description: The dynamics of localized excitations in array of Bose-Einstein condensates is investigated in the framework of the nonlinear lattice theory. The existence of temporarily stable ground states displaying an atomic population distributions localized on very few lattice sites (intrinsic localized modes), as well as, of atomic population distributions involving many lattice sites (envelope solitons), is studied both numerically and analytically. The origin and properties of these modes are shown to be inherently connected with the interplay between macroscopic quantum tunnelling and nonlinearity induced self-trapping of atoms in coupled BECs. The phenomenon of Bloch oscillations of these excitations is studied both for zero and non zero backgrounds. We find that in a definite range of parameters, homogeneous distributions can become modulationally unstable. We also show that bright solitons and excitations of shock wave type can exist in BEC arrays even in the case of positive scattering length. Finally, we argue that BEC array with negative scattering length in presence of linear potentials can display collapse.

description: We study the discovery potential of the $cg \to tA\to tZH$ process at the LHC, where $A$ and $H$ are CP-odd and even exotic scalars, respectively. The context is the general Two Higgs Doublet Model, where $cg \to tA$ is induced by the flavor changing neutral Higgs coupling $ρ_{tc}$. We find that the process $cg \to tA\to tZH$ can be discovered for $m_A \sim 400$ GeV, but would likely require high luminosity running of the LHC. Such a discovery would shed light on the mechanism behind the observed Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe. We also study $cg \to tA\to tZh$, where $h$ is the observed 125 GeV scalar, but find it out of reach at the LHC.

description: Laparocerus incomptus (Wollaston, 1865), bon. spec.
 Lichenophagus (Amyntas) incomptus Wollaston 1865, Appendix p 55.
 Type locality. Sabinosa, El Hierro, Canary Islands (UTM 27 R 0785255 3073522). Neotype: 1„ [El Hierro, Islas Canarias /Sabinosa, Pozo de la Salud, 30 m / 23-2-2005, Rumex lunaria / # 4127, leg. A. Machado]. [NEOTIPO/ Lichenophagus incomptus / Wollaston, 1865 (5 Laparocerus)/des. A. Machado, 2005]. TFMC (reg, CO-15502), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Figure 9B).
 Remarks. The description of this species was based on a single female sent to Wollaston by M. de Marseul (Paris) as Canarian, but with no reference to the island of origin or the collector. Following the description there is a footnote (1865, p 56): ‘‘Since the above was written, I have had some reason to suspect that the type from which my diagnosis of the L. incomptus was compiled (but which unfortunately has been returned to Paris, so that I cannot now re-examine it) may possibly have been but a very small and immature (female) specimen of the Atlantis tibialis —slightly aberrant, and perhaps obtained in the island of Hierro’’. He received subsequently a second specimen from Marseul (see 1865, p 328 footnote), and confirmed his supposition. Wollaston knew L. tibialis originally (1864) from Tenerife and La Palma, and later (1865) also from El Hierro, having been collected there by the Messrs Crotch. The synonym has been generally accepted since then, but the case is more complicated. According to molecular data (to be published), the three islands are inhabited by different—although very similar—species. In 2002, the curator Mlle. Hélène Perrin and I were not able to find Wollaston’s holotype in Paris. Thus, I consider it a better solution to establish a neotype from El Hierro. I have abundant specimens from that island and they are indeed of smaller size compared with specimens from Tenerife or La Palma. Moreover, Lichenophagus incomptus is the type species by monotypy of Amyntas Wollaston, 1865, described originally as subgenus of Lichenophagus Wollaston, 1854, and later transferred by Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999) as valid subgenus of Laparocerus.

description: Fast feedback control and safety guarantees are essential in modern robotics. We present an approach that achieves both by combining novel robust model predictive control (MPC) with function approximation via (deep) neural networks (NNs). The result is a new approach for complex tasks with nonlinear, uncertain, and constrained dynamics as are common in robotics. Specifically, we leverage recent results in MPC research to propose a new robust setpoint tracking MPC algorithm, which achieves reliable and safe tracking of a dynamic setpoint while guaranteeing stability and constraint satisfaction. The presented robust MPC scheme constitutes a one-layer approach that unifies the often separated planning and control layers, by directly computing the control command based on a reference and possibly obstacle positions. As a separate contribution, we show how the computation time of the MPC can be drastically reduced by approximating the MPC law with a NN controller. The NN is trained and validated from offline samples of the MPC, yielding statistical guarantees, and used in lieu thereof at run time. Our experiments on a state-of-the-art robot manipulator are the first to show that both the proposed robust and approximate MPC schemes scale to real-world robotic systems.

description: Combining the self-consistent theory of localization and the dynamical mean-field theory, we present a theoretical approach capable of describing both self-trapping of charge carriers during the process of polaron formation and disorder-induced Anderson localization. By constructing random samples for the local density of states (LDOS) we analyze the distribution function for this quantity and demonstrate that the typical rather than the mean LDOS is a natural measure to distinguish between itinerant and localized states. Significant polaron effects on the mobility edge are found.

description: Maize is one of the most important staple foods that is critical to food security and livelihoods of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Although maize is important staple crop for ensuring food security, it cannot ensure nutritional security. To provide and ensure an adequate supply and greater variety of nutritional foods within a farm household, cropping patterns and farming systems must be diversified to include micronutrient-rich vegetables and fruit crops, particularly traditional African species. Vegetables provide nutritional benefits and increase household incomes for smallholders, and are thus an excellent complement to staple crops for addressing food and nutritional security. The objective of this study is to ascertain if an increased diversity of crops in farmers’ fields leads to increased diversified diets or otherwise. This underlying objective is analyzed with a multiple linear regression model from a primary survey of 300 farm households selected from 10 villages in the Babati, Kongwa and Kiteto districts of Tanzania. Results show that farm diversity does not have a positive and significant effect on dietary diversity after controlling for other covariates. However, variables such as households size, level of education, monthly expenditure on food, irrigated area, proportion of vegetables consumed from own household production and control of household income by female decision makers were found to have strong association with dietary diversity.

description: We discuss effects of pairwise aligning interactions in an ensemble of central place foragers or of searchers that are connected to a common home. In a wider sense, we also consider self moving entities that are attracted to a central place such as, for instance, the zooplankton Daphnia being attracted to a beam of light. Single foragers move with constant speed due to some propulsive mechanism. They explore at random loops the space around and return rhytmically to their home. In the ensemble, the direction of the velocity of a searcher is aligned to the motion of its neighbors. At first, we perform simulations of this ensemble and find a cooperative behavior of the entities. Above an over-critical interaction strength the trajectories of the searcher qualitatively changes and searchers start to move along circles around the home position. Thereby, all searchers rotate either clockwise or anticlockwise around the central home position as it was reported for the zooplankton Daphnia. At second, the computational findings are analytically explained by the formulation of transport equations outgoing from the nonlinear mean field Fokker-Planck equation of the considered situation. In the asymptotic stationary limit, we find expressions for the critical interaction strength, the mean radial and orbital velocities of the searchers and their velocity variances. We also obtain the marginal spatial and angular densities in the under-critical regime where the foragers behave like individuals as well as in the over-critical regime where they rotate collectively around the considered home. We additionally elaborate the overdamped Smoluchowski-limit for the ensemble.

description: Employment relations systems generally fail to enforce all legal rights of migrant workers. This article illustrates a broader approach to the way labour migration is regulated in practice, using the example of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong. Political economists have shown that the reality of low-wage migration is either ‘more rights, less access’ or ‘fewer rights, greater access’ in terms of rights enforcement systems. Attention to the effectiveness of such mechanisms and processes reveals another feature of regulation: the divergence of theory from practice. Much scholarly attention has been paid to rights, and this analysis, in which enforcement of those rights is sought, contributes to the literature with a frequently-occurring example of how such regulatory practices effectively restrict migrant rights. The article concludes by arguing that regulation uses employers as a further ‘mechanism of control’ to determine the actual quantity and quality of migrant workers’ employment rights regardless of what is stipulated in the law.

description: The classical nucleation equation, applied to two liquids, is completed by an additional enthalpy for solid supercluster formation governing the liquid and glass transformations. This model, successfully applied to d-mannitol, triphenyl phosphite and n-butanol, defines a formation rule of strong glacial phase, explaining the origin of the first-order transition of water from fragile-to-strong liquid at TLL = 228.5 K, only knowing Tg = 137.1 K, the melting heat and the melting temperature Tm. All thermodynamic properties and transitions, even under pressure P, are now predicted in agreement with experiments of Kanno and Angell (1979), Mishima (1994), Mishima and Stanley (1998), Loerting et al (2006), Amann-Winkel et al (2013), Shephard and Salzmann (2016, 2017), Tulk et al (2019). This glacial phase is formed at TLL = 0.8367*Tm for P < 0.017 GPa. (TLL) decreases with P < 0.017 GPa and disappears for P > 0.55 GPa. The lowest-density liquid is, at once, the glacial phase of fragile and high-density liquids. It is formed at TLL, remains liquid during the first cooling, and gives rise to the glass phase by heating through a first-order transition without latent heat at TK2 = 122.4 K. Ordered liquid Phase 3 appears during the first heating above Tg = 137.1 K, with its own Kauzmann temperature, superheating above Tm up to Tn+ if crystallization is avoided. The latent heat at TLL exists during the first cooling and is compensated during the next cooling by Phase 3 formation heat. The first-order transition without latent heat at TK2 = 122.4 K induces ordered Phase 3, becomes underlying below Tg in further heating and induces an enthalpy excess at Tm which is used to predict TK2. This description agrees with the broken bond and solid fractal structure percolation theories.

The afterglow of GRB021211: Another case of reverse shock emission
Creators: name: Wei, D. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: GRB021211 was first detected by HETE II and its early afterglow has been observed. There is a break in its afterglow light curve at about 12 minutes after the bursts, before the break the optical flux decays with a power-law index of about -1.6, while at late time the power-law slope is about -1 (Chornock et al. 2002). Here we will show that the afterglow light curve of GRB021211 can be explained within the framework of the standard fireball model. We show that the afterglow emission before the break time is the contribution of the emission from both the reverse shock and the forward shock, while the afterglow emission after the break time is mainly due to the forward shock emission. From the fitting we can give constraints on the parameters: the initial Lorentz factor $250\leq γ_0 \leq 900$, the surrounding medium density $n\geq 1.6\times 10^{-3}$ atoms ${\rm cm^{-3}}$, and $0.077ε_{\rm B}^{3/16} \leq ε_{\rm B}^{1/4}(\frac{ε_{\rm e}}{0.1}) \leq 0.14$, where $ε_{\rm B}$ and $ε_{\rm e}$ are the fractions of the shock energy given to the magnetic field and electrons. We propose that since the values of $ε_{\rm B}$ and $ε_{\rm e}$ are somewhat smaller for GRB021211, so the peak energy of the reverse shock emission is well below the optical band, and thus it is substantially fainter than 990123 at similar epochs. Also we suggest that such a break might be a common feature in early optical afterglows.

description: We investigate experimentally the distribution of configurations of a ring with an elementary topological constraint, a ``figure-8'' twist. Using vibrated granular chains, which permit controlled preparation and direct observation of such a constraint, we show that configurations where one of the loops is tight and the second is large are strongly preferred. This agrees with recent predictions for equilibrium properties of topologically-constrained polymers. However, the dynamics of the tightening process weakly violate detailed balance, a signature of the nonequilibrium nature of this system.

description: Question classification (QC) is the primary step of the Question Answering (QA) system. Question Classification (QC) system classifies the questions in particular classes so that Question Answering (QA) System can provide correct answers for the questions. Our system categorizes the factoid type questions asked in natural language after extracting features of the questions. We present a two stage QC system for Bengali. It utilizes one dimensional convolutional neural network for classifying questions into coarse classes in the first stage. Word2vec representation of existing words of the question corpus have been constructed and used for assisting 1D CNN. A smart data balancing technique has been employed for giving data hungry convolutional neural network the advantage of a greater number of effective samples to learn from. For each coarse class, a separate Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) based classifier has been used in order to differentiate among the finer classes within that coarse class. TF-IDF representation of each word has been used as feature for the SGD classifiers implemented as part of second stage classification. Experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed method for Bengali question classification.

description: Some research on the population in a European country, referred to as the target population, may not provide a sufficient sample size and require pooling multiple national data sources. The researcher can access multiple national data sources one at a time but cannot access them simultaneously at an individual patient level, because of regulation requirements on data sharing. We propose a strategy that enables the combination of information from multiple data sources when IPD are not simultaneously accessible to researchers. This strategy starts with a protocol for extracting information consistently from all data sources. It utilizes the matching adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) approach to derive the weights to align the means of the identified covariates of each data source to those of a target study population. The final analysis will be a meta-analysis on the weight adjusted estimates of treatment effect from individual data sources.

Computing the energy spectrum, pair correlation functions, and dynamical form factor as a function of inter-dot coupling via diagonalization of the many-body Hamiltonian, we identify structural transitions between different phases, some of which do not have a classical counterpart. The calculated Raman cross section shows how such phases can be experimentally singled out.

description: In one dimension, the exponential position operators introduced in a theory of polarization are identified with the twisting operators appearing in the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis argument, and their finite-size expectation values $z_L$ measure the overlap between the unique ground state and an excited state. Insulators are characterized by $z_{\infty}\neq 0$. We identify $z_L$ with ground-state expectation values of vertex operators in the sine-Gordon model. This allows an accurate detection of quantum phase transitions in the universality classes of the Gaussian model. We apply this theory to the half-filled extended Hubbard model and obtain agreement with the level-crossing approach.

description: Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 archival images obtained years prior to the explosion of the Type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2001du in NGC 1365 previously have been analyzed to isolate the progenitor star. The SN site was located using precise astrometry applied to the HST images, with significant uncertainty, leaving three possible progenitor candidates. Images of the fading SN have recently become publicly available in the HST archive, allowing us to pinpoint the SN's exact location on the pre-explosion images. We show that the SN occurred in very close proximity to one of the blue candidate stars, but we argue that this star is not the actual progenitor. Instead, the progenitor was not detected on the pre-SN images, and we constrain the progenitor's mass to be less than 13 (+7, -4) Msuns. This is consistent with previous constraints on the progenitor masses of other Type II-plateau supernovae (SNe), suggesting that such SNe arise from the iron core collapse of massive stars at the lower extreme of the possible mass range.

description: When used in clinical trial adaptive designs, conditional power (CP) is most commonly calculated assuming the current trend, but this approach has been criticized for substantially deviating from the actual CP due to “double-dipping” the interim data (i.e., using the interim data as part of the final analysis test statistic and as the assumption for the remainder of the trial). By contrast, CP assuming the design assumption preserves the shape of the CP curve by “single-dipping” the interim data (i.e., using the interim data once to construct the final test statistic) but is less robust against misspecification. To improve CP estimation, we propose a “1.w dipping” hybrid approach by using an assumption that optimally combines the current trend assumption with weight w and the design assumption with weight 1-w. The optimization of w accounts for the uncertainty of the true treatment effect size and can be linked with study priorities through customizable penalty functions. Through simulation using sample size re-estimation designs, we demonstrate that the proposed approach maximizes the precision of CP-based interim decision making on average and leads to other desirable operating characteristics. Given its flexibility and superior performance, we recommend this novel approach over the existing methods.

Peer review vs bibliometrics: which method better predicts the scholarly impact of publications?

description: In this work, we try to answer the question of which method, peer review vs bibliometrics, better predicts the future overall scholarly impact of scientific publications. We measure the agreement between peer review evaluations of Web of Science indexed publications submitted to the first Italian research assessment exercise and long-term citations of the same publications. We do the same for an early citation-based indicator. We find that the latter shows stronger predictive power, i.e., it more reliably predicts late citations in all the disciplinary areas examined, and for any citation time window starting one year after publication.

description: Quantum network coding has been proposed to improve resource utilization to support distributed computation but has not yet been put in to practice. We investigate a particular implementation of quantum network coding using measurement-based quantum computation on IBM Q processors. We compare the performance of quantum network coding with entanglement swapping and entanglement distribution via linear cluster states. These protocols outperform quantum network coding in terms of the final Bell pair fidelities but are unsuitable for optimal resource utilization in complex networks with contention present. We demonstrate the suitability of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices such as IBM Q for the study of quantum networks. We also identify the factors that limit the performance of quantum network coding on these processors and provide estimates or error rates required to boost the final Bell pair fidelities to a point where they can be used for generation of genuinely random cryptographic keys among other useful tasks. Surprisingly, the required error rates are only around a factor of 2 smaller than the current status and we expect they will be achieved in the near future.

description: We have analyzed the interplay between an externally added noise and the intrinsic noise of systems that relax fast towards a stationary state, and found that increasing the intensity of the external noise can reduce the total noise of the system. We have established a general criterion for the appearance of this phenomenon and discussed two examples in detail.

Non-Bloch $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking in non-Hermitian Photonic Quantum Walks

description: A hallmark of topological band theory in periodic media is that bulk properties are not affected by boundary conditions. Remarkably, in certain non-Hermitian lattices the bulk properties are largely affected by boundaries, leading to such major effects as the non-Hermitian skin effect and violation of the bulk-boundary correspondence. Here we unveil that non-unitary discrete-time quantum walks of photons in systems involving gain and loss show rather generally non-Bloch parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry breaking phase transitions, and suggest a bulk probing method to detect such boundary-driven phase transitions.

The electroclinic effect and modulated phases in smectic liquid crystals
Creators: name: Meyer, Robert B.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore the possibility that the large electroclinic effect observed in ferroelectric liquid crystals arises from the presence of an ordered array of disclination lines and walls. If the spacing of these defects is in the subvisible range, this modulated phase would be similar macroscopically to a smectic A phase. The application of an electric field distorts the array, producing a large polarization, and hence a large electroclinic effect. We show that with suitable elastic parameters and sufficiently large chirality, the modulated phase is favored over the smectic A and helically twisted smectic C* phases. We propose various experimental tests of this scenario.

description: We compute the distribution of the decay rates (also referred to as residues) of the eigenstates of a disordered slab from a numerical model. From the results of the numerical simulations, we are able to find simple analytical formulae that describe those results well. This is possible for samples both in the diffusive and in the localised regime. As example of a possible application, we investigate the lasing threshold of random lasers.

description: Background: The hygroscopicity of raffinose carrier for dry powder inhaler (DPI) was the main obstacle for its further application. Hygroscopicity-induced agglomeration would cause deterioration of aerosolization performance of raffinose, undermining the delivery efficiency. Methods: Cyclodextrin-raffinose binary carriers (CRBCs) were produced by spray-drying so as to surmount the above issue. Physicochemical attributes and formation mechanism of CRBCs were explored in detail. The flow property of CRBCs was examined by FT4 Powder Rheometer. Hygroscopicity of CRBCs was elucidated by dynamic vapor sorption study. Aerosolization performance was evaluated by in vitro deposition profile and in vivo pharmacokinetic profile of CRBC based DPI formulations. Results: The optimal formulation of CRBC (R4) was proven to possess anti-hygroscopicity and aerosolization performance enhancement properties. Concisely, the moisture uptake of R4 was c.a. 5% which was far lower than spray-dried raffinose (R0, c.a. 65%). R4 exhibited a high fine particle fraction value of 70.56 ± 0.61% and it was 3.75-fold against R0. The pulmonary and plasmatic bioavailability of R4 were significantly higher than R0 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: CRBC with anti-hygroscopicity and aerosolization performance enhancement properties was a promising approach for pulmonary drug delivery, which could provide new possibilities to the application of hygroscopic carriers for DPI.
Grazing Eclipsing Dwarf Nova CW Monocerotis: Dwarf Nova-Type Outburst in a Possible Intermediate Polar?

description: We observed the 2002 October-November outburst of the dwarf nova CW Mon. The outburst showed a clear signature of a premaximum halt, and a more rapid decline after reaching the outburst maximum. On two separate occasions, during the premaximum stage and near the outburst maximum, shallow eclipses were recorded. This finding confirms the previously suggested possibility of the grazing eclipsing nature of this system. The separate occurrence of the eclipses and the premaximum halt can be understood as a result of a combination of two-step ignition of an outburst and the inside-out propagation of the heating wave. We detected a coherent short-period (0.02549 d) signal on two subsequent nights around the optical maximum. This signal was likely present during the maximum phase of the 2000 January outburst. We interpret this signal as a signature of the intermediate polar (IP) type pulses. The rather strange outburst properties, strong and hard X-ray emission, and the low luminosity of the outburst maximum might be understood as consequences of the supposed IP nature. The ratio between the suggested spin period and the orbital period, however, is rather unusual for a system having an orbital period of ~0.176 d.
