Measuring Galaxy Cluster Mass Profiles Into The Low-Acceleration Regime With Galaxy Kinematics, Pengfei Li, Stacy S. Mcgaugh Aug 2023

Measuring Galaxy Cluster Mass Profiles Into The Low-Acceleration Regime With Galaxy Kinematics, Pengfei Li, Stacy S. Mcgaugh

Faculty Scholarship

We probed the dynamical mass profiles of ten galaxy clusters from the HIghest X-ray FLUx Galaxy Cluster Sample (HIFLUGCS) using galaxy kinematics. We numerically solved the spherical Jeans equation and parameterize the dynamical mass profile and the galaxy velocity anisotropy profile using two general functions to ensure that our results are not biased toward any specific model. The mass-velocity anisotropy degeneracy is ameliorated by using two virial shape parameters that depend on the fourth moment of velocity distribution. The resulting velocity anisotropy estimates consistently show a nearly isotropic distribution in the inner regions, with an increasing radial anisotropy toward large …

Determining the pressure and content of coal seam gas based on pressure-preserved coring is an effective method for quickly and accurately calculating gas parameters. Coal seam gas is a multi-component gas mixture dominated by methane. Given that coals show different adsorption capacities for different gases and that the components in the mixed gas exhibit different partial pressures, the proportions of gas components can influence the calculation results of the content and pressure of coal seam gas. To accurately determine the in-situ gas pressure in coal seams based on the pressure-preserved coring, this study investigated the influence of gas components on …

Search For Magnetoelectric Monopole Response In Cr2O3 Powder, Syed Qamar Abbas Shah, Ather Mahmood, Arun Parthasarathy, Christian H. Binek

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

Powder samples have been suggested as a pathway to fabricate isotropic magnetoelectric (ME) materials which effectively only have a pseudoscalar or monopole ME response. We demonstrate that random distribution of ME grains alone does not warrant isotropic ME response because the activation of a nonvanishing ME response requires a ME field cooling protocol which tends to induce preferred axes.We investigate the evolution of ME susceptibility in powder chromia samples for various ME field cooling protocols both theoretically and experimentally. In particular, we work out the theoretical expressions for ME susceptibility for powder chromia in the framework of statistical mechanics where …

Simulation Of Pedestrian Emergency Evacuation Considering Terrorist Attack Mode, Shuchao Cao, Jialong Qian

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To investigate pedestrian evacuation under the sudden terrorist attack, an evacuation model is established for pedestrians taking into account the terrorist attack mode. The terrorist can take two strategies including attacking the nearest pedestrian and attacking the crowd in the model. The evacuation time, casualties and location distribution in various scenarios under different attack modes are analyzed. The results show that pedestrians need to maintain a proper escape intention when avoiding the terrorist. The closer the initial position of the terrorists to the exit, the greater the number of casualties and the longer the evacuation time. The effect of …

Differential Calculus: From Practice To Theory, Eugene Boman, Robert Rogers Aug 2023

Differential Calculus: From Practice To Theory, Eugene Boman, Robert Rogers

Milne Open Textbooks

Differential Calculus: From Practice to Theory covers all of the topics in a typical first course in differential calculus. Initially it focuses on using calculus as a problem solving tool (in conjunction with analytic geometry and trigonometry) by exploiting an informal understanding of differentials (infinitesimals). As much as possible large, interesting, and important historical problems (the motion of falling bodies and trajectories, the shape of hanging chains, the Witch of Agnesi) are used to develop key ideas. Only after skill with the computational tools of calculus has been developed is the question of rigor seriously broached. At that point, the …

An Improved Source Of Spin-Polarized Electrons Based On Spin Exchange In Optically Pumped Rubidium Vapor, K. J. Ahrendsen, Kenneth Wayne Trantham, D. Tupa, T. J. Gay

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

We have improved a polarized electron source in which unpolarized electrons undergo collisions with a mixture of buffer gas molecules and optically spin-polarized Rb atoms. With a nitrogen buffer gas, the source reliably provides spin polarization between 15% and 25% with beam currents >4 μA. Vacuum pump upgrades mitigate problems caused by denatured diffusion pump oil, leading to longer run times. A new differential pumping scheme allows the use of higher buffer gas pressures up to 800 mTorr. With a new optics layout, the Rb polarization is continuously monitored by a probe laser and improved pump laser power provides more …

A Compendious Review Of Majorization-Based Resource Theories: Quantum Information And Quantum Thermodynamics, Gökhan Torun, Onur Pusuluk, Özgür Esat Müstecaplioğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

The field of quantum resource theory (QRT) has emerged as an invaluable framework for the examination of small and strongly correlated quantum systems, surpassing the boundaries imposed by traditional statistical treatments. The fundamental objective of general QRTs is to characterize these systems by precisely quantifying the level of control attainable to an experimenter. In this review article, we refrain from providing an exhaustive summary of the extensive literature on QRT. Rather, our focus centers on a specific subliterature founded upon the theory of majorization. The primary aim is to augment our comprehension of genuine quantum phenomena manifested across diverse technological …
