description: In this study, we introduce the More-Interaction Particle Transformer (MIParT), a novel deep learning neural network designed for jet tagging. This framework incorporates our own design, the More-Interaction Attention (MIA) mechanism, which increases the dimensionality of particle interaction embeddings. We tested MIParT using the top tagging and quark-gluon datasets. Our results show that MIParT not only matches the accuracy and AUC of LorentzNet and a series of Lorentz-equivariant methods, but also significantly outperforms the ParT model in background rejection. Specifically, it improves background rejection by approximately 25% at a 30% signal efficiency on the top tagging dataset and by 3% on the quark-gluon dataset. Additionally, MIParT requires only 30% of the parameters and 53% of the computational complexity needed by ParT, proving that high performance can be achieved with reduced model complexity. For very large datasets, we double the dimension of particle embeddings, referring to this variant as MIParT-Large (MIParT-L). We find that MIParT-L can further capitalize on the knowledge from large datasets. From a model pre-trained on the 100M JetClass dataset, the background rejection performance of the fine-tuned MIParT-L improved by 39% on the top tagging dataset and by 6% on the quark-gluon dataset, surpassing that of the fine-tuned ParT. Specifically, the background rejection of fine-tuned MIParT-L improved by an additional 2% compared to the fine-tuned ParT. The results suggest that MIParT has the potential to advance efficiency benchmarks for jet tagging and event identification in particle physics.

description: A two-dimensional model of interacting plaquettes is studied by means of the real space renormalization group approach. Interactions between the plaquettes are mediated solely by spin excitations on the plaquettes. Depending on the plaquette-plaquette coupling $J$, we find two regimes: "confinement" $J_c< J\leq 1$, where the singlet ground state forms an infinite ("confined") cluster in the thermodynamical limit. Here the singlet-triplet gap vanishes, which is the signature for long range spin-spin correlators. "deconfinement" $0\leq J< J_c$, where the singlet ground state "deconfines" - i.e. factorizes - into finite $n$-clusters of size $2^n\times 2^n$, with $n\leq n_c(J)$. Here the singlet-triplet gap is finite. The critical value turns out to be $J_c=0.473528..$.

description: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is known as a molecular-specific and highly sensitive method. In order to enable the routine application of SERS, powerful SERS substrates are of great importance. Within this manuscript, a TopUp SERS substrate is introduced which is fabricated by a top-down process based on microstructuring as well as a bottom-up generation of silver nanostructures. The Raman signal of the support material acts as an internal standard in order to improve the quantification capabilities. The analyte molecule coverage of sulfamethoxazole on the surface of the nanostructures is characterized by the SERS signal evolution fitted by a Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm.

description: A direct connection is proved between the Non-Abelian Bianchi Identities(NABI), and the abelian Bianchi identities for the 't Hooft tensor. As a consequence the existence of a non-zero magnetic current is related to the violation of the NABI's and is a gauge-invariant property. The construction allows to show that not all abelian projections can be used to expose monopoles in lattice configurations: each field configuration with non-zero magnetic charge identifies its natural projection, up to gauge transformations which tend to unity at large distances. It is shown that the so-called maximal-abelian gauge is a legitimate choice. It is also proved, starting from the NABI, that monopole condensation is a physical gauge invariant phenomenon, independent of the choice of the abelian projection.

The impact of introducing an affirmative model of consent and changes to the defence of mistake in Tasmanian rape trials
Creators: name: Cockburn, Helen
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The successful prosecution of sexual offences is regularly frustrated because jurors, judges and legal counsel embrace prejudicial stereotypes about what constitutes consent to sexual intercourse. In 2004 the Tasmanian Parliament instituted reforms to the state's Criminal Code that inserted a statutory definition of consent in s 2A and imposed additional constraints on the availability of the defence of mistaken belief in consent in s 14A. These changes were amongst the most progressive in the common law world. The reforms were designed to ensure that the issue of consent to sexual conduct would be evaluated according to standards of mutuality and reciprocity and that therefore, in accordance with s 2A(2)(a) of the Tasmanian Criminal Code, proof that the complainant did not communicate consent is sufficient to establish absence of consent. This thesis looks at the way that the amended provisions are being implemented by conducting a content analysis of trial transcripts of sexual offences cases heard in the Tasmanian Supreme Court in which the determination of the issue of absence of consent was critical to the case outcome. The research also includes interviews with judges of the Supreme Court of Tasmania and legal practitioners admitted to the Tasmanian bar. The treatment of the issue of consent to sexual conduct is examined to determine whether or not it is consistent with the intentions articulated by parliament and the reform advocates. The findings from this research provide evidence that the reforms are not being implemented as intended. There is evidence that judges and counsel continue to rely on a pre-reform notion of consent and indications that the prosecution tailor cases to their understanding of the jury's preconceived views about rape, rape victims and consent to sexual intercourse. The thesis concludes that the general reluctance or inability to engage with the new concept of consent that the reforms have instituted must be addressed by providing education about the meaning and effect of the amended legislation if there is to be any hope of achieving positive attitudinal change within both the criminal justice system and the broader community.
Old open clusters in the Sagittarius dSph tidal stream -- kith or kin?

description: A widely supported formation scenario for the Galactic disc is that it formed inside-out from material accumulated via accretion events. The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) is the best example of a such accretion, and its ongoing disruption has resulted in that its stars are being deposited in the Milky Way halo and outer disc. It is therefore appealing to search for possible signatures of the Sgr dSph contribution to the build-up of the Galactic disc. Interestingly, models of the Sgr dSph stream indicate clearly that the trailing tail passes through the outer Galactic disc, at the same galactocentric distance as some anti-centre old open star clusters. We investigate in this Letter the possibility that the two outermost old open clusters, Berkeley~29 and Saurer~1, could have formed inside the Sgr dSph and then left behind in the outer Galactic disc as a result of tidal interaction with the Milky Way. The actual location of these two star clusters, inside the Sgr dSph trailing tail, is compatible with this scenario, and their chemical and kinematical properties, together with our present understanding of the age-metallicity relationship in the Sgr dSph, lends further support to this possible association. Hence, we find it likely that the old open star clusters Berkeley~29 and Saurer~1 have extra-galactic origins.

description: The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this presentation, we will focus on extending the MICADO PSF reconstruction (PSF-R) method to the off-axis case. Specifically, a novel approach based on temporal-based tomography of AO telemetry data has been recently implemented. Results from the PSF-R of both simulated and real data show that, at half isoplanatic angle distances, a precision of about 10-15% is achievable in both Strehl ratio and full-width at half maximum, paving the way to extend the MICADO PSF-R tool also to the multi-conjugated AO case.

Studies related to the synthesis of eremophilane sesquiterpenes concerning the structure of eremophilene
Creators: name: Keziere, Robert John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The naturally occurring sesquiterpene, eremophilene, has recently been formulated as (+)-7β-eremophil-3,11-diene 2. The total synthesis of (±) 2, reported herein, was achieved by the following sequence. Reaction of the hydroxymethylene derivative of 3-isopropenylcyclohexanone 130 with 1-diethyl- amino-3-pentanone methiodide 122 in the presence of base (Robinson annelation reaction) readily afforded, after aldol ring closure, l-methyl-7-isopropenyl-Δ¹’⁹ -octal-2-one 127. Reaction of compound 127 with ethereal lithium dimethylcuprate 135 resulted in the selective conjugate addition of a methyl group to octalone 127, thus affording in good yield the all-cis product (±)-7β-eremophil-ll-en-3-one 128. The relative stereochemistry of the eremophilane derivative 128 was confirmed by chemical correlation with hydroxydihydroeremophilone 30 of known absolute configuration. Reaction of the tosylhydrazone derivative of compound 128 with sodium ethylene glycolate in refluxing ethylene glycol (Bamford-Stevens reaction) afforded (±) 2. Comparison of compound (±) 2 with a sample of authentic eremophilene clearly established that the structural assignment (2) originally proposed for eremophilene was incorrect. Dehydration of the naturally occurring eremoligenol 28 with thionyl chloride and pyridine afforded (+)-eremophil-1(10),11-diene 3 which was shown to be identical with authentic eremophilene. Thus the structure and stereochemistry of eremophilene is correctly represented by formulation 3. The synthesis of eremophil-3,11-diene 2 reported herein establishes a stereoselective synthetic entry into the eremophilane class of sesquiterpenoids.

description: Families of exact solutions are found to a nonlinear modification of the Black-Scholes equation. This risk-adjusted pricing methodology model (RAPM) incorporates both transaction costs and the risk from a volatile portfolio. Using the Lie group analysis we obtain the Lie algebra admitted by the RAPM equation. It gives us the possibility to describe an optimal system of subalgebras and correspondingly the set of invariant solutions to the model. In this way we can describe the complete set of possible reductions of the nonlinear RAPM model. Reductions are given in the form of different second order ordinary differential equations. In all cases we provide solutions to these equations in an exact or parametric form. We discuss the properties of these reductions and the corresponding invariant solutions.

Because of the mixing between rotational and inversion degrees of freedom the coefficients Q_μstrongly depend on the quantum numbers of the transition. This can be used for astrophysical search for possible variation of the constant μ.

description: In this contribution we extend the Taylor expansion method proposed previously by one of us and establish equivalent partial differential equations of DDH lattice Boltzmann scheme at an arbitrary order of accuracy. We derive formally the associated dynamical equations for classical thermal and linear fluid models in one to three space dimensions. We use this approach to adjust relaxation parameters in order to enforce fourth order accuracy for thermal model and diffusive relaxation modes of the Stokes problem. We apply the resulting scheme for numerical computation of associated eigenmodes and compare our results with analytical references.

description: Herein we compare various preparation methods for thin ZIF-8 layers on a Cu substrate for application as a host material for omniphobic lubricant-infused surfaces. Such omniphobic surfaces can be used in thermal engineering applications, for example to achieve dropwise condensation or anti-fouling and anti-icing surface properties. For these applications, a thin, conformal, homogeneous, mechanically and chemically stable coating is essential. In this study, thin ZIF-8 layers were deposited on a Cu substrate by different routes, such as (i) electrochemical anodic deposition on a Zn-covered Cu substrate, (ii) doctor blade technique for preparation of a composite layer containing PVDF binder and ZIF-8, as well as (iii) doctor blade technique for preparation of a two-layer composite on the Cu substrate containing a PVDF-film and a ZIF-8 layer. The morphology and topography of the coatings were compared by using profilometry, XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. After infusion with a perfluorinated oil, the wettability of the surfaces was assessed by contact angle measurements, and advantages of each preparation method were discussed.

description: We discuss the impact of strange hadrons, in particular hyperons, on the gross features of compact stars and on core-collapse supernovae. Hyperons are likely to be the first exotic species which appears around twice normal nuclear matter density in the core of neutron stars. Their presence largely influences the mass-radius relation of compact stars, the maximum mass, the cooling of neutron stars, the stability with regard to the emission of gravitational waves from rotation-powered neutron stars and the possible early onset of the QCD phase transition in core-collapse supernovae. We outline also the constraints from subthreshold kaon production in heavy-ion collisions for the maximum possible mass of neutron stars.

Electrical conductivity of potassium iodide between 200 C and room temperature
Creators: name: Prasad, Mahendra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The electrical conductivity of pure KI and CdI₂-doped KI has been studied in the temperature range 200 to 23°C. Two regions A and B (corresponding to different activation energy of conductivity) are identified. The region A can be given a conventional interpretation in terms of migration of cation vacancies in the bulk, their concentration being determined by impurities. U (the energy for migration of cation vacancies) amounts to 0.96 ± 0.02 eV. Observed activation energies higher than this value are accounted for by association and precipitation effects. Association energy of cation vacancies with impurities (0.48 eV. for Cd⁺₂) and heat of solution (0.25 eV. for CdI₂) obtained here are comparable with known values for other alkali halides. Region B found in this work represents unusual behaviour and has not previously been observed in any alkali halides. The activation energy of conductivity is considerably less than the energy needed for the migration of cation vacancies in the bulk. The activation energy E(formula omitted) (for region B) is about 0.57 eV. in a single crystal and 0.38 eV. in a pure KI pellet. Such low activation energies cannot be given a similar interpretation as for region A. It is suggested that the cation vacancies are in regions of unusually high mobility such as dislocations and grain boundaries. This effect may arise partly from a lower activation energy for motion of vacancies in these regions and partly from a vacancy concentration in these regions which increases with decreasing temperature, under the control of "space- charge" effects. The value 0.57 eV. appears to refer to isolated dislocations or low angle boundaries, while the value of 0.38 eV. refers to large angle intercrystalline boundaries in a pellet. A strong piece of evidence for this suggestion comes from the conductivity runs on single crystals. In an untreated single crystal, just as in pure pellets, two regions A and B are identified but region B disappears in crystals annealed overnight and reappears in a mechanically strained crystal. Moreover, region A remains almost undisturbed in each case. This means that the conduction process in region B is governed by dislocations and grain boundaries whereas region A is governed by motion of cation vacancies in the bulk.

description: \u000aFlannery O'Connor is considered one of America's greatest fiction writers. The immensely talented Robert Giroux, editor-in-chief of Harcourt, Brace & Company and later of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, was her devoted friend and admirer. He edited her three books published during her lifetime, plus _Everything that Rises Must Converge_, which she completed just before she died in 1964 at the age of thirty-nine, the posthumous _The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor_, and the subsequent award-winning collection of her letters titled _The Habit of Being_. When poet Robert Lowell first introduced O'Connor to Giroux in March 1949, she could not have imagined the impact that meeting would have on her life or on the landscape of postwar American literature.\u000a\u000a_Flannery O'Connor and Robert Giroux: A Publishing Partnership_ sheds new light on an area of Flannery O'Connor's life-her relationship with her editors-that has not been well documented or narrated by critics and biographers. Impressively researched and rich in biographical details, this book chronicles Giroux's and O'Connor's personal and professional relationship, not omitting their circle of friends and fellow writers, including Robert Lowell, Caroline Gordon, Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, Allen Tate, Thomas Merton, and Robert Penn Warren. As Patrick Samway explains, Giroux guided O'Connor to become an internationally acclaimed writer of fiction and nonfiction, especially during the years when she suffered from lupus at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia, a disease that eventually proved fatal. Excerpts from their correspondence, some of which are published here for the first time, reveal how much of Giroux's work as editor was accomplished through his letters to Milledgeville. They are gracious, discerning, and appreciative, just when they needed to be. In Father Samway's portrait of O'Connor as an extraordinarily dedicated writer and businesswoman, she emerges as savvy, pragmatic, focused, and determined. This engrossing account of O'Connor's publishing history will interest, in addition to O'Connor's fans, all readers and students of American literature.\u000a
Rehabilitation processes following traumatic brain injury

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may result in significant impairment in an individual's physical, cognitive and psychosocial functioning, and is acknowledged to be the leading cause of long-term disability in young adults (DSM III; 1999). An increasing body of high-quality evidence now exists for the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for TBI of all severities (Powell, Heslin, & Greenwood, 2002; Turner-Stokes, 2008; Wade, Crawford, Wenden, King, & Moss, 1997). However, there is a need for a more comprehensive description of the types of care allocated at the end of the acute phase of TBI, and the factors that influence variation in referral and access to services. Much of the literature focuses on people with severe TBI receiving specialist rehabilitation, and considers only hospitalised cases. The aims of the present research were to investigate patterns of referral to outpatient rehabilitation services in a population-based sample, to describe factors related to progress in rehabilitation for those referred to public community rehabilitation, and to increase understanding of TBI and its management, by developing a model of rehabilitation pathways. Study 1 looked at some demographic, injury-related, and post-injury characteristics of the participants of the Tasmanian Neurotrauma Register (TNTR) research project (N = 1226), and examined differences in the groups referred to public and private rehabilitation. Studies 2, 3 and 4 looked at the sub-sample of individuals (n = 175) referred for public multidisciplinary rehabilitation at the Community Rehabilitation Unit (CRU). These three studies considered how a range of variables were related to referral to CRU's clinical disciplines, to the likelihood of being offered appointments, and to attendance or non-attendance at initial appointments, when offered them. Study 5 looked further at how rehabilitation services contribute to TBI patients' recovery by considering the amount and nature of therapy participants received at CRU. This research provides clinicians and researchers with a clearer picture of some of the factors that affect the post-acute rehabilitation process, in a sample of TBI patients that is more representative of adult TBI than those found in the overwhelming majority of studies, which typically consider only moderate to severe TBI and/or hospitalised cases. The rehabilitation pathways and processes outlined will be valuable for rehabilitation clinicians who wish to identify people at risk of poor outcomes. The findings of this research provide a foundation upon which a number of avenues for further research can be based. These include looking at different measures of outcome in TBI samples referred for community rehabilitation, identifying effective interventions that are compatible with existing rehabilitation services, and comparing outcomes in matched samples referred and not-referred for rehabilitation.
Nothing transcended : an examination of the metaphysical implications of interdependence
Creators: name: Shimeld, JM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Recent debate has questioned the validity of Zen as a school of Buddhism, claiming that the characteristic justification of apparently immoral acts by 'enlightened' individuals cannot be reconciled with the Buddhist eight-fold path, which emphasises 'right' actions and states of mind. To simply dismiss Zen as deviant, however, ignores the ramifications of this problem for Buddhists more widely and overlooks parallels with the contemporary problem of nihilism. This thesis investigates the philosophical ground ofthe 'Zen moral problem' in 'emptiness' (sDnyato), through the construction of a metaphysical framework based upon the related Mahayana Buddhist principle: 'interdependence' (pratJtyasamutpoda). In order to critique the validity of Zen as philosophy, I am guided by the goal of the Buddhist soteriological project; the promise of enlightenment in order to overcome the experience of suffering. If a framework built up from base principles of Zen thought is capable of explaining and maintaining the Buddhist goal, then we must still determine how the moral problem arises. It is important to note that this thesis does not represent a Buddhist position, in a textual sense; instead it is a philosophical examination of Buddhist principles - addressing the problems that motivated specific historical positions. Rather than an analysis of these historical positions as such, the current work takes them as responses to a common concern, and makes use of them as critical examples. To this end the metaphysical framework developed here is used to analyse those foundations in contemporary thought which give rise to the moral problem.

description: In this study, we investigate the existence and stability of in-phase and out-of-phase dissipative solitons in a dual-waveguide lattice with linear localized gain and nonlinear losses under both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. Numerical results reveal that both types of dissipative solitons bifurcate from the linear amplified modes, and their nonlinear propagation constant changes to a real value when nonlinearity, linear localized gain, and nonlinear losses coexist. We find that increasing the linear gain coefficient leads to an increase in the power and propagation constant of both types of dissipative solitons. For defocusing nonlinearity, in-phase solitons are stable across their entire existence region, while focusing nonlinearity confines them to a small stable region near the lower cutoff value in the propagation constant. In contrast, out-of-phase solitons have a significantly larger stable region under focusing nonlinearity compared to defocusing nonlinearity. The stability regions of both types of dissipative solitons increase with increasing nonlinear losses coefficient. Additionally, we validate the results of linear stability analysis for dissipative solitons using propagation simulations, showing perfect agreement between the two methods.

description: Metasurfaces have revolutionized photonics due to their ability to shape phase fronts as requested and to tune beam directionality using nanoscale metallic or dielectric scatterers. Here we reveal inverse metasurfaces showing superior properties compared to their positive counterparts if transmission mode operation is considered. The key advantage of such slot-type metasurfaces is the strong reduction of light in the parallel-polarization state, making the crossed-polarization, being essential for metasurface operation, dominant and highly visible. In the experiment, we show an up to four times improvement in polarization extinction for the individual metasurface element geometry consisting of deep subwavelength nanoboomerangs with feature sizes of the order of 100 nm. As confirmed by simulations, strong plasmonic hybridization yields two spectrally separated plasmonic resonances, ultimately allowing for the desired phase and scattering engineering in transmission. Due to the design flexibility of inverse metasurfaces, a large number of highly integrated ultra-flat photonic elements can be envisioned, examples of which include monolithic lenses for telecommunications and spectroscopy, beam shaper or generator for particle trapping or acceleration or sophisticated polarization control for microscopy.

description: The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the necessary conditions for unitarity of the spectrum of non-compact gauged WZNW models to some depth. In particular, we would like to investigate the necessity of integer weights and level. We will learn that the problem is very complex and we have not found any simple and general way to formulate the necessary conditions. Instead one must resort to studying the problem almost case by case. The only nearly complete conditions that we will find, is for the case g = su(n,1). Furthermore, the horizontal part of the case g = su(p,q) is nearly completed as well. In other cases, we will find conditions associated with certain subalgebras and nodes in the Dynkin diagram close to the one corresponding to the non-compact root. In these examples we can give conditions for the horizontal part of the algebra. As a by-product of our investigation we will prove some nice formulae of character identities and explicit branching functions for these representations.

description: The increasing reliance on Large Language Models (LLMs) for health information seeking can pose severe risks due to the potential for misinformation and the complexity of these topics. This paper introduces KNOWNET a visualization system that integrates LLMs with Knowledge Graphs (KG) to provide enhanced accuracy and structured exploration. Specifically, for enhanced accuracy, KNOWNET extracts triples (e.g., entities and their relations) from LLM outputs and maps them into the validated information and supported evidence in external KGs. For structured exploration, KNOWNET provides next-step recommendations based on the neighborhood of the currently explored entities in KGs, aiming to guide a comprehensive understanding without overlooking critical aspects. To enable reasoning with both the structured data in KGs and the unstructured outputs from LLMs, KNOWNET conceptualizes the understanding of a subject as the gradual construction of graph visualization. A progressive graph visualization is introduced to monitor past inquiries, and bridge the current query with the exploration history and next-step recommendations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our system via use cases and expert interviews.

Studies of geometrical isomers by photo-ionization mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Stewart, William Brien
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A series of isomeric tricyclic [3.2.1.0²̕⁴] oct-8—[symbols omitted] derivatives have been studied by photoionization mass spectrometry and the low resolution mass spectra of the compounds obtained. The observed differences in the relative intensities in the spectra of the isomers are explained on the basis of the geometry of the tricyclic system. The major fragments of the low resolution spectra were 'mass measured' to determine their elemental composition and, from the information obtained, possible fragmentation pathways are postulated. In addition, the ionization potential of all isomers was determined by electron impact.
On the Generalized Einstein-Cartan Action with Fermions

description: From the freedom exhibited by the generalized Einstein action proposed in [1], we show that we can construct the standard effective Einstein-Cartan action coupled to the fermionic matter without the usual current-current interaction and therefore an effective action which does not depend neither on the Immirzi parameter nor on the torsion. This establishes the equivalence between the Einstein-Cartan theory and the theory of the general relativity minimally coupled to the fermionic matter.

Fragment quantum embedding using the Householder transformation: a multi-state extension based on ensembles

description: In recent works by Yalouz et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 157, 214112, 2022) and Sekaran et al. (Phys. Rev. B 104, 035121, 2021; Computation 10, 45, 2022), Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) has been reformulated through the use of the Householder transformation as a novel tool to embed a fragment within extended systems. The transformation was applied to a reference non-interacting one-electron reduced density matrix to construct fragments' bath orbitals, which are crucial for subsequent ground state calculations. In the present work, we expand upon these previous developments and extend the utilization of the Householder transformation to the description of multiple electronic states, including ground and excited states. Based on an ensemble noninteracting density matrix, we demonstrate the feasibility of achieving exact fragment embedding through successive Householder transformations, resulting in a larger set of bath orbitals. We analytically prove that the number of additional bath orbitals scales directly with the number of fractionally occupied natural orbitals in the reference ensemble density matrix. A connection with the regular DMET bath construction is also made. Then, we illustrate the use of this ensemble embedding tool in single-shot DMET calculations to describe both ground and first excited states in a Hubbard lattice model and an ab initio hydrogen system. Lastly, we discuss avenues for enhancing ensemble embedding through self-consistency and explore potential future directions.
Phenomenological analysis of D-brane Pati-Salam vacua

description: In the present work we perform a phenomenological analysis of the effective low energy models with Pati-Salam (PS) gauge symmetry derived in the context of D-branes. A main issue in these models arises from the fact that the right-handed fermions and the PS-symmetry breaking Higgs field transform identically under the PS symmetry, causing unnatural matter-Higgs mixing effects. We argue that this problem could be solved in particular D-brane setups where these fields arise in different intersections. We further observe that whenever a large Higgs mass term is generated in a particular class of mass spectra, a splitting mechanism -reminiscent of the doublet triplet splitting- may protect the neutral Higgs components from a heavy mass term. We analyze the implications of each individual representation which in principle is available in these models in order to specify the minimal spectrum required to build up a consistent PS model which reconciles the low energy data. A short discussion is devoted on the effects of stringy instanton corrections, particularly those generating missing Yukawa couplings and contributing to the fermion mass textures. We discuss the correlations of the intersecting D-brane spectra with those obtained from Gepner constructions and analyze the superpotential, the resulting mass textures and the low energy implications of some examples of the latter along the lines proposed above.

Control of phase formation of (AlxGa1 - X)2O3thin films on c-plane Al2O3

description: In this paper, the growth of orthorhombic and monoclinic (Al x Ga1 - x )2O3 thin films on (00.1) Al2O3 by tin-assisted pulsed laser deposition is investigated as a function of oxygen pressure p(O2) and substrate temperature Tg. For certain growth conditions, defined by Tg = 580°C and p(O2) = 0.016 mbar, the orthorhombic ?-polymorph is stabilized. For Tg = 540°C and p(O2) = 0.016 mbar, the ?-, and the ß-, as well as the spinel ?-polymorph coexist, as illustrated by XRD 2?-?-scans. Further employed growth parameters result in thin films with a monoclinic ß-gallia structure. For all polymorphs, p(O2) and Tg affect the formation and desorption of volatile suboxides, and thereby the growth rate and the cation composition. For example, low oxygen pressures lead to low growth rates and enhanced Al incorporation. This facilitates the structural engineering of polymorphic, ternary (Al,Ga)2O3 via selection of the relevant process parameters. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of a ? - (Al0.13Ga0.87)2O3 thin film reveal a more complex picture compared to that derived from x-ray diffraction measurements. Furthermore, this study presents the possibility of controlling the phase formation, as well as the Al-content, of thin films based on the choice of their growth conditions. © 2020 The Author(s).

Do high-velocity clouds form by thermal instability?

description: We examine the proposal that the HI "high-velocity" clouds (HVCs) surrounding the Milky Way and other disc galaxies form by condensation of the hot galactic corona via thermal instability. Under the assumption that the galactic corona is well represented by a non-rotating, stratified atmosphere, we find that for this formation mechanism to work the corona must have an almost perfectly flat entropy profile. In all other cases the growth of thermal perturbations is suppressed by a combination of buoyancy and thermal conduction. Even if the entropy profile were nearly flat, cold clouds with sizes smaller than 10 kpc could form in the corona of the Milky Way only at radii larger than 100 kpc, in contradiction with the determined distances of the largest HVC complexes. Clouds with sizes of a few kpc can form in the inner halo only in low-mass systems. We conclude that unless even slow rotation qualitatively changes the dynamics of a corona, thermal instability is unlikely to be a viable mechanism for formation of cold clouds around disc galaxies.
