description: With concerning rise of antibacterial resistance, many bacterial infections such as chronic wound infections are becoming un-treatable. As metals are able to achieve bacterial inhibition via multiple routes, metal-based therapeutics were explored. This thesis was focussed on synthesising novel bismuth(III) and silver(I)-based complexes that demonstrated antibacterial potential against resistant bacteria. Simultaneously, other metals such as sodium(I) and zinc(II) were used to develop hydrogel-based wound dressings that were loaded with antibacterial drugs like gentamicin. Cold atmospheric plasma was applied on these hydrogels to explore cold plasma’s role in triggering release of antibacterial from metal-based hydrogels.

description: Future detectors could be used as a gravitational microscope to probe the horizon structure of merging black holes with gravitational waves. But can this microscope probe the quantum regime? We study this interesting question and find that (i) the error in the distance resolution is exponentially sensitive to errors in the Love number, and (ii) the uncertainty principle of quantum gravity forces a fundamental resolution limit. Thus, although the gravitational microscope can distinguish between black holes and other exotic objects, it is resolution limited well above the Planckian scale.

description: It is known that spectral properties of the Fabry - Perot interferometer (FPI) depend on the spatial characteristics of the incident radiation. This paper proposes a general method for taking this dependence into account, based on the decomposition of the incident field into the angular spectrum of plane waves, which are the FPI eigenfunctions. In the scalar approximation, the angular-frequency transfer function and the point-spread function (Green function) of the FPI are calculated, which enables to relate the spatial coherence functions of the incident and transmitted radiation and to derive an expression for the output intensity I(r, k) and for the integral transmittance P(k) depending on the wavenumber of the incident monochromatic radiation k. In the resulting expressions, I(r, k) is completely determined by the Fourier transform of the input coherence function, and P(k) is determined by the angular power spectrum (APS) of the incident radiation. For beams of small divergence and high-quality FPIs, simplified formulas have been obtained that allow, in the first approximation, for the dependence of the FPI parameters on the angle of incidence and on the radiation wavelength. Analysis of the expressions obtained makes it possible to clarify an exact meaning of the well-known regularities in the distortions of the FPI transmission band associated with the incident beam deviation from the plane wave (shift to the shortwave region, broadening, reduction of the maximum transmittance and the appearance of asymmetry). As examples, calculations of the integral transmittance for three types of APS, corresponding to Gaussian and conical beams, and the output intensity distribution I(r, k) for the input beam with a Gaussian APS are performed. Results are consistent with other theoretical and experimental works.

description: The KKLT scenario in a warped throat, if consistent, provides a concrete counterexample to both the AdS scale separation and the dS swampland conjectures. First, we define and analyze the relevant effective field theory for the conifold modulus and the overall Kaehler modulus that both have exponentially small masses. The scalar potential still admits KKLT-like AdS and dS minima. Second, we critically analyze the reliability of the employed Wilsonian effective action by evaluating the masses of light modes localized in the warped throat. The resulting mass spectrum is discussed with respect to the swampland distance conjecture. We find the recently observed emergent nature of the latter not only at large distance points but also at the conifold point motivating a general extension of it. In this respect, KKLT and trans-Planckian field distance are on equal footing. It is pointed out that the reliability of the KKLT minimum will depend on how this emergent behavior is interpreted.

description: For a long time, the Dirichlet process has been the gold standard discrete random measure in Bayesian nonparametrics. The Pitman--Yor process provides a simple and mathematically tractable generalization, allowing for a very flexible control of the clustering behaviour. Two commonly used representations of the Pitman--Yor process are the stick-breaking process and the Chinese restaurant process. The former is a constructive representation of the process which turns out very handy for practical implementation, while the latter describes the partition distribution induced. However, the usual proof of the connection between them is indirect and involves measure theory. We provide here an elementary proof of Pitman--Yor's Chinese Restaurant process from its stick-breaking representation.

description: A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of associated $q$-difference equations points to a connection with a mild extension of Gordon's combinatorial generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities (\emph{Amer. J. Math.}, 83 (1961), 393--399). This, in turn, allows the formulation of natural combinatorial interpretations of many of the identities in Slater's list (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc.

description: We show tunable strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) over a wide range of thicknesses in epitaxial ferrimagnetic insulator Eu3Fe5O12 (EuIG) and Tb3Fe5O12 (TbIG) thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition on Gd3Ga5O12 with (001) and (111) orientations, respectively. The PMA field is determined by measuring the induced anomalous Hall loops in Pt deposited on the garnet films. Due to positive magnetostriction constants, compressive in-plane strain induces a PMA field as large as 32.9 kOe for 4 nm thick EuIG and 66.7 kOe for 5 nm thick TbIG at 300 K, and relaxes extremely slowly as the garnet film thickness increases. In bilayers consisting of Pt and EuIG or Pt and TbIG, robust PMA is revealed by squared anomalous Hall hysteresis loops in Pt, the magnitude of which appears to be only related to the net magnetic moment of iron sublattices. Furthermore, the magnetostriction constant is found to be 2.7x10^(-5) for EuIG and 1.35x10^(-5) for TbIG, comparable with the values for bulk crystals. Our results demonstrate a general approach of tailoring magnetic anisotropy of rare earth iron garnets by utilizing modulated strain via epitaxial growth.

K(T) is shown to follow a simple, phononic T^3 dependence at the lowest temperatures for both current directions, with a negligible linear, quasiparticle contribution. This observation is in marked contrast with behavior reported in optimally doped cuprates, and implies that extended zero-energy (or low energy) low-energy quasiparticles are absent in YBa2Cu4O8 at low temperatures.

description: Modern observations of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies detect a variety of atomic and molecular species. The goal is to connect these observations to the astrochemical properties of the ISM. 3D hydro-chemical simulations attempt this but due to extreme computational cost, they have to rely on simplified chemical networks and are bound to individual case studies. We present an alternative approach which models the ISM at larger scales by an ensemble of pre-calculated 1D thermo-chemical photodissociation region (PDR) calculations that determine the abundance and excitation of atomic and molecular species. We adopt lognormal distributions of column density (\avpdf s) for which each column density is linked to a volume density as derived by hydrodynamical simulations. We consider two lognormal {\avpdf}s: a diffuse, low density medium with average visual extinction of $\overline{{\rm A}_V}=0.75\,{\rm mag}$ and dispersion of $σ=0.5$ and a denser giant molecular cloud with $\overline{{\rm A}_V}=4\,{\rm mag}$ and $σ=0.8$. We treat the UV radiation field, cosmic-ray ionization rate and metallicity as free parameters. We find that the low density medium remains fully HI- and CII-dominated under all explored conditions. The denser cloud remains almost always molecular (i.e. H$_2$-dominated) while its carbon phase (CO, CI and CII) is sensitive to the above free parameters, implying that existing methods of tracing H$_2$-rich gas may require adjustments depending on environment. Our numerical framework can be used to estimate the PDR properties of large ISM regions and quantify trends with different environmental parameters as it is fast, covers wide parameter space, and is flexible for extensions.

description: The facilitation of proper blood flow through the heart depends on proper function of heart valve components, and alterations to any component can lead to heart disease or failure. Comprehension of these valvular diseases is reliant on thorough characterization of healthy heart valve structures for use in computational models. Previously, computational models have treated these leaflet structures as a structurally and mechanically homogenous material, which may not be an accurate description of leaflet mechanical response. In this study, we aimed to characterize the mechanics of the heart valve leaflet as a structurally heterogenous material. Specifically, porcine mitral valve and tricuspid valve anterior leaflets were sectioned into six regions and biaxial mechanical tests with various loading ratios and stress-relaxation test were performed on each regional tissue sample. Three main findings from this study were

description: K-nearest neighbor (kNN) search has wide applications in many areas, including data mining, machine learning, statistics and many applied domains. Inspired by the success of ensemble methods and the flexibility of tree-based methodology, we propose random projection forests (rpForests), for kNN search. rpForests finds kNNs by aggregating results from an ensemble of random projection trees with each constructed recursively through a series of carefully chosen random projections. rpForests achieves a remarkable accuracy in terms of fast decay in the missing rate of kNNs and that of discrepancy in the kNN distances. rpForests has a very low computational complexity. The ensemble nature of rpForests makes it easily run in parallel on multicore or clustered computers; the running time is expected to be nearly inversely proportional to the number of cores or machines. We give theoretical insights by showing the exponential decay of the probability that neighboring points would be separated by ensemble random projection trees when the ensemble size increases. Our theory can be used to refine the choice of random projections in the growth of trees, and experiments show that the effect is remarkable.

description: We report Abrikosov vortex nucleation in Pt/Nb/Ni80Fe20/Nb/Pt proximity-coupled structures under oblique ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) that turns out to be detrimental to superconducting spin pumping. By measuring an out-of-plane field-angle θH dependence and comparison with Pt-absent control samples, we show that as θH increases, the degree of enhancement (suppression) of spin pumping efficiency in the superconducting state for the Pt-present (Pt-absent) sample diminishes and it reverts to the normal state value at θH = 90°. This can be explained in terms of a substantial out-of-plane component of the resonance field for the Ni80Fe20 layer (with in-plane magnetization anisotropy and high aspect ratio) that approaches the upper critical field of the Nb, turning a large fraction of the singlet superconductor volume into the normal state.

description: The non-equilibrium electron-positron-photon plasma thermalization process is studied using relativistic Boltzmann solver, taking into account quantum corrections both in non-relativistic and relativistic cases. Collision integrals are computed from exact QED matrix elements for all binary and triple interactions in the plasma. It is shown that in non-relativistic case (temperatures $k_B T\leq 0.3 m_e c^2$) binary interaction rates dominate over triple ones, resulting in establishment of the kinetic equilibrium prior to final relaxation towards the thermal equilibrium, in agreement with the previous studies. On the contrary, in relativistic case (final temperatures $k_B T\geq 0.3 m_e c^2$) triple interaction rates are fast enough to prevent the establishment of kinetic equilibrium. It is shown that thermalization process strongly depends on quantum degeneracy in initial state, but does not depend on plasma composition.

description: Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology was originally developed in 2006. Essentially, it converts somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells by transiently expressing a few transcriptional factors. Once generated, these iPSCs can differentiate into all the cell types of our body, theoretically, which has attracted great attention for clinical research including disease pathobiology studies. Could this technology then become an additional research or diagnostic tool widely available to practicing pathologists? Here we summarize progress in iPSC research toward disease pathobiology studies, its future potential, and remaining problems from a pathologist’s perspective. A particular focus will be on introducing the effort to recapitulate disease-related morphological changes through three-dimensional culture of stem cells such as organoid differentiation.

description: Except for 1H, 2H, 3He, 4He, and 7Li, originating from the Big Bang, all heavier elements are made in stellar evolution and stellar explosions. Nuclear physics, and in many cases nuclear structure far from stability, enters in a crucial way. Therefore, we examine in this review the role of nuclear physics in astrophysics in general and in particular how it affects stellar events and the resulting nucleosynthesis. Stellar modeling addresses four major aspects: 1. energy generation and nucleosynthesis, 2. energy transport via conduction, radiation or possibly convection, 3. hydrodynamics/hydrostatics, and finally 4. thermodynamic properties of the matter involved. Nuclear Physics enters via nuclear reaction cross sections and nuclear structure (affecting the composition changes and nuclear energy generation), neutrino-nucleon and neutrino-nucleus cross sections (affecting neutrino opacities and transport), and e.g. the equation of state at and beyond nuclear densities which creates a relation between the nuclear many-body problem and the hydrodynamic response like pressure and entropy. In the following we review these four topics by highlighting the role and impact of nuclear physics in each of these aspects of stellar modeling. The main emphasis is put on the connection to element synthesis.

We study the problem for a particular (spin) symmetry of the Dirac Hamiltonian. After a qualitative analyse, we study the results for some special cases such as Dirac-Coulomb problem in the existence of the pseudoscalar interaction, and the "pure" Coulomb problem by discussing some points about pseudospin and spin symmetries in one dimension. We also plot some figures representing the dependence of the energy on quantum number, and potential parameters.

description: One can confine the two-dimensional electron gas in semiconductor heterostructures electrostatically or by etching techniques such that a small electron island is formed. These man-made ``artificial atoms'' provide the experimental realization of a text-book example of many-particle physics: a finite number of quantum particles in a trap. Much effort was spent on making such "quantum dots" smaller and going from the mesoscopic to the quantum regime. Far-reaching analogies to the physics of atoms, nuclei or metal clusters were obvious from the very beginning: The concepts of shell structure and Hund's rules were found to apply -- just as in real atoms! In this Letter, we report the discovery that electrons confined in ring-shaped quantum dots form rather rigid molecules with antiferromagnetic order in the ground state. This can be seen best from an analysis of the rotational and vibrational excitations.

description: Integrated photonics is increasing in importance for compact, robust, and scalable enabling quantum technologies. This is particularly interesting for developing quantum communication networks, where resources need to be deployed in the field. We exploit photonic chip-based $ \rm Si_3 N_4$ ring microresonators for the generation of photon pairs with low-loss, high-noise suppression and coincidence rates of $80\times 10^3\,$s$^{-1}$. A simple photonic noise characterisation technique is presented that distinguishes linear and nonlinear contributions that is useful for system design and optimisation. We then demonstrate an all-fibre $750\,$MHz clock-rate sequential Time-Bin entanglement scheme with raw interference visibilities $>\,98\,\%$.
Ordering in magnetic films with surface anisotropy

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Effects of the surface exchange anisotropy on ordering of ferromagnetic films are studied for the exactly solvable classical spin-vector model with D \to \infty components. For small surface anisotropy η'_s << 1 (defined relative to the exchange interaction), the shift of T_c in a film consisting of N >> 1 layers behaves as T_c^{\rm bulk} - T_c(N) ~ (1/N)\ln(1/η'_s) in three dimensions. The finite-size-scaling limit T_c^{\rm bulk} - T_c(N) \propto 1/(η'^{1/2}N^2), which is realized for the model with a bulk anisotropy η' << 1 in the range Nη'^{1/2} >~ 1, never appears for the model with the pure surface anisotropy. Here for N\exp(-1/η'_s) >~ 1 in three dimensions, film orders at a temperature above T_c^{\rm bulk} (the surface phase transition). In the semi-infinite geometry, the surface phase transition occurs for whatever small values of η'_s (i.e., the special phase transition corresponds to T_c^{\rm bulk}) in dimensions three and lower.

description: We prove a gluing formula for the families Seiberg-Witten invariants of families of $4$-manifolds obtained by fibrewise connected sum. Our formula expresses the families Seiberg-Witten invariants of such a connected sum family in terms of the ordinary Seiberg-Witten invariants of one of the summands, under certain assumptions on the families. We construct some variants of the families Seiberg-Witten invariants and prove the gluing formula also for these variants. One variant incorporates a twist of the families moduli space using the charge conjugation symmetry of the Seiberg-Witten equations. The other variant is an equivariant Seiberg-Witten invariant of smooth group actions. We consider several applications of the gluing formula including: obstructions to smooth isotopy of diffeomorpihsms, computation of the mod $2$ Seiberg-Witten invariants of spin structures, relations between mod $2$ Seiberg-Witten invariants of $4$-manifolds and obstructions to the existence of invariant metrics of positive scalar curvature for smooth group actions on $4$-manifolds.

description: Beta Pictoris is a young planetary system surrounded by a debris disk of dust and gas. The gas source of this disk could be exocomets (or 'falling and evaporating bodies', FEBs), which produce refractory elements (Mg, Ca, Fe) through sublimation of dust grains at several tens of stellar radii. Nearly 1700 high resolution spectra of Beta Pictoris have been obtained from 2003 to 2017 using the HARPS spectrograph. In paper I, we showed that a very high S/N ratio allows the detection of many weak Fe I lines in more than ten excited levels, and we derived the physical characteristics of the iron gas in the disk. The measured temperature of the gas (~1300 K) suggested that it is produced by evaporation of grains at about 0.3 au (38 Rstar) from the star. Here we describe the yearly variations of the column densities of all Fe I components (from both ground and excited levels). The drop in the Fe I ground level column density after 2011 coincides with a drop in Fe I excited levels column density, as well as in the Ca II doublet and a ground level Ca I line at the same epoch. All drops are compatible together with photoionisation-recombination equilibrium and Beta Pic like relative abundances, in a medium at 1300 K and at 0.3 au from Beta Pictoris. Interestingly, this warm medium does not correlate with the numerous exocomets in the circumstellar environnement of this young star.

description: We discuss the excess conductivity above Tc due to renormalized order-parameter fluctuations in YBCO at microwave frequencies. We calculate the effects of the uniaxial anisotropy on the renormalized fluctuations in the Hartree approximation, extending the isotropic theory developed by Dorsey [Phys. Rev. B 43, 7575 (1991)]. Measurements of the real part of the microwave resistivity at 24 and 48 GHz and of the dc resistivity are performed on different YBCO films. The onset of the superconducting transition and the deviation from the linear temperature behavior above Tc can be fully accounted for by the extended theory. According to the theoretical calculation here presented, a departure from gaussian toward renormalized fluctuations is observed. Very consistent values of the fundamental parameters (critical temperature, coherence lenghts, penetration depth) of the superconducting state are obtained.

Non-thermal emission from the interaction of magnetized exoplanets with the wind of their host star

description: We study the non-thermal emission from the interaction between magnetized Jupiter-like exoplanets and the wind from their host star. The supersonic motion of planets through the wind forms a bow shock that accelerates electrons which produces non-thermal radiation across a broad wavelength range. We discuss three wind mass loss rates: $\dot{M}_{\rm w}\sim10^{-14}$, $10^{-9}$, $10^{-6}\,M_{\odot}\,\rm yr^{-1}$ corresponding to solar-type, T Tauri and massive O/B type stars, respectively. We find that the expected radio synchrotron emission from a Jupiter-like planet is detectable by the Jansky Very Large Array and the Square Kilometer Array at ~1-10 GHz out to a distance ~ 100 pc, whereas the infrared emission is detectable by the James Webb Space Telescope out to a similar distance. Inverse Compton scattering of the stellar radiation results in X-ray emission detectable by Chandra X-ray Observatory out to ~ 150 pc. Finally, we apply our model to the upper limit constraints on V380 Tau, the first star-hot Jupiter system observed in radio wavelength. Our bow shock model provides constraints on the magnetic field, the interplanetary medium and the non-thermal emission efficiency in V380 Tau.

Path-integral formulation of backward and umklapp scattering for 1d spinless fermions

description: We present a (1+1)-dimensional fermionic QFT with non-local couplings between currents. This model describes an ensemble of spinless fermions interacting through forward, backward and umklapp scattering processes. We express the vacuum to vacuum functional in terms of a non trivial fermionic determinant. Using path-integral methods we find a bosonic representation for this determinant. Thus we obtain an effective action depending on three scalar fields, two of which correspond to the physical collective excitations whereas the third one is an auxiliary field that is left to be integrated by means of an approximate technique.

description: A model for ionic solutions with an attractive short-range pair interaction between the ions is presented. The short-range interaction is accounted for by adding a quadratic non-local term to the Poisson-Boltzmann free energy. The model is used to study solvent effects in a planar electric double layer. The counter-ion density is found to increase near the charged surface, as compared with the Poisson-Boltzmann theory, and to decrease at larger distances. The ion density profile is studied analytically in the case where the ion distribution near the plate is dominated only by counter-ions. Further away from the plate the density distribution can be described using a Poisson-Boltzmann theory with an effective surface charge that is smaller than the actual one.
