. The study also examines the influence of the free vibration length, which, in addition to the bending stiffness of the cable, the fork fitting and utilization, has a significant influence on the determined cable forces. The implications for using different fork fittings and cable cross-sections are discussed. This study offers valuable insights into the challenges and limitations of cable force identification and highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate measurement method based on the design of the cable structure.

description: The two MAGIC 17-m diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes have been equipped to work also as an intensity interferometer with a deadtime-free, 4-channel, GPU-based, real-time correlator. Operating with baselines between approx. 40 and 90 m the MAGIC interferometer is able to measure stellar diameters of 0.5-1 mas in the 400-440 nm wavelength range with a sensitivity roughly 10 times better than that achieved in the 1970s by the Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer. Besides, active mirror control allows to split the primary mirrors into sub-mirrors. This allows to make simultaneous calibration measurements of the zero-baseline correlation or to simultaneously collect six baselines below 17 m with almost arbitrary orientation, corresponding to angular scales of approx. 1-50 mas. We plan to perform test observations adding the nearby Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) LST-1 23 m diameter telescope by next year. All three telescope pairs will be correlated simultaneously. Adding LST-1 is expected to increase the sensitivity by at least 1 mag and significantly improve the u-v plane coverage. If successful, the proposed correlator setup is scalable enough to be implemented to the full CTA arrays.

Pulsations as a Driver for LBV Variability

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Among the most spectacular variable stars are the Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), which can show three types of variability. The LBV phase of evolution is poorly understood, and the driving mechanisms for the variability are not known. The most common type of variability, the S Dor instability, occurs on timescales of tens of years. During an S Dor outburst, the visual magnitude of the star increases, while the bolometric magnitude stays approximately constant. In this work, we investigate pulsation as a possible trigger for the S Dor type outbursts. We calculate the pulsations of envelope models using a nonlinear hydrodynamics code including a time-dependent convection treatment. We initialize the pulsation in the hydrodynamic model based on linear non-adiabatic calculations. Pulsation properties for a full grid of models from 20 to 85 M$_{\odot}$ were calculated, and in this paper we focus on the few models that show either long-period pulsations or outburst-like behaviour, with photospheric radial velocities reaching 70-80 km/s. At the present time, our models cannot follow mass loss, so once the outburst event begins, our simulations are terminated. Our results show that pulsations alone are not able to drive enough surface expansion to eject the outer layers. However, the outbursts and long-period pulsations discussed here produce large variations in effective temperature and luminosity, which are expected to produce large variations in the radiatively driven mass-loss rates.

description: Although deep federated learning has received much attention in recent years, progress has been made mainly in the context of natural images and barely for computational pathology. However, deep federated learning is an opportunity to create datasets that reflect the data diversity of many laboratories. Further, the effort of dataset construction can be divided among many. Unfortunately, existing algorithms cannot be easily applied to computational pathology since previous work presupposes that data distributions of laboratories must be similar. This is an unlikely assumption, mainly since different laboratories have different staining styles. As a solution, we propose BottleGAN, a generative model that can computationally align the staining styles of many laboratories and can be trained in a privacy-preserving manner to foster federated learning in computational pathology. We construct a heterogenic multi-institutional dataset based on the PESO segmentation dataset and improve the IOU by 42\% compared to existing federated learning algorithms. An implementation of BottleGAN is available at https://github.com/MECLabTUDA/BottleGAN

Phases of planar 5-dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory

description: In this paper we investigate the large-$N$ behavior of 5-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Yang-Mills with a level $k$ Chern-Simons term and an adjoint hypermultiplet. As in three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories, one must choose an integration contour to completely define the theory. Using localization, we reduce the path integral to a matrix model with a cubic action and compute its free energy in various scenarios. In the limit of infinite Yang-Mills coupling and for particular choices of the contours, we find that the free-energy scales as $N^{5/2}$ for $U(N)$ gauge groups with large values of the Chern-Simons 't\,Hooft coupling, $\tildeλ\equiv N/k$. If we also set the hypermultiplet mass to zero, then this limit is a superconformal fixed point and the $N^{5/2}$ behavior parallels other fixed points which have known supergravity duals. We also demonstrate that $SU(N)$ gauge groups cannot have this $N^{5/2}$ scaling for their free-energy. At finite Yang-Mills coupling we establish the existence of a third order phase transition where the theory crosses over from the Yang-Mills phase to the Chern-Simons phase. The phase transition exists for any value of $\tildeλ$, although the details differ between small and large values of $\tildeλ$. For pure Chern-Simons theories we present evidence for a chain of phase transitions as $\tildeλ$ is increased. We also find the expectation values for supersymmetric circular Wilson loops in these various scenarios and show that the Chern-Simons term leads to different physical properties for fundamental and anti-fundamental Wilson loops. Different choices of the integration contours also lead to different properties for the loops.

description: The magnetization and magnetic torque of a high-quality single crystal of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ have been measured down to 0.1 K under a precise control of the magnetic-field orientation. When the magnetic field is applied exactly parallel to the $ab$ plane, a sharp magnetization jump $4πδM$ of $(0.74 \pm 0.15)$ G at the upper critical field $H_{{\rm c2},{ab}} \sim 15$ kOe with a field hysteresis of 100 Oe is observed at low temperatures, evidencing a first-order superconducting-normal transition. A strong magnetic torque appearing when $H$ is slightly tilted away from the $ab$ plane confirms an intrinsic anisotropy $\varGamma=ξ_a/ξ_c$ of as large as 60 even at 100 mK, in contrast with the observed $H_{\rm c2}$ anisotropy of $\sim 20$. The present results raise fundamental issues in both the existing spin-triplet and spin-singlet scenarios, providing, in turn, crucial hints toward the resolution of the superconducting nature of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.

description: As the number of spins in an ensemble is reduced, the statistical uctuations in its polarization eventually exceed the mean thermal polarization. This transition has now been surpassed in a number of recent nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, which achieve nanometer-scale detection volumes. Here, we measure nanometer- scale ensembles of nuclear spins in a KPF6 sample using magnetic resonance force microscopy. In particular, we investigate the transition between regimes dominated by thermal and statistical nuclear polarization. The ratio between the two types of polarization provides a measure of the number of spins in the detected ensemble.

Using acoustofluidic computer simulations, we found that the propulsion of such nano- and microcones decreases strongly and even changes sign for increasing shear viscosity. In contrast, we found only a weak dependence of the propulsion on the bulk viscosity. The obtained results are in line with the findings of previous theoretical and experimental studies.

description: We present two estimators to quantify the angular power spectrum of the sky signal directly from the visibilities measured in radio interferometric observations. This is relevant for both the foregrounds and the cosmological 21-cm signal buried therein. The discussion here is restricted to the Galactic synchrotron radiation, the most dominant foreground component after point source removal. Our theoretical analysis is validated using simulations at 150 MHz, mainly for GMRT and also briefly for LOFAR. The Bare Estimator uses pairwise correlations of the measured visibilities, while the Tapered Gridded Estimator uses the visibilities after gridding in the uv plane. The former is very precise, but computationally expensive for large data. The latter has a lower precision, but takes less computation time which is proportional to the data volume. The latter also allows tapering of the sky response leading to sidelobe suppression, an useful ingredient for foreground removal. Both estimators avoid the positive bias that arises due to the system noise. We consider amplitude and phase errors of the gain, and the w-term as possible sources of errors . We find that the estimated angular power spectrum is exponentially sensitive to the variance of the phase errors but insensitive to amplitude errors. The statistical uncertainties of the estimators are affected by both amplitude and phase errors. The w-term does not have a significant effect at the angular scales of our interest. We propose the Tapered Gridded Estimator as an effective tool to observationally quantify both foregrounds and the cosmological 21-cm signal.

description: We show that in previous analyses of electron-proton scattering, the uncertainties in the statistical procedure to extract the proton charge radius are underestimated. Using a fit function based on a conformal mapping, we can describe the scattering data with high precision and extract a radius value in agreement with the one obtained from muonic hydrogen.

description: Galaxy clusters magnify background objects through strong gravitational lensing. Typical magnifications for lensed galaxies are factors of a few but can also be as high as tens or hundreds, stretching galaxies into giant arcs. Individual stars can attain even higher magnifications given fortuitous alignment with the lensing cluster. Recently, several individual stars at redshift $z \sim 1 - 1.5$ have been discovered, magnified by factors of thousands, temporarily boosted by microlensing. Here we report observations of a more distant and persistent magnified star at redshift $z_{\rm phot} = 6.2 \pm 0.1$, 900 Myr after the Big Bang. This star is magnified by a factor of thousands by the foreground galaxy cluster lens WHL0137--08 ($z = 0.566$), as estimated by four independent lens models. Unlike previous lensed stars, the magnification and observed brightness (AB mag 27.2) have remained roughly constant over 3.5 years of imaging and follow-up. The delensed absolute UV magnitude $M_{UV} = -10 \pm 2$ is consistent with a star of mass $M > 50 M_{\odot}$. Confirmation and spectral classification are forthcoming from approved observations with the James Webb Space Telescope

description: The mixing condition is often considered to modeling the functional time series data. Alternatively, in this work we consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of the regression function in Single Functional Index Model (SFIM) under the quasia-ssociation dependence condition. The main result of this work is the establishment of the asymptotic properties of the estimator, such as the almost complete convergence rates. Furthermore, the asymptotic normality of the constructed are obtained under some mild conditions. We finally discuss how to apply our result to construct the confidence intervals. Finally, the finite-sample performances of the model and the estimation method are illustrated using the analysis of simulated data.

description: Interacting spin systems are of fundamental relevance in different areas of physics, as well as in quantum information science, and biology. These spin models represent the simplest, yet not fully understood, manifestation of quantum many-body systems. An important outstanding problem is the efficient numerical computation of dynamics in large spin systems. Here we propose a new semiclassical method to study many-body spin dynamics in generic spin lattice models. The method is based on a discrete Monte Carlo sampling in phase-space in the framework of the so-called truncated Wigner approximation. Comparisons with analytical and numerically exact calculations demonstrate the power of the technique. They show that it correctly reproduces the dynamics of one- and two-point correlations and spin squeezing at short times, thus capturing entanglement. Our results open the possibility to study the quantum dynamics accessible to recent experiments in regimes where other numerical methods are inapplicable.

description: A well-isolated system often shows relaxation to a quasi-stationary state before reaching thermal equilibrium. Such a prethermalization has attracted considerable interest recently in association with closely related fundamental problems of relaxation and thermalization of isolated quantum systems. Motivated by the recent experiment in ultracold atoms, we study the dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas which is split into two subsystems, and find that individual subsystems relax to Gibbs states, yet the entire system does not due to quantum entanglement. In view of recent experimental realization on a small well-defined number of ultracold atoms, our prediction based on exact few-body calculations is amenable to experimental test.

Spectral butterfly, mixed Dirac-Schrödinger fermion behavior and topological states in armchair uniaxial strained graphene

description: An exact mapping of the tight-binding Hamiltonian for a graphene's nanoribbon under any armchair uniaxial strain into an effective one-dimensional system is presented. As an application, for a periodic modulation we have found a gap opening at the Fermi level and a complex fractal spectrum, akin to the Hofstadter butterfly resulting from the Harper model. The latter can be explained by the commensurability or incommensurability nature of the resulting effective potential. When compared with the zig-zag uniaxial periodic strain, the spectrum shows much bigger gaps, although in general the states have a more extended nature. For a special critical value of the strain amplitude and wavelength, a gap is open. At this critical point, the electrons behave as relativistic Dirac femions in one direction, while in the other, a non-relativistic Schrödinger behavior is observed. Also, some topological states were observed which have the particularity of not being completly edge states since they present some amplitude in the bulk. However, these are edge states of the effective system due to a reduced dimensionality through decoupling. These states also present the fractal Chern beating observed recently in quasiperiodic systems.

description: We analyze the Glauber dynamics for a bi-populated Curie-Weiss model. We obtain the limiting behavior of the empirical averages in the limit of infinitely many particles. We then characterize the phase space of the model in absence of magnetic field and we show that several phase transitions in the inter-groups interaction strength occur.
