description: New physics in the lepton sector may account for neutrino masses, affect electroweak precision observables, induce charged-lepton flavour violation, and shift dipole moments. The low-energy predictions of different models are most conveniently compared within the formalism of effective field theory. To illustrate the benefits of this approach, we derive the Wilson coefficients for a set of representative models: the fermionic seesaw mechanisms (type I and III), the Zee model, and a minimal leptoquark model. In each case, the Weinberg and the dipole operators have qualitatively different origins. In parallel, we present the model-independent constraints on the Wilson coefficients coming from various lepton observables. We then show that it becomes straightforward to understand the allowed parameter space for each model, and to discriminate between them. The Zee and leptoquark models are suitable to address the muon $g-2$ anomaly. We also confront the models with the anomalies in the W-boson mass and semileptonic $B$-meson decays.

description: Circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) experiments on superconducting qubit systems typically employ radiation shields coated in photon absorbing materials to achieve high qubit coherence and low microwave resonator losses. In this work, we present preliminary results on the performance of Vantablack as a novel infrared (IR) shielding material for cQED systems. We compare the coherence properties and residual excited state population (or effective qubit temperature) of a single-junction transmon qubit housed in a shield coated with a standard epoxy-based IR absorbing material, i.e. Berkeley Black, to the coherence and effective temperature of the same qubit in a shield coated in Vantablack. Based on a statistical analysis of multiple qubit coherence measurements we find that the performance of the radiation shield coated with Vantablack is comparable in performance to the standard coating. However, we find that in the Vantablack coated shield the qubit has a higher effective temperature. These results indicate that improvements are likely required to optimize the performance of Vantablack as an IR shielding material for superconducting qubit experiments and we discuss possible routes for such improvements. Finally we describe possible future experiments to more precisely quantify the performance of Vantablack to improve the coherences of more complex cQED systems.

description: Paramagnons are the collective modes that govern the spin response of nearly magnetic conductors. In some cases they mediate electron pairing leading to superconductivity. This scenario may occur in 2H-NbSe$_2$ monolayers, that feature spin-valley coupling on account of spin-orbit interactions and their lack of inversion symmetry. Here we explore spin anisotropy of paramagnons both for non-centrosymmetric Kane-Mele-Hubbard models for 2H-NbSe$_2$ monolayers described with a DFT-derived tight-binding model. In the infinite wavelength limit we find spatially uniform paramagnons with energies around $1$~meV that feature a colossal off-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, with quenched transversal spin response. At finite wave vectors, longitudinal and transverse channels reverse roles: XY fluctuations dominate within a significant portion of the Brillouin zone. Our results show that 2H-NbSe$_2$ is close to a Coulomb-driven in-plane (XY) spin density wave instability.

description: Several U.S. states with high housing costs have recently adopted laws intended to promote infill development. These new laws expand state agencies’ supervisory responsibilities to ensure that local governments comply with state mandates. Effective administration of these laws will require state agencies to accurately estimate the amount of new housing that might be created and to target review to the jurisdictions that are failing to meet the relevant requirements. Here we present quantitative tools both for prioritizing review of local plans and zoning ordinances and for estimating future housing development. We applied the tools to the implementation of California laws requiring local governments to amend their zoning ordinances to allow accessory dwelling units on parcels zoned for detached single-family housing development. We provide computer code, written in the open-source statistical computing language R, that implements these tools. Although we present off-the-shelf tools, our proposed tools should supplement other regulatory techniques rather than serving as a substitute. Requirements for local governments to allow infill development should be accompanied by mandates for data collection. With good data, state agencies can use open-source statistical software to create quantitative measures that can help estimate future housing production and set priorities for reviewing local plans and zoning ordinances.

description: In this work, we investigate the possibility of having scale invariant (SI) standard model (SM) extensions, where the light CP-even scalar matches the SM-like Higgs instead of being a light dilaton. After deriving the required conditions for this scenario, we show that the radiative corrections that give rise to the Higgs mass can trigger the scalar mixing to the experimentally allowed values. In addition, we discuss the constraints on the parameters space that makes the CP-even scalars properties in a good agreement with all the recent ATLAS and CMS measurements. We illustrate this scenario by considering the SI-scotogenic model as an example, while imposing all the theoretical and experimental constraints. We show that the model is viable and leads to possible modifications of the di-Higgs signatures at current/future with respect to the SM.

description: Communicative planners have long recognized the importance of communication networks for planning outcomes. However, the description of such networks has remained largely static, portraying a network as either positive (collaborative) or negative (power penetrated), which limits the understanding of communication patterns and power dynamics throughout the planning process. An incomplete understanding of complex communication patterns also hinders the ability of planners to mediate between stakeholders in the communication process to achieve beneficial outcomes. Using social network analysis, we filled this research gap by analyzing an entire collection of email exchanges involving key decision makers on an economic development project in Tallahassee (FL) for 6 years. We conclude that this actual communication network fell short of the ideal set by planners: a collaborative network with diverse and interdependent actors engaged in authentic dialogue. Importantly, the actual pattern swayed further away from this ideal when confronted with major financial decisions, suggesting that the weight of certain decisions alters communication networks. We also found that city commissioners were the most engaged actors, indicating that political power established through the electoral process played a more significant role in the communication network. Planners, on the contrary, played a limited bridging role. Planners must pay closer attention to the communication network and dynamics in the planning and policy implementation process and more effectively play the role of a critical friend to help form truly collaborative networks. The use of social network analysis can help reveal the structure of the network and the position of key actors in real time and guide the deliberate actions of planners. In addition, institutional procedures, such as email transparency, are needed to alleviate the informational power imbalance.

description: Engineering optical emission from two dimensional, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials such as Tungsten disulphide (WS2) has implications in creating and understanding nanophotonic sources. One of the challenges in controlling the optical emission from 2D materials is to achieve narrow angular spread using a simple photonic geometry. In this paper, we study how the photoluminescence of a monolayer WS2 can be controlled when coupled to film coupled microsphere dielectric antenna. Specifically, by employing Fourier plane microscopy and spectroscopic techniques, we quantify the wavevector distribution in the momentum space. As a result, we show beaming of the WS2 photoluminescence with angular divergence of θ1/2 = 4.6°. Furthermore, the experimental measurements have been supported by three-dimensional numerical simulations. We envisage that the discussed results can be generalized to a variety of nanophotonic 2D materials, and can be harnessed in nonlinear and quantum technology.

description: Prestrained elastic networks arise in a number of biological and technological systems ranging from the cytoskeleton of cells to tensegrity structures. To understand the response of such a network as a function of the prestrain, we consider a minimal model in one dimension. We do this by considering a chain (1D network) of elastic springs upon which a random, zero mean, finite variance prestrain is imposed. Numerical simulations and analytical predictions quantify the magnitude of the contraction as a function of the variance of the prestrain, and show that the chain always shrinks. To test these predictions, we vary the topology of the chain and consider more complex connectivity and show that our results are relatively robust to these changes.

description: We study the dynamics of charge and energy currents in a Coulomb-coupled double quantum dot system, when only one of the two dots is adiabatically driven by a time-periodic gate that modulates its energy level. Although the Coulomb coupling does not allow for electron transfer between the dots, it enables an exchange of energy between them which induces a time variation of charge in the undriven dot. We describe the effect of electron interactions at low temperature using a time-dependent slave-spin 1 formulation within mean-field that efficiently captures the main effects of the strong correlations as well as the dynamical nature of the driving. We find that the currents induced in the undriven dot due to the mutual friction between inter-dot electrons are same order than those generated in the adiabatically driven dot. Interestingly, up to 43$\%$ percent of the energy injected by the ac sources can be transferred from the driven dot to the undriven one. We complete our analysis by studying the impact of the Coulomb interaction on the resistance of the quantum dot that is driven by the gate.

description: Large language models, such as ChatGPT, have recently risen to prominence in producing human-like conversation and assisting with various tasks, particularly for analyzing high-dimensional textual materials. Because planning researchers and practitioners often need to evaluate planning documents that are long and complex, a first-ever possible question has emerged: Can ChatGPT evaluate plans? In this study we addressed this question by leveraging ChatGPT to evaluate the quality of plans and compare the results with those conducted by human coders. Through the evaluation of 10 climate change plans, we discovered that ChatGPT’s evaluation results coincided reasonably well (with an average of 68%) with those from the traditional content analysis approach. We further scrutinized the differences by conducting a more in-depth analysis of the results from ChatGPT and manual evaluation to uncover what might have contributed to the variance in results. Our findings indicate that ChatGPT struggled to comprehend planning-specific jargon, yet it could reduce human errors by capturing details in complex planning documents. Finally, we provide insights into leveraging this cutting-edge technology in future planning research and practice. ChatGPT cannot be used to replace humans in plan quality evaluation yet. However, it is an effective tool to complement human coders to minimize human errors by identifying discrepancies and fact-checking machine-generated responses. ChatGPT generally cannot understand planning jargon, so planners wanting to use this tool should use extra caution when planning terminologies are present in their prompts. Creating effective prompts for ChatGPT is an iterative process that requires specific instructions.
Sign inversion in the lateral van der Waals force

description: We consider a single slight protuberance in a perfectly conducting plane, and investigate the van der Waals (vdW) interaction between this surface and a neutral polarizable particle. When the protuberance is sufficiently smooth, so that the proximity force approximation (PFA) is well applicable, for a fixed distance of the particle from the plane, the lateral vdW force always points to the protuberance. On the other hand, by making calculations valid beyond the PFA, we show that nontrivial geometric effects arise when we consider an anisotropic particle, and manipulate the ratio between the characteristic widths of the protuberance and the fixed particle-plane distance. We predict that, as this ratio decreases, a sign inversion in the lateral vdW force can occur, in the sense that, instead of pointing to the protuberance, in certain situations the lateral force points to the opposite direction. Moreover, we show that even when such a sign inversion in the lateral vdW force does not occur for a single protuberance, it can arise when two or more protuberances are put together, distinguishing between sign inversions originated by individual or collective effects. In addition, we show that all these effects have their classical counterparts, involving a neutral particle with a permanent electric dipole moment. The prediction of such geometric effects on the lateral vdW force may be relevant for a better controlling of the interaction between a particle and a corrugated surface in classical and quantum physics.

description: In $T$*-type cuprate oxides with five oxygen coordination, little is known about the relationship between the spin correlations and dope carriers. We performed $^{139}$La-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrical resistivity measurements on an as-sintered (AS) and oxidation annealed (OA) polycrystalline $T$*-type La$_{0.86}$Eu$_{0.86}$S$_{0.28}$CuO$_4$ (LESCO) to investigate its magnetic and superconducting (SC) properties. Upon cooling, the NMR spectrum of AS LESCO broadened below 3 K, at which the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ against the temperature exhibited a maximum, thereby indicating the appearance of static magnetism. The temperature dependence of $1/T_1$ between 3 K and 20 K was similar to that of the resistivity displaying the semiconducting behavior. Furthermore, the energy scale of the transport gap and spin-dynamics estimated was found to be comparable. These results suggest a close connection between the mobility of the doped carriers and low-energy spin-dynamics, as reported for lightly doped $T$-type La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$. In the OA SC sample, we confirmed the absence of a magnetic order and the Korringa relation above 10 K. Therefore, in the $T$*-type LESCO with $x$ = 0.28, the magnetic state coupled with holes drastically turns to the weakly correlated metallic state by oxidation annealing.

description: Twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides are ideal platforms to study flat-band phenomena. In this paper, we investigate flat-band plasmons in the hole-doped twisted bilayer MoS$_2$ (tb-MoS$_2$) by employing a full tight-binding model and the random phase approximation. When considering lattice relaxations in tb-MoS$_2$, the flat band is not separated from remote valence bands, which makes the contribution of interband transitions in transforming the plasmon dispersion and energy significantly different. In particular, low-damped and quasi-flat plasmons emerge if we only consider intraband transitions in the doped flat band, whereas a $\sqrt q$ plasmon dispersion emerges if we also take into account interband transitions between the flat band and remote bands. Furthermore, the plasmon energies are tunable with twist angles and doping levels. However, in a rigid sample that suffers no lattice relaxations, lower-energy quasi-flat plasmons and higher-energy interband plasmons can coexist. For rigid tb-MoS$_2$ with a high doping level, strongly enhanced interband transitions quench the quasi-flat plasmons. Based on the lattice relaxation and doping effects, we conclude that two conditions, the isolated flat band and a properly hole-doping level, are essential for observing the low-damped and quasi-flat plasmon mode in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides. We hope that our study on flat-band plasmons can be instructive for studying the possibility of plasmon-mediated superconductivity in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides in the future.

description: Minimum parking requirements (MPRs) have been criticized for creating excess parking, degrading urban form, reducing housing affordability, and encouraging automobile dependency. As a result, many American cities have begun to reduce or remove parking minimums in some or all areas. However, existing research on the effects of these policy changes has focused only on the analysis of parking supply. We investigated the broader results of parking reform at a small university city in the Midwest that removed MPRs for downtown and university districts. Our quasi-experimental research found that onsite parking construction in the deregulated zones decreased dramatically, from 108% of the earlier requirement to only 46%, clearly indicating that MPRs had enforced oversupply of parking. Of the 43 new major developments built in the 7 years following the parking reform, 84% provided less parking than previous requirements, including eight developments with zero parking. The reduction in onsite parking led to more efficient use of existing parking stock, both public and private. Furthermore, the removal of MPRs, combined with other policies, helped improve urban form by increasing housing density, promoting active building frontages, and guiding a growing share of new developments to transit-rich and walkable districts. American cities stand to benefit greatly by relaxing or repealing parking requirements. Cities that expect resistance to parking reforms can take a targeted and incremental approach, first removing MPRs in denser areas such as downtowns, transit corridors, and other prime districts where an oversupply of parking is typically being reinforced by uniform MPRs. The case of Champaign (IL) demonstrates that a targeted district-scale reform is likely to encounter minimal opposition.

description: This qualitative research study explored responses to trafficking in persons. Fifty-five (n = 55) interviews were collected and data were analyzed using qualitative iterative processes. The social worker and the utilization of social work perspectives provided a strong and effective framework for service delivery and effective interdisciplinary collaboration. The ecological, strengths-based, and victim-center approaches were a benefit to survivors and professionals specifically around coordinated efforts, trust-building, and increased cultural competence. Findings also support that individuals who are trafficked have unique needs and social workers’ theoretical and practice modalities are well suited to respond to and coordinate these distinct circumstances.

description: It is crucially important to estimate unknown parameters in earth system models by integrating observation and numerical simulation. For many applications in earth system sciences, an optimization method which allows parameters to temporally change is required. In the present paper, an efficient and practical method to estimate the time-varying parameters of relatively low dimensional models is presented. In the newly proposed method, called Hybrid Offline Online Parameter Estimation with Particle Filtering (HOOPE-PF), an inflation method to maintain the spread of ensemble members in a sampling-importance-resampling particle filter is improved using a non-parametric posterior probabilistic distribution of time-invariant parameters obtained by comparing simulated and observed climatology. The HOOPE-PF outperforms the original sampling-importance-resampling particle filter in synthetic experiments with toy models and a real-data experiment with a conceptual hydrological model especially when the ensemble size is small. The advantage of HOOPE-PF is that its performance is not greatly affected by the size of perturbation to be added to ensemble members to maintain their spread while it is critically important to get the optimal performance in the original particle filter. Since HOOPE-PF is the extension of the existing particle filter which has been extensively applied to many earth system models such as land, ecosystem, hydrology, and paleoclimate reconstruction, the HOOPE-PF can be applied to improve the simulation of these earth system models by considering time-varying model parameters.

description: Irregular, unidirectional surface water waves incident on model ice in an ice tank are used as a physical model of ocean surface wave interactions with sea ice. Results are given for an experiment consisting of three tests, starting with a continuous ice cover and in which the incident wave steepness increases between tests. The incident waves range from causing no breakup of the ice cover to breakup of the full length of ice cover. Temporal evolution of the ice edge, breaking front and mean floe sizes are reported. Floe size distributions in the different tests are analysed. The evolution of the wave spectrum with distance into the ice-covered water is analysed in terms of changes of energy content, mean wave period and spectral bandwidth relative to their incident counterparts, and pronounced differences are found between the tests. Further, an empirical attenuation coefficient is derived from the measurements and shown to have a power-law dependence on frequency comparable to that found in field measurements. Links between wave properties and ice breakup are discussed.

description: The performances of various configurations of InGaN solar cells are compared using nextnano software. Here we compare a flat base graded wall GaN/InGaN structure, with an InxGa1-xN well with sharp GaN contact layers, and an InxGa1-xN structure with InxGa1-xN contact layers, i.e. a homojunction. The doping in the graded structures are the result of polarization doping at each edge (10 nm from each side) due to the graded structure, while the well structures are intentionally doped at each edge (10 nm from each side) equal to the doping concentration in the graded structure. The solar cells are characterized by their open-circuit voltage, V_oc, short circuit current, I_sc, solar efficiency, and energy band diagram. The results indicate that an increase in I_sc and efficiency results from increasing both the fixed and the maximum indium compositions, while the V_oc decreases. The maximum efficiency is obtained for the InGaN well with 60% In.

description: Problem, research strategy, and findings: Gentrification is often described as affluent White populations revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods and displacing lower-income ethnic/racial residents. However, there is limited research on gentrification led by middle- and upper-class ethnic/racial minorities, which I propose calling gentrification of color. I reviewed 46 qualitative and quantitative studies on gentrification of color in U.S. cities from 1960 to 2021 and found a range of phenomena in terms of ethnicity/race, profiles, locations, preceding policies, and consequences of gentrification of color. These studies highlighted both solidarity and tensions within the same ethnic/racial groups as a result of gentrification. Gentrification of color presents both challenges and opportunities for minorities’ cultural inclusion. In addition, my study emphasized the role of policies enabling gentrification of color and the lack of affordable housing policies to address its consequences. The findings can encourage urban planners, policymakers, and scholars to adopt a policy approach that acknowledges the complex intersectionality of race/ethnicity and class. Takeaway for practice: I urge urban planners and policymakers to incorporate the intersectionality of race/ethnicity and class into their approach to gentrification. On one hand, it is important for urban planners to collaborate with gentrifiers of color to foster culturally inclusive urban development. However, it is equally crucial for urban planners to acknowledge that issues such as displacement of lower-income individuals, intra-ethnic class disparities, and conflicting interests may be concealed under the notion of ethnic solidarity. Therefore, urban planning experts and policymakers should prioritize policies that support economically disadvantaged residents, such as affordable housing, while actively seeking their input and perspectives in municipal decision-making processes.

description: Transonic buffet refers to the self-sustained periodic motion of shock waves observed in transonic flows over wings and limits the flight envelope of aircraft. Based on the boundary layer characteristics at the shock foot, buffet has been classified as laminar or turbulent and the mechanisms underlying the two have been proposed to be different (Dandois et al., 2018, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 18, pp. 156-178). The effect of various flow parameters (freestream Mach and Reynolds numbers and sweep and incidence angles) on laminar transonic buffet on an infinite wing (Dassault Aviation's supercritical V2C aerofoil) is reported here by performing Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) for a wide range of parameters. A spectral proper orthogonal decomposition identified the presence of a low-frequency mode associated with buffet and high-frequency wake modes related to vortex shedding. A flow reconstruction based only on the former shows periodic boundary-layer separation and reattachment accompanying shock wave motion. A modal reconstruction based only on the wake mode suggests that the separation bubble breathing phenomenon reported by Dandois et al. is due to this mode. Together, these results indicate that the physical mechanisms governing laminar and turbulent buffet are the same. Buffet was also simulated at zero incidence. Shock waves appear on both aerofoil surfaces and oscillate out of phase with each other indicating the occurrence of a Type I buffet (Giannelis et al., 2018, Aerosp. Sci. Technol., vol. 18, pp. 89-101) on a supercritical aerofoil. These results suggest that the mechanisms underlying different buffet types are the same.
