Elasto-capillary necking, bulging and Maxwell states in soft compressible cylinders
Creators: name: Emery, Dominic
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Localized pattern formations and "two-phase" deformations are studied theoretically in soft compressible cylinders subject to surface tension and axial loading through several force-controlled loading scenarios. By drawing upon known results for separate yet mathematically similar elastic localization problems, a concise family of analytical bifurcation conditions for localized bulging or necking are derived in terms of a general compressible strain energy function. The effect of material compressibility and strain-stiffening behaviour on the bifurcation point is analysed, and comparisons between our theoretical bifurcation conditions and the corresponding numerical simulation results of Dortdivanlioglu and Javili (Extreme Mech. Lett. 55, 2022) are made. It is then explained how the fully developed "two-phase" (Maxwell) state which evolves from the initial localized bifurcation solution can be comprehensively understood using the simple analytical expressions for the force parameters corresponding to the primary axial tension deformation. The power of this simple analytical approach in validating numerical simulation results for elastic localization and phase-separation-like problems of this nature is highlighted

description: Using first principle calculations, we examine the sequence of phases in electron doped dichalcogenides, such as recently realized in field-gated MoS$_2$. Upon increasing the electron doping level, we observe a succession of semiconducting, metallic, superconducting and charge density wave regimes, i.e. in different order compared to the phase diagram of (semi-)metallic dichalcogenides such as TiSe$_2$. Both instabilities trace back to a softening of phonons which couple the electron populated conduction band minima. The superconducting dome, calculated using Eliashberg theory, is found to fit the experimentally observed phase diagram, obtained from resistivity measurements. The charge density wave phase at higher electron doping concentrations as predicted from instabilities in the phonon modes is further corroborated by detecting the accompanying lattice deformation in density functional based supercell relaxations. Upon charge density wave formation, doped MoS$_2$ remains metallic but undergoes a Lifschitz transition, where the number of Fermi pockets is reduced.

description: Bifactor-(S-1) and (S·I-1) models represent general factor measurement models intended to overcome anomalous results associated with bifactor models. Research has centered on model utility using real data, with little consideration of conditions associated with parameter recovery accuracy. Thus, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding performance of these models under known conditions. This simulation study investigated the parameter recovery of bifactor-(S-1) and (S·I-1) models under varying conditions based on intelligence and psychological test data, including the regression coefficient between the primary dimension to an external criterion. Furthermore, regression coefficient recovery accuracy was compared to results based on a unidimensional model to examine consequences associated with ignoring an instrument’s multidimensional structure.

description: We derive the analytic formula of the growth index for $f(R)$ dark energy model where the effect on the growth of matter density perturbation $δ_m$ from modified gravity (MG) is encoded in the effective Newton coupling constant $G_{\rm eff}$ in MG (or equivalently $g\equiv {G_{\rm eff}/ G}$). Based on the analytic formula, we propose that the parameter $g$ can be directly figured out by comparing the observed growth rate $f_g\equiv d\lnδ_m/d\ln a$ to the prediction of $f_g$ in general relativity.

description: We carry out extensive tests of the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy of the PanScales parton showers, as introduced recently for colour-singlet production in hadron collisions. The tests include comparisons to (semi-)analytic NLL calculations of a wide range of hadron-collider observables: the colour-singlet boson transverse momentum distribution; global and non-global hadronic energy flow variables related to jet vetoes and analogues of jettiness distributions; (sub)jet multiplicities; and observables sensitive to the DGLAP evolution of the incoming momentum fractions. In the tests, we also include an implementation of a standard transverse-momentum ordered dipole shower, to establish the size of missing NLL effects in such showers, which, depending on the observable, can reach $100\%$. This paper, together with arXiv:2205.02237, constitutes the first step towards process-independent NLL-accurate parton showers for hadronic collisions.

description: It has long been known that there exists a coordinate transformation which exactly maps the quantum free particle to the quantum harmonic oscillator. Here we extend this result by reformulating it as a unitary operation followed by a time coordinate transformation. We demonstrate that an equivalent transformation can be performed for classical systems in the context of Koopman von-Neumann (KvN) dynamics. We further extend this mapping to dissipative evolutions in both the quantum and classical cases, and show that this mapping imparts an identical time-dependent scaling on the dissipation parameters for both types of dynamics. The derived classical procedure presents a number of opportunities to import squeezing dependent quantum procedures (such as Hamiltonian amplification) into the classical regime.

subject: 615 Pharmazie

description: Agents that enhance production of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) ameliorate the progression of renal fibrosis. However, the molecular mechanism of this process is not fully understood. We hypothesize that the antifibrotic effects of cGMP and cGMP-dependent kinase I (cGKI) are mediated via regulation of the TGFb signalling pathway, both via ERK and the Smad-dependent route. Kidney fibrosis was induced by unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) in wild-type and cGKI-deficient (cGKI-KO) mice. The cGMP/cGKI signalling pathway was activated by application of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator BAY 41-8543 (BAY), beginning 1 day after UUO. After 7 days, the antifibrotic effects of BAY were analysed by measuring mRNA and protein expression of characteristic fibrotic biomarkers. The effects of cGMP/TGFb on cultured fibroblasts were also analysed in vitro. BAY application influenced the activity of the extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading matrix metalloproteases (MMP2 and MMP9) and their inhibitor tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1, the secretion of cytokines (e.g. IL-6) and the expression pattern of ECM proteins (e.g. collagen, fibronectin) and profibrotic mediators (e.g. connective tissue growth factors and plasminogenactivator inhibitor-1). Activation of the cGMP/cGKI signalling pathway showed protective effects against fibrosis which were mediated by inhibition of P-Erk1/2 and translocation of P-smad3. The elucidation of these signalling mechanisms might support the development of new therapeutic options regarding cGMP/cGKI-mediated antifibrotic actions.
A polarity-induced defect mechanism for conductivity and magnetism at polar-nonpolar oxide interfaces

description: The discovery of conducting two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and magnetism at the interface between insulating nonmagnetic oxides, as exemplified by the polar LaAlO3 and nonpolar SrTiO3 has raised prospects for attaining interfacial functionalities absent in the component materials. Yet, the microscopic origin of such emergent phenomena remains unclear, posing obstacles to design of improved functionalities. Using first principles defect calculations, we reveal a unifying polarity-induced defect mechanism for both conductivity and magnetism at polar-nonpolar interfaces of nonmagnetic insulating oxides. We demonstrate that the polar-discontinuity across the interface triggers thermodynamically the spontaneous formation of certain defects that in turn cancel the polar field induced by the polar discontinuity. It turns out that the 2DEG originates from those spontaneously formed surface donor defects (oxygen vacancy), but the density of 2DEG is controlled by the interfacial anti-site acceptor defects (Al-on-Ti). The interface magnetism is found to originate from the un-ionized deep Ti-on-Al anti-site donor defects within the LaAlO3 side near the interface. Our results suggest practical design guidelines for inducing and controlling both 2DEG and magnetism at polar-nonpolar oxide interfaces.

description: The monoclonal antibody S9.6 is a widely-used tool to purify, analyse and quantify R-loop structures in cells. A previous study using the surface plasmon resonance technology and a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of S9.6 showed high affinity (0.6 nM) for DNA-RNA and also a high affinity (2.7 nM) for RNA-RNA hybrids. We used the microscale thermo-phoresis method allowing surface independent interaction studies and electromobility shift assays to evaluate additional RNA-DNA hybrid sequences and to quantify the binding affinities of the S9.6 antibody with respect to distinct sequences and their GC-content. Our results confirm high affinity binding to previously analysed sequences, but reveals that binding affinities are highly sequence specific. Our study presents R-loop sequences that independent of GC-content and in different sequence variations exhibit either no binding, binding affinities in the micromolar range and as well high affinity binding in the nanomolar range. Our study questions the usefulness of the S9.6 antibody in the quantitative analysis of R-loop sequences in vivo.

description: Dendrodendritic synaptic interactions are a hallmark of neuronal processing in the vertebrate olfactory bulb. Many classes of olfactory bulb neurons including the principal mitral cells (MCs) and the axonless granule cells (GCs) dispose of highly efficient propagation of action potentials (AP) within their dendrites, from where they can release transmitter onto each other. So far, backpropagation in GC dendrites has been investigated indirectly via Ca2+ imaging. Here, we used two-photon Na+ imaging to directly report opening of voltage-gated sodium channels due to AP propagation in both cell types. To this end, neurons in acute slices from juvenile rat bulbs were filled with 1 mM SBFI via whole-cell patch-clamp. Calibration of SBFI signals revealed that a change in fluorescence Delta F/F by 10% corresponded to a Delta[Na+](i) of similar to 22 mM. We then imaged proximal axon segments of MCs during somatically evoked APs (sAP). While single sAPs were detectable in similar to 50% of axons, trains of 20 sAPs at 50 Hz always resulted in substantial Delta F/F of similar to 15% (similar to 33 mM Delta[Na+](i)). Delta F/F was significantly larger for 80 Hz vs. 50 Hz trains, and decayed with half-durations tau(1/2) similar to 0.6 s for both frequencies. In MC lateral dendrites, AP trains yielded small Delta F/F of similar to 3% (similar to 7 mM Delta[Na+](i)). In GC apical dendrites and adjacent spines, single sAPs were not detectable. Trains resulted in an average dendritic Delta F/F of 7% (16 mM Delta[Na+](i)) with tau(1/2) similar to 1 s, similar for 50 and 80 Hz. Na+ transients were indistinguishable between large GC spines and their adjacent dendrites. Cell-wise analysis revealed two classes of GCs with the first showing a decrease in Delta F/F along the dendrite with distance from the soma and the second an increase. These classes clustered with morphological parameters. Simulations of Delta[Na+](i) replicated these behaviors via negative and positive gradients in Na+ current density, assuming faithful AP backpropagation. Such specializations of dendritic excitability might confer specific temporal processing capabilities to bulbar principal cell-GC subnetworks. In conclusion, we show that Na+ imaging provides a valuable tool for characterizing AP invasion of MC axons and GC dendrites and spines.

description: We investigate choice-driven network growth. In this model, nodes are added one by one according to the following procedure: for each addition event a set of target nodes is selected, each according to linear preferential attachment, and a new node attaches to the target with the highest degree. Depending on precise details of the attachment rule, the resulting networks has three possible outcomes: (i) a non-universal power-law degree distribution; (ii) a single macroscopic hub (a node whose degree is of the order of N, the number of network nodes), while the remainder of the nodes comprises a non-universal power-law degree distribution; (iii) a degree distribution that decays as (k ln k)^{-2} at the transition between cases (i) and (ii). These properties are robust when attachment occurs to the highest-degree node from at least two targets. When attachment is made to a target whose degree is not the highest, the degree distribution has the ultra-narrow double-exponential form exp(-const. x e^k), from which the largest degree grows only as ln(ln N).

description: The stability of dark matter is normally achieved by imposing extra symmetries beyond those of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. In this paper we present a framework where the dark matter stability emerges as a consequence of the Standard Model symmetries. The dark matter particle is an antisymmetric tensor field (analogous to the one used for spin-1 mesons in QCD), singlet under the Standard Model gauge group. The Lagrangian possesses an accidental $Z_2$ symmetry which makes the dark matter stable on cosmological time scales. Interactions with the Standard Model fields proceed through the Higgs portal, which allows the observed dark matter abundance to be generated via thermal freeze-out. We also discuss the prospects for observing this dark matter particle in direct detection experiments.

description: With a modified chemical potential dependent effective model for the gluon propagator, we try to locate the critical end point (CEP) of strongly interacting matter in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE). Beyond the chiral limit, we find that Nambu solution and Wigner solution could coexist in some area. Using the CornwallJackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) effective action, we show that these two phases are connected by a first order phase transition. We then locate CEP as the end point of the first order phase transition line. Meanwhile, based on CJT effective action, we give a direct calculation for the chiral susceptibility and thereby study the crossover.

description: We show that the single-particle spectral properties of gapless one-dimensional Fermi systems in the Luttinger liquid state reached at intermediate times after an abrupt quench of the two-particle interaction are highly indicative of the unusual nonequilibrium nature of this state. The line shapes of the momentum integrated and resolved spectral functions strongly differ from their ground state as well as finite temperature equilibrium counterparts. Using an energy resolution improved version of radio-frequency spectroscopy of quasi one-dimensional cold Fermi gases it should be possible to experimentally identify this nonequilibrium state by its pronounced spectral signatures.

description: With various face presentation attacks emerging continually, face anti-spoofing (FAS) approaches based on domain generalization (DG) have drawn growing attention. Existing DG-based FAS approaches always capture the domain-invariant features for generalizing on the various unseen domains. However, they neglect individual source domains' discriminative characteristics and diverse domain-specific information of the unseen domains, and the trained model is not sufficient to be adapted to various unseen domains. To address this issue, we propose an Adaptive Mixture of Experts Learning (AMEL) framework, which exploits the domain-specific information to adaptively establish the link among the seen source domains and unseen target domains to further improve the generalization. Concretely, Domain-Specific Experts (DSE) are designed to investigate discriminative and unique domain-specific features as a complement to common domain-invariant features. Moreover, Dynamic Expert Aggregation (DEA) is proposed to adaptively aggregate the complementary information of each source expert based on the domain relevance to the unseen target domain. And combined with meta-learning, these modules work collaboratively to adaptively aggregate meaningful domain-specific information for the various unseen target domains. Extensive experiments and visualizations demonstrate the effectiveness of our method against the state-of-the-art competitors.

description: We present the results of a semianalytical model that evolves the masses and spins of massive black holes together with the properties of their host galaxies along the cosmic history. As a consistency check, our model broadly reproduces a number of observations, e.g. the cosmic star formation history, the black hole mass and luminosity function and the galaxy mass function at low redshift, the black hole to bulge mass relation, and the morphological distribution at low redshift. For the first time in a semianalytical investigation, we relax the simplifying assumptions of perfect coherency or perfect isotropy of the gas fueling the black holes. The dynamics of gas is instead linked to the morphological properties of the host galaxies, resulting in different spin distributions for black holes hosted in different galaxy types. We compare our results with the observed sample of spin measurements obtained through broad K$α$ iron line fitting. The observational data disfavor both accretion along a fixed direction and isotropic fueling. Conversely, when the properties of the accretion flow are anchored to the kinematics of the host galaxy, we obtain a good match between theoretical expectations and observations. A mixture of coherent accretion and phases of activity in which the gas dynamics is similar to that of the stars in bulges (i.e., with a significant velocity dispersion superimposed to a net rotation) best describes the data, adding further evidence in support to the coevolution of massive black holes and their hosts.

description: This is a study to determine if a relationship exisits between bottom sediment and sub-aqueous vegetation (SAV) in the Barnegat Bay. It is hoped that any such possible correlation may help explain the causes of the loss of SAV beds, which has occurred during the past 40 years, and suggest actions to restore SAV prior levels. The study area, just west of Island Beach State Park, did show that certain sediment characteristics consistently support SAV.

description: Climate change is driving widespread changes in ecological communities. Warming temperatures often shift community composition toward more heat-tolerant taxa. The factors influencing the rate of this "thermophilization" process remain unclear. Using 10-year census data from an extensive forest plot network, we show that mature tree communities of the western US have undergone thermophilization. The mean magnitude of climate warming over the 10-year study interval was 0.32°C, whereas the mean magnitude of thermophilization was 0.039°C. Differential tree mortality was the strongest demographic driver of thermophilization, rather than growth or recruitment. Thermophilization rates are associated with recent changes in temperature and hydrologic variables, as well as topography and disturbance, with insect damage showing the strongest standardized effect on thermophilization rates. On average, thermophilization occurred more rapidly on cool, north-facing hillslopes. Our results demonstrate that warming temperatures are outpacing the composition of western US forest tree communities, and that climate change may erode biodiversity patterns structured by topographic variation.

Water Budget in the Raritan River Basin
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Water Supply Authority
Year: 2000

description: The Raritan River Basin supports a wide variety of New Jersey ecosystems within the Highlands, Piedmont and Coastal Plain geologic provinces.  Many of these ecosystems rely heavily on the near proximity of surface waters, wetlands and high ground water tables.  The Raritan River Basin is also a major source of potable and industrial water supply in central New Jersey for approximately 1.2 million people.  Finally, the surface waters of the Basin are used for recreational and aesthetic purposes.  The vitality and health of all these uses depends on the natural processes of precipitation, runoff and recharge.  Therefore, for watershed management purposes it is critical to understand both the general and detailed water budget and hydrology of the Basin. The characterization portion of this technical report provides information on the current status of the water budget in the Raritan River Basin.  The assessment portion compares the current resource status to the historic water budget to the extent that this is possible; the assessment is necessarily more qualitative than quantitative as this time.  Both portions of this report are prepared for use in the management planning process that will begin in the year 2000.

description: We obtain exact results for the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of magnons at the high symmetry points of ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) honeycomb lattices in the presence of Dzyallonshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. For the FM honeycomb lattice in the absence of DM interactions, the values of the OAM at the corners of the Brillouin zone (BZ) (${\bf k}_1^*=(0,2\sqrt{3}/9)2π/a $, ${\bf k}_2^*=(1/3,\sqrt{3}/9)2π/a ,\ldots $) are alternately $\pm 3\hbar /16$ for both magnon bands. The presence of DM interactions dramatically changes those values by breaking the degeneracy of the two magnon bands. The OAM values are alternately $3\hbar /8$ and 0 for the lower magnon band and $-3\hbar /8$ and 0 for the upper magnon band. For the AF honeycomb lattice, the values of the OAM at the corners of the BZ are $\mp (3\hbar /16)κ$ on one of the degenerate magnon bands and $\pm (3\hbar /8) (1+κ/2)$ on the other, where $κ$ measures the anisotropy and the result is independent of the DM interaction.

description: Interferon regulatory factor 4 is a crucial factor in adaptive immunity in both T and B cell mediated processes. Knockout mice lacking IRF4 show severe defects in developing functional T cell subsets, including Th2, Th9 and Th17, as well as B cells arrested in early development stages, which leads to absence of IgM in the serum. In T cells, IRF4 serves as an initiation factor conveying TCR signals, priming cells for proliferation and inducing master transcriptional regulators such as GATA3, T-bet and RORγt. To fulfil this central role, interaction with several partners is required, among them BATF and PU.1. We hypothesize that through precise alterations in IRF4, its functionality can be altered to achieve selective modification of its immunoregulatory effects. Based on literature results from binding assays, structural analysis and recurring mutations in cancer patients, we tested many point mutations in IRF4 for their functionality in Th2, Th9 and Th17 differentiation. Several mutations show immunomodulatory potential. Most prominent among them is L116R, which induces Th9 differentiation and IL-9 production in Th2 cells, while at the same time reducing Th2 and Th17 differentiation. Further, we could show that autoinhibition of IRF4 is differentially affecting helper T cell subtypes, acting much stronger on Th9 and Th17 cells compared to Th2 differentiated cells. In addition, tumors emerging in old IRF4 knockout mice allowed us to further study leukemogenesis and B cell development in the context of IRF4 deficiency, leading to a disease similar to human Ph-like B-ALL. Treatment of this disease with the JAK inhibitor Ruxolitinib increased survival by reducing blast infiltration in the central nervous system and solid organs. Here we show that immunomodulation via point mutations is possible and that IRF4 has subdomains that differentially affect helper T cell subtypes, further scrutinize the effects of autoinhibition in IRF4 and establish a potential mouse model for human Ph-like B-ALL.

description: We investigate the process $B\to \bar{D}D_s π$ via several rescattering processes. It is shown that the triangle singularity (TS) peak around the $D^*K^*$ threshold generated from the $χ_{c1}K^* D^*$ loop is relatively narrow, which may simulate the resonance-like structure $T_{c\bar{s}}(2900)$ recently observed by LHCb in the $D_sπ$ spectrum. However, the TS peak around the $D_s^*ρ$ threshold generated from the $D^{**} D_s^* ρ$ loop is smoothed by the broad width of $ρ$, which itself can hardly describe the $T_{c\bar{s}}(2900)$ structure. A TS signal around the $DK$ threshold generated from the $χ_{c0}K D $ loop is also predicted.

Supersymmetry with a pNGB Higgs and Partial Compositeness

description: We study the consequences of combining SUSY with a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson Higgs coming from an SO(5)/SO(4) coset and partial compositeness. In particular, we focus on how electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs mass are reproduced in models where the symmetry SO(5) is linearly realized. The global symmetry forbids tree-level contributions to the Higgs potential coming from D-terms, differently from what happens in most of the SUSY little-Higgs constructions. While the stops are generally heavy, light fermion top partners below 1 TeV are predicted. In contrast to what happens in non-SUSY composite Higgs models, they are necessary to reproduce the correct top, rather than Higgs, mass. En passant, we point out that, independently of SUSY, models where tR is fully composite and embedded in the 5 of SO(5) generally predict a too light Higgs.

description: We consider products of the matrices associated with the Szegő recursion from the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and show that under suitable assumptions, their norms grow exponentially in the number of factors. In the language of dynamical systems, this result expresses a uniform hyperbolicity statement. We present two applications of this result. On the one hand, we identify explicitly the almost sure spectrum of extended CMV matrices with non-negative random Verblunsky coefficients. On the other hand, we show that no Ising model in one dimension exhibits a phase transition. Also, in the case of dynamically generated interaction couplings, we describe a gap labeling theorem for the Lee-Yang zeros in the thermodynamic limit.

Interactive Reputation Systems - How to Cope with Malicious Behavior in Feedback Mechanisms

description: Early reputation systems use simple computation metrics that can easily be manipulated by malicious actors. Advanced computation models that mitigate their weaknesses, however, are non-transparent to the end-users thus lowering their understandability and the users’ trust towards the reputation system. The paper proposes the concept of interactive reputation systems that combine the cognitive capabilities of the user with the advantages of robust metrics while preserving the system’s transparency. Results of the evaluation show that interactive reputation systems increase both the users’ detection ability (robustness) and understanding of malicious behavior while avoiding trade-offs in usability.

description: The Keldysh theory of photoionization in a solid dielectric is generalized to the case of arbitrarily short driving pulses of arbitrary pulse shape. We derive a closed-form solution for the nonadiabatic ionization rate in a transparent solid with a periodic dispersion relation, which reveals ultrafast ionization dynamics within the field cycle and recovers the key results of the Keldysh theory in the appropriate limiting regimes.

description: Triple-GEM detectors for the GE2/1 and ME0 stations of the endcap muon system for the Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Experiment have been operated in a test beam to measure their efficiency and spatial resolution, together with a high spatial resolution triple- GEM tracker. A production module of GE2/1 detectors and a prototype ME0 detector show excellent local efficiency. A prototype detector with GEM foils employing random hole sectorization showed significant reduction of dead areas. The spatial resolution of the tracker has been measured and found close to the expected value of 75 μm.
