    Description: Direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) between two air masses with a temperature difference of 70 K is presented using compressible Navier-Stokes formulation in a non-equilibrium thermodynamic framework. The two-dimensional flow is studied in an isolated box with non-periodic walls in both vertical and horizontal directions. The non-conducting interface separating the two air masses is impulsively removed at t = 0 (depicting a heaviside function). No external perturbation has been used at the interface to instigate the instability at the onset. Computations have been carried out for rectangular and square cross sections. The formulation is free of Boussinesq approximation commonly used in many Navier-Stokes formulations for RTI. Effect of Stokes’ hypothesis is quantified, by using models from acoustic attenuation measurement for the second coefficient of viscosity from two experiments. Effects of Stokes’ hypothesis on growth of mixing layer and evolution of total entropy for the Rayleigh-Taylor system are reported. The initial rate of growth is observed to be independent of Stokes’ hypothesis and the geometry of the box. Following this stage, growth rate is dependent on the geometry of the box and is sensitive to the model used. As a consequence of compressible formulation, we capture pressure wave-packets with associated reflection and rarefaction from the non-periodic walls. The pattern and frequency of reflections of pressure waves noted specifically at the initial stages are reflected in entropy variation of the system.

    Description: Colloidal particles were exposed to a random potential energy landscape that has been created optically via a speckle pattern. The mean particle density as well as the potential roughness, i.e., the disorder strength, were varied. The local probability density of the particles as well as its main characteristics were determined. For the first time, the disorder-averaged pair density correlation function g (1) ( r ) and an analogue of the Edwards-Anderson order parameter g (2) ( r ), which quantifies the correlation of the mean local density among disorder realisations, were measured experimentally and shown to be consistent with replica liquid state theory results.

    Description: Background: Enterococcus is an important cause of infection in the hospital as well as in the community. Methods: A prospective study was done in Medical College, Kolkata for a period of 2 years (from January 2018 to December 2019). After obtaining clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee, Enterococcus isolates from cases of vaginitis were included in the study. Identification of Enterococcus species was done by Gram stain and conventional biochemical tests along with automated identification by VITEK 2 Compact. These isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility to different antibiotics by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by VITEK 2 Compact. Interpretation of susceptibility was done according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2017 guidelines. Biofilm detection for Enterococcus species was done. Results: During the period of 2 years, 39 isolates of Enterococcus spp. were obtained from vaginitis cases. Among these, 27 were Enterococcus faecalis and 12 Enterococcus faecium. All isolates were highly susceptible to vancomycin, teicoplanin, and linezolid. Biofilm was detected in eight isolates of which five were strong biofilm producer and three moderate biofilm producers. Conclusion: Biofilm production is an important virulence factor in Enterococcus isolates from vaginitis.

    Description: Solar energy is going to be a major component of global energy generation. Loss due to dust deposition has raised a great concern to the investors in this field. Pre-estimation of this reduced generation and hence the economic loss will help the operators’ readiness for efficient and enhanced economic energy management of the system. In an earlier article, a physics–based model is proposed for assessment of dust accumulation under various climatic conditions which is validated by data of a single location. In this paper, the universality of this model is established and is used to demonstrate the effect of generation loss due to dust deposition and of cleaning. Variation in the soiling pattern due to climatic covariates has also been studied. Generation loss is calculated for Solar Photovoltaic power plants of different capacities at various locations in India. Finally this model has also been extended to predict the generation accounting for the soiling loss in Photovoltaic system. All the calculated and predicted results are validated with the measured values of the above plants.

    Notes: The dielectric function ε=ε1−iε2 of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ high-Tc superconducting films grown on (100) SrTiO3 (c-axis oriented) and (110) SrTiO3 (ab-oriented) substrate was measured by spectroscopic polarization modulation ellipsometry (SPME) and changes in film orientation were studied by comparing films of various thicknesses. The films deposited on SrTiO3 (100) substrates demonstrated an isotropic ε1 that changed with film thickness. It is observed that the decrease in the metallic dielectric behavior associated with the increase in the thickness of the films grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrates is mainly due to a change in the orientation of the films. The films deposited on SrTiO3 (110) showed anisotropic dielectric behavior when the plane of polarization is parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis of the film. These studies show that for this high-temperature superconductor with anisotropic dielectric behavior, SPME is a highly sensitive technique capable of measuring small changes in the film orientation.

    Notes: Schottky barrier diodes have been fabricated using poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) as the semiconductor and indium as the metal. P3HT was doped with FeCl3 at room temperature to form a p-type semiconductor. The Schottky junctions of In on FeCl3-doped P3HT using pressure contact exhibit rectification ratios ranging from 104:1 to 106:1 at a bias of ±1 V.

    Notes: We have conducted magnetic relaxation experiments to calculate the effective activation energy, U, as a function of critical current density. We have shown that, from the nonlinearity of U, one can explain the nonlogarithmic decay of magnetization in type II superconductors. The nonlinearity of U was considered by expanding U about a current density, J0. The coefficients of expansion were determined experimentally and were used to develop the relationship between U and J for both conventional type II superconductors (Nb3Sn filamentary) and high-Tc superconductors (YBa2Cu3O7−δ and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals). Both types of superconductor were observed to behave in similar fashion. We have also calculated U0 using the standard formulas and the intercepts of the tangent of the U vs M curve and have found the results to be comparable.

    Notes: The rotational motion of homonuclear diatomic molecules confined to two dimensions at finite temperatures is discussed within the framework of path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) techniques. For single rotators the symmetry restriction on the total wave function coupling nuclear spin and rotations of these diatomic molecules is carried over to PIMC for fermionic and bosonic diatomic molecules. Three experimentally relevant quantum statistical averages are formulated, and quantum effects due to discrete level spacing and exchange are separated with the help of these averages. The method is applied to single N2 and H2 rotators adsorbed on graphite in the frozen-in crystal field which is due to the commensurate ((square root of)3×(square root of)3)R30° "2-in'' herringbone phase. Contrary to H2, exchange effects are negligible for N2 in the relevant temperature range. The resulting sign problem for certain combinations of molecule and averaging procedure is discussed. PIMC simulations of the phase transition from the translationally (square root of)3-ordered and orientationally disordered phase to the herringbone phase were carried out for complete N2 monolayers without a symmetry restriction on the wave function. Due to dispersive quantum fluctuations, transition temperature and ground-state order parameter are depressed by roughly 10% as compared to classical MC simulations of the same realistic model. In addition, the PIMC results are compared to quasiharmonic and quasiclassical approximations. The quasiharmonic treatment yields the correct order parameter suppression, the quasiclassical simulation the lowering of the transition temperature, but only the full quantum PIMC simulations describe the entire temperature range of interest correctly.

    Notes: The semiclassical limit of the quantum Yang–Mills partition function on a compact oriented surface is related to the symplectic volume of the moduli space of flat connections, by using an explicit expression for the symplectic form. This gives an independent proof of some recent results of Witten and Forman.

    Notes: The moduli space of flat connections on a principal G-bundle over a compact oriented surface of genus g≥1 is considered herein. Using the holonomies around noncontractible loops, the moduli space is described as a quotient of a submanifold of G2g. An explicit expression is obtained for the symplectic form on the smooth part of moduli space, and several properties of this form are established.
