Axion-Polaritons In The Magnetic Dual Chiral Density Wave Phase Of Dense Qcd, Efrain J. Ferrer, Vivian De La Incera
Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications
We investigate the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in the magnetic dual chiral density wave (MDCDW) phase of dense quark matter. Considering the theory of low-energy fluctuations in this phase, we show how linearly polarized photons reaching the MDCDW medium couple to the fluctuation field to produce two hybridized modes of propagation that we call in analogy with similar phenomenon in condensed matter physics axion polaritons, one of them being gapless and the other gapped. The gapped mode's gap is proportional to the background magnetic field and inversely proportional to the amplitude of the inhomogeneous condensate. The generation of axion …

Single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) can be used to visualize transcriptional activation at the single allele level. We and others have applied this approach to better understand the mechanisms of activation by steroid nuclear receptors. However, there is limited understanding of the interconnection between the activation of target gene alleles inside the same nucleus and within large cell populations.
Using the GREB1 gene as an early estrogen receptor (ER) response target, we applied smFISH to track E2-activated GREB1 allelic transcription over early time points to evaluate potential dependencies between alleles within the same nucleus. We compared two types …
Constrained Quantization For A Uniform Distribution With Respect To A Family Of Constraints, Megha Pandey, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury
Constrained Quantization For A Uniform Distribution With Respect To A Family Of Constraints, Megha Pandey, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury
School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, with respect to a family of constraints for a uniform probability distribution we determine the optimal sets of n-points and the nth constrained quantization errors for all positive integers n. We also calculate the constrained quantization dimension and the constrained quantization coefficient. The work in this paper shows that the constrained quantization dimension of an absolutely continuous probability measure depends on the family of constraints and is not always equal to the Euclidean dimension of the underlying space where the support of the probability measure is defined.

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications
Myeloid malignancies, a group of hematopoietic disorders that includes acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), are caused by the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) over time. Despite the relatively low number of genomic drivers compared with other forms of cancer, the process by which these changes shape the genomic architecture of myeloid malignancies remains elusive. Recent advancements in clonal hematopoiesis research and the use of cutting-edge single cell technologies have shed new light on the developmental process of myeloid malignancies. In this review, we delve into the …

Wastewater surveillance has proved to be a valuable tool to track the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most studies using wastewater surveillance data revolve around establishing correlations and lead time relative to reported case data. In this perspective, we advocate for the integration of wastewater surveillance data with dynamic within-host and between-host models to better understand, monitor, and predict viral disease outbreaks. Dynamic models overcome emblematic difficulties of using wastewater surveillance data such as establishing the temporal viral shedding profile. Complementarily, wastewater surveillance data bypasses the issues of time lag and underreporting in clinical case report data, thus enhancing the utility and …

Accurate modeling of solar-driven direct contact membrane distillation systems (DCMD) can enhance the commercialization of these promising systems. However, the existing dynamic mathematical models for predicting the performance of these systems are complex and computationally expensive. This is due to the intermittent nature of solar energy and complex heat/mass transfer of different components of solar-driven DCMD systems (solar collectors, MD modules and storage tanks). This study applies a machine learning-based approach to model the dynamic nature of a solar-driven DCMD system for the first time. A small-scale rig was designed and fabricated to experimentally assess the performance of the system …

Understanding how the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine changes over time and in response to new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants is crucial to scheduling subsequent doses. In a previous study, Horne et al. (1) quantified vaccine effectiveness (VE) over 6 consecutive 4-week periods from 2 weeks to 26 weeks after the second dose. Waning of hazard ratios (HRs) when comparing vaccinated persons with unvaccinated persons was approximately log-linear over time and was consistent across COVID-19– related outcomes and risk-based subgroups. To investigate waning beyond 26 weeks and in the era of the Omicron variant, …

his paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation on the thermal properties of steel fibre-reinforced alkali-activated concrete (AAC) made by using multiple precursors at elevated temperatures. The temperature-dependent thermal properties such as mass change, thermal conductivity, density, specific heat, and thermal expansion are reported. The effects of temperature heating AAC, coarse aggregate, and steel fibre on the thermal performance of AAC are evaluated quantitatively. Experimental results show that high temperature greatly affects the thermal properties of AAC. Coarse aggregate and steel fibre also have a considerable influence on the thermal properties. Based on the test results, a multi-phase mesoscale model …

Accurate modeling is necessary to support precision experiments investigating strong-field QED phenomena. This modeling is particularly challenging in the transition between the perturbative and nonperturbative regimes, where the normalized laser amplitude a0 is comparable to unity and wavelength-scale interference is significant. Here, we describe how to simulate nonlinear Compton scattering, Breit–Wheeler pair creation, and trident pair creation in this regime, using the Monte Carlo particle-tracking code Ptarmigan. This code simulates collisions between high-intensity lasers and beams of electrons or γ rays, primarily in the framework of the locally monochromatic approximation. We benchmark our simulation results against full QED calculations for …

Microsoft Common Objects in Context (COCO) is a huge image dataset that has over 300 k images belonging to more than ninety-one classes. COCO has valuable information in the field of detection, segmentation, classification, and tagging; but the COCO dataset suffers from being unorganized, and classes in COCO interfere with each other. Dealing with it gives very low and unsatisfying results whether when calculating accuracy or intersection over the union in classification and segmentation algorithms. A simple method is proposed to create a customized subset from the COCO dataset by determining the class or class numbers. The suggested method is …
