description: Masicera achanthophora Rondani, 1861
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1861e: 19 (key), 28 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Corsica [Corsica (France)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, holotype (missing right fore-leg) (MZUF: Box 15): Masicera Macq. / achanthophora Rnd. / 755 / holotype Masicera acanthophora Rnd., B. Herting det.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Bithia acanthophora [sic!] (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 338, Cerretti 2010: 395); valid species, as Bithia acanthophora [sic!] (O’Hara et al. 2020: 680).
REMARKS: Rondani (1861e: 28) described Masicera achanthophora from a single male: “ Marem unicum possiedo [I have a single male]” received from M. Spinola, treating it within the subgenus Ceromasia, which is now considered as a valid genus (O’Hara et al. 2011: 50). The subsequent spelling “ acanthophora ” has been used (Philip 1965a: 121, Fairchild 1971: 74, Coscarón & Papavero 2009: 90) but it is not in prevailing usage (Hunter 1901: 142, Kertész 1908: 265, O’Hara et al. 2011: 212). Bezzi & Stein (1907: 289), Herting (1969: 189), Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 338), Cerretti (2010: 395), and O’Hara et al. (2020: 680) used the spelling “ acanthophora ”; Brauer & Bergenstamm (1892: 316) and O’Hara et al. (2011: 50, 216) used the correct spelling “ achanthophora ”. The spelling “ acanthophora ” is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Herting (1969: 189) reported a single male in the MZUF.

description: Using the delta-shell representation we present a successful fit to neutron-proton and proton-proton scattering data below pion production threshold. A detailed overview of the theory necessary to calculate observables with this potential is presented. A new data selection process is used to obtain the largest mutually consistent data base. The analysis includes data within the years 1950 to 2013. Using 46 parameters we obtain chi^2/Ndata = 1.04 with Ndata = 6713 including normalization data. Phase shifts with error bars are provided.

description: We allow a scalar field on a flat FLRW background metric to tunnel between two degenerate vacua. The resulting true vacuum state then violates the Null Energy Condition, and the corresponding homogeneous fluid induces a bounce, after which it has a phantom-like equation of state and asymptotically leads to a de Sitter phase. The mechanism presented here requires no exotic matter or modified gravity, it is purely generated by quantum fluctuations and is valid for a generic double well potential.

Solid accretion onto planetary cores in radiative disks
Creators: name: Zormpas, Apostolos
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The solid accretion rate, which is necessary to grow gas giant planetary cores within the disk lifetime, has been a major constraint for theories of planet formation. We measured the solid accretion rate efficiency on planetary cores of different masses embedded in their birth disk by means of 3D radiation-hydrodynamics, where we followed the evolution of a swarm of embedded solids of different sizes. We found that by using a realistic equation of state and radiative cooling, the disk at 5 au is able to efficiently cool and reduce its aspect ratio. As a result, the pebble isolation mass is reached before the core grows to 10 Earth masses, thus fully stopping the pebble flux and creating a transition disk. Moreover, the reduced isolation mass halts the solid accretion before the core reaches the critical mass, leading to a barrier to giant planet formation, and this explains the large abundance of super-Earth planets in the observed population.

description: A very simple production mechanism of feebly interacting dark matter (DM) that rarely annihilates is thermal production, which predicts the DM mass around eV. This has been widely known as the hot DM scenario. Despite there are several observational hints from background lights suggesting a DM in this mass range, the hot DM scenario has been considered strongly in tension with the structure formation of our Universe because the free-streaming length of the DM produced from thermal reactions was thought to be too long. In this paper, I show that the previous conclusions are not always true depending on the reaction for bosonic DM because of the Bose-enhanced reaction at very low momentum. By using the simple $1\leftrightarrow 2$ decay/inverse decay process to produce the DM, I demonstrate that the eV range bosonic DM can be thermally produced $coldly$ from a hot plasma by performing a model-independent analysis applicable to axion, hidden photon, and other bosonic DM candidates. Therefore, the bosonic DM in the eV mass range may still be special and theoretically well-motivated.

description: We show that a non-wandering dynamical system with the shadowing property is either equicontinuous or has positive entropy and that in this context uniformly positive entropy is equivalent to weak mixing. We also show that weak mixing together with the shadowing property imply the specification property with a special kind of regularity in tracing (a weaker version of periodic specification property). This in turn implies that the set of ergodic measures supported on the closures of orbits of regularly recurrent points is dense in the space of all invariant measures (in particular, invariant measures in such a system form the Poulsen simplex, up to an affine homeomorphism).

description: Block encoding lies at the core of many existing quantum algorithms. Meanwhile, efficient and explicit block encodings of dense operators are commonly acknowledged as a challenging problem. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the block encoding of a rich family of dense operators: the pseudo-differential operators (PDOs). First, a block encoding scheme for generic PDOs is developed. Then we propose a more efficient scheme for PDOs with a separable structure. Finally, we demonstrate an explicit and efficient block encoding algorithm for PDOs with a dimension-wise fully separable structure. Complexity analysis is provided for all block encoding algorithms presented. The application of theoretical results is illustrated with worked examples, including the representation of variable coefficient elliptic operators and the computation of the inverse of elliptic operators without invoking quantum linear system algorithms (QLSAs).

This Hamiltonian describes the motion of charged particles in strong magnetic fields. Laser-assisted tunneling processes are characterized by studying the expansion of the atoms in the lattice. The band structure of this Hamiltonian should display Hofstadter's butterfly. For fermions, this scheme should realize the quantum Hall effect and chiral edge states.

Star Cluster Formation from Turbulent Clumps. III. Across the mass spectrum

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the formation and early evolution of star clusters that have a wide range of masses and background cloud mass surface densities, $Σ_{\rm cloud}$, which help set the initial sizes, densities, and velocity dispersions of the natal gas clumps. Initial clump masses of 300, $3,000$ and $30,000$ $M_\odot$ are considered, from which star clusters are born with an assumed 50% overall star formation efficiency and with 50% primordial binarity. This formation is gradual, i.e., with a range of star formation efficiencies per free-fall time from 1% to 100%, so that the formation time can range from 0.7 Myr for low-mass, high-$Σ_{\rm cloud}$ clumps to $\sim30$ Myr for high-mass, low-$Σ_{\rm cloud}$ clumps. Within this framework of the Turbulent Clump model, for a given $Σ_{\rm cloud}$, clumps of higher mass are of lower initial volume density, but their dynamical evolution leads to higher bound fractions and causes them to form much higher density cluster cores and maintain these densities for longer periods. This results in systematic differences in the evolution of binary properties, degrees of mass segregation and rates of creation of dynamically ejected runaways. We discuss the implications of these results for observed star clusters and stellar populations.

description: We formulate exact generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator coupled to multiple harmonic baths. Each of the different baths is prepared in its own individual (in general nonthermal) state. Starting from the exact solution for the oscillator dynamics we study fluctuations of the oscillator position as well as of the energy current through the oscillator under general nonequilibrium conditions. In particular, we formulate a fluctuation-dissipation relation for the oscillator position autocorrelation function that generalizes the standard result for the case of a single bath at thermal equilibrium. Moreover, we show that the generating function for the position operator fullfills a generalized Gallavotti-Cohen-like relation. For the energy transfer through the oscillator, we determine the average energy current together with the current fluctuations. Finally, we discuss the generalization of the cumulant generating function for the energy transfer to nonthermal bath preparations.

description: The formation of Ni(Pt)silicides on a Si(001) surface is investigated using an ab initio approach. After deposition of a Ni overlayer alloyed with Pt, the calculations reveal fast diffusion of Ni atoms into the Si lattice, which leads initially to the formation of Ni2Si. At the same time Si atoms are found to diffuse into the metallic overlayer. The transformation of Ni2Si into NiSi is likely to proceed via a vacancy-assisted diffusion mechanism. Silicon atoms are the main diffusing species in this transformation, migrating from the Si substrate through the growing NiSi layer into the Ni2Si. Pt atoms have a low solubility in Ni2Si and prefer Si-sites in the NiSi lattice, thereby stabilizing the NiSi phase. The diffusivity of Pt is lower than that of Ni. Furthermore, Pt atoms have a tendency to segregate to interfaces, thereby acting as diffusion barriers.

description: The associate $J/ψ+γ$ production at the LHC is studied completely at next-to-leading-order (NLO) within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD. By using three sets of color-octet long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) obtained in previous prompt $J/ψ$ studies, we find that only one of them can result in a positive transverse momentum ($p_t$) distribution of $J/ψ$ production rate at large $p_t$ region. Based on reasonable consideration to cut down background, our estimation is measurable upto $p_t=50$GeV with present data sample collected at $8$TeV LHC. All the color-octet LDMEs in $J/ψ$ production could be fixed sensitively by including this proposed measurement and our calculation, and then confident conclusion on $J/ψ$ polarization puzzle could be achieved.

description: A study of two-pion scattering for the isospin channels, $I=0$ and $I=2$, using lattice QCD is presented. Möbius domain wall fermions on top of the Iwasaki-DSDR gauge action for gluons with periodic boundary conditions are used for the lattice computations which are carried out on two ensembles of gauge field configurations generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations with physical masses, inverse lattice spacings of 1.023 and 1.378 GeV, and spatial extents of $L=4.63$ and 4.58 fm, respectively. The all-to-all propagator method is employed to compute a matrix of correlation functions of two-pion operators. The generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP) is solved for a matrix of correlation functions to extract phase shifts with multiple states, two pions with a non-zero relative momentum as well as two pions at rest. Our results for phase shifts for both $I=0$ and $I=2$ channels are consistent with and the Roy Equation and chiral perturbation theory, though at this preliminary stage our errors for $I=0$ are large. An important outcome of this work is that we are successful in extracting two-pion excited states, which are useful for studying $K\toππ$ decay, on physical-mass ensembles using GEVP.

Climatic changes

description: The ratio of unsupported protactinium-231 to thorium-230 in marine sediments, (Pa/Th)xs, is potentially sensitive to several processes of oceanographic and climatological interest: deep ocean circulation, marine biological productivity (as it relates to total particle flux) and particle composition (specifically, biogenic opal and authigenic Mn). In order to attribute variations in (Pa/Th)xs observed in sediment records to changes in specific processes through time, a better understanding of the chemical cycling of these elements in the modern ocean is necessary. To this end, a survey was undertaken of (Pa/Th)xs in surface sediments from the subarctic Pacific (SO202-INOPEX expedition) in combination with a Pacific-wide compilation of published data. Throughout the Pacific, (Pa/Th)xs is robustly correlated with the opal content of sediments. In the North and equatorial Pacific, simultaneous positive correlations with productivity indicators suggest that boundary scavenging and opal scavenging combine to enhance the removal of Pa in the eastern equatorial Pacific and subarctic Pacific. Deep ocean water mass ageing (>3.5 km) associated with the Pacific overturning appears to play a secondary role in determining the basin scale distribution of (Pa/Th)xs. A basin-wide extrapolation of Pa removal is performed which suggests that the Pacific Pa budget is nearly in balance. We hypothesize that through time (Pa/Th)xs distributions in the Pacific could define the evolving boundaries of contrasting biogeographic provinces in the North Pacific, while the influence of hydrothermal scavenging of Pa potentially confounds this approach in the South Pacific.

description: We use the state-of-the-art data on cosmic chronometers (CCH) and the Pantheon+ compilation of supernovae of Type Ia (SNIa) to test the constancy of the SNIa absolute magnitude, $M$, and the robustness of the cosmological principle (CP) at $z\lesssim 2$ with a model-agnostic approach. We do so by reconstructing $M(z)$ and the curvature parameter $Ω_{k}(z)$ using Gaussian Processes. Moreover, we use CCH in combination with data on baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) from various galaxy surveys (6dFGS, BOSS, eBOSS, WiggleZ, DES Y3) to measure the sound horizon at the baryon-drag epoch, $r_d$, from each BAO data point and check their consistency. Given the precision allowed by the CCH, we find that $M(z)$, $Ω_k(z)$ and $r_d(z)$ are fully compatible (at $<68\%$ C.L.) with constant values. This justifies our final analyses, in which we put constraints on these constant parameters under the validity of the CP, the metric description of gravity and standard physics in the vicinity of the stellar objects, but otherwise in a model-independent way. If we exclude the SNIa contained in the host galaxies employed by SH0ES, our results read $M=(-19.314^{+0.086}_{-0.108})$ mag, $r_d=(142.3\pm 5.3)$ Mpc and $Ω_k=-0.07^{+0.12}_{-0.15}$, with $H_0=(71.5\pm 3.1)$ km/s/Mpc ($68\%$ C.L.). These values are independent from the main data sets involved in the $H_0$ tension, namely, the cosmic microwave background and the first two rungs of the cosmic distance ladder. If, instead, we also consider the SNIa in the host galaxies, calibrated with Cepheids, we measure $M=(-19.252^{+0.024}_{-0.036})$ mag, $r_d=(141.9^{+5.6}_{-4.9})$ Mpc, $Ω_k=-0.10^{+0.12}_{-0.15}$ and $H_0=(74.0^{+0.9}_{-1.0})$ km/s/Mpc.

description: Plant or soil water status are required in many scientific fields to understand plant responses to drought. Because the transcriptomic response to abiotic conditions, such as water deficit, reflects plant water status, genomic tools could be used to develop a new type of molecular biomarker. Using the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) as a model species to study the transcriptomic response to water deficit both in greenhouse and field conditions, we specifically identified three genes that showed an expression pattern highly correlated to plant water status as estimated by the pre-dawn leaf water potential, fraction of transpirable soil water, soil water content or fraction of total soil water in controlled conditions. We developed a generalized linear model to estimate these classical water status indicators from the expression levels of the three selected genes under controlled conditions. This estimation was independent of the four tested genotypes and the stage (pre- or post-flowering) of the plant. We further validated this gene expression biomarker under field conditions for four genotypes in three different trials, over a large range of water status, and we were able to correct their expression values for a large diurnal sampling period.

description: In this study we investigate the effect of random point disorder on the surface states of a topological insulator with out-of-plane magnetization. We consider the disorder within a high order Born approximation. The Born series converges to the one branch of the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) solution at low disorder. As the disorder strength increases, the Born series converges to another SCBA solution with the finite density of states within the magnetization induced gap. Further increase of the disorder strength leads to a divergence of the Born series, showing the limits of the applicability of the Born approximation. We find that the convergence properties of this Born series are closely related to the properties of the logistic map, which is known as a prototypical model of chaos. We also calculate the longitudinal and Hall conductivities within the Kubo formulas at zero temperature with the vertex corrections for the velocity operator. Vertex corrections are important for describing transport properties in the strong disorder regime. In the case of strong disorder, the longitudinal conductivity is weakly dependent on the disorder strength, while the Hall conductivity decreases with increasing disorder.

description: Dust can play an important role in shaping the X-ray spectra and images of astrophysical sources. In this work we report on the implementation of dust in the ray-tracing platform RefleX. We illustrate the different effects associated to the interaction between X-ray photons and dust grains, such as dust scattering, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structures and shielding. We show how the cross-sections of the photon-gas interaction change depending on the fraction of metals in dust grains (i.e. the dust depletion factor). We compare RefleX simulations to the most widely-used absorption model that includes dust, and show how X-ray spectra are affected by the presence of dust in the absorbing/reprocessing medium for different geometries. We also show how RefleX can be used to reproduce the dust scattering halos observed in Galactic sources, and release the first torus X-ray spectral model that considers dust absorption and scattering (RXTorusD), to reproduce the spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN). RXTorusD also considers other physical process that are not included in the most widely-used AGN torus models, such as Rayleigh scattering and scattering on molecular gas, which can lead to remarkable differences in the predicted X-ray spectra for the same set of geometrical and physical parameters.

description: Sintesi in lingua italiana ? Parte prima Nei pazienti con BPCO, le riacutizzazioni sono una frequente causa di accesso in pronto soccorso e possono condizionarne negativamente la prognosi. Obiettivi dello studio erano: 1) descrivere le caratteristiche socio-demografiche e cliniche, nonch� la gestione in pronto soccorso dei pazienti con riacutizzazione di bronco-pneumopatia ostruttiva cronica (BPCO); 2) stimarne i costi. Abbiamo condotto uno studio di coorte retrospettivo in Italia, raccogliendo dati su 4,396 pazienti da 34 centri. I pazienti avevano un?et� media (deviazione standard [DS]) di 77 (11) anni, ed erano femmine nel 39% dei casi. Oltre il 70% dei pazienti presentava un indice di comorbidit� moderato o severo, e nel 26% dei casi era presenta anche una diagnosi di scompenso cardiaco. Il 65% dei pazienti � stato ospedalizzato, per una durata media (DS) di 11 (10) giorni. Il costo stimato per paziente � 2.617 ?. In conclusione, I pazienti che afferiscono in pronto soccorso con una riacutizzazione di BPCO sono anziani e gravate da importanti comorbidit�. Il tasso di ricovero in questi pazienti � alto, e i costi onerosi. Sintesi in lingua italiana ? Parte seconda Le riacutizzazioni di BPCO esitano frequentemente in ospedalizzazione, possono richiedere il trattamento con ventilazione invasiva e sono associate a elevata mortalit� intraospedaliera. Il BAP-65 � modello di predizione del rischio di eventi avversi per pazienti con riacutizzazione di BPCO. Il BAP-65 � semplice da utilizzare e, se la sua accuratezza prognostica fosse confermata, potrebbe essere utilizzato per guidare la gestione dei pazienti. Abbiamo condotto uno studio retrospettivo, multicentrico in pazienti che afferivano in pronto soccorso per una riacutizzazione di BPCO durante il 2014. Lo scopo dello studio era validare il modello BAP-65 per la predizione dell?outcome combinato mortalit� intraospedaliera e ricorso alla ventilazione invasiva. Abbiamo arruolato 2.908 pazienti da 20 centri Italiani. L?et� media (DS) era 76 (11) anni, e il 38% dei pazienti era femmina. L?outcome combinato si � verificato nel 5% dei pazienti. L?area sotto la curva (AUROC) stimata per l?outcome combinato � risultata pari a 0,64 (95%CI 0,59-0,68). Un punteggio BAP-65 ? 4 ha mostrato una sensibilit� pari a 44% (95% CI 34%-55%) nel predire la mortalit� intraospedaliera, con specificit� 84% (95% CI 82%-85%), valore predittivo positivo 9% (95% CI 6%-12%) e valore predittivo negativo 98% (95% CI 97%-98%). In conclusione, il modello BAP-65 non ha dimostrato accuratezza sufficiente per un?efficacie stratificazione del rischio di prognosi infausta nella popolazione studiata.

description: Our study's concern is about how to enlarge the scope of the virtual museum concept from the mediation activities as they are carried out in today's digital planetariums to training activities dedicated to the public. We assume that these educational and cultural tools must be regarded as real immersive virtual environments and therefore can provide visitors with a new technological framing directly connected with a scientific field in the making, cosmography, in its production environment. One of our goals is to make visitors construct their own knowledge based directly on ongoing research data.

Twisted indices, Bethe ideals and 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ infrared dualities

description: We study the topologically twisted index of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories with unitary gauge groups. We implement a Gröbner basis algorithm for computing the $Σ_g\times S^1$ index explicitly and exactly in terms of the associated Bethe ideal, which is defined as the algebraic ideal associated with the Bethe equations of the corresponding 3d $A$-model. We then revisit recently discovered infrared dualities for unitary SQCD with gauge group $U(N_c)_{k, k +l N_c}$ with $l\neq 0$, namely the Nii duality that generalises the Giveon-Kutasov duality, the Amariti-Rota duality that generalises the Aharony duality, and their further generalisations in the case of arbitrary numbers of fundamental and antifundamental chiral multiplets. In particular, we determine all the flavour Chern-Simons contact terms needed to make these dualities work. This allows us to check that the twisted indices of dual theories match exactly. We also initiate the study of the Witten index of unitary SQCD with $l\neq 0$.

description: The present study focuses on the collective right of national, ethnic, racial, and religious groups to exist, as this right is recognized and guaranteed by the Genocide Convention. It explores the typology of the right to exist. It describes the normative history of the collective right and engages critically with the prevailing interpretations of its constitutive elements. Then, it presents the way in which the collective right to exist is introduced into the structure of genocide and other genocidal offenses qua endangerment crimes. Finally, it analyzes the typologies of victimhood accommodated by the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It suggests an alternative way to remedy collective victimhood stemming from the violation of the right to exist.

Masicera juvenilis

description: Masicera juvenilis Rondani, 1861
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1861e: 18 (key), 25 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus agri parmensi, et in planitiae [Parmese hills and plains (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (missing left mid- and hind-legs), 2 ♀♀, syntypes (one missing left mid-leg) (MZUF: Box 14): Masicera Macq. / iuvenilis Rnd. / 748.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Lydella grisescens Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 204).
REMARKS: Rondani (1861e: 25) described both sexes of Masicera juvenilis without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ Uterque sexus inventus [Collected both sexes]”, treating it within the subgenus Ceromasia Rondani, 1856, which is now considered as a valid genus (O’Hara et al. 2011: 50). We found three syntypes in this study. This nominal species was described as “ iuvenilis ”. The spelling “ iuvenilis ” was also used by O’Hara et al. (2011: 210) but other authors (Brauer-Bergenstamm 1891: 316, Meade 1892b: 129, Girschner 1899: 184, Bezzi & Stein 1907: 790, Herting 1984: 51, Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 204, Evenhuis & Pape 2020) spelled the name as “ juvenilis ”. The spelling “ juvenilis ” is in prevailing usage, and thus considered as correct (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 33.3.1).

description: Magnetic skyrmions can be created and annihilated in ferromagnetic multilayers using single femtosecond infrared laser pulses above a material-dependent fluence threshold. From the perspective of applications, optical control of skyrmions offers a route to a faster and, potentially, more energy-efficient new class of information-technology devices. Here, we investigate laser-induced skyrmion generation in two different materials, mapping out the dependence of the process on the applied field and the laser fluence. We observe that sample properties like strength of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and pinning do not considerably influence the initial step of optical creation. In contrast, the number of skyrmions created can be directly and robustly controlled via the applied field and the laser fluence. Based on our findings, we propose concepts for applications, such as all-optical writing and deletion, an ultrafast skyrmion reshuffling device for probabilistic computing, and a combined optical and spin–orbit torque-controlled racetrack.
Roles of fast neutrino-flavor conversion on the neutrino-heating mechanism of core-collapse supernova

description: One of the greatest uncertainties in any modeling of inner engine of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is neutrino flavor conversions driven by neutrino self-interactions. We carry out large-scale numerical simulations of multi-energy, multi-angle, three-flavor framework, and general relativistic quantum kinetic neutrino transport in spherical symmetry with an essential set of neutrino-matter interactions under a realistic fluid profile of CCSN. Our result suggests that the neutrino heating in the gain region is reduced by $\sim 40\%$ due to fast neutrino-flavor conversion (FFC). We also find that the total luminosity of neutrinos is enhanced by $\sim 30 \%$, for which the substantial increase of heavy-leptonic neutrinos by FFCs are mainly responsible. This study provides evidence that FFC has a significant impact on the delayed neutrino-heating mechanism.

description: This is the story of the formative years – the decade of the 1950s – of paleomagnetism as a scientific discipline in conjunction with a focus on the big questions of the day – the origin of the geomagnetic field, polar wander, continental mobility. The exposition is meticulously documented with referral to primary published literature and enlivened by extensive referral to real-time correspondence and retrospective views based on the author’s interviews and written exchanges with many of the principals dating back to the early 1980s. Some of the themes that emerge from the account is the everimportance of serendipidity and the ability of top scientists to identify tractable aspects of a big problem, adjust the scope and direction of the research as needed, and recognize applications to seemingly oblique problems.
The depinning transition in presence of disorder: a toy model
Creators: name: Derrida, Bernard
name: Retaux, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce a toy model, which represents a simplified version of the problem of the depinning transition in the limit of strong disorder. This toy model can be formulated as a simple renormalization transformation for the probability distribution of a single real variable. For this toy model, {the critical line is known exactly in one particular case} and it can be calculated perturbatively in the general case. One can also show that, at the transition, there is no strong disorder fixed distribution accessible by renormalization. Instead, both our numerical and analytic approaches indicate a transition of infinite order (of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type). We give numerical evidence that this infinite order transition persists for the problem of the depinning transition with disorder on the hierarchical lattice.
What lies beyond Exo-Jupiters? A High Resolution study of q¹ Eridani
Creators: name: Lovell, Joshua
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: ALMA Band 6 and 7 observations of the >1Gyr F9V star q1 Eri (HD10647, HR506) are presented, a system with a known ~2 au radial velocity planet and debris disk. These resolved images detect the broad debris disk, inclined by ~76deg to the plane of the sky with a maximum brightness at ~82 au. The emission is asymmetric; the flux is higher in the SW than the NE and the star is closer to the SW ansa. HST data are also presented which show that the scattered light is more radially extended in the NE. With modelling, we show the SW ansa asymmetry is broadly consistent with an extended clump on the inner edge of the disk. We assess the inner edge and clump as consistent with perturbations from an inner planet. If the modelled vertical aspect ratio is due to dynamical interactions in the disk, we constrain the size of perturbers and find these to be consistent with the lower limit on the maximum planetesimal size, estimated from the collisional lifetime of bodies in the disk.

description: Climate change adaptation has shifted from a single-dimension to an integrative approach that aligns with vulnerability and resilience concepts. Adaptation planning, correspondingly, is guided by three frameworks categorized as the hazard-based, the vulnerability-based, and the urban resilience framework. Exploring in which ways these frameworks affect the proposed adaptation initiatives is crucial for planners to justify the well-fit approach for adaptation planning. This study seeks to examine the influence of these theoretical frameworks on the formulation of adaptation initiatives with a sample of 45 coastal cities in developing countries. The vulnerability framework is found to tackle the issues of climate change sufficiently while the hazard-based approach shares resources for both climate change and other matters, and the urban resilience framework puts more effort into other issues rather than climate change. From these findings, the study offers implications for adaptation planning in applying each of these three frameworks.
