    Coupling nanomechanical cantilevers to dipolar molecules

    Full text link
    We investigate the coupling of a nanomechanical oscillator in the quantum regime with molecular (electric) dipoles. We find theoretically that the cantilever can produce single-mode squeezing of the center-of-mass motion of an isolated trapped molecule and two-mode squeezing of the phonons of an array of molecules. This work opens up the possibility of manipulating dipolar crystals, which have been recently proposed as quantum memory, and more generally, is indicative of the promise of nanoscale cantilevers for the quantum detection and control of atomic and molecular systems.Comment: 3 figures, 4page

    In this analysis, we use the ant behaviour in simulating a framework for analysis of complex interplay amongst short time-scale deformation, long time- scale tectonics for positive stress coupling and slip interactions in earthquake genesis modeling. Using the proposed improved ant colony algorithm for global optimization the best solution ants within the search and the circulation of the optimal solution as the initial solution search, to expand its search, to avoid falling into local optimum  of  trigger zones analysis for earthquake occurrences. In order to validate the avalanche behaviour and corresponding nucleation we  best solution as the initial solution is adopted in order to widen searching scope to avoid getting into local optimum . In this proposed framework, an ant colony model is simulated to identify the physical framework of identifying trigger basins for the precursors to geodynamic model of propagation for precursory stress-strain signals. The disturbances at trigger basins cause the collapse of a subsystem leading to stress evolution and slip nucleation. Trigger basins help identify the zone of earthquake source nucleation as an index of ? and ? for strain analysis. The stress strain network can be interpreted by the increase in steady-state energy transmitted due to redistribution of stress accumulation into the earth tectonic framework. Sand pile behaviour model has been modeled through ant colony optimization for forecasting of likelihood time of triggering influences of lithosphere on the basis of critical zones of lithosphere where dump of elastic pressure is possible. The ant colony adaptive framework consisted of vertices representing the stress-strain component and edges, representing scored transformations for global coupling effects have been constructed for dynamic monitoring of stress and strain behaviour. Triggering basins serve as harbingers of large earthquake where stress-strain interactions have been analyzed by the quasi-static mechanics of seismic precursory stress-strain propagation in the crustal lithosphere. The study shows that dynamic variation of stress drop due to saved up pressure can be modeled by ant colony framework for steady state release due to trigger and global correlation framework. The simulation framework shows that with time, spatial triggering points can be negatively coupled and these interact with lesser impact, while positive coupling occurs only with more distant zones of stress generation for geodynamic frameworks, suggesting that the structural heterogeneities within the causative rocks associated with cracks and pores can dictate the pattern of stress – strain interactions and earthquake generating processes.

    Stability of the density-wave state of a dipolar condensate in a pancake trap

    Full text link
    We study a dipolar boson-fermion mixture in a pancake geometry at absolute zero temperature, generalizing our previous work on the stability of polar condensates and the formation of a density-wave state in cylindrical traps. After examining the dependence of the polar condensate stability on the strength of the fermion-induced interaction, we determine the transition point from a ground-state Gaussian to a hexagonal density-wave state. We use a variational principle to analyze the stability properties of those density-wave state

    Studies on Inheritance of Geneic Male Sterility (GMS) and Hybrid Seed Production in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.]

    Inheritance of geneic male sterility in GMS line MS-1 of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.] was studied using F1, F2 and test-cross generations of crosses between GMS line MS-1 and normal fertile genotypes, and the varieties Arka Anamika, Parbhani Kranti, Arka Abhay, IIHR-108-1-31, IIHR-109-20-6, IIHR-116-23-6, IIHR- 180-6-3, IIHR-161-10-1 and IIHR-130-2-10. All the F1 were found fertile. Segregation of pollen fertility in F2 and test - cross generations involving ms1 was segregated in the ratio 1 fertile: 1 sterile, respectively. This indicated that GMS trait in the line is controlled by a single recessive gene (ms1ms1). Large-scale F1 hybrid seed production in okra becomes rather slow due to the tedious hand-emasculation, followed by hand-pollination, incurring additional labour and cost of F1 seed production. In comparison to fertile lines, this saves approximately 70% time and manual labour. Use of Geneic Male Sterile (GMS) line MS-1 can make F1 hybrid seed production in okra easy and more economical compared to hand-emasculation

    Table Detection in Invoice Documents by Graph Neural Networks

    This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from IEEE via the DOI in this record.Tabular structures in documents offer a complementary dimension to the raw textual data, representing logical or quantitative relationships among pieces of information. In digital mail room applications, where a large amount of administrative documents must be processed with reasonable accuracy, the detection and interpretation of tables is crucial. Table recognition has gained interest in document image analysis, in particular in unconstrained formats (absence of rule lines, unknown information of rows and columns). In this work, we propose a graph-based approach for detecting tables in document images. Instead of using the raw content (recognized text), we make use of the location, context and content type, thus it is purely a structure perception approach, not dependent on the language and the quality of the text reading. Our framework makes use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in order to describe the local repetitive structural information of tables in invoice documents. Our proposed model has been experimentally validated in two invoice datasets and achieved encouraging results. Additionally, due to the scarcity of benchmark datasets for this task, we have contributed to the community a novel dataset derived from the RVL-CDIP invoice data. It will be publicly released to facilitate future research.European Unio

    The anisotropic Heisenberg chain in coexisting transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields

    Full text link
    The one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZXXZ model in a mixed transverse and longitudinal magnetic field is studied. Using the specially developed version of the mean-field approximation the order-disorder transition induced by the magnetic field is investigated. The ground state phase diagram is obtained. The behavior of the model in low transverse field is studied on the base of conformal field theory. The relevance of our results to the observed phase transition in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet Cs2CoCl4Cs_2 Co Cl_4 is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
