Quantum Inverse Scattering and the Lambda Deformed Principal Chiral Model

description: The lambda model is a one parameter deformation of the principal chiral model that arises when regularizing the non-compactness of a non-abelian T dual in string theory. It is a current-current deformation of a WZW model that is known to be integrable at the classical and quantum level. The standard techniques of the quantum inverse scattering method cannot be applied because the Poisson bracket is non ultra-local. Inspired by an approach of Faddeev and Reshetikhin, we show that in this class of models, there is a way to deform the symplectic structure of the theory leading to a much simpler theory that is ultra-local and can be quantized on the lattice whilst preserving integrability. This lattice theory takes the form of a generalized spin chain that can be solved by standard algebraic Bethe Ansatz techniques. We then argue that the IR limit of the lattice theory lies in the universality class of the lambda model implying that the spin chain provides a way to apply the quantum inverse scattering method to this non ultra-local theory. This points to a way of applying the same ideas to other lambda models and potentially the string world-sheet theory in the gauge-gravity correspondence.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We present data for the 'Biological Effects Monitoring' of the marine environment to detect changes in ecosystem health and state. The method uses the prevalence of malformations in pelagic fish embryos as indicator, and is based on a proven relationship between developmental defects in embryos and tissue contaminant levels of parent fish as well as rearing temperature. Any significant increase of embryo abnormalities indicates the existence of an impact on the system - either natural or anthropogenic. A time series from 1984 until 2002 is available for the German Bight in the southern North Sea. Data on fish embryo malformation reflect the occurrence of anthropogenic pollutants in the German Bight with a rather continuous decline since 1990 and are consistent with the development of xenobiotics in sediments and Elbe river input data as well. Data are presented for the species dab Limanda limanda, plaice Pleuronectes platessa, flounder Platichthys flesus, cod Gadus morhua and whiting Merlangius merlangus. They are compared with chlorinated hydrocarbon levels in dab and flounder from the German Bight. Most recent data indicate a stabilization of malformation rates at a rather low (2%) level which is considered the natural background. At this point extreme temperatures play an important role in the occurrence of overall malformation rates as well as in interpretation of data.
Functional dynamics of coral reef fish in marine protected areas

description: Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that provide services to millions of people around the world. However, these ecosystems are rapidly transforming in the age of the Anthropocene. In this thesis, I explore how a trait-based approach can be used as a methodological tool to understand and conserve coral reef ecosystems through prioritising ecosystem functioning. In Chapter 1, I systematically review the literature on coral reef fish traits through a response-and-effect framework. I identify where there is evidence linking traits to disturbances, management actions, and ecosystem processes, and where there are gaps in the literature. In Chapter 2, I use traits identified through my review of the literature to look at functional changes over time in no-take marine reserves in Kenya. I demonstrate that over 44 years of protection, both abundance and biomass increase, and the functional trait space of the fish communities within the reserves is novel and not stabilising. In Chapter 3, I expand on my work from Chapter 2, where I used surveys conducted by the same individual over multiple decades, to explore more participatory ways to monitor fish communities and biomass trends across a proposed Transboundary Conservation Area between Kenya and Tanzania. I find that fish traps can be used as a participatory monitoring tool to detect trends across a gradient of protection from fishing, and video transects can provide relatively precise biomass estimates and serve as an opportunity for collective learning. Finally, in Chapter 4, I shift to looking at traits on a global scale and apply phylogenetic models to predict the fecundity of 831 coral reef fish species. I then look at global drivers of site-level fecundity and demonstrate the positive impact of marine protection on the fecundity of important fisheries species. Overall, this thesis adds to a necessary diversity of tools needed to conserve coral reef functioning in the Anthropocene.

description: This dissertation is motivated by the need, in today's globalist world, for a precise way to enable governments, organisations and other regulatory bodies to evaluate the constraints they place on themselves and others. An organisation's modus operandi is enacting and fulfilling contracts between itself and its participants. Yet, organisational contracts should respect external laws, such as those setting out data privacy rights and liberties. Contracts can only be enacted by following contract law processes, which often require bilateral agreement and consideration. Governments need to legislate whilst understanding today's context of national and international governance hierarchy where law makers shun isolationism and seek to influence one another. Governments should avoid punishment by respecting constraints from international treaties and human rights charters. Governments can only enact legislation by following their own, pre-existing, law making procedures. In other words, institutions, such as laws and contracts are designed and enacted under constraints.

description: Anharmonic cascade emission simulations, herein evinced by full reproduction and deep insights into recent emission spectroscopy experiments of phenylacetylene, are integral to the future successful analysis of JWST observational spectra. Experimental infrared absorption experiments conducted in this study reveal a complex spectrum dominated by quantum effects that are uncovered by anharmonic computational analysis. From this work, it becomes clear that phenylacetylene exhibits strong resonance coupling between fundamental and two-quanta combination modes as well as giving indication for coupling with higher-order, three-quanta combination bands. This study benchmarks the development of advanced computational methods that will be extended to larger systems of astronomical relevance and those including isotopic substitution and side group functionalization with groups such as acetylene. The astrophysical implications of these results, including the potential for detection of acetylenic C–H stretches in space, are discussed in the vein of the impact polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have on astronomical infrared emission bands.

description: As a consequence of lagging dry matter intake and increased energy demands, nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) is released into the bloodstream from adipose tissue to be used as a source of energy in dairy cows in early lactation. Nonesterified fatty acid is used for milk fat synthesis, ketone production (e.g., -hydroxybutyrate; BHBA) and liver triglyceride accumulation. Nonesterified fatty acid and BHBA can be used as markers of negative energy balance (NEB) and elevated concentrations in the transition period have been associated with an increased risk of developing disease. The multiple pathways available for NEFA may result in a non-linear relationship between NEFA and BHBA concentrations. Additionally, the ratio between these two metabolites may differ in sub populations, e.g., subclinically ketotic (SCK) cows, and cows with elevated NEFA. Hence, the ratio of these metabolites may be a useful parameter for further understanding the biological mechanisms of adaption or maladaptation to NEB. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the R2 coefficient of determination between NEFA and BHBA in apparently healthy cows three to 14 DIM, and to estimate the association between the ratio of NEFA to BHBA and the subsequent development of displaced abomasum (DA), clinical ketosis (CK), or metritis (MET).

description: We computed vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra for a test set of six chiral compounds using two standard density-functionals and an array of basis sets. We analysed the performance of property-oriented basis sets using a quadruple-zeta basis as a reference against four key metrics. We find little qualitative difference between the spectra produced by the larger basis sets (ORP, LPolX, aug-cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVQZ), though their quantitative metrics exhibit wide variations. The smaller basis sets (rDPS, augD-3-21G, augT3-3-21G, Sadlej-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVDZ) performed better for VCD rotatory strengths than for the corresponding ROA circular intensity differences (CIDs). However, this trend diminishes as the basis-set size is increased, lending validity to the conclusion that more robust property-oriented basis sets are required for ROA spectral generation than that of VCD. We observed improved performance in the mid-infrared region compared to the high-frequency regime, as well as overestimation of VCD rotatory strengths in the latter region as compared to the reference. We conclude that the ORP and LPol-ds basis sets are the most efficient and effective choices of basis set for the prediction of VCD and ROA spectra, as they provide both highly accurate results at reduced computational expense.

description: In the framework of a multiscale modeling approach, we present a systematic study of a bipolar rectifying nanopore using a continuum and a particle simulation method. The common ground in the two methods is the application of the Nernst-Planck (NP) equation to compute ion transport in the framework of the implicit-water electrolyte model. The difference is that the Poisson-Boltzmann theory is used in the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) approach, while the Local Equilibrium Monte Carlo (LEMC) method is used in the particle simulation approach (NP+LEMC) to relate the concentration profile to the electrochemical potential profile. Since we consider a bipolar pore which is short and narrow, we perform simulations using two-dimensional PNP. In addition, results of a non-linear version of PNP that takes crowding of ions into account are shown. We observe that the mean field approximation applied in PNP is appropriate to reproduce the basic behavior of the bipolar nanopore (e.g., rectification) for varying parameters of the system (voltage, surface charge, electrolyte concentration, and pore radius). We present current data that characterize the nanopore's behavior as a device, as well as concentration, electrical potential, and electrochemical potential profiles.

description: Cows are social animals and as such are highly susceptible to social interactions and hierarchical order. Situations of limited space or access to feed and frequent regrouping during the prepartum period are expected to exacerbate aggressive and submissive behaviors. In studies conducted with a small number of cows per pen, cows had reduced feeding time, greater rate of displacement from the feed bunk and stalls, and reduced milk yield up to three to 14 days after regrouping. Therefore, weekly regrouping of prepartum dairy cows is expected to result in exposure of these cows to a continuous state of social unrest and stress during the most critical time of their lives. This abstract discusses results from a study in a commercial dairy that evaluated an 'All-In-All-Out' (AIAO) approach to regrouping prepartum cows.

description: We provide the first information on diffeotopy groups of exotic smoothings of R^4: For each of uncountably many smoothings, there are uncountably many isotopy classes of self-diffeomorphisms. We realize these by various explicit group actions. There are also actions at infinity by nonfinitely generated groups, for which no nontrivial element extends over the whole manifold. In contrast, every diffeomorphism of the end of the universal R^4 extends. Our techniques apply to many other open 4-manifolds, and are related to cork theory. We show that under broad hypotheses, cork twisting is equivalent (up to blowups) to twisting on an exotic R^4, and give applications.

Generalizations and applications to the geometry of such surfaces are described.

The spectrum of the many-body stochastic matrix defining the time propagation is found to separate into sets, which we call orbitals, and the eigenvalues in each orbital are found to obey a distinct set of Bethe-like equations. We construct the decay modes in the first orbital (containing the leading decay mode) in terms of an exact inhomogeneous matrix product ansatz, study the thermodynamic properties of the spectrum and the scaling of its gap, and provide a conjecture for the Bethe-like equations for all the orbitals and their degeneracy.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ICES biological effects monitoring in pelagic ecosystems (BECPELAG) workshop is a multi-national, multi-disciplinary workshop aimed at establishing suitable techniques for monitoring the effects of contaminants on pelagic ecosystems. In one initiative, cages containing cod were deployed at four stations on a contaminant gradient in the German Bight and at three stations in the vicinity of an oil field in the North Sea plus a reference area. Six weeks later, the cod were retrieved and blood samples taken for measurement of vitellogenin. The presence of this protein in the blood of male (or immature female) cod would be an indication that the fish had been exposed to estrogenic compounds. This paper describes the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for cod vitellogenin using a freeze-dried preparation of lipovitellin from heat-treated ovaries. This preparation was found to be stable from assay to assay and yielded antibody displacement curves that were parallel to plasma samples. Only very low amounts of vitellogenin were found in the plasma of the caged cod. In males that were caged close to the oil platform, vitellogenin levels were significantly higher (240 ng/ml) than those at the control site (50 ng/ml). However, it must be pointed out that both values are < 0.001% of the maximum concentration of vitellogenin found in fully mature female cod (ca. 50 mg/ml) and many individual values lay close to or below the limits of detection of the assay (10-20 ng/ml).

description: We demonstrate from a fundamental perspective the physical and mathematical origins of band warping and band non-parabolicity in electronic and vibrational structures. Remarkably, we find a robust presence and connection with pairs of topologically induced Dirac points in a primitive-rectangular lattice using a $p$-type tight-binding approximation. We provide a transparent analysis of two-dimensional primitive-rectangular and square Bravais lattices whose basic implications generalize to more complex structures. Band warping typically arises at the onset of a singular transition to a crystal lattice with a larger symmetry group, suddenly allowing the possibility of irreducible representations of higher dimensions at special symmetry points in reciprocal space. Band non-parabolicities are altogether different higher-order features, although they may merge into band warping at the onset of a larger symmetry group. Quite separately, although still maintaining a clear connection with that merging, band non-parabolicities may produce pairs of conical intersections at relatively low-symmetry points. Apparently, such conical intersections are robustly maintained by global topology requirements, rather than any local symmetry protection. For two $p$-type tight-binding bands, we find such pairs of conical intersections drifting along the edges of restricted Brillouin zones of primitive-rectangular Bravais lattices as lattice constants vary relatively, until they merge into degenerate warped bands at high-symmetry points at the onset of a square lattice. The conical intersections that we found appear to have similar topological characteristics as Dirac points extensively studied in graphene and other topological insulators, although our conical intersections have none of the symmetry complexity and protection afforded by the latter more complex structures.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ICES biological effects monitoring in pelagic ecosystems (BECPELAG) workshop is a multi-national, multi-disciplinary workshop aimed at establishing suitable techniques for monitoring the effects of contaminants on pelagic ecosystems. Fish larvae, blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and cod (Gadus morhua) were evaluated for the presence of histological changes indicative of contaminant exposure. Fixed and sectioned specimens were examined for the presence of infectious diseases and for parasites, in addition to any morphological and toxicopathic tissue changes. Caged cod specimens displayed a number of pathologies with putative toxicopathic aetiology. Most significantly, changes in the histological appearance of the gonads of both male and female fish indicated a potential effect of contaminants on the caged cod. In this case, use of the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay allowed for the detection of apoptotic degeneration of spermatogonial and oogonial germ cells. Caged mussels displayed an array of pathologies indicative of contaminant exposure. Mussels deployed in close proximity to oil platforms displayed a higher prevalence of lysosomal abnormality in the epithelial cells of their digestive glands than did those deployed at reference locations. Furthermore, mussels from these sites appeared to show a higher prevalence of oocytic atresia than reference animals. Significantly, a number of mussels surveyed during the current study showed neoplastic changes associated with their connective tissues (disseminated neoplasia) and in one case, the testicular follicles (germinoma). The significance of these pathological findings in cod and mussels are discussed in relation to their use as environmental sentinels for future biological effects monitoring studies, particularly in relation to contaminant exposure in the proximity of oil platforms.

description: This work deals with models described by three real scalar fields in one spatial dimension. We study the case where two of the three fields engender kinematical modifications, which respond as geometrical constrictions, that can be used to change the center and/or the tails of the kinklike configurations. An important advantage of our procedure is the construction of a method for the obtention of first-order differential equations that solve the equations of motion and give rise to stable localized structures. We illustrate the general procedure investigating several distinct examples, and suggesting some possibilities of applications of practical use, in particular, to the case of domain walls and skyrmions in magnetic material, collisions of kinks and to deal with braneworld scenarios having a warped five-dimensional anti de Sitter geometry, with a single extra dimension of infinite extent.

description: We investigate the relative stability of increasingly large helicenes at the CCSD(T) level via the high-level G4(MP2) thermochemical protocol. The relative energies of [n]helicenes (n = 4–9) are obtained via the following reaction: [n]helicene + benzene → [n + 1]helicene + ethene. This reaction conserves the number of sp2-hybridized carbons, the number of aromatic rings, and the helical structures on the two sides of the reaction. We show that the reaction energy converges to an asymptotic value of ΔH298 =  + 22.4 kJ/mol for increasingly large helicenes. For comparison, for [n]acenes, the same reaction converges to a much higher asymptotic reaction enthalpy of ΔH298 =  + 56.8 kJ/mol. This difference between the two asymptotic reaction enthalpies sheds light on the relative thermodynamic stability of increasingly large helicenes. We proceed to use the G4(MP2) reaction energies to evaluate the performance of dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical molecular orbital (SMO) methods for the relative energies of [n]helicenes. Nearly all DFT methods perform poorly with root-mean-square deviations (RMSDs) above 10 kJ/mol. The best-performing DFT method, BLYP-D4, attains an RMSD = 5.2 kJ/mol. Surprisingly, the advanced SMO methods, XTB and PM7, outperform the DFT methods and result in RMSDs of 3.0 and 3.1 kJ/mol, respectively.

description: Pasteurization of waste milk fed to calves is increasingly common. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate milk bacteria counts as time passed following on-farm pasteurization and identify potential differences in bacteria counts over time between seasons and the associated ambient temperatures. A secondary objective was to evaluate, by season, the time after pasteurization until milk bacteria counts became > 20,000 cfu/mL, which has been suggested as an industry-standard upper limit for feeding milk to calves.

description: What happens to the most general closed oscillating universes in general relativity? We sketch the development of interest in cyclic universes from the early work of Friedmann and Tolman to modern variations introduced by the presence of a cosmological constant. Then we show what happens in the cyclic evolution of the most general closed anisotropic universes provided by the Mixmaster universe. We show that in the presence of entropy increase its cycles grow in size and age, increasingly approaching flatness. But these cycles also grow increasingly anisotropic at their expansion maxima. If there is a positive cosmological constant, or dark energy, present then these oscillations always end and the last cycle evolves from an anisotropic inflexion point towards a de Sitter future of everlasting expansion.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ICES Working Group on the Biological Effects of Contaminants (WGBEC) organised a workshop on Biological Effects of Contaminants in Pelagic Ecosystems (BECPELAG) to study the effects of contaminants on pelagic marine organisms using established monitoring techniques, and to promote new methods. A field survey, carried out in March 2001, covered two areas of known contaminant input. Transects were worked in the German Bight and in the vicinity of the Statfjord oilfield; indicative of coastal and offshore contaminant sources, respectively. In each of these two areas, three of the four stations were located at increasing distances from the contaminant source.

description: A key goal of the Stage IV dark energy experiments Euclid, LSST and WFIRST is to measure the growth of structure with cosmic time from weak lensing analysis over large regions of the sky. Weak lensing cosmology will be challenging: in addition to highly accurate galaxy shape measurements, statistically robust and accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates for billions of faint galaxies will be needed in order to reconstruct the three-dimensional matter distribution. Here we present an overview of and initial results from the Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey, designed specifically to calibrate the empirical galaxy color-redshift relation to the Euclid depth. These redshifts will also be important for the calibrations of LSST and WFIRST. The C3R2 survey is obtaining multiplexed observations with Keck (DEIMOS, LRIS, and MOSFIRE), the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC; OSIRIS), and the Very Large Telescope (VLT; FORS2 and KMOS) of a targeted sample of galaxies most important for the redshift calibration. We focus spectroscopic efforts on under-sampled regions of galaxy color space identified in previous work in order to minimize the number of spectroscopic redshifts needed to map the color-redshift relation to the required accuracy. Here we present the C3R2 survey strategy and initial results, including the 1283 high confidence redshifts obtained in the 2016A semester and released as Data Release 1.

description: Lameness negatively affects the well-being and economic productivity of beef and dairy cattle. It has been reported that the prevalence of lameness in dairy herds is nearly 20% for primiparous cows and almost 50% for multiparous cows. Hence, evaluation, development, and implementation of better management protocols are necessary to produce replacements which have healthy functional feet able to withstand the rigors of the industry. The focus of this study was to evaluate whether the honey structures in calves' feet will remodel and develop when exposed to rocky terrain.
