description: Sciomyza majuscula Rondani, 1868
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868c: 225 (key), 228 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in colle ditionis parmensis [Parmese hill (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, holotype (terminalia on a slide) (MZUF: Box 29): Sciomyza / Fall. maxima n. / 1524 / Holotypus / Pherbellia majuscula Rnd., des. Rivosecchi.
SLIDES: Genitalia on slide n° 3 (Box Diptera Rondani 3): S. majuscola = Ph. griseola Rivosecchi, 1986, coll. Rondani, ex. n. 1520. Genitalia on slide n° 4 (Box Diptera Rondani 3): maxima nov.? = Type majuscola, Rivosecchi, 1986, coll. Rondani, ex. n. 1524.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Pherbellia austera (Meigen, 1830) (Rozkošný & Elberg 1984: 172); valid species, as Pherbellia majuscula (Rivosecchi 1992a: 90, Munari & Rivosecchi 1995: 3).
REMARKS: Rondani (1868c: 228) described Sciomyza majuscula from a single male: “ Marem unicum legi [I collected a single male]”. According to Rivosecchi (1987: 46), the MZUF specimen of Pherbellia majuscola numbered “1520” did not match Rondani’s description and is mislabeled, while the specimen numbered “1524”, labeled “ Sciomyza Fall. maxima n.” [manuscript name], did match it and is the holotype for Pherbellia majuscola Rondani, 1868.

description: Цель статьи заключается в обсуждении того факта, что длина стержня равноускоренной системы отсчёта k первоначально ориентированной также, как и лабораторная система, не удовлетворяет обычной формуле сокращения Лоренца. Это противоречие объясняется собственным вращением Вигнера стержня системы k относительно сопутствующей системы отсчёта испытывающей прецессию Томаса. Вследствие этого общая формула сокращения является эффектом композиции поворота и обычного лоренцевского сокращения. Данная формула успешно проверена на примере криволинейного равноускоренного движения.The purpose of the paper is to discuss the fact that the length of the rod of an uniformly accelerated frame of reference k, which originally oriented like the laboratory system, does not satisfy the usual Lorentz contraction formula. This contradiction is explained by Wigner's proper rotation of the rod of frame k with respect to the comoving frame, which rotates with the frequency of the Thomas precession. As a consequence, the general contraction formula is the effect composition of the rotation and the usual Lorentz contraction. This formula has been successfully tested using the example of curvilinearly uniformly accelerated motion.

description: We propose a four-component molecular model of bitumen. The model includes realistic chemical constituents and introduces a coarse-graining level that suppresses the highest frequency modes. Molecular dynamics simulations of the model are being carried out using Graphic-Processor-Units based software in time spans in order of microseconds, and this enables the study of slow relaxation processes characterizing bitumen. This paper focuses on the high-temperature dynamics as expressed through the mean-square displacement, the stress autocorrelation function, and rotational relaxation. The diffusivity of the individual molecules changes little as a function of temperature and reveals distinct dynamical time scales as a result of the different constituents in the system. Different time scales are also observed for the rotational relaxation. The stress autocorrelation function features a slow non-exponential decay for all temperatures studied. From the stress autocorrelation function, the shear viscosity and shear modulus are evaluated at the highest temperature, showing a viscous response at frequencies below 100 MHz. The model predictions of viscosity and diffusivities are compared to experimental data, giving reasonable agreement. The model shows that the asphaltene, resin and resinous oil tend to form nano-aggregates. The characteristic dynamical relaxation time of these aggregates is different from the homogeneously distributed parts of the system, leading to strong dynamical heterogeneity.

description: The study of neutrinos is fundamental to connect astrophysics and elementary particle physics. In this last decade solar neutrino experiments and KamLAND confirmed the LMA solution and further clarified the mass and oscillation pattern. Borexino attacked also the study of the low energy neutrino spectrum. However, important points still need clarification, like the apparent anomaly in the vacuum to matter transition region. Besides, a more detailed study of the low energy components of the pp cycle, combined with a measurement of CNO fluxes, is compulsory, also to discriminate between the low and the high Z versions of the Solar Standard Models and solve the metallicity problem. We discuss the main recent advancements and the possibilities of studying these open problems with Borexino, SNO+ and the future experiments, like the next generation of scintillators.

description: In this companion to our letter (arXiv:2208.10514), we elaborate the full details of the predicted corrections to the primordial scalar and tensor power spectra that arise from quantum gravity-motivated, natural, covariant ultraviolet cutoffs. We implement these cutoffs by covariantly restricting the fields which are summed over in the path integrals for the primordial correlators, and we discuss in detail the functional analytic techniques necessary for evaluating such path integrals. Our prediction, which is given in terms of measured cosmological parameters and without assuming any particular inflationary potential, is that the corrections take the form of small oscillations which are superimposed on the conventional power spectra. The frequency of these oscillations only depends on the location of the cutoff scale and the first inflationary slow-roll parameter, while the amplitude and phase are also moderately sensitive to how smoothly the cutoff turns on. The specificity of the new predictions offers an opportunity to significantly enhance experimental sensitivity in observations of the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. This may be used to place ever higher bounds on the scale at which quantum gravity effects become important in quantum field theory or may even provide positive evidence for quantum gravity effects.

description: Precision experiments in the parity violating electron scattering (PVES) sector is one the leading methods to probe physics beyond the standard model (SM). A large part of the physics program being envisioned for future facilities such as the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) includes searching for physics beyond SM. Here, we present a novel technique which uses spacial asymmetry of synchrotron radiation produced by an electron beam passing through a wiggler magnet to trace the changes in beam polarization. Such a relative polarimeter could be vital if the goal of <0.5% polarimetry is to be achieved at EIC. In this paper, we update the discussion on the development of this technique supported by a Geant4 simulation. The polarimeter apparatus along with the underlying basic ideas are briefly introduced. As a part of the simulation, the effects of electron beam current and beam energy were studied which were found to be manageable over a wide range of electron beam energies and beam currents. It was found that such a relative polarimeter works best in the 4-20 GeV regime.

title: Investigations into the biophysical properties of the proline rich region of Ubiquilin-2
Creators: name: Waddington, Bethany Jayne
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Ubiquitin is a 76 amino acid protein used by eukaryotic cells to selectively label and target proteins to a range of cellular fates, including degradation. Ubiquitin can be attached in many ways and the length of ubiquitin modification creates a code for the outcome of the tagged protein. Furthermore, the type of ubiquitin chain conjugated also directs tagged proteins to a particular fate. This ubiquitin modification code is interpreted by ubiquitin receptors. These receptors contain ubiquitin binding domains which interact with specific chains to direct tagged proteins to the correct pathway. The family of Ubquilin proteins contain such binding domains (termed Ubiquitin Associated domains and shortened to UBA domains from here on). Current literature has shown Ubiquilins target K48 tagged proteins to the proteasome for degradation. Intriguingly however, when expressing the UBA domain in isolation, ubiquitin is bound non-discriminately and with poor affinity. This raises the question of how the Ubiquilins can function as Ubiquitin receptors with such poor affinity and specificity? Unique to UBQLN2, the proline rich repeat region (PRR region) is hypothesised in this study to be one of the mechanisms conferring the necessary specificity for UBQLN2 to function within the cell. The PRR region houses the majority of mutations causing a rare form of juvenile, X-linked ALS. However, the structure and function of this region remains elusive. Computational modelling conducted in this study has revealed a similarity to bacterial collagen-like proteins, some of which trimerize via their collagen-like domains. The PRR region of UBQLN2 was investigated using a variety of recombinantly expressed proteins and biophysical techniques. Initial investigation revealed a trimeric structure forming via the PRR region. A previously undescribed secondary structure for the PRR region was also revealed: the polyproline-II helix. This helix is a common precursor for collagen triple helix formation. In order to investigate the potential of this region to multimerize as a collagen-like triple helix, an obligate trimer was engineered. When modelled in AlphaFold, this protein revealed a propensity to form a triple helical structure. Upon closer inspection using NMR, no clear conclusions could be drawn regarding its structure, due to the repeated, proline-rich nature of the region. However, dihedral angle predictions place over 50% of the residues of the PRR region in the Ramachandran space often occupied by residues of the collagen triple helix. Engineering these domains in such a way did not alter the folding of the globular UBA domain, which retained its ability to bind ubiquitin. Therefore, a novel obligate trimer has been created to model the PRR region and UBA domain of UBQLN2. The technologies developed in this study offer new opportunities to elucidate the structure of the PRR region and infer the role it plays in disease progression.
Motion of dark solitons in a non-uniform flow of Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We study motion of dark solitons in a non-uniform one-dimensional flow of Bose-Einstein condensate. Our approach is based on Hamiltonian mechanics applied to the particle-like behavior of dark solitons in a slightly non-uniform and slowly changing surrounding. In one-dimensional geometry, the condensate's wave function undergoes the jump-like behavior across the soliton and this leads to generation of the counterflow in the background condensate. For correct description of soliton's dynamics, the contributions of this counterflow to the momentum and energy of the soliton are taken into account. The resulting Hamilton equations are reduced to the Newton-like equation for the soliton's path and this Newton equation is solved in several typical situations. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical calculations.

Protoplanetary disks meet artificial neural networks: revisiting the viscous disk model and updated disk masses
Creators: name: Ribas, Álvaro
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We model the SEDs of 23 protoplanetary disks in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region using detailed disk models and a Bayesian approach. This is made possible by combining these models with artificial neural networks to drastically speed up their performance. Such a setup allows us to confront $\alpha$-disk models with observations while accounting for several uncertainties and degeneracies. Our results yield high viscosities for many sources, which is not consistent with recent measurements of low turbulence levels in disks. This inconsistency could imply that viscosity is not the main mechanism for angular momentum transport in disks, and that alternatives such as disk winds play an important role in this process. We also find that our SED-derived disk masses are systematically higher (median difference of a factor of $\sim$3 higher) than those obtained solely from (sub)mm fluxes, suggesting that part of the disk emission could still be optically thick at (sub)mm wavelengths. This effect is particularly relevant for disk population studies and alleviates observational tensions between the masses of protoplanetary disks and exoplanetary systems.

description: There is a threat of imminent abrupt and irreversible transitions in the Earth system, both on land and in the ocean. A reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and in land-use change must be implemented urgently to mitigate these changes through political, economic, and societal measures. Yet, considerable knowledge gaps remain concerning the processes underlying the dynamics of tipping elements, Three EU funded Horizon2020 projects have been investigating tipping behaviour in the Earth system: Tipping Points in the Earth System (TiPES), Our Common Future Ocean in the Earth System (COMFORT), and Tipping Points in Antarctic Climate Components (TiPACCs). In the joint policy brief, you can find key findings of the three projects, persisting knowledge gaps as well as policy recommendations.
Liquid-crystal patterns of rectangular particles in a square nanocavity

description: Using density-functional theory in the restricted-orientation approximation, we analyse the liquid-crystal patterns and phase behaviour of a fluid of hard rectangular particles confined in a two-dimensional square nanocavity of side length $H$ composed of hard inner walls. Patterning in the cavity is governed by surface-induced order, capillary and frustration effects, and depends on the relative values of particle aspect ratio $κ\equiv L/σ$, with $L$ the length and $σ$ the width of the rectangles ($L\geσ$), and cavity size $H$. Ordering may be very different from bulk ($H\to\infty$) behaviour when $H$ is a few times the particle length $L$ (nanocavity). Bulk and confinement properties are obtained for the cases $κ=1$, 3 and 6. In the confined fluid surface-induced frustration leads to four-fold symmetry breaking in all phases (which become two-fold symmetric). Since no director distorsion can arise in our model by construction, frustration in the director orientation is relaxed by the creation of domain walls (where the director changes by $90^{\circ}$); this configuration is necessary to stabilise periodic phases. For $κ=1$ the crystal becomes stable with commensuration transitions taking place as $H$ is varied. In the case $κ=3$ the commensuration transitions involve columnar phases with different number of columns. Finally, in the case $κ=6$, the high-density region of the phase diagram is dominated by commensuration transitions between smectic structures; at lower densities there is a symmetry-breaking isotropic $\to$ nematic transition exhibiting non-monotonic behaviour with cavity size.

description: The exact solution of the system consisted from two or three q-bits doped in coupled cavities is discussed. The problem of indistinguishable between the excited radiators and photons is analyzed using the intrinsic symmetry of the system. It is demonstrated that the solution is drastically simplified when the radiators and photons are considered as a new polariton excitations. The exact solution of Schrodinger equation is obtained for single and two excitations in each cavity taking into consideration the indistinguishable principle. This approach opens new possibilities in the interpretation of quantum entangled states in comparison with the traditional distinctive situation (see for example [1,2]) due to the decreasing of the number of degrees of freedoms in the system. Considering that the energies of coupling between the radiators and photons is larger than the coupling with external vacuum field, we have found the master equation for the dumping of collective excitations of the system of coupled radiators through the cavity fields. The time-dependence of population for new dressed quasi-levels of energy is obtained solving analytically and numerically the master equation.

description: The Neogene eolian deposits in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are one of the most useful continental deposits for understanding climatic changes. To decipher Late Neogene paleoclimatic changes in the CLP, we present a terrestrial mollusk record spanning the time interval between 7.1 and 3.5 Ma from the western CLP. The results indicate four stages of paleoclimatic evolution: From 7.1 to 6.2 Ma, cold and dry climatic conditions prevailed as evidenced by high values of the total number of cold-aridiphilous (CA) mollusk species and by low values of all of the thermo-humidiphilous (TH) mollusk indices. From 6.2 to 5.4 Ma, the climate remained cold and dry but was not quite as dry as during the preceding phase, as indicated by the dominance of CA mollusks and more TH species and individuals. From 5.4 to 4.4 Ma, a warm and moist climate prevailed, as indicated by high values of the TH species and individuals and by the sparsity of CA species and individuals. From 4.4 to 3.5 Ma, all of the CA indices increased significantly and maintained high values; all of the TH indices exhibit high values from 4.4 to 4.0 Ma, an abrupt decrease from 4.0 Ma and a further increase from 3.7 Ma. The CA species of Cathaica pulveraticula, Cathaica schensiensis, and Pupopsis retrodens are only identified in this stage, indicating that the CA species were diversified and that the climate was becoming drier. Moreover, the CA mollusk group exhibits considerable diversity from 7.1 to 5.4 Ma when a cold, dry climate prevailed; whereas the diversity of the TH group was high during the relatively warm, wet interval from 5.4 to 4.4 Ma. This indicates that variations in the diversity of the CA and TH mollusk groups were closely related to climatic changes during the Late Miocene to Pliocene.

description: Multipartite entanglement is a key resource for quantum computation. It is expected theoretically that entanglement transition may happen for multipartite random quantum states, however, which is still absent experimentally. Here, we report the observation of entanglement transition quantified by negativity using a fully connected 20-qubit superconducting processor. We implement multi-layer pseudo-random circuits to generate pseudo-random pure states of 7 to 15 qubits. Then, we investigate negativity spectra of reduced density matrices obtained by quantum state tomography for 6 qubits.Three different phases can be identified by calculating logarithmic negativities based on the negativity spectra. We observe the phase transitions by changing the sizes of environment and subsystems. The randomness of our circuits can be also characterized by quantifying the distance between the distribution of output bit-string probabilities and Porter-Thomas distribution. Our simulator provides a powerful tool to generate random states and understand the entanglement structure for multipartite quantum systems.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species (Steyskal 1965: 694), junior synonym of Tetanocera elata (Fabricius, 1781) (Rozkošný & Elberg 1984: 190, Rivosecchi 1992a: 246).
REMARKS: Rondani (1868c: 223) described Tetanocera nigricosta from two females: “ Foeminas duas tantum possideo, unam in apennino lectam, alteram in collectione Mussino extantem [I have only two females, one collected in the Apennines, the other is in Mussino’s collection]”, one he had collected and one received from G. Mussino. Verbeke (1964a: 10) unambiguously identified the type (the female labeled as such), which therefore must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5), but did not mention the additional MZUF female numbered “1514” (this additional specimen is a paralectotype).

description: Interest in parallel architectures applied to real time selections is growing in High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. In this paper we describe performance measurements of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) and Intel Many Integrated Core architecture (MIC) when applied to a typical HEP online task: the selection of events based on the trajectories of charged particles. We use as benchmark a scaled-up version of the algorithm used at CDF experiment at Tevatron for online track reconstruction - the SVT algorithm - as a realistic test-case for low-latency trigger systems using new computing architectures for LHC experiment. We examine the complexity/performance trade-off in porting existing serial algorithms to many-core devices. Measurements of both data processing and data transfer latency are shown, considering different I/O strategies to/from the parallel devices.

On stable laws in a one-dimensional intermittent map equipped with a uniform invariant measure

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We investigate ergodic-theoretical quantities and large deviation properties of one-dimensional intermittent maps, that have not only an indifferent fixed point but also a singular structure such that the uniform measure is invariant under the mapping. The probability density of the residence time and the correlation function are found to behave polynomially: $f(m) \sim m^{-(κ+1)}$ and $C(τ) \sim τ^{-(κ-1)}$ $(κ> 1)$. Using the Doeblin-Feller theorems in probability theory, we derive the conjecture that the rescaled fluctuations of the time average of some observable functions obey the stable distribution with the exponent $1 < α\le 2$. Some exponents of the stable distribution are precisely determined by numerical simulations, and the conjecture is verified numerically. The polynomial decay of large deviations is also discussed, and it is found that the entropy function does not exist, because the moment generating function of the stable distribution can not be defined.

description: The process of transforming human labour into machine work has long been on the agenda of the International Labour Organization. The difference is that today, industry 4.0, artificial intelligence and big data are undermining highly technical qualified work as well as “heavy labour”. Therefore, on the ILO's centenary, it becomes relevant to reflect on its roles in the face of the challenges posed by technological innovations. Of these, we highlight the need to reinvent education to increase employability and to create protection mechanisms for those in uninterrupted 24-hour online employment, because summarize the contradictions experienced in the current world of work facing new technologies. The ILO cannot be indifferent to this new focal point: the balance between technological innovations - which certainly bring us enormous benefits - with the new demands of training and legal protection of workers.

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: With the data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we present a magnetic interaction between an isolated coronal hole (CH) and an emerging active region (AR). The AR emerged nearby the CH and interacted with it. Bright loops constantly formed between them, which led to a continuous retreat of the CH boundaries (CHBs). Meanwhile, two coronal dimmings respectively appeared at the negative polarity of the AR and the east boundary of the bright loops, and the AR was partly disturbed. Loop eruptions followed by a flare occurred in the AR. The interaction was also accompanied by many jets and an arc-shaped brightening that appeared to be observational signatures of magnetic reconnection at the CHBs. By comparing the observations with the derived coronal magnetic configuration, it is suggested that the interaction between the CH and the AR excellently fitted in with the model of interchange reconnection. It appears that our observations provide obvious evidences for interchange reconnection.

Universality in conformations and transverse fluctuations of a semi-flexible polymer in a crowded environment

description: We study universal aspects of polymer conformations and transverse fluctuations for a single swollen chain characterized by a contour length $L$ and a persistence length $\ell_p$ in two dimensions (2D) and in three dimensions (3D) in the bulk, as well as in the presence of excluded volume (EV) particles of different sizes occupying different volume fractions. In the absence of the EV particles we extend the previously established universal scaling relations in 2D (A. Huang, A. Bhattacharya, and K. Binder, J. Chem. 140, 214902 (2014)) to include 3D and demonstrate that the scaled end-to-end distance $\langle R_N^2\rangle/(2 L\ell_p)$ and the scaled transverse fluctuation $\sqrt{\langle{l_{\perp}^2}\rangle}/{L}$ as a function of $L/\ell_p$ collapse onto the same master curve, where $\langle R_N^2\rangle$ and $\langle{l_{\perp}^2\rangle}$ are the mean-square end-to-end distance and transverse fluctuations. However, unlike in 2D, where the Gaussian regime is absent due to extreme dominance of the EV interaction, we find the Gaussian regime is present, albeit very narrow in 3D. The scaled transverse fluctuation in the limit $L/\ell_p \ll 1$ is independent of the physical dimension and scales as $\sqrt{\langle{l_{\perp}^2}\rangle}/{L} \sim (L/\ell_p)^{ζ-1}$, where $ζ= 1.5$ is the roughening exponent. For $L/\ell_p \gg 1$ the scaled fluctuation scales as $\sqrt{\langle{l_{\perp}^2}\rangle}/{L} \sim (L/\ell_p)^{ν-1}$, where $ν$ is Flory exponent for the corresponding spatial dimension ($ν_{2D}=0.75$, and $ν_{3D}=0.58$). When EV particles are added into the system, our results indicate that the crowding density either does not or only weakly affects the universal scaling relations. We discuss the implications of these results in living matter by showing the experimental result for a dsDNA onto the master plot.

description: Background/objective(s): Psychotropic medications are commonly prescribed among adults with intellectual disability, often in the absence of a psychiatric diagnosis. The aim of this scop?ing review is to provide an overview of the extent, range, and nature of the available research on medication use and practices and medication management in people with intellectual disability taking psychotropic medications for behaviours that challenge. Materials and methods: A scoping review of research studies (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed design) and Grey Literature (English) was carried out. Databases included: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycINFO, and Scopus. A three-step search strategy was followed, with results screened by two independent reviewers. Data was extracted inde?pendently by two reviewers using a data extraction tool with results mapped and presented using a narrative form supported by tables and diagrams to the research questions. Results: Following the removal of duplicates, records were screened, full texts assessed, and 49 studies were included. Medication outcomes included reduced repetitive, stereotypic, and/or aggressive behaviours. High dosing/prescribing in the setting of an absent/unclear clinical indi?cation was associated with worsening of symptoms for which psychotropics were prescribed. While psychotropics had a role in managing behaviours that challenge, reducing or discontinu?ing psychotropics is sometimes warranted. Study designs were frequently pragmatic resulting in small sample sizes and heterogeneous cohorts receiving different doses and combinations of medications. Access to multidisciplinary teams, guidelines, medication reviews, staff training, and enhanced roles for carers in decision-making were warranted to optimize psychotropic use. Conclusions: These findings can inform prescribing interventions and highlight the need for timely and comprehensive patient outcome data, especially on long-term use of high doses of psychotropics and what happens when reduce or stop prescribing these doses.

Quasiparticle parameterization of meanfields, Galilei invariance and universal conserving response functions

description: The general possible form of meanfield parameterization in a running frame in terms of current, energy and density functionals are examined under the restrictions of Galilean invariance. It is found that only two density-dependent parameters remain which are usually condensed in a position-dependent effective mass and the selfenergy formed by current and mass. The position-dependent mass induces a position-dependent local current which is identified for different nonlinear frames. In a second step the response to an external perturbation and relaxation towards a local equilibrium is investigated. The response function is found to be universal in the sense that the actual parameterization of the local equilibrium does not matter and is eliminated from the theory due to the conservation laws. The explicit form of the response with respect to density, momentum and energy is derived. The compressibility sum rule as well as the sum rule by first and third-order frequency moments are proved analytically to be fulfilled simultaneously. The results are presented for Bose- or Fermi systems in one- two and three dimensions.

description: In this work, we employ classical density functional theory (DFT) to investigate for the first time equilibrium properties of a Heisenberg fluid confined to nanoscopic slit pores of variable width. Within DFT pair correlations are treated at modified mean-field level. We consider three types of walls: hard ones, where the fluid-wall potential becomes infinite upon molecular contact but vanishes otherwise, and hard walls with superimposed short-range attraction with and without explicit orientation dependence. To model the distance dependence of the attractions, we employ a Yukawa potential. The orientation dependence is realized through anchoring of molecules at the substrates, i.e., an energetic discrimination of specific molecular orientations. If the walls are hard or attractive without specific anchoring, the results are “quasi-bulk”-like in that they can be linked to a confinement-induced reduction of the bulk mean field. In these cases, the precise nature of the walls is completely irrelevant at coexistence. Only for specific anchoring nontrivial features arise, because then the fluid-wall interaction potential affects the orientation distribution function in a nontrivial way and thus appears explicitly in the Euler-Lagrange equations to be solved for minima of the grand potential of coexisting phases.
