Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Ground-state properties of a two-dimensional system of superconducting vortices in the presence of a periodic array of strong pinning centers are studied analytically and numerically. The ground states of the vortex system at different filling ratios are found using a simple geometric argument under the assumption that the penetration depth is much smaller than the spacing of the pin lattice. The results of this calculation are confirmed by numerical studies in which simulated annealing is used to locate the ground states of the vortex system. The zero-temperature equilibrium magnetization as a function of the applied field is obtained by numerically calculating the energy of the ground state for a large number of closely spaced filling ratios. The results show interesting commensurability effects such as plateaus in the B-H diagram at simple fractional filling ratios.

Microscopic Forces and Flows due to Temperature Gradients

description: Nano-scale fluid flow is unlike transport on the macro-scale. Pressure gradients typically dominate effects on a large scale while thermal gradients contribute negligibly to the motion of fluid. The situation entirely reverses on the nano-scale. At a microscopic level, flows induced by thermal gradients are caused by forces that act on atoms or molecules near an interface. These thermo-osmotic forces cannot, at present, be derived analytically or measured experimentally. Clearly, it would be useful to calculate these forces via molecular simulations, but direct approaches fail because in the steady-state, the average force per particle vanishes, as the thermo-osmotic force is balanced by a gradient in shear stress. In our journey to indirectly calculate the osmotic force, we met another unknown in the field of molecular theory at interfaces: the microscopic pressure tensor. The latter is an open problem since the microscopic pressure near an interface is not uniquely defined. Using local thermodynamics theories, we relate the thermo-osmotic force to the gradient of the microscopic pressure tensor. Yet, because the pressure is not uniquely defined, we arrive at multiple answers for the thermo-osmotic force, where at most one can be correct. To resolve the latter puzzle, we develop a direct, non-equilibrium simulation protocol to measure the thermo-osmotic force, whereby a thermal gradient is imposed and the osmotic force is measured by eliminating the shear force. Surprisingly, we find that the osmotic force cannot be derived from the gradient of well-known microscopic pressure expressions. We, therefore, derive a thermodynamic expression that gets close. In this work, we report the first, direct calculation of the thermo-osmotic force while simultaneously showing that standard microscopic pressure expressions fail to predict pressure gradients.

description: A remarkable feature of a lattice Dirac operator is discussed. Unlike the Dirac operator for massless fermions in the continuum, this Ginsparg-Wilson lattice Dirac operator does not possess topological zero modes for any topologically-nontrivial background gauge fields, even though it is exponentially-local, doublers-free, and reproduces correct axial anomaly for topologically-trivial gauge configurations.

description: We present an open-access database which includes a synthetic catalog of black holes in the Milky Way. To calculate evolution of single and binary stars we used updated population synthesis code StarTrack. We applied a new model of star formation history and chemical evolution of Galactic disk, bulge and halo synthesized from observational and theoretical data. We find that at the current moment Milky Way (disk+bulge+halo) contains about 1.2 x 10^8 single black holes with average mass of about 14 Msun and 9.3 x 10^6 BHs in binary systems with average mass of 19 Msun. We present basic statistical properties of BH populations such as distributions of single and binary BH masses, velocities, orbital parameters or numbers of BH binary systems in different evolutionary configurations. We find that the most massive BHs are formed in mergers of binary systems, such as BH-MS, BH+He, BH-BH. The metallicity of stellar population has a significant impact on the final BH mass due to the stellar winds. Therefore the most massive single BH in our simulation, 113 Msun, originates from a merger of a helium star and a black hole in a low metallicity stellar environment in Galactic halo. The most massive BH in binary system is 60 Msun and was also formed in Galactic halo. We constrain that only 0.006% of total Galactic halo mass (including dark matter) could be hidden in the form of stellar origin BHs which are not detectable by current observational surveys. Galactic binary BHs are minority (10% of all Galactic BHs) and most of them are in BH-BH systems. The current Galactic merger rates for two considered common envelope models which are: 3-81 Myr^-1 for BH-BH, 1-9 Myr^-1, for BH-NS and 14-59 Myr^-1 for NS-NS systems.

We point out that this agreement is achieved by a wrong calculation of the DGDR excitation mechanism. We also argue that the agreement with the data for the widths of resonances is achieved by an unrealistically large value of a model parameter.

description: This dissertation examines the motion of colloids in a temperature gradient, a non-equilibrium phenomenon also known as thermophoresis. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the existing applications and basic concepts of thermophoresis and outlines some of the experimental and theoretical challenges that serve as a motivation for this PhD project. In Chapter 2, a general theoretical description for thermophoresis is formulated using the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The colloidal flux is split up into an interfacial single-colloid contribution and a bulk contribution, followed by a determination of transport coefficients based on Onsager’s reciprocal relations. It is further shown how the phenomenological expression of the thermophoretic flux can be recovered when the fluid is at steady-state. The results issuing from this description are then discussed and compared to other existing approaches, some of which are shown to neglect the hydrodynamic character of colloidal thermophoresis. Chapter 3 is dedicated to the validation of the introduced theoretical framework by means of computer simulations, using a simulation technique known as multi-particle collision dynamics. More specifically, the dependence of the thermophoretic force on different system parameters is examined and deviations from the theoretical prediction are explained by an advective distortion of interfacial fluid properties at the colloidal surface. Chapter 4 presents steady-state measurements of functionalised colloids in a temperature gradient, showing how the addition of molecular surface groups increases the experimental complexity of thermophoretic motion. The relaxation process behind this steady-state is also studied, to determine how the relaxation speed depends on the applied temperature gradient. In chapter 5, a general conclusion is drawn from the presented work and its implications are briefly discussed in relation to the current state of knowledge. Finally, the discussion is closed with an outlook on remaining challenges in understanding colloidal motion that could be the subject of future research.

description: With the passage of the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983, dairy farmer investment in product research, advertising and promotion in the United States increases from $60 million to $200 million annually. A key decision faced by the Boards managing these funds is how best to allocate advertising funds among the various dairy products. In this paper an economic model is developed that shows the allocation of funds to fluid milk and cheese that would maximize sales in a given market. the model is applied ti the New York City market with results suggesting that over the study period diverting funds from fluid milk to cheese advertising would have enhanced milk-equivalent sales in the market by as much as 1.17 percent or 8.21 million gallons annually. Alternatively, the model suggests that the same sales level could have been achieved with a different allocation of funds resulting in an estimated 14.6 percent savings in the amount spent advertising the two products

description: We present Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the radio source J1625+4134 at 22 and 15 GHz and analyze them in concurrence with other existing VLBI data on this source. The high resolution images at 15 and 22 GHz show a short and bending jet which has about $270\degr$ difference in position angle with the northern jet detected at lower frequencies. The new high resolution data, combined with the data available in the literature, allow us to estimate the spectral index of the components and identify one of the compact components as the VLBI core based on its flat spectrum between 5 and 22 GHz. Relative to this core component, the jet appears to be bi-directional. The proper motion measurement of the component C2 and the estimate of the Doppler boosting factor suggest that the orientation of the jet is close to the line of sight. The projection effect of an intrinsically sharply bending jet within a few mas from the core or the erratic change in the nozzle direction of the jet may account for the uncommon bi-directional structure of the jet in J1625+4134.

description: The zygote and blastomeres of cleavage stage mouse embryos have the capacity to differentiate to the embryonic and both extra-embryonic lineages and are considered functionally totipotent. Until now, it has not been possible to establish stable cell lines that resemble these totipotent-like cells. In this work, I hypothesised that by modulating signalling pathways known to be important in early embryonic development it may be possible to capture in vitro a self-renewing state that possessed features of pre-implantation blastomeres. I succeeded in formulating a novel hypothesis driven cell culture medium which allowed the establishment of a stem cell state that possessed expanded differentiation potential to the embryonic and both extra-embryonic lineages in vitro and in vivo. These cells were isolated directly from in vitro culture of mouse pre-implantation embryos or single cell blastomeres, reprogrammed from somatic cells or converted from mouse ES cells. With these cells, I generated single cell chimeras which demonstrated extensive contribution to all lineages in the developing organism providing additional evidence that this chemical medium maintained a homogenous stem cell population. I demonstrated that the transcriptome of these cells was enriched with an early pre-implantation blastomere signature, distinct from other rare published totipotent-like cells. Finally, I demonstrated that the same chemical formulation permitted the establishment in vitro of a human stem cell state that possessed expanded differentiation potential to the embryonic and extra-embryonic lineage in vitro. My work has shown for the first time that through chemical modulation of pathways implicated to be involved in pre-implantation development, a novel homogenous stem cell state that possesses a pre-implantation transcriptional signature and expanded differentiation potential to both the embryonic and extra-embryonic lineage can be established and maintained in vitro in both mouse and human, suggesting a possible interspecies conservation of the signalling networks involved in early embryonic development.

Effects of Temporal Expectation on Complex Decision Making

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2018
Subjects: Decision making
Temporal expectation
Selective attention
Timing
Sound lateralisation

description: Many complex decisions require integrating and assessing multiple streams of dynamic information whilst determining how to act. This dynamic information often contains rhythmic structures which our sensory systems can adapt to and use to anticipate future events. Despite the close relationship between rhythmic temporal expectations and complex decision making being self evident, no experiments explicitly attempt to understand this interdependence. If the theories that have emerged from both domains are to generalise to complex interactive behaviour, the effects of dynamic context on complex decisions must be considered. I argue that timing research must move beyond simple decisions and develop a new experimental framework for addressing the problem. This includes increasing the complexity of experimental tasks, testing the effects of timing on perceptual averaging and subjective value decisions, incorporating timing as an inherent dimension of targets, testing degrees of aperiodicity and exploring the effects that prior knowledge about the temporal structure of a stimulus has on choice. Seven behavioural experiments are reported that implement the new experimental framework. Five use a complex auditory-spatial averaging task to examine effects of periodicity, expectation, prior knowledge and related parameters such as IOI variance. One tests the effects of rhythmic variability and stimulus duration on auditory detection to determine specificity to complex decision making, and one investigates the effects of timing on audio-visual subjective value decisions. The results show that existing theories of temporal expectation do not necessarily generalise to complex decision making. Periodicity reduces the amount of information that is needed to form complex decisions. However, the effects of periodicity (or degree of aperiodicity) on choice are dependent on a number of factors associated with prior knowledge, stimulus rate, variance, decision type and task complexity. Using these findings I develop an explanatory framework called "dynamic inhibition and boosting" that better accounts for behavioural data in the literature compared with existing theories. This explanation is supported by the novel proposal that temporal expectations influence confidence and perceived risk.

description: This analysis shows that non-sampling biases like consistency and saliency effects are real in the Indian population. Consequently, researchers should carefully consider them while designing a survey. Data from a phone survey of social attitudes in India which uses Qualtrics to randomly assign respondents to different question orders suggests that a significantly higher proportion of respondents support a law prohibiting marriage between high and low caste individuals when the question is preceded by two more personal questions on whether they would oppose or not oppose a family member marrying a low caste person or a person from a different religion. Similarly, within the two personal questions, we observe that a significantly higher proportion report that they would oppose a relative marrying a low caste person when the question appears after they have been asked if they would oppose or not oppose a family member marrying a person of a different religion.
A HR-like Diagram for Solar/Stellar Flares and Corona -- Emission Measure vs Temperature Diagram

description: In our previous paper, we have presented a theory to explain the observed universal correlation between the emission measure ($EM=n^2 V$) and temperature (T) for solar/stellar flares on the basis of the magnetic reconnection model with heat conduction and chromospheric evaporation. Here n is the electron density and V is the volume. By extending our theory to general situations, we examined the EM-T diagram in detail, and found the following properties: 1) The universal correlation sequence (``main sequence flares'') with $EM \propto T^{17/2}$ corresponds to the case of constant heating flux or equivalently the case of constant magnetic field strength in the reconnection model. 2) The EM-T diagram has a forbidden region, where gas pressure of flares exceeds magnetic pressure. 3) There is a coronal branch with $EM \propto T^{15/2}$ for $T< 10^7$ K, and $EM \propto T^{13/2}$ for $T> 10^7$ K. This branch is situated left side of the main sequence flares in the EM-T diagram. 4) There is another forbidden region determined by the length of flare loop; a lower limit of flare loop is $10^7$ cm. Small flares near this limit correspond to nanoflares observed by SOHO/EIT. 5) We can plot flare evolution track on the EM-T diagram. A flare evolves from the coronal branch to main sequence flares, then returns to the coronal branch eventually. These properties of the EM-T diagram are similar to those of the HR diagram for stars, and thus we propose that the EM-T diagram is quite useful to estimate the physical quantities (loop length, heating flux, magnetic field strength, total energy and so on) of flares and corona when there is no spatially resolved imaging observations.

Predictions are made for hadronic and radiative decays of the Upsilon states. In the limit of large $\tanβ$, the dominant decay mode of the light scalar Higgs boson is into a pair of light bottom squarks that materialize as jets of hadrons.

description: Many works have concentrated on the observable signatures of the dark matter being an ultralight axion-like particle (ALP). We concentrate on a particularly dramatic signature in the late-time cosmological matter power spectrum that occurs if the symmetry breaking that establishes the ALP happens after inflation -- white-noise density fluctuations that dominate at small scales over the adiabatic fluctuations from inflation. These fluctuations alter the early history of nonlinear structure formation. We find that for symmetry breaking scales of $f_A \sim 10^{13}-10^{15}$GeV, which requires a high effective maximum temperature after inflation, ALP dark matter with particle mass of $m_A \sim 10^{-13}-10^{-20}$eV could significantly change the number of high-redshift dwarf galaxies, the reionization history, and the Ly$α$ forest. We consider all three observables. We find that the Ly$α$ forest is the most constraining of current observables, excluding $f_A \gtrsim 10^{15}$GeV ($m_A \lesssim 10^{-17}$eV) in the simplest model for the ALP and considerably lower values in models coupled to a hidden strongly interacting sector ($f_A \gtrsim 10^{13}$GeV and $m_A \lesssim 10^{-13}$eV). Observations that constrain the extremely high-redshift tail of reionization may disfavor similar levels of isocurvature fluctuations as the forest. Future $z\sim 20-30$ 21cm observations have the potential to improve these constraints further using that the supersonic motions of the isocurvature-enhanced abundance of $\sim10^4M_\odot$ halos would shock heat the baryons, sourcing large BAO features.

description: This thesis presents a real-time automated building progress monitoring solution for indoor environments using a mobile device. Such a system could prompt accurate and timely assessment of work progress that would allow managers to make adjustments and minimise both time and cost overrun when deviations from the schedule occur. Although many researchers have proposed approaches for progress monitoring in outdoor scenes, these cannot perform in real-time and shift into the complex interior environment. Research efforts for indoor environments are not fully automated and lead to errors in more complex scenes. Systems based on mobile devices could potentially enhance the inspection process and reduce the required time by allowing the inspector to acquire progress data by simply walking around the site. The main challenge of these systems is the tracking of the pose of the camera to achieve accurate alignment between the 3D design model and the real-world scene. Methods for estimating the user’s pose rely on a) tags on each target of interest, which require additional time and cost for installation and maintenance; b) pre-selected user locations, which restricts the user to those locations only; or c) GPS on the augmented reality headset, which only applies to outdoor inspections. Additionally, current mobile-based inspection systems do not perform any comparison between the captured as-built and the as-planned data. In this research, different marker-less Augmented Reality (AR) potential methods were implemented and tested for finding the most robust tracking solution. The Microsoft HoloLens was found to be the top performer for tracking the user’s pose and for overall user-experience. Next, a semi-automated method was developed for initially registering the 3D model to the real environment by exploiting information from detected floor and wall surfaces. Results showed that this method reduces the time of the initial registration by 58%. Having the 3D model aligned to the real environment and knowing the pose of the camera at every moment, an automated method was developed that exploits the captured as-built surface mesh data from the mobile device, compares it against the 3D design model and identifies in real-time whether an object has been built according to plan. Different parameters were tested for finding the optimum combination based on the current quality of mesh data. If quality of mesh data changes, then new parameters should be explored. Finally, the proposed solution was tested in real site conditions resulting in 76.6% precision, 100.0% recall, and 83.5% accuracy.

description: A simple contactless method suitable to discern between the intergrain (circular) current, which flows in the thin superconducting ring, and the intragrain current, which does not cross the weakest link, has been proposed. At first, we show that the intergrain current may directly be estimated from the magnetic flux density $B(\pm z_0)$ measured by the Hall sensor positioned in the special points $\pm z_0$ above/below the ring center. The experimental and the numerical techniques to determine the value $z_0$ are discussed. Being very promising for characterization of a current flowing across the joints in welded YBaCuO rings (its dependencies on the temperature and the external magnetic field as well as the time dissipation), the approach has been applied to study corresponding properties of the intra- and intergrain currents flowing across the $a$-twisted grain boundaries which are frequent in bulk melt-textured YBaCuO samples. We present experimental data related to the flux penetration inside a bore of MT YBaCuO rings both in the non-magnetized, virgin state and during the field reversal. The shielding properties and their dependence on external magnetic fields are also studied. Besides, we consider the flux creep effects and their influence on the current re-distribution during a dwell.

Electric and magnetic axion quark nuggets, their stability and their detection

description: The present work studies the dynamics of axion quark nuggets introduced in \cite{zhitnitsky} and exploited in the works \cite{zhitnitsky2}-\cite{zhitnitsky13}. The new feature considered here is the possibility that these nuggets become ferromagnetic. This possibility was pointed out in \cite{tatsumi}, although ferromagnetism may also take place due some anomaly terms found in \cite{son}-\cite{son2}. The purpose of the present letter however, is not to give evidence in favor or against these statements. Instead, it is focused in some direct consequences of this ferromagnetic behavior, if it exists. The first is that the nugget magnetic field induces an electric field due to the axion wall, which may induce pair production by Schwinger effect. Depending on the value of the magnetic field, the pair production can be quite large. A critical value for such magnetic field at the surface of the nugget is obtained, and it is argued that the value of the magnetic field of \cite{tatsumi} is at the verge of stability and may induce large pair production. The consequences of this enhanced pair production may be unclear. It may indicate that the the nugget evaporates, but on the other hand it may be just an indication that the intrinsic magnetic field disappears and the nuggets evolves to a non magnetized state such as \cite{zhitnitsky}-\cite{zhitnitsky13}. The interaction of such magnetic and electric nugget with the troposphere of the earth is also analyzed. However, if the magnetic field does not decay before the actual universe, then this would lead to high energy electron flux due to its interaction with the electron gases of the Milky Way. This suggests that these magnetized quarks may be a considerably part of dark matter, but only if their hypothetical magnetic and electric fields are evaporated.

description: Two new chromone derivatives, 7-hydroxy-2-[2-(3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]chromone (1), and 6,7-dimethoxy-2-[2-(3'-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]chromone (2) were isolated from the EtOH extract of agarwood of Aquilaria sinensis, together with eleven known analogues. Their structures were established by detailed HR-ESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, as well as comparison with the literature data. Selected the isolates (1, 2, 4–8, 10, 11) were tested for their antitumor activities against SMMC-7721, MGC-803 and OV-90 cell lines using the MTT method with cisplatin and paclitaxel as the positive control. All the tested compounds showed weak cytotoxic activities with IC50 values ranged from 18.82 to 37.95 µg/ml.

description: This thesis examines the impacts of human-elephant conflict on human wellbeing and the implications for elephant conservation and management in Trans Mara District, Kenya. The District comprises communal lands bordering the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve in southwestern Kenya. Trans Mara supports a range of land use types and provides refuge to one of Kenya’s large elephant population comprised of over 3,000 transient and 500 resident animals. This study used interdisciplinary methods to gain insights into the nature and consequences of conflict on the wellbeing of communities living with elephants. In particular, I used a combination of existing wellbeing indices and a set of indicators developed through consultations with local communities in TM to measure impacts of HEC on specific wellbeing domains. The results show that elephants still use the communal lands in Trans Mara but are increasingly restricted to the riverine forest remnants in central Trans Mara. However, there was no evidence of a further decline in the elephant range. Instead, this study points to a shift in elephant range against a background of increasing human settlement, land sub-division and agricultural expansion. The wellbeing of Trans Mara residents comprised eight indicators. Human-elephant conflict negatively affected peoples’ wellbeing, but the impacts were limited to certain dimensions. Elephants affected school-going children within elephant range. Attitudes towards elephants and its conservation in TM were influenced by the location of human residence relative to elephant refuge, diversity of income sources, and age and gender. Finally, conflict mitigation in Trans Mara is still elusive and challenging, but opportunities exist to develop simple and dynamic mitigation tools. The findings of this study have important implications for the future of elephant conservation in the face of competing human needs, both in Trans Mara District and elsewhere in Africa.
