description: Cherenkov telescopes image the Cherenkov emission from air showers. A priori, it is not obvious if the `best' images are achieved by measuring Cherenkov photon angles, i.e. focusing the telescope at infinity, or by considering the air shower as an object to be imaged, in which case one might focus the telescope on the central region of the shower. The issue is addressed using shower simulations.

Coupling Viscous Vorticity Equation (VISVE) method with OpenFOAM to predict turbulent flow around 2-D hydrofoils and cylinders

description: The VIScous Vorticity Equation (VISVE) method has already been applied to solve the laminar flow around a cylinder and a hydrofoil at low Reynolds numbers. This method is more computationally efficient and spatially compact than a viscous flow method based on primitive variables. However, the VISVE method fails at high Reynolds numbers due to the effects of turbulence. In this thesis, a synchronous coupling method was developed to couple the VISVE and a turbulence model in OpenFOAM, enabling the VISVE method to solve the turbulent flow at high Reynolds numbers in a 2-D hydrofoil case and a 2-D cylinder case. The velocity, vorticity, and pressure calculated by the coupling method agree well with the results obtained by a RANS method.

description: Piezoelectric quartz tuning forks have been employed as the force sensor in a dynamic mode scanning force microscope operating at temperatures down to 1.7 K at He-gas pressures of typically 5 mbar. An electrochemically etched tungsten tip glued to one of the tuning fork prongs acts as the local force sensor. Its oscillation amplitude can be tuned between a few angstroms and tens of nanometers. Quality factors of up to 120000 allow a very accurate measurement of small frequency shifts. Three calibration procedures are compared which allow the determination of the proportionality constant between frequency shift and local force gradient based on the harmonic oscillator model and on electrostatic forces. The calibrated sensor is then used for a study of the interaction between the tip and a HOPG substrate. Force gradient and dissipated power can be recorded simultane-ously. It is found that during approaching the tip to the sample considerable power starts to be dissipated although the force gradient is still negative, i.e. the tip is still in the attractive regime. This observation concurs with experiments with true atomic resolution which seem to require the same tip-sample separation.

description: We introduce two novel tree search algorithms that use a policy to guide search. The first algorithm is a best-first enumeration that uses a cost function that allows us to prove an upper bound on the number of nodes to be expanded before reaching a goal state. We show that this best-first algorithm is particularly well suited for `needle-in-a-haystack' problems. The second algorithm is based on sampling and we prove an upper bound on the expected number of nodes it expands before reaching a set of goal states. We show that this algorithm is better suited for problems where many paths lead to a goal. We validate these tree search algorithms on 1,000 computer-generated levels of Sokoban, where the policy used to guide the search comes from a neural network trained using A3C. Our results show that the policy tree search algorithms we introduce are competitive with a state-of-the-art domain-independent planner that uses heuristic search.

description: The application of orally administered nanoparticles in the circulation system is limited by the secretion and shedding of intestinal tract mucous layer. In order to enhance mucoadhesion and mucus penetration of curcumin (Cur)-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) after oral administration, a new multifunctional conjugate, N-acetyl-L-cysteine-polyethylene glycol (100)-monostearate (NAPG), was synthesized. Functionalized nanocarriers (Cur-NAPG-NLC) modified by different amounts of NAPG (the amounts of NAPG were 20, 50, and 100 mg) were prepared and investigated for in vitro and in vivo behavior. Mean particle sizes of 89–141 nm with negative zeta potential (−15 to −11 mV) and high encapsulation efficiency (EE, >90%) possessing spherical and stable nanocarriers were observed. Sustained drug release was also observed for the NAPG-NLC. In situ intestinal perfusion studies showed that with increasing the amount of NAPG increase absorption of Cur. In vivo oral pharmacokinetic evaluation suggested that the bioavailability of Cur in rats was proportional to the degree of functionalization of NLCs with NAPG. AUC0–t of Cur-NAPG100-NLC was improved by 499.45 and 116.89 folds as compared to that of Cur solution and unmodified Cur-NLC, respectively. In conclusion, NAPG modified NLC could be a promising drug delivery system for improving oral performance of BCS class IV drugs.

description: Sparse arrays are popular for performance optimization while keeping the hardware and computational costs down. In this paper, we consider sparse arrays design method for wideband source operating in a wideband jamming environment. Maximizing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (MaxSINR) is adopted as an optimization objective for wideband beamforming. Sparse array design problem is formulated in the DFT domain to process the source as parallel narrowband sources. The problem is formulated as quadratically constraint quadratic program (QCQP) alongside the weighted mixed $l_{1-\infty}$-norm squared penalization of the beamformer weight vector. The semidefinite relaxation (SDR) of QCQP promotes sparse solutions by iteratively re-weighting beamformer based on previous iteration. It is shown that the DFT approach reduces the computational cost considerably as compared to the delay line approach, while efficiently utilizing the degrees of freedom to harness the maximum output SINR offered by the given array aperture.

description: We have used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to investigate two types of hydrogen defect structures on monolayer graphene supported by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in a gated field-effect transistor configuration. The first H-defect type is created by bombarding graphene with 1-keV ionized hydrogen and is identified as two hydrogen atoms bonded to a graphene vacancy via comparison of experimental data to first-principles calculations. The second type of H defect is identified as dimerized hydrogen and is created by depositing atomic hydrogen having only thermal energy onto a graphene surface. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements reveal that hydrogen dimers formed in this way open a new elastic channel in the tunneling conductance between an STM tip and graphene.

description: The unusual metallic state in conjugated polymers and single-walled carbon nanotubes is studied by dielectric spectroscopy (8--600 GHz). We have found an intriguing correlation between scattering time and plasma frequency. This relation excludes percolation models of the metallic state. Instead, the carrier dynamics can be understood in terms of the low density of delocalized states around the Fermi level, which arises from the competion between disorder-induced localization and interchain-interactions-induced delocalization.

description: Background: Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) is a transmembrane protein expressed in dopaminergic reward pathways in the brain, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc). The GG genotype of a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within CD38, rs3796863, is associated with increased social reward. Objective: Examine whether CD38 rs3796863 and Cd38 knockout (KO) are associated with reward-related neural and behavioral phenotypes. Methods: Data from four independent human studies were used to test whether rs3796863 genotype is associated with: (1) intravenous alcohol self-administration (n = 64, 30 females), (2) alcohol-stimulated dopamine (DA) release measured using 11C-raclopride positron emission tomography (n = 22 men), (3) ventral striatum (VS) response to positive feedback measured using a card guessing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm (n = 531, 276 females), and (4) resting state functional connectivity (rsfc) of the VS (n = 51, 26 females). In a fifth study, we used a mouse model to examine whether cd38 knockout influences stimulated DA release in the NAc core and dorsal striatum using fast-scanning cyclic voltammetry. Results: Relative to T allele carriers, G homozygotes at rs3796863 within CD38 were characterized by greater alcohol self-administration, alcohol-stimulated dopamine release, VS response to positive feedback, and rsfc between the VS and anterior cingulate cortex. High-frequency stimulation reduced DA release among Cd38 KO mice had reduced dopamine release in the NAc. Conclusion: Converging evidence suggests that CD38 rs3796863 genotype may increase DA-related reward response and alcohol consumption.

description: The availability of interaction devices has raised interest in techniques to support the user interface (UI). A UI specification describes the functions that a system provides to its users by capturing the interface details and includes possible actions through interaction elements. UI developers of interactive systems have to address multiple sources of heterogeneity, including end users heterogeneity and variability of the context of use. This paper contributes to the notion of interactivity and interfacing by proposing a methodology for producing engineering-type diagrams of (abstract) machine processes that can specify uniform structure and behavior of systems through a synchronic order of states (stages): creation, release, transfer, receive, and process. As an example, the diagrammatic methodology is applied to conceptualizing space as a machine. The resulting depiction seems suitable for use in designing UIs in certain environments.

description: Within the framework of the generalized linear sigma model with glueballs recently proposed [1,2], we study the schematic spectroscopy of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons in the SU(3) flavor limit and explore their quark and glue contents. In this framework, for both scalars and pseudoscalars, the two octet physical states are admixtures of quark-antiquark and four-quark components, and the three singlet states contain quark-antiquark, four-quark and glue components. We identify the two scalar octets with $a_0(980)$ and $a_0(1450)$ and the two pseudoscalar octets with $π(137)$ and $π(1300)$. We show that, as expected, the light pseudoscalar octet is made dominantly of quark-antiquarks whereas the light scalar octet has a reversed substructure with a dominant four-quark component. The case of singlets is more complex due to surplus of states up to around 2 GeV. We consider all 35 permutations for identifying the three pseudoscalar singlets of our model with three of the seven experimental candidates. Our numerical simulation unambiguously identifies the lightest and the heaviest pseudoscalar singlets with $η(547)$ and $η(2225)$, respectively, and favors the identification of the middle singlet with either $η(1295)$ or $η(1405)$ [or, to a lesser extent, with $η(1475)$] and thereby allows a probe of their substructures. We then estimate the quark and glue components and find that the three pseudoscalar singlets (from lightest to heaviest) are mainly of quark-antiquark, four-quark and glue substructure, while the corresponding three scalar singlets (from lightest to heaviest) are of four-quark, quark antiquark and glue contents. The masses of pure pseudoscalar and scalar glueballs are estimated around 2.0 and 1.6 GeV, respectively.

description: The problem of velocity selection for reaction fronts has been intensively investigated, leading to the successful marginal stability approach for propagation into an unstable state. Because the front velocity is controlled by the leading edge which perforce has low density, it is interesting to study the role that finite particle number fluctuations have on this picture. Here, we use the well-known mapping of discrete Markov processes to stochastic differential equations and focus on the front velocity in the simple $A+A \stackrel{\leftarrow}{\to} A$ system. Our results are consistent with a recent (heuristic) proposal that $v_{MS} - v \sim {1\over \ln^2 {N}}$.

description: Oxygen abundances in a sample of ultra-metal-poor subdwarfs have been derived from measurements of the oxygen triplet at 7771--5 A and OH lines in the near UV performed in high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra obtained with WHT/UES, KeckI/HIRES, and VLT/UVES. Our Fe abundances were derived in LTE and then corrected for NLTE effects following Thevenin and Idiart (1999). The new oxygen abundances confirm previous findings for a progressive linear rise in the oxygen-to-iron ratio with a slope -0.33+-0.02 from solar metallicity to [Fe/H] -3. A slightly higher slope would be obtained if the Fe NLTE corrections were not considered. Below [Fe/H]= -2.5 our stars show [O/Fe] ratios as high as ~ 1.17 (G64-12), which can be interpreted as evidence for oxygen overproduction in the very early epoch of the formation of the halo, possibly associated with supernova events with very massive progenitor stars. We show that the arguments against this linear trend given by Fulbright and Kraft (1999), based on the LTE Fe analysis of two metal-poor stars cannot be sustained when an NLTE analysis is performed. Using 1-D models our analysis of three oxygen indicators available for BD +23 3130 gives consistent abundances within 0.16 dex and average [O/Fe] ratio of 0.91.

description: Cette thèse adopte une approche constructiviste s'appuyant sur la théorie de l'invisibilité sociale en vue d'explorer comment les proches de personnes incarcérées (PPI) utilisent les réseaux sociaux pour se rendre visibles socialement. Sur la base d'une analyse netnographique menée de février 2022 à septembre 2023 sur YouTube, Reddit et TikTok ; notre recherche révèle que les PPI luttent et remettent en question les régimes d'invisibilité auxquels ils sont confrontés (Voirol, 2005a ; Thompson, 2005 ; Honneth, 2004 ; Le Blanc, 2009), avec une certaine porosité des frontières institutionnelles. La diversité des contenus émotionnels sur les 3 plateformes étudiées dévoile des approches distinctes avec des différences de formats, de fonctions et de contenus ; soulignant l'importance de considérer les spécificités de chaque plateforme. L'étude démontre également que les PPI adoptent certaines voies narratives plus que d'autres pour partager leur expérience, plutôt que des critiques ou dénonciations directes du système carcéral. Nous avons notamment observé une prédominance narrative des émotions et histoires d'amour et une faible présence de dénonciations et critiques du système carcéral. Cette thèse offre des perspectives originales sur la manière dont les PPI naviguent dans le paysage des réseaux sociaux pour exprimer leurs émotions et se rendre visibles, contribuant ainsi à la compréhension des dynamiques de visibilité sociale dans des contextes criminologiques. En façonnant et revendiquant leur identité en ligne, les PPI déconstruisent les préjugés et luttent, à leur façon, contre les stigmates sociaux de l'incarcération, renforçant ainsi leur résilience et leur pouvoir de transformation des perceptions collectives.

description: Quantum descriptions of many complex systems are formulated most naturally in bases of states that are not mutually orthogonal. We introduce a general and powerful yet simple approach that facilitates solving such models exactly by embedding the non-orthogonal states in a new Hilbert space in which they are by definition mutually orthogonal. This novel approach is applied to electronic transport in molecular quantum wires and is used to predict conductance antiresonances of a new type that arise solely out of the non-orthogonality of the local orbitals on different sites of the wire.

description: Time evolutions whose infinitesimal generator is a fractional time derivative arise generally in the long time limit. Such fractional time evolutions are considered here for random walks. An exact relationship is given between the fractional master equation and a separable continuous time random walk of the Montroll-Weiss type. The waiting time density can be expressed using a generalized Mittag-Leffler function. The first moment of the waiting density does not exist.

description: We propose a method to reach conditions of high degeneracy in a trapped Fermi gas, based on the adiabatic transfer of atoms from a magnetic to a tighter optical trap. The transformation yields a large increase of the Fermi energy, without a significant change of the temperature. The large enhancement of the central density emphasizes the role of the interactions and makes the system much closer to the BCS transition. An estimate of the time needed to achieve the conditions of adiabaticity is also given.

description: We report on a new experimental procedure for forming and studying polar smectic liquid crystal films. A free standing smectic film is put in contact with a liquid drop, so that the film has one liquid crystal/liquid interface and one liquid crystal/air interface. This polar environment results in changes in the textures observed in the film, including a boojum texture and a previously unobserved spiral texture in which the winding direction of the spiral reverses at a finite radius from its center. Some aspects of these textures are explained by the presence of a Ksb term in the bulk elastic free energy density that favors a combination of splay and bend deformations.

Text line Segmentation in Compressed Representation of Handwritten Document using Tunneling Algorithm

description: In this research work, we perform text line segmentation directly in compressed representation of an unconstrained handwritten document image. In this relation, we make use of text line terminal points which is the current state-of-the-art. The terminal points spotted along both margins (left and right) of a document image for every text line are considered as source and target respectively. The tunneling algorithm uses a single agent (or robot) to identify the coordinate positions in the compressed representation to perform text-line segmentation of the document. The agent starts at a source point and progressively tunnels a path routing in between two adjacent text lines and reaches the probable target. The agent's navigation path from source to the target bypassing obstacles, if any, results in segregating the two adjacent text lines. However, the target point would be known only when the agent reaches the destination; this is applicable for all source points and henceforth we could analyze the correspondence between source and target nodes. Artificial Intelligence in Expert systems, dynamic programming and greedy strategies are employed for every search space while tunneling. An exhaustive experimentation is carried out on various benchmark datasets including ICDAR13 and the performances are reported.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of segregating binary fluid mixtures in shear flow

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We apply lattice Boltzmann method to study the phase separation of a two-dimensional binary fluid mixture in shear flow. The algorithm can simulate systems described by the Navier-Stokes and convection-diffusion equations. We propose a new scheme for imposing the shear flow which has the advantage of preserving mass and momentum conservation on the boundary walls without introducing slip velocities. Our main results concern the presence of two typical lenght scales in the phase separation process, corresponding to domains with two different thicknesses. Our simulations at low viscosity confirm previous results only valid in the limit of infinite viscosity.

Kähler-Dirac fermions on Euclidean dynamical triangulations

description: We study Kähler-Dirac fermions on Euclidean dynamical triangulations. This fermion formulation furnishes a natural extension of staggered fermions to random geometries without requring vielbeins and spin connections. We work in the quenched approximation where the geometry is allowed to fluctuate but there is no back-reaction from the matter on the geometry. By examining the eigenvalue spectrum and the masses of scalar mesons we find evidence for a four fold degeneracy in the fermion spectrum in the large volume, continuum limit. It is natural to associate this degeneracy with the well known equivalence in continuum flat space between the Kähler-Dirac fermion and four copies of a Dirac fermion. Lattice effects then lift this degeneracy in a manner similar to staggered fermions on regular lattices. The evidence that these discretization effects vanish in the continuum limit suggests both that lattice continuum Kähler-Dirac fermions are recovered at that point, and that this limit truly corresponds to smooth continuum geometries. One additional advantage of the Kähler-Dirac action is that it respects an exact $U(1)$ symmetry on any random triangulation. This $U(1)$ symmetry is related to continuum chiral symmetry. By examining fermion bilinear condensates we find strong evidence that this $U(1)$ symmetry is not spontaneously broken in the model at order the Planck scale. This is a necessary requirement if models based on dynamical triangulations are to provide a valid ultraviolet complete formulation of quantum gravity.

bacterial vaginosis

description: Among sexually active women, bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of vaginal infection and irregular vaginal discharge.From January to December 2018, the research was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Vinayaka Missions Medical College and Hospital in Karaikal, Puducherry. The Main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and the association of risk factors for bacterial vaginosis. All patients who came to the gynaecology OPD with vaginal discharge were tested for bacterial vaginosis.The features of women with bacterial vaginosis and those who do not are compared. Out of 5130 patients who attended the gynaecological OPD, 1534 came with complaints of vaginal discharge and 422 among them were positive for bacterial vaginosis by Amsel's criteria. 1112 women didn’t have. Among symptomatic patients with irregular vaginal discharge, the average prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 27.5% Bacterial vaginosis is more common in women aged 30-40, who are illiterate, and who work as farmers. Contraceptive users on anatomical sites (IUCD and Barrier method) were more likely to contract bacterial vaginosis than those who did not. The higher prevalence of bacterial vaginosis indicates that periodic screening and prompt intervention to prevent adverse outcomes should be done. All women with irregular vaginal discharge should have their vaginal discharge checked for bacterial vaginosis on a regular basis to avoid long-term complications.
Ground state instability in systems of strongly interacting fermions

description: We analyze stability of a fermion system with model repulsive pair interaction potential. The possibility for different types of restructuring of the Fermi ground state (at sufficiently great coupling constant) is related to the analytic properties of such potential. In particular, for the screened Coulomb law it is shown that the restructuring cannot be of the Fermi condensation type, known earlier for some exactly solvable models, and instead it belongs to the class of topological transitions (TT). For this model, a phase diagram has been built in the variables "screening parameter - coupling constant" which displays two kinds of TT: a 5/2-kind similar to the known Lifshitz transitions in metals, and a 2-kind characteristic for a uniform strongly interacting system.

description: T cell activation through the T cell receptor is necessary to achieve a specific and effective immune response. We report here that stimulation of CD8+ T cells through the T cell receptor leads to de novo expression of the CD4 antigen on the cell surface that results in susceptibility of CD8+ T cells to HIV infection. In addition, activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-infected individuals results in the appearance of double-positive CD4+/CD8+ T cells, which become infected by endogenous HIV. HIV DNA sequences could be detected in uncultured and sorted mature CD3+CD8+ T cells from HIV+ individuals. These results suggest a new mechanism by which HIV could attack the immune system and may help to explain the CD8+ T cell defects in AIDS patients.
