description: This Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) represents the project selection

document for federally funded projects.  Project priorities are indicated by the

year the project is programmed.  This TIP is a multi-year, multi-agency listing

of transportation improvements for the Yuma County portion of the

Yuma Metropolitan Organization's area covering a period of five years, 1996

through 2000.  This TIP attempts to contain all transportation projects

including Bureau of Indian Affairs reservations, regardless of funding source,

in order to provide officials and citizenry with one document for reviewing

upcoming projects.  Funding for planning assistance and emergency relief

transportation improvement projects may also be included in the TIP.  These

projects are considered essential to the performance of the countywide

transportation system and are necessary to reestablish an element to the system

damaged by recent flooding of the Gila River.  The projects in this 1996-2000

TIP are consistent with the 1990-2010 Countywide Transportation Plan, adopted

November 30, 1989, and the Transportation Policy Framework of goals, objectives

and polices, adopted December 29, 1992.  42p.

description: The problem of skin effect with arbitrary specularity in maxwellian plasma with specular--diffuse boundary conditions is solved. A new analytical method is developed that makes it possible to to obtain a solution up to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. The method is based on the idea of symmetric continuation not only the electric field, but also electron distribution function. The solution is obtained in a form of von Neumann series.

description: This working paper is based on empirical research on the Translocal Figurations of Displacement in Greece and Italy. The authors aim to compare protracted displacement in Greece and Italy, looking at the structural forces shaping it and their interactions with migrants’ mobility and connectivity. This comparison is based on the analysis of the relations between two contextual variables (governance regimes and host population) and three key variables (mobility, connectivity and marginalisation). In this paper, they present findings from three study sites in Greece and four research locations in Italy. Findings show that protracted legal and socio-economic marginalisation is a key feature characterising the lives of displaced people in southern European countries. It confirms the hypothesis that protracted displacement does not end when forced migrants reach Greece or Italy. Restrictive governance regimes at the national and EU level severely limit mobility opportunities within Greece and Italy and across the European Union (EU). To cope with and resist marginalising and immobilising policies, displaced migrants in Italy and Greece put in place several strategies, ranging from adapting to governance regimes and taking the most out of them to resisting them and finding ways to avoid, bypass or overcome such regimes. In this framework, mobility and connectivity emerge as a resource and a trap for displaced migrants in southern Europe. On the one hand, migrants’ strategies of intra-national and intra-EU mobility may help them out of protracted displacement, while on the other, certain types of mobility (hyper-, circular, paradoxical) can entrap, rather than free them. Similarly, local, translocal and transnational networks emerge as a crucial resource for displaced people in Greece and Italy. At the same time, family and co-ethnic networks may also be experienced as disabling, hampering one’s aspirations to get out of protracted displacement. Fieldwork in both countries highlighted common factors shaping the relationships between displaced migrants and host communities. We also observed different facets of intergroup relations, ranging from indifference to friendship. The paper concludes by highlighting similarities and differences on the findings from both countries, based on qualitative and quantitative data.

description: We propose a model of inflation with a suitable potential for a single scalar field which falls in the wide class of hilltop inflation. We derive the analytical expressions for most of the physical quantities related to inflation and show that all of them represent the true behavior as required from a model of inflation. We further subject the results to observational verification by formulating the theory of perturbations based on our model followed by an estimation for the values of those observable parameters. Our model is found to be in excellent agreement with observational data. Thus, the features related to the model leads us to infer that this type of hilltop inflation may be a natural choice for explaining the early universe.

description: We study the dynamics of cold molecular gas in two main-sequence galaxies at cosmic noon (zC-488879 at $z\simeq1.47$ and zC-400569 at $z\simeq2.24$) using new high-resolution ALMA observations of multiple $^{12}$CO transitions. For zC-400569 we also re-analyze high-quality H$α$ data from the SINS/zC-SINF survey. We find that (1) Both galaxies have regularly rotating CO disks and their rotation curves are flat out to $\sim$8 kpc contrary to previous results pointing to outer declines in the rotation speed $V_{\rm rot}$; (2) The intrinsic velocity dispersions are low ($σ_{\rm CO}\lesssim15$ km/s for CO and $σ_{\rm Hα}\lesssim37$ km/s for H$α$) and imply $V_{\rm rot}/σ_{\rm CO}\gtrsim17-22$ yielding no significant pressure support; (3) Mass models using HST images display a severe disk-halo degeneracy: models with inner baryon dominance and models with "cuspy" dark matter halos can fit the rotation curves equally well due to the uncertainties on stellar and gas masses; (4) Milgromian dynamics (MOND) can successfully fit the rotation curves with the same acceleration scale $a_0$ measured at $z\simeq0$. The question of the amount and distribution of dark matter in high-$z$ galaxies remains unsettled due to the limited spatial extent of the available kinematic data; we discuss the suitability of various emission lines to trace extended rotation curves at high $z$. Nevertheless, the properties of these two high-$z$ galaxies (high $V_{\rm rot}/σ_{\rm V}$ ratios, inner rotation curve shapes, bulge-to-total mass ratios) are remarkably similar to those of massive spirals at $z\simeq0$, suggesting weak dynamical evolution over more than 10 Gyr of the Universe's lifetime.

Electronic transport in bent carbon nanotubes

description: We study the electronic transport through uniformly bent carbon nanotubes. For this purpose, we describe the nanotube with the tight-binding model and calculate the local current flow by employing non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) in the Keldysh formalism. In addition, we describe the low-energy excitations using an effective Dirac equation in curved space with a strain-induced pseudo-magnetic field which can be solved analytically for the torus geometry in terms of the Mathieu functions. We obtain a perfect quantitative agreement with the NEGF results. For nanotubes with an armchair edge, already a weak bending of 1% substantially changes the electronic properties. Depending on the valley, the current of the zero mode flows either on the outer or the inner side of the torus and, therefore, can be used as a valley splitter. In contrast, the zigzag nanotubes are largely unaffected by the bending. Our findings are of importance for nanoelectronic applications of carbon nanotubes and open new possibilities for valleytronics.

description: We investigate the effect of magnetic impurities on the local quasiparticle density of states (LDOS) in iron-based superconductors. Employing the two-orbital model where 3$d$ electron and hole conduction bands are hybridizing with the localized $f$-orbital of the impurity spin, we investigate how various symmetries of the superconducting gap and its nodal structure influence the quasiparticle excitations and impurity bound states. We show that the bound states behave qualitatively different for each symmetry. Most importantly we find that the impurity-induced bound states can be used to identify the nodal structure of the extended s-wave symmetry ($S^{\pm}$) that is actively discussed in ferropnictides.

description: A great deal of research has been devoted on the investigation of neural dynamics in various network topologies. However, only a few studies have focused on the influence of autapses, synapses from a neuron onto itself via closed loops, on neural synchronization. Here, we build a random network with adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons coupled with chemical synapses, equipped with autapses, to study the effect of the latter on synchronous behavior. We consider time delay in the conductance of the pre-synaptic neuron for excitatory and inhibitory connections. Interestingly, in neural networks consisting of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons, we uncover that synchronous behavior depends on their synapse type. Our results provide evidence on the synchronous and desynchronous activities that emerge in random neural networks with chemical, inhibitory and excitatory synapses where neurons are equipped with autapses. © Copyright © 2020 Protachevicz, Iarosz, Caldas, Antonopoulos, Batista and Kurths.

description: Magnetic and magnetoelectric excitations in the multiferroic TbMnO_3 have been investigated at terahertz frequencies. Using different experimental geometries we can clearly separate the electro-active excitations (electromagnons) from the magneto-active modes, i.e. antiferromagnetic resonances (AFMR). Two AFMR resonances were found to coincide with electromagnons. This indicates that both excitations belong to the same mode and the electromagnons can be excited by magnetic ac-field as well. In external magnetic fields and at low temperatures distinct fine structure of the electromagnons appears. In spite of the 90^o rotation of the magnetic structure, the electromagnons are observable for electric ac-fields parallel to the a-axis only. Contrary to simple expectations, the response along the c-axis remains purely magnetic in nature.

description: Abstract:
The film relates to the association called “The Voice of the Fair,” which takes care of mentally or developmentally disabled people, especially adolescents. Bruno Haroche, a French Jew who founded the association, needs to deal with various departments of the French Government as they are trying to shut the organization down.

Details:
Bruno Haroche is a busy man. Due to his position as the director of the association “The Voice of the Fair,” he is occupied with managing the supervisors of his home for people who are “special.” Furthermore, Bruno cares about his patients and spends his days looking after people like Joseph, who loves washing machines and can’t take the train on his own as he pulls the emergency trigger every time he drives. Or adolescents like Valentin, who is autistic and needs to wear a helmet as he wants to hit his head against objects.
The patients, who are living right at the association or at their parent’s houses, are taken out on excursions like skating or horse therapy with supervisors of the association. These supervisors are young people from the districts around the Jewish Association of Bruno. The education on how to deal with the patients is getting supervisors from Bruno’s partner, Malik, who calls the informal school “The ladder.”
Both “The Ladder” and “The Voice of the Fair” are informal organizations with no official permission to take care of the “special kids,” as Bruno calls his patients. Bruno doesn’t want to calm them down with sedatives to guarantee that the patients aren’t a threat to themselves or their families. However, many other hospitals and organizations are practising this, as it is comfortable and cheaper regarding expenses and staff.
Even though Bruno has a working concept, which consists of treating his patients with respect and putting every patient with a personal supervisor at their side, the inspectors of the French Government are trying to sue Bruno and his staff for child abuse since they aren’t formally trained.
After visiting the association and speaking to parents and hospitals where the patients usually come from, the inspectors note the importance of Bruno’s project. His association admits the “hopeless” cases that no other organization wants to receive, giving every patient the chance to live a dignified life. Finally, Bruno can continue his work and improve the quality of his patients’ lives, although his love life suffers from the constant availability for “his kids.”

description: Growth and food habits of 399 Age 0 mountain whitefish from the Logan River, Utah, were studied between March, 1970, and April, 1971. At the end of their first six months of life, whitefish were 86-96 mm total length and weighed 6-8 grams (wet). Total temperature experience was 2,950-3,430 degree- days above 32° F. The length-weight relationship for Age 0 mountain whitefish was best described by three stanzas with slopes of 4.3333 for fish 12.5-17.0 mm total length, 3.4437 for fish 17.0-55.0 mm total length, and 2.8043 for fish 50.0-112.0 mm total length. Scalation commenced at 30-35 mm total length and was complete at 40-50 mm total length. Feeding began before yolk-sac absorption was complete and 85 percent of the total diet in numbers was chironomid larvae. Age 0 mountain whitefish in the Logan River fed during daylight and evening hours, and selected chironomid larvae and other food organisms 2-4 mm long.

description: It is a long held conjecture in the connection between information geometry (IG) and thermodynamics that the curvature endowed by IG diverges at phase transitions. Recent work on the IG of Bose-Einstein (BE) gases challenged this conjecture by saying that in the limit of fugacity approaching unit -- where BE condensation is expected -- curvature does not diverge, rather it converges to zero. However, as the discontinuous behavior that identify condensation is only observed at the thermodynamic limit, a study of IG curvature at finite number of particles, $N$, is in order from which the thermodynamic behaviour can be observed by taking the thermodynamic limit ($N\to \infty$) posteriorly. This article presents such study, which was made possible by the recent advances presented in [Phys. Rev. A 104, 043318 (2021)]. We find that for a trapped gas, as $N$ increases, the values of curvature decrease proportionally to a power of $N$ while the temperature at which the maximum value of curvature occurs approaches the usually defined critical temperature. This means that, in the thermodynamic limit, curvature has a limited value where a phase transition is observed, contradicting the forementioned conjecture.

Genus expansion of matrix models and $\hbar$ expansion of $B$KP hierarchy

description: We continue the investigation of the connection between the genus expansion of matrix models and the $\hbar$ expansion of integrable hierarchies started in arXiv:2008.06416. In this paper, we focus on the $B$KP hierarchy, which corresponds to the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of type $B$. We consider the genus expansion of such important solutions as Brézin-Gross-Witten (BGW) model, Kontsevich model, and generating functions for spin Hurwitz numbers with completed cycles. We show that these partition functions with inserted parameter $\hbar$, which controls the genus expansion, are solutions of the $\hbar$-$B$KP hierarchy with good quasi-classical behavior. $\hbar$-$B$KP language implies the algorithmic prescription for $\hbar$-deformation of the mentioned models in terms of hypergeometric $B$KP $τ$-functions and gives insight into the similarities and differences between the models. Firstly, the insertion of $\hbar$ into the Kontsevich model is similar to the one in the BGW model, though the Kontsevich model seems to be a very specific example of hypergeometric $τ$-function. Secondly, generating functions for spin Hurwitz numbers appear to possess a different prescription for genus expansion. This property of spin Hurwitz numbers is not the unique feature of $B$KP: already in the KP hierarchy, one can observe that generating functions for ordinary Hurwitz numbers with completed cycles are deformed differently from the standard matrix model examples.

Together with an ensemble of actors with disabilities, filmmakers René Jeuckens, Peter Wallgram, and Grischa Windus conducted a six-month research project - in individual and group conversations about the night dreams of the ensemble members. This gave rise to the plot for the feature film “DAS LEBEN EIN TRAUM” (following the title of the classical play of Calderón de la Barca’s “La vida es sueño”). The film uses poetic images to explore the theme of inclusion and the limits of perception. It also explores the form an “inclusive film” might take.

description: Disruption prediction has made rapid progress in recent years, especially in machine learning (ML)-based methods. Understanding why a predictor makes a certain prediction can be as crucial as the prediction's accuracy for future tokamak disruption predictors. The purpose of most disruption predictors is accuracy or cross-machine capability. However, if a disruption prediction model can be interpreted, it can tell why certain samples are classified as disruption precursors. This allows us to tell the types of incoming disruption and gives us insight into the mechanism of disruption. This paper designs a disruption predictor called Interpretable Disruption Predictor based On Physics-guided feature extraction (IDP-PGFE) on J-TEXT. The prediction performance of the model is effectively improved by extracting physics-guided features. A high-performance model is required to ensure the validity of the interpretation results. The interpretability study of IDP-PGFE provides an understanding of J-TEXT disruption and is generally consistent with existing comprehension of disruption. IDP-PGFE has been applied to the disruption due to continuously increasing density towards density limit experiments on J-TEXT. The time evolution of the PGFE features contribution demonstrates that the application of ECRH triggers radiation-caused disruption, which lowers the density at disruption. While the application of RMP indeed raises the density limit in J-TEXT. The interpretability study guides intuition on the physical mechanisms of density limit disruption that RMPs affect not only the MHD instabilities but also the radiation profile, which delays density limit disruption.

description: Using neutron powder diffraction and Monte-Carlo simulations we show that a spin-liquid regime emerges at $all compositions in the diamond-lattice antiferromagnets Co(Al1-xCox)2O4. This spin-liquid regime induced by frustration due to the second-neighbour exchange coupling J2, is gradually superseded by antiferromagnetic collinear long-range order (k=0) at low temperatures. Upon substitution of Al3+ by Co3+ in the octahedral B-site the temperature range occupied by the spin-liquid regime narrows and TN increases. To explain the experimental observations we considered magnetic anisotropy D or third-neighbour exchange coupling J3 as degeneracy-breaking perturbations. We conclude that Co(Al1-xCox)2O4 is below the theoretical critical point J2/J1=1/8, and that magnetic anisotropy assists in selecting a collinear long-range ordered ground state, which becomes more stable with increasing x due to a higher efficiency of O-Co3+-O as an interaction path compared to O-Al3+-O.
title: An Evaluation of Land Use Planning Workshops Held in Utah During 1973

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: During 1973 a series of land use planning workshops for local officials and interested citizens was held in the multi-county planning districts of the state of Utah. The workshops were based on a planning process which had been used in Wasatch County, Utah, to develop the Heber Valley Plan. The emphasis of this process and of the workshops was the involvement of the citizens of the community in the planning process and the use of natural resource information as an additional basis for making planning decisions.
The evaluation includes a description of significant results of the Heber Valley Plan, events leading to a series of workshops, a typical workshop program, and activities which followed the workshops.
A questionnaire was sent to a sample of workshop participants in order to assess the response to the program. A content analysis was made of written comments on the returned questionnaires. A rating sheet was also prepared for use in evaluating or preparing educational literature for land use planning.
Results showed the workshops to be successful in creating awareness of the need for community input and the uses of natural resource information. They were less successful in providing "how to do it" type information.
Included in the Appendix are A Workbook on Land Use Planning, prepared specifically for these workshops, and The Heber Valley Story, also distributed at the workshops.
Automated distinction of shearing and distortion artefacts in structured illumination microscopy

description: Any motion during an image acquisition leads to an artefact in the final image. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) combines several raw images into one high-resolution image and is thus particularly prone to these motion artefacts. Their unpredictable shape cannot easily be distinguished from real high-resolution content. We previously implemented a motion detection specifically for SIM, which had two shortcomings which are solved here. First, the brightness dependency of the motion signal is removed. Second, the empirical threshold of the calculated motion signal was not a threshold at a maximum allowed artefact. Here we investigate which artefacts are still acceptable and which linear movement creates them. Thus, the motion signal is linked with the maximal strength of the expected artefact. A signal-to-noise analysis including classification successfully distinguishes between artefact-free imaging, shearing and distortion artefacts in biological specimens. A shearing, as in wide-field microscopy, is the dominant reconstruction artefact, while distortions arise not until surprisingly fast movements.

title: A General Study of Closed Circuit Television Utilization in Selected Courses at Utah State University
Creators: name: Christensen, Ted J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1970

description: This thesis presents an evaluation of instructional television as used in four courses at Utah State University. The study is divided into four parts: first, student attitudes and reactions; second, faculty attitudes and reactions; third, the costs involved for the individual faculty members concerned, the academic department, the Radio-Television department, and the University as a whole; and fourth, recommendations concerning the future use of instructional television at Utah State University.
The four courses involved in this study were basic introductory courses in Political Science, English, Sociology, and Music.
The investigator found that student attitudes and reactions varied with each course. The students in Political Science and English were generally uncertain in their attitude toward the use of television, with approximately equal numbers for and against. The students in Sociology and Music were very much in favor of the use of television.
The attitudes of the faculty members associated with this project ranged from very negative to very positive. The study indicated that those instructors who were highly motivated and enthusiastic before actually becoming involved with instructional television tended to remain so throughout. Those instructors who were skeptical and hesitant beforehand also retained their attitudes.
The third part of this study dealing with costs was divided into six areas for the Political Science and English courses: production costs, recording costs, instructional costs, utilization costs, cost for additional use, and cost per student credit unit for one academic year. In the cases of Sociology and Music only the production, recording and instructional costs were computed.
As a result of this study, this researcher recommends the delegation of more authority to the television personnel in order that they may have a voice in the utilization process of the television courses produced.
A second recommendation is that of initiating a two-phase in-service training program to assist the classroom teacher in adjusting to his new role, and to train the television teacher in methods of using instructional television.
Finally, the need to have available adequate facilities for the utilization processes has become apparent during the course of this study. Television cannot prove to be a satisfactory medium of instruction if it must be satisfied with poor lighting conditions, excessive noise levels, and an undesirable choice of hours during which to offer classes.

description: Stoner magnetism in bands endowed with Berry curvature is shown to be profoundly influenced by the coupling between spin chirality density $\vec s\cdot(\partial_x\vec s\times\partial_y\vec s)$ and Berry's orbital magnetization. The key effect is that carriers moving in the presence of a spin texture see it as a source of a geometric magnetic field coupled to the carrier's orbital motion through a spin-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect. This emergent spin-orbit interaction effect was recently predicted to enable chiral magnons propagating along system boundaries. Here we show that it also favors chiral spin textures such as skyrmions -- the topologically protected objects with particle-like properties, stabilized in the ground state. The threshold for Stoner instability is found to soften, rendering chiral spin-ordered phases accessible under realistic conditions. We present a detailed analysis of the chiral effect for Bernal bilayer graphene and discuss the unique properties of skyrmion textures in graphene multilayers.

description: We compute bottom mass ($m_b$) corrections to the transverse momentum ($q_T$) spectrum of Higgs bosons produced by gluon fusion in the regime $q_T \sim m_b \ll m_H$ at leading power in $m_b/m_H$ and $q_T/m_H$, where the gluons couple to the Higgs via a top loop. To this end we calculate the quark mass dependence of the transverse momentum dependent gluon beam functions (aka gluon TMDPDFs) at two loops in the framework of SCET. These functions represent the collinear matrix elements in the factorized gluon-fusion cross section for small $q_T$. We discuss in detail technical subtleties regarding rapidity regulators and zero-bin subtractions in the calculation of the virtual corrections present for massive quarks. Combined with the known soft function for $m_b \neq 0$ our results allow to determine the resummed Higgs $q_T$ distribution in the top-induced gluon fusion channel at NNLL$^\prime$ (and eventually N$^3$LL) with full dependence on $m_b/q_T$. We perform a first phenomenological analysis at fixed order, where the new corrections to the massless approximation lead to percent-level effects in the peak region of the Higgs $q_T$ spectrum. Upon resummation they may thus be relevant for state-of-the-art precision predictions for the LHC.

Entanglement entropy and the determination of an unknown quantum state

description: An initial unknown quantum state can be determined with a single measurement apparatus by letting it interact with an auxiliary, "Ancilla", system as proposed by Allahverdyan, Balian and Nieuwenhuizen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 120402 (2004)]. In the case of two qubits, this procedure allows to reconstruct the initial state of the qubit of interest S by measuring three commuting observables and therefore by means of a single apparatus, for the total system S + A at a later time. The determinant of the matrix of the linear transformation connecting the measurements of three commuting observables at time t > 0 to the components of the polarization vector of S at time t = 0 is used as an indicator of the reconstructability of the initial state of the system S. We show that a connection between the entanglement entropy of the total system S + A and such a determinant exists, and that for a pure state a vanishing entanglement individuates, without a need for any measurement, those intervals of time for which the reconstruction procedure is least efficient. This property remains valid for a generic dimension of S. In the case of a mixed state this connection is lost.

title: Environmental Analysis of the Swan Peak Formation in the Bear River Range, North-Central Utah and Southeastern Idaho
Creators: name: VanDorston, Philip L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: The Swan Peak Formation in the Bear River Range of northern Utah and southeastern Idaho varies in thickness from 0 feet to over 400 feet. It consists of three units: (1) a lower unit of interbedded quartzites, shales, and limestones; (2) A middle unit of interbedded quartzites and shales; (3) An upper unit of nearly homogeneous quartzites. The different sedimentary structures, ichnofossils, body fossils, and mineral compositions of each unit represent different environments of deposition. The lower unit probably was deposited in a shallow-shelf environment, and its sediments grade upward into probably shoreface-, tidal-flat-, and lagoonal deposits of the middle unit. The upper unit is believed to be a shallow-marine sand deposited by south-flowing currents.
The lower and middle uits of the Swan Peak Formation consist of a progradational suite of nearshore lithologies formed during the regression of the sea that terminated the early Paleozoic Sauk Sequence. The formation lies disconformably beneath the Ordovician Fish Haven Dolomite, and rests conformably on the underlying Ordovician Garden City Formation.
The upper and middle units thin eastward and south-eastward to a feather edge, whereas the lower unit is thickest along an east-west trending belt and thins northward and southward. The lower unit could be time-equivalent to the upper and middle units in the north.
Possible estuarine deposits containing detrital hydroxyapatite suggest a local fluvial source in the southeast. The immediate source for much of the sand in the middle and upper units lay northward in Idaho.
"Fucoidal markings" within the middle unit appear to be feeding burrows filled with reworked sediment that was consumed or searched for the organic content by littoral to sublittoral benthonic predators or scavengers, probably orthoconic cephalopods.

description: We present the long-term monitoring of the High Mass X-ray Binary GX 301-2 performed with the SuperAGILE instrument on-board the AGILE mission. The source was monitored in the 20-60 keV energy band during the first year of the mission from 2007 July 17 to 2008 August 31, covering about one whole orbital period and three more pre-periastron passages for a total net observation time of about 3.7 Ms. The SuperAGILE dataset represents one of the most continuous and complete monitoring at hard X-ray energies of the 41.5 day long binary period available to date. The source behavior was characterized at all orbital phases in terms of hard X-ray flux, spectral hardness, spin period history, pulsed fraction and pulse shape profile. We also complemented the SuperAGILE observations with the soft X-ray data of the RossiXTE/ASM. Our analysis shows a clear orbital modulation of the spectral hardness, with peaks in correspondence with the pre-periastron flare and near phase 0.25. The hardness peaks we found could be related with the wind-plus-stream accretion model proposed in order to explain the orbital light curve modulation of GX 301-2. Timing analysis of the pulsar spin period shows that the secular trend of the about 680 s pulse period is consistent with the previous observations, although there is evidence of a slight decrease in the spin-down rate. The analysis of the hard X-ray pulsed emission also showed a variable pulse shape profile as a function of the orbital phase, with substructures detected near the passage at the periastron, and a clear modulation of the pulsed fraction, which appears in turn strongly anti-correlated with the source intensity.

description: We study the many-body dynamics of weakly interacting Bose gases with two-particle losses. We show that both the two-body interactions and losses in atomic gases may be tuned by controlling the inelastic scattering process between atoms by an optical Feshbach resonance. Interestingly, the low-energy behavior of the scattering amplitude is governed by a single parameter, i.e. the complex $s$-wave scattering length $a_c$. The many-body dynamics are thus described by a Lindblad master equation with complex scattering length. We solve this equation by applying the Bogoliubov approximation in analogy to the closed systems. Various peculiar dynamical properties are discovered, some of them may be regarded as the dissipative counterparts of the celebrated results in closed Bose gases. For example, we show that the next-order correction to the mean-field particle decay rate is to the order of $|n a_c^{3}|^{1/2}$, which is an analogy of the Lee-Huang-Yang correction of Bose gases. It is also found that there exists a dynamical symmetry of symplectic group Sp$(4,\mathbb{C})$ in the quadratic Bogoliubov master equation, which is an analogy of the SU(1,1) dynamical symmetry of the corresponding closed system. We further confirmed the validity of the Bogoliubov approximation by comparing its results with a full numerical calculation in a double-well toy model. Generalizations of other alternative approaches such as the dissipative version of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and hydrodynamic theory are also discussed in the last.
