Jet-associated deuteron production in pp collisions at [formula omitted] TeV

Deuteron production in high-energy collisions is sensitive to the space–time evolution of the collision system, and is typically described by a coalescence mechanism. For the first time, we present results on jet-associated deuteron production in pp collisions at s=13 TeV, providing an opportunity to test the established picture for deuteron production in events with a hard scattering. Using a trigger particle with high transverse-momentum (pT>5 GeV/c) as a proxy for the presence of a jet at midrapidity, we observe a measurable population of deuterons being produced around the jet proxy. The associated deuteron yield measured in a narrow angular range around the trigger particle differs by 2.4–4.8 standard deviations from the uncorrelated background. The data are described by PYTHIA model calculations featuring baryon coalescence.

Four Bosons EM Conservation Laws

Electromagnetism is expressed from two basic postulates. They are light invarianceand charge conservation. At this work one extends the Maxwell scenario from macroscopic to microscopic electromagnetism by following the elementary particles electric charge microscopic behavior. It yields a triune electric charge interrelationship. Three charges {+, 0, −} be exchanged through a vector bosons quadruplet. It is called Four Bosons Electromagnetism. A systemic EM physics appears to be understood. Maxwell photon is not enough for describing the microscopic electric charge physics. An extension for electromagnetic energy is obtained. The fields quadruplet {Aµ, Uµ, Vµ±} are the porters of electromagnetic energy. They are the usual photon Aµ, massive photon Uµ and two charged photons Vµ±, A new understanding on EM phenomena has to be considered. A set determinism based on granular and collective fields is developed. A space-time evolution associated to a whole.Conservation laws are studied. The EM phenomena is enlarged to three charges interchanges to {+, 0, −}. Two novelties appear. New features on nonlinear fields acting as own sources and on electric charge physics. Properties as conservation, conduction, transmission, interaction are extended to a systemic electromagnetism. A whole conservation law for electric charge emerges from three charges interwoven. Electric charge has a systemic behavior. Although there is no Coulomb law for zero electric charge, the Four Bosons Electromagnetism contains an EM energy which provides a neutral electromagnetism. Particles with zero charge {Aµ, Uµ} are carrying EM energy. Another consideration is on EM energy being transported by four nonlinear fields. A new physicality appears. The abelian nonlinearity generates fields charges. Fields are working as own sources through mass terms, trilinear and quadrilinear interactions, spin couplings. Consequently the photon is more than being a consequence from electric charge oscillations. It is able to generate its own charge. Introduce the meaning of photonics.Thus, electric charge is no more the isolate electromagnetic source. There are another conservation laws. Fields sources appear through corresponding equations of motion, Bianchi identities, energy-momentum, Noether laws and angular momentum conservation laws. They move EM to a fields charges dependence. Together with electric charge they carrythe electromagnetic flux. Supporting the Ahranov-Bohm experiment of potential fields as primitive entities.

Research on Landslide Warning Model Establishment and Disaster Space-Time Evolution Analysis

As important methods to avoid landslide disasters, velocity monitoring and early warning are significant research topics in slope engineering at the present stage. This paper combines the randomness of velocity data in evolution process of landslide disasters, using Markov chain theory with no aftereffect to describe the randomness process, and introduces it into landslide warning. The research collects velocity monitoring data before landslide occurrence and applies average standard deviation method which can reflect statistical characteristics of the classification data to carry out state division of the velocity data. Then, it proposes landslide warning criteria and establishes landslide warning model based on dynamic prediction of future velocity status by Markov chain theory. Meanwhile, it puts forward the evaluation standard of landslide warning model from the aspects of timeliness, anti-interference, and credibility. At the same time, it takes typical open-pit mine landslide disaster as the engineering background and gradually optimizes and evaluates the landslide warning model from the above three evaluation standards. The results show that the landslide warning model can realize the landslide early warning of multiple monitoring points; it has good effects in both time warning and regional warning. On the other hand, the landslide warning model has high accuracy in timeliness, anti-jamming, and credibility, and it can reveal space-time evolution law of landslide occurrence, so this research has important theoretical significance and engineering promotion value.

A Build Up of Seizure Prediction and Detection Software: A Review Article

Introduction: Neurological diseases are much often due to our stressed daily life, and epilepsy is considered as a second cause of hospitalization in neurological illness. It is about 30% of epileptic cases where medicine would not stop or control seizure; hence, a surgical intervention is required to delineate abnormal hyperexcitable cortical tissue. Defining these epileptogenic zones is a challenge that require physiological and anatomical acquisition. Discussion: Clinicians, researcher and engineer researcher are multiplying advanced techniques in order to exploit these acquisitions for a better diagnosis. Several software are used to enhance epilepsy diagnosis. Here we proposed a software that rely on space-time evolution of inter- ictal gamma oscillations. Conclusion: Our proposed software would predict a build up of seizure during monitoring of stereo-electroencephalographic SEEG recording. It allows also detection of seizure during analysis and diagnosis of SEEG. This software would assist neurologist in recognition of seizure and in defining epileptogenic zone EZ.

S-Asymptotically Periodic Solutions for Time-Space Fractional Evolution Equation

This paper discusses the abstract time-space fractional evolution equation with the Caputo derivative of order $$\alpha \in (0,1)$$ and fractional power operator $$-A^{\beta }$$ , $$\beta \in (0,1)$$ , where $$-A$$ generates a $$C_{0}$$ -semigroup on a Banach space. The compactness and exponential stability of the semigroup which is generated by fractional power operator $$-A^{\beta }$$ are investigated. With the aid of the properties of the semigroup, the existence and global asymptotic behavior of S-asymptotically periodic solutions are obtained by some fixed point theorems and related inequalities. An example to the time-space fractional diffusion equation with fractional Laplacian will be shown.

Research on the Failure and Fracture Evolution of Mylonite with a Prefabricated Circular Opening by Discrete Element Method

In this paper, the failure and fracture process of mylonite with a prefabricated circular opening under biaxial loading is studied by PFC2D code. Firstly, the hoop stress change law of opening wall in the process of loading is theoretically analyzed and three fracture patterns of rocks are proposed. Secondly, the biaxial loading tests of mylonite for numerical simulation are carried out, and the failure and fracture are analyzed from three aspects of space-time evolution of microcracks, energy conversion process, and final damage patterns. As the load progresses, the microcracks start to initiate at the side wall of the opening and the growth velocity of microcracks develops from the slow to fast and then slows down again. The final damage pattern of mylonite with a prefabricated circular opening belongs to shear fracture. The fracture zones start with the side wall spalling and then gradually extend to the border of the rock, which widen from the opening boundary to the border of the rock and slightly twist in the middle. The final fault zone width is about 6 times wider than the average size of simulation particles. Finally, based on the uniaxial compressive strength of mylonite in the laboratory, it is inferred that the fracture pattern of mylonite with a prefabricated circular opening by theoretical analysis is indeed shear failure, which is consistent with the result of numerical simulation.

Some optical soliton solutions of space-time conformable fractional Schrödinger-type models

In this article, we introduce a family of nonlinear (1+1) dimensions Schrödinger-type models with space-time fractional evolution in the sense of a conformable fractional derivative. We apply the modified Kudryashov method in context of fractional complex transformation and seek a variety of optical soliton solutions for these equations. The modified Kudryashov method is efficient and consistent for solving nonlinear space-time fractional differential equations.

γ -hadron spectra in p+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV

Under the assumption that a quark-gluon plasma droplet is produced and its evolution can be described by hydrodynamics in p + A collisions, $\gamma$-triggered hadron spectra are studied within a next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD parton model with the medium-modified parton fragmentation functions. The initial conditions and space-time evolution of the small QGP droplet are provided by the superSONIC hydrodynamic model simulations and parton energy loss in such a medium is described by the high-twist (HT) approach. The scaled jet transport coefficient $\hat{q}/T^3$ in this HT approach is extracted from single hadron suppression in central A + A collisions at the same colliding energy. Numerical results for this scenario show that $\gamma$-hadron spectra at $p_{\rm T}^\gamma=12-40$ GeV/$c$ are suppressed by 5\% $\sim$ 10\% in the most central 0 - 10\% p + Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV. The suppression becomes weaker at higher transverse momentum of the $\gamma$ trigger. As a comparison, $\gamma$-hadron suppression in Pb + Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ and 5.02 TeV is also predicted.

Monotone iterative technique for time-space fractional diffusion equations involving delay

This paper considers the initial boundary value problem for the time-space fractional delayed diffusion equation with fractional Laplacian. By using the semigroup theory of operators and the monotone iterative technique, the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for the abstract time-space evolution equation with delay under some quasimonotone conditions are obtained. Finally, the abstract results are applied to the time-space fractional delayed diffusion equation with fractional Laplacian operator, which improve and generalize the recent results of this issue.

Hunting for Gravitational Quantum Spikes

We present the result of our examination of quantum structures called quantum spikes. The classical spikes that are known in gravitational systems, occur in the evolution of the inhomogeneous spacetimes. A different kind of spikes, which we name strange spikes, can be seen in the dynamics of the homogeneous sector of the Belinski–Khalatnikov–Lifshitz scenario. They can be made visible if the so-called inhomogeneous initial data are used. The question to be explored is whether the strange spikes may survive quantization. The answer is in the affirmative. However, this is rather a subtle effect that needs further examination using sophisticated analytical and numerical tools. The spikes seem to be of fundamental importance, both at classical and quantum levels, as they may serve as seeds of real structures in the universe.

Structurally controlled development of a sulfuric hypogene karst system in a fold-and-thrust belt (Majella Massif, Italy)

We documented the deformation in the southeastern domain of the Majella anticline (Central Apennines, Italy) to highlight timing and structural characteristics of different fracture sets affecting the outcropping Cretaceous-Miocene ramp carbonates. An isolated and inactive hypogene karst system produced by sulfuric acid (Cavallone-Bove cave system) was studied following a multidisciplinary approach. Our findings suggest that deep-rooted, sub-vertical strike-slip fault zones reaching the H2S source rocks were the main vehicle for ascending acidic fluid flow. Linkage and intersection of these faults by splays in extensional stepovers and pre-orogenic normal faults permitted ascending fluids to reach multiple recharge points (feeders) near the paleo water-table. In proximity to the oxygenated groundwater, where H2SO4 was produced, lateral dissolution focused along bedding planes and zones of localized deformation (fracture clusters) characterizing the hinge of the anticline. We conclude that structural position in the anticline and large-offset, vertically extended strike-slip fault zones control the localization of efficient permeability pathways and represent first order controlling features for fluid flow in the fold-and-thrust belt. This study provides insights into the understanding of time-space evolution, geometry, and pattern of sulfuric hypogene karst systems in folded carbonates, whose prediction is critical for fractured and karstified reservoirs.

Two-phase SPH numerical study of pore-water pressure effect on debris flows mobility: Yu Tung debris flow

A debris flow is one of the most dangerous types of geophysical mass flows moving downward mountain slopes and consist of a mixture of soil and rocks with a significant quantity of interstitial fluid. They can travel at extremely rapid velocities affecting long distances due to the significant influence of pore-water pressures on the propagation stage. In this paper, a novel two-phase depth-integrated SPH numerical model is applied to simulate a debris flow in which the effects of bed entrainment and pore-water pressure evolution, essential components to performed debris flows risk assessment, are included. The model was applied to simulate the dynamics of Yu Tung debris flow which is an appropriate benchmark case to examine the applicability of the developed model, as bed entrainment and pore-water pressure evolution were key aspects that affected the moving mass dynamics. The developed two-phase depth-integrated SPH-FD model is applied to assess the structural countermeasure of the bottom drainage screen, used to reduce the impact of debris flows. The reasonable results obtained from the analysis indicate that the model is capable to properly reproduce the propagation of the debris flow and more importantly to correctly perform the time-space evolution of pore water pressures during the whole deformation process from initiation through propagation, over an impermeable and permeable bottom boundary, up to deposition.

Simulation of heavy-ion slowing-down tracks with the SCENA code

In the frame of dependable neutron flux instrumentation development for Generation IV reactors, the French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA) investigates an innovative technology based on optical signal produced within a fission chamber. In such gaseous detectors, neutrons interact with fissile material, releasing heavy ions in the MeV range, eventually leading to spontaneous photons emission in the ultraviolet to infrared range. We hereby present the space–time evolution of heavy-ion slowing-down tracks parameters in noble gases, as computed with the SCENA radiation-induced cold-plasma simulation tool. Preliminary results on excited-states noble-gas population dynamic are reported. Population of upper-lying gas levels is completed within picoseconds, only micrometres behind the projectile ionization trail.

A Markovian random walk model of epidemic spreading.

We analyze the dynamics of a population of independent random walkers on a graph and develop a simple model of epidemic spreading. We assume that each walker visits independently the nodes of a finite ergodic graph in a discrete-time Markovian walk governed by his specific transition matrix. With this assumption, we first derive an upper bound for the reproduction numbers. Then, we assume that a walker is in one of the states: susceptible, infectious, or recovered. An infectious walker remains infectious during a certain characteristic time. If an infectious walker meets a susceptible one on the same node, there is a certain probability for the susceptible walker to get infected. By implementing this hypothesis in computer simulations, we study the space-time evolution of the emerging infection patterns. Generally, random walk approaches seem to have a large potential to study epidemic spreading and to identify the pertinent parameters in epidemic dynamics.

Chiral phase transition in an expanding quark system

We investigate the influence of chiral symmetry which varies along the space-time evolution of a system, by considering the chiral phase transition in a nonequilibrium expanding quark-antiquark system. The chiral symmetry is described by the mean field order parameter, whose value is the solution of a self-consistent equation, and affects the space-time evolution of the system through the force term in the Vlasov equation. The Vlasov equation and the gap equation are solved concurrently and continuously for a longitudinal boost-invariant and transversely rotation-invariant system. This numerical framework enables us to carefully investigate how the phase transition and collision affect the evolution of the system. It is observed that the chiral phase transition gives rise to a kink in the flow velocity, which is caused by the force term in the Vlasov equation. The kink is enhanced by larger susceptibility and tends to be smoothed out by nonequilibrium effects. The spatial phase boundary appears as a ``wall'' for the quarks, as the quarks with low momentum are bounced back, while those with high momentum go through the wall but are slowed down.

On Thunderstorm Microphysics under Urban Heat Island, Sea Breeze, and Cold Front Effects in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, Brazil

This work discusses issues related to the impact of urbanization on the microphysical processes of precipitating systems associated with synoptic, mesoscale, and local scale systems. Among the issues addressed is the impact of urban heat island (UHI) in São Paulo city center and urban densification (UD) in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) on the microphysical, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties and distribution of precipitation and heavier rainfall from sea-breeze (SB) e cold-front (CF) combined during their space-time evolutions. For this purpose, it used four components: classification of hydrometeors with fuzzy logic, calculation of the raindrop diameters, an estimate of liquid water mass and ice mass from polarimetric-variables measured with dual-pola- rization X-band meteorological radar. The results indicated that urban densification (UD) and heat island (UHI) of the São Paulo city center impact the formation of precipitation, liquid water mass, and ice mass, depth, and duration of a thunderstorm. It was also observed the asymmetric configuration of the thunderstorm is induced by the strong convergence in the São Paulo city center, and this strong convergence is induced by the intense heat island (UHI) in the São Paulo city center. Was also observed that this event that is formed in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) depends on microphysical processes of mixed-phase of the cloud (water and ice) above the 0°C isotherm for the production of intense rain and cold pool at the surface. These important microphysical processes within long-lasting secondary convective cells over the São Paulo city center should be taken into account on convective parameterization schemes as well as the associated cold pool dynamics.

Wavebreaking amplitudes in warm, inhomogeneous plasmas revisited

The effect of electron temperature on the space–time evolution of nonlinear plasma oscillations in an inhomogeneous plasma is studied using a one-dimensional particle-in-cell code. It is observed that, for an inhomogeneous plasma, there exists a critical value of electron temperature beyond which the wave does not break. These simulation results, which are in conformity with the purely theoretical arguments presented by Trines [Phys. Rev. E 79, 056406 (2009)], represent the first numerical elucidation of the effect of plasma pressure on wave breaking amplitude. The results presented are of relevance to experiments where moderate to large amplitude plasma waves are excited, e.g., laser–plasma interaction experiments.

Measurement of spatial agglomeration level and the characteristics of space–time evolution of China’s construction industry

Industrial agglomeration is the most prominent performance in current economic activities. In this study, the output value of construction engineering is taken as the core index. The relevant data of 31 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2019 are selected. The spatial agglomeration level and spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of Chinese construction industry in 10 years are studied using the Gini coefficient and the strongest gravity model. Results show that the spatial agglomeration level of China’s construction industry has been increasing annually, and the industry has experienced the development process of “disequilibrium to gradual equilibrium.” (1) The distribution of construction industry in 31 provinces and cities of China is characterized by spatial imbalance. (2) The agglomeration areas of high–high construction industrial elements are mainly concentrated in Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. Low–low industrial element agglomeration areas are concentrated in the urban agglomeration of southwest China. (3) The center of gravity of the spatial agglomeration of the elements of China’s construction industry is moving from the east to the central and western regions and gradually tends to be balanced.

Time-space evolution of the goods export network of the Belt and Road countries: The view of weighted complex network

The weighted complex network is utilized to analyze the evolution of the overall structural features of the goods export network and the role transitions of each country in the network. The research suggests: 1. The network of exports of the Belt and Road countries has transformed from multi-core pattern into one extreme along with multi-core pattern; 2. China, South Korea, Russia, Singapore and Italy are the highest-ranking countries in the network. Among these countries, the influence of China is on the rise, South Korea South Korea’s influence remains basically unchanged., however, Russia, Singapore and Italy are on the decline; 3. The leading edge of Asia-Pacific block in the network has been enhanced year by year. Not only has the trade volume within the block increased to 50% of the whole network, but the trade export to other three blocks has significant increasement. The total volume of trade in European block increased greatly and its block mode has transformed from external to universal. The trade volume of the former Soviet Union block along with the West Asia-Africa block increased significantly as well, but there is still a large gap compared with the European block and Asia-Pacific block.
