Possible correlation effects of surface state electrons on a solid hydrogen film
We have investigated the transport properties of surface state electrons on thin quench-condensed hydrogen films for various electron densities. The surface state electron mobility showed a continuous dependence on the plasma parameter Gamma in the range from 20 to 130, indicating a strong influence of correlation effects within the electron system for all measured values of Gamma
Privacy and Curiosity in Mobile Interactions with Public Displays.
Personal multimedia devices like mobile phones create new needs for larger displays distributed at specific points in the environment to look up information about the current place, playing games or exchanging multimedia data. The technical prerequisites are covered; however, using public displays always exposing information. In this paper we look at these issues from the privacy as well as from the curiosity perspective with several studies showing and confirming users’ reservations against public interactions. Interactive advertisements can exploit this best using specific types of interaction techniques
The case for an aggressive program of dark energy probes
The observed cosmic acceleration presents the physics and cosmology
communities with amazing opportunities to make exciting, probably even radical
advances in these fields. This topic is highly data driven and many of our
opportunities depend on us undertaking an ambitious observational program. Here
I outline the case for such a program based on both the exciting science
related to the cosmic acceleration and the impressive impact that a strong
observational program would have. Along the way, I challenge a number of
arguments that skeptics use to question the value of a strong observational
commitment to this field.Comment: 10 Pages including two figures. Plenary talk at PASCOS 0
Quantitative spectral inequalities for the anisotropic Shubin operators and applications to null-controllability
We prove quantitative spectral inequalities for the (anisotropic) Shubin
operators on the whole Euclidean space, thus relating for functions from
spectral subspaces associated to finite energy intervals their -norm on
the whole space to the -norm on a suitable subset. A particular feature of
our estimates is that the constant relating these -norms is very explicit
in geometric parameters of the corresponding subset of the whole space, which
may become sparse at infinity and may even have finite measure. This extends
results obtained recently by J. Martin and, in the particular case of the
harmonic oscillator, by A. Dicke, I. Veseli\'c, and the second author. We apply
our results towards null-controllability of the associated parabolic equations,
as well as to the ones associated to the (degenerate) Baouendi-Grushin
operators acting on .Comment: 23 pages; title changed and added references. Major changes include
new results on Baouendi-Grushin equation; previous results on the Grushin
operator have been removed to appear in a separate pape
The Role of Power and Negotiation in Online Deception
The purpose of this paper is to advance theoretical understanding of the important role of both power and negotiation during online deception. By so doing, the paper provides insight into the relationship between perpetrator and victim in Internet fraud. The growing prevalence of Internet Fraud continues to be a burden to both society and individuals. In an attempt to better understand Internet fraud and online deception, this article attempts to build an interactive model, based upon the dimensions of power and negotiation from the management and psychology literature. Using the model presented, the article examines the effects of the Internet on the communication process that takes place between perpetrator and victim. Finally, the article discusses some of the major tactics employed to appeal to each power type in predominant fraud forms, as well exploring future types of fraud
Nutrition and Vascular Supply of Retinal Ganglion Cells during Human Development
Purpose: To review the roles of the different vascular beds nourishing the inner retina [retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)] during normal development of the human eye, using our own tissue specimens to support our conclusions.
Methods: An extensive search of the appropriate literature included PubMed, Google scholar, and numerous available textbooks. In addition, choroidal and retinal NADPH-diaphorase stained whole mount preparations were investigated.
Results: The first critical interaction between vascular bed and RGC formation occurs in the sixth to eighth month of gestation leading to a massive reduction of RGCs mainly in the peripheral retina. The first 3 years of age are characterized by an intense growth of the eyeball to near adult size. In the adult eye, the influence of the choroid on inner retinal nutrition was determined by examining the peripheral retinal watershed zones in more detail.
Conclusion: This delicately balanced situation of RGC nutrition is described in the different regions of the eye, and a new graphic presentation is introduced to combine morphological measurements and clinical visual field data
Subradiant states of quantum bits coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide
The properties of coupled emitters can differ dramatically from those of
their individual constituents. Canonical examples include sub- and
super-radiance, wherein the decay rate of a collective excitation is reduced or
enhanced due to correlated interactions with the environment. Here, we
systematically study the properties of collective excitations for regularly
spaced arrays of quantum emitters coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide.
We find that, for low excitation numbers, the modal properties are
well-characterized by spin waves with a definite wavevector. Moreover, the
decay rate of the most subradiant modes obeys a universal scaling with a cubic
suppression in the number of emitters. Multi-excitation subradiant eigenstates
can be built from fermionic combinations of single excitation eigenstates; such
"fermionization" results in multiple excitations that spatially repel one
another. We put forward a method to efficiently create and measure such
subradiant states, which can be realized with superconducting qubits. These
measurement protocols probe both real-space correlations (using on-site
dispersive readout) and temporal correlations in the emitted field (using
photon correlation techniques).Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
