Backflow in a Fermi Liquid
We calculate the backflow current around a fixed impurity in a Fermi liquid.
The leading contribution at long distances is radial and proportional to 1/r^2.
It is caused by the current induced density modulation first discussed by
Landauer. The familiar 1/r^3 dipolar backflow obtained in linear response by
Pines and Nozieres is only the next to leading term, whose strength is
calculated here to all orders in the scattering. In the charged case the
condition of perfect screening gives rise to a novel sum rule for the phase
shifts. Similar to the behavior in a classical viscous liquid, the friction
force is due only to the leading contribution in the backflow while the dipolar
term does not contribute.Comment: 4 pages, 1 postscript figure, uses ReVTeX and epsfig macro, submitted

Longitudinal Force on a Moving Potential
We show a formal result of the longitudinal force acting on a moving
potential. The potential can be velocity-dependent, which appears in various
interesting physical systems, such as electrons in the presence of a magnetic
flux-line, or phonons scattering off a moving vortex. By using the phase-shift
analysis, we are able to show the equivalence between the adiabatic
perturbation theory and the kinetic theory for the longitudinal force in the
dilute gas limit.Comment: RevTeX, 4 pages, revised tex
Predictive model-based quality inspection using Machine Learning and Edge Cloud Computing
© 2020 The Authors The supply of defect-free, high-quality products is an important success factor for the long-term competitiveness of manufacturing companies. Despite the increasing challenges of rising product variety and complexity and the necessity of economic manufacturing, a comprehensive and reliable quality inspection is often indispensable. In consequence, high inspection volumes turn inspection processes into manufacturing bottlenecks. In this contribution, we investigate a new integrated solution of predictive model-based quality inspection in industrial manufacturing by utilizing Machine Learning techniques and Edge Cloud Computing technology. In contrast to state-of-the-art contributions, we propose a holistic approach comprising the target-oriented data acquisition and processing, modelling and model deployment as well as the technological implementation in the existing IT plant infrastructure. A real industrial use case in SMT manufacturing is presented to underline the procedure and benefits of the proposed method. The results show that by employing the proposed method, inspection volumes can be reduced significantly and thus economic advantages can be generated
Processing of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) differs in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells versus mature lymphocytes
Novel Hepatitis E Virus Genotype in Norway Rats, Germany
Human hepatitis E virus infections may be caused by zoonotic transmission of virus genotypes 3 and 4. To determine whether rodents are a reservoir, we analyzed the complete nucleotide sequence of a hepatitis E–like virus from 2 Norway rats in Germany. The sequence suggests a separate genotype for this hepatotropic virus
Microscopic theory of vortex dynamics in homogeneous superconductors
Vortex dynamics in fermionic superfluids is carefully considered from the
microscopic point of view. Finite temperatures, as well as impurities, are
explicitly incorporated. To enable readers understand the physical
implications, macroscopic demonstrations based on thermodynamics and
fluctuations- dissipation theorems are constructed. For the first time a clear
summary and a critical review of previous results are given.Comment: Presentations are made more straightforward. A detailed presentation
that why the vortex friction is finite when the geometric phase exists, as
required by referees, though I think it is obviou
Floquet Formalism of Quantum Pumps
We review Floquet formalism of quantum electron pumps. In the Floquet
formalism the quantum pump is regarded as a time dependent scattering system,
which allows us to go beyond the adiabatic limit. It can be shown that the
well-known adiabatic formula given by Brouwer can be derived from the adiabatic
limit of Floquet formalism. We compare various physical properties of the
quantum pump both in the adiabatic and in the non-adiabatic regime using the
Floquet theory.Comment: Latex2e 16 pages, 6 figures. A review paper to appear in Int. J. Mod.
