Evidence for xi- and t-dependent damping of the Pomeron Flux in the proton
We show that a triple-Regge parametrization of inclusive single diffraction agrees with the data in the following two domains: (a) xi > 0.03 at all t, (b) |t| > 1 GeV^2 at all xi. Since the triple-Regge parametrization fails when applied to the full xi-t range of the total single-diffractive cross section, we conclude that damping occurs only at low-xi and low-|t|. We give a (``toy'') parametrization of the damping factor, D(xi), valid at low-|t|, which describes the diffractive differential cross-section (dsig/dt) data at the ISR and roughly accounts for the observed s-dependence of diffractive total cross-section up to Tevatron energies. However, an effective damping factor calculated for the CDF fitted function for dsig/dxidt at sqrt(s} = 1800 GeV and |t| = 0.05 GeV^2, suggests that, at fixed-xi, damping increases as s increases. We conjecture that, in the regions where the triple-Regge formalism describes the data and there is no evidence of damping, factorization is valid and the Pomeron-flux-factor may be universal. With the assumption that the observed damping is due to multi-Pomeron exchange, our results imply that the recent UA8 demonstration that the effective Pomeron trajectory flattens for |t| > 1 GeV$^2 is evidence for the onset of the perturbative 2-gluon pomeron. Our damping results may also shed some light on the self-consistency of recent measurements of hard-diffractive jet production cross sections in the UA8, CDF and ZEUS experiments.

The resonant damping of fast magnetohydrodynamic oscillations in a system of two coronal slabs
Observations of transversal coronal loop oscillations very often show the excitation and damping of oscillations in groups of coronal loops rather than in individual and isolated structures. We present results on the oscillatory properties (periods, damping rates, and spatial distribution of perturbations) for resonantly damped oscillations in a system of two inhomogeneous coronal slabs and compare them to the properties found in single slab loop models. A system of two identical coronal loops is modeled, in Cartesian geometry, as being composed by two density enhancements. The linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave equations for oblique propagation of waves are solved and the damping of the different solutions, due to the transversal inhomogeneity of the density profile, is computed. The physics of the obtained results is analyzed by an examination of the perturbed physical variables. We find that, due to the interaction between the loops, the normal modes of oscillation present in a single slab split into symmetric and antisymmetric oscillations when a system of two identical slabs is considered. The frequencies of these solutions may differ from the single slab results when the distance between the loops is of the order of a few slab widths. Oblique propagation of waves weakens this interaction, since solutions become more confined to the edges of the slabs. The damping is strong for surface-like oscillations, while sausage body-like solutions are unaffected. For some solutions, and small slab separations, the damping in a system of two loops differs substantially from the damping of a single loop.

Damping of Alfven waves in solar partially ionized plasmas: effect of neutral helium in multi-fluid approach
Chromospheric and prominence plasmas contain neutral atoms, which may change the plasma dynamics through collision with ions. Most of the atoms are neutral hydrogen, but a significant amount of neutral helium may also be present in the plasma with a particular temperature. Damping of MHD waves due to ion collision with neutral hydrogen is well studied, but the effects of neutral helium are largely unknown. We aim to study the effect of neutral helium in the damping of Alfven waves in solar partially ionized plasmas. We consider three-fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approximation, where one component is electron-proton-singly ionized helium and other two components are the neutral hydrogen and neutral helium atoms. We derive the dispersion relation of linear Alfven waves in isothermal and homogeneous plasma. Then we solve the dispersion relation and derive the damping rates of Alfven waves for different plasma parameters. The presence of neutral helium significantly enhances the damping of Alfven waves compared to the damping due to neutral hydrogen at certain values of plasma temperature (10000-40000 K) and ionization. Damping rates have a peak near the ion-neutral collision frequency, but decrease for the higher part of wave spectrum. Collision of ions with neutral helium atoms can be of importance for the damping of Alfven waves in chromospheric spicules and in prominence-corona transition regions.

Damping rates of solar-like oscillations across the HR diagram. Theoretical calculations confronted to CoRoT and Kepler observations
Space-borne missions CoRoT and {\it Kepler} are providing a rich harvest of high-quality constraints on solar-like pulsators. Among the seismic parameters, mode damping rates remains poorly understood and thus barely used to infer physical properties of stars. Nevertheless, thanks to CoRoT and {\it Kepler} space-crafts it is now possible to measure damping rates for hundreds of main-sequence and thousands of red-giant stars with an unprecedented precision. By using a non-adiabatic pulsation code including a time-dependent convection treatment, we compute damping rates for stellar models representative for solar-like pulsators from the main-sequence to the red-giant phase. This allows us to reproduce the observations of both CoRoT and {\it Kepler}, which validates our modeling of mode damping rates and thus the underlying physical mechanisms included in the modeling. Actually, by considering the perturbations of turbulent pressure and entropy (including perturbation of the dissipation rate of turbulent energy into heat) by the oscillation in our computation, we succeed in reproducing the observed relation between damping rates and effective temperature. Moreover, we discuss the physical reasons for mode damping rates to scale with effective temperature, as observationally exhibited. Finally, this opens the way for the use of mode damping rates to probe turbulent convection in solar-like stars.

Decay rates for the damped wave equation on the torus
We address the decay rates of the energy for the damped wave equation when the damping coefficient $b$ does not satisfy the Geometric Control Condition (GCC). First, we give a link with the controllability of the associated Schr\"odinger equation. We prove in an abstract setting that the observability of the Schr\"odinger group implies that the semigroup associated to the damped wave equation decays at rate $1/\sqrt{t}$ (which is a stronger rate than the general logarithmic one predicted by the Lebeau Theorem). Second, we focus on the 2-dimensional torus. We prove that the best decay one can expect is $1/t$, as soon as the damping region does not satisfy GCC. Conversely, for smooth damping coefficients $b$, we show that the semigroup decays at rate $1/t^{1-\eps}$, for all $\eps >0$. The proof relies on a second microlocalization around trapped directions, and resolvent estimates. In the case where the damping coefficient is a characteristic function of a strip (hence discontinuous), St\'{e}phane Nonnenmacher computes in an appendix part of the spectrum of the associated damped wave operator, proving that the semigroup cannot decay faster than $1/t^{2/3}$. In particular, our study shows that the decay rate highly depends on the way $b$ vanishes.

Calculation of continuum damping of Alfvén eigenmodes in 2D and 3D cases
In ideal MHD, shear Alfv\'{e}n eigenmodes may experience dissipationless damping due to resonant interaction with the shear Alfv\'{e}n continuum. This continuum damping can make a significant contribution to the overall growth/decay rate of shear Alfv\'{e}n eigenmodes, with consequent implications for fast ion transport. One method for calculating continuum damping is to solve the MHD eigenvalue problem over a suitable contour in the complex plane, thereby satisfying the causality condition. Such an approach can be implemented in three-dimensional ideal MHD codes which use the Galerkin method. Analytic functions can be fitted to numerical data for equilibrium quantities in order to determine the value of these quantities along the complex contour. This approach requires less resolution than the established technique of calculating damping as resistivity vanishes and is thus more computationally efficient. The complex contour method has been applied to the three-dimensional finite element ideal MHD code CKA . In this paper we discuss the application of the complex contour technique to calculate the continuum damping of global modes in tokamak as well as torsatron, W7X and H1-NF stellarator cases. To the authors' knowledge these stellarator calculations represent the first calculation of continuum damping for eigenmodes in fully three-dimensional equilibria. The continuum damping of global modes in W7X and H1-NF stellarator configurations investigated is found to depend sensitively on coupling to numerous poloidal and toroidal harmonics.

Damped and zero-damped quasinormal modes of charged, nearly extremal black holes
Despite recent progress, the complete understanding of the perturbations of charged, rotating black holes as described by the Kerr-Newman metric remains an open and fundamental problem in relativity. In this study, we explore the existence of families of quasinormal modes of Kerr-Newman black holes whose decay rates limit to zero at extremality, called zero-damped modes in past studies. We review the nearly extremal and WKB approximation methods for spin-weighted scalar fields (governed by the Dudley-Finley equation) and give an accounting of the regimes where scalar zero-damped and damped modes exist. Using Leaver's continued fraction method, we verify that these approximations give accurate predictions for the frequencies in their regimes of validity. In the nonrotating limit, we argue that gravito-electromagnetic perturbations of nearly extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes have zero-damped modes in addition to the well-known spectrum of damped modes. We provide an analytic formula for the frequencies of these modes, verify their existence using a numerical search, and demonstrate the accuracy of our formula. These results, along with recent numerical studies, point to the existence of a simple universal equation for the frequencies of zero-damped gravito-electromagnetic modes of Kerr-Newman black holes, whose precise form remains an open question.

Recovering the damping rates of cyclotron damped plasma waves from simulation data
Plasma waves with frequencies close to the particular gyrofrequencies of the charged particles in the plasma lose energy due to cyclotron damping. We briefly discuss the gyro-resonance of low frequency plasma waves and ions particularly with regard to particle-in-cell (PiC) simulations. A setup is outlined which uses artificially excited waves in the damped regime of the wave mode's dispersion relation to track the damping of the wave's electromagnetic fields. Extracting the damping rate directly from the field data in real or Fourier space is an intricate and non-trivial task. We therefore present a simple method of obtaining the damping rate {\Gamma} from the simulation data. This method is described in detail, focusing on a step-by-step explanation of the course of actions. In a first application to a test simulation we find that the damping rates obtained from this simulation generally are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. We then compare the results of one-, two- and three-dimensional simulation setups and simulations with different physical parameter sets.

Demonstration of a switchable damping system to allow low-noise operation of high-Q low-mass suspension systems
Low mass suspension systems with high-Q pendulum stages are used to enable quantum radiation pressure noise limited experiments. Utilising multiple pendulum stages with vertical blade springs and materials with high quality factors provides attenuation of seismic and thermal noise, however damping of these high-Q pendulum systems in multiple degrees of freedom is essential for practical implementation. Viscous damping such as eddy-current damping can be employed but introduces displacement noise from force noise due to thermal fluctuations in the damping system. In this paper we demonstrate a passive damping system with adjustable damping strength as a solution for this problem that can be used for low mass suspension systems without adding additional displacement noise in science mode. We show a reduction of the damping factor by a factor of 8 on a test suspension and provide a general optimisation for this system.

Damping of slow surface sausage modes in photospheric waveguides
There has been considerable interest in sausage modes in photospheric waveguides like pores and sunspots, and slow surface sausage modes (SSSMs) have been suggested to damp ufficiently rapidly to account for chromospheric heating. Working in the framework of linear resistive magnetohydrodynamics, we examine how efficient electric resistivity and resonant absorption in the cusp continuum can be for damping SSSMs in a photospheric waveguide with equilibrium parameters compatible with recent measurements of a photospheric pore. For SSSMs with the measured wavelength, we find that the damping rate due to the cusp resonance is substantially less strong than theoretically expected with the thin-boundary approximation. The damping-time-to-period ratio ($\tau/P$) we derive for standing modes, equivalent to the damping-length-to-wavelength ratio for propagating modes given the extremely weak dispersion, can reach only $\sim 180$. However, the accepted values for electric resistivity ($\eta$) correspond to a regime where both the cusp resonance and resistivity play a role. The values for $\tau/P$ attained at the largest allowed $\eta$ may reach $\sim 30$. We conclude that electric resistivity can be considerably more efficient than the cusp resonance for damping SSSMs in the pore in question, and it needs to be incorporated into future studies on the damping of SSSMs in photospheric waveguides in general.

Energy regenerative damping in variable impedance actuators for long-term robotic deployment
Energy efficiency is a crucial issue towards longterm deployment of compliant robots in the real world. In the context of variable impedance actuators (VIAs), one of the main focuses has been on improving energy efficiency through reduction of energy consumption. However, the harvesting of dissipated energy in such systems remains under-explored. This study proposes a novel variable damping module design enabling energy regeneration in VIAs by exploiting the regenerative braking effect of DC motors. The proposed damping module uses four switches to combine regenerative and dynamic braking, in a hybrid approach that enables energy regeneration without a reduction in the range of damping achievable. A physical implementation on a simple VIA mechanism is presented in which the regenerative properties of the proposed module are characterised and compared against theoretical predictions. To investigate the role of variable regenerative damping in terms of energy efficiency of longterm operation, experiments are reported in which the VIA equipped with the proposed damping module performs sequential reaching to a series of stochastic targets. The results indicate that the combination of variable stiffness and variable regenerative damping is preferable to achieve the optimal trade-off between task performance and energy efficiency. Use of the latter results in a 25% performance improvement on overall performance metrics (incorporating reaching accuracy, settling time, energy consumption and regeneration), over comparable schemes where either stiffness or damping are fixed.

Generalization of Stokes-Einstein relation to coordinate dependent damping and diffusivity: An apparent conflict
Brownian motion with coordinate dependent damping and diffusivity is ubiquitous. Understanding equilibrium of a Brownian particle with coordinate dependent diffusion and damping is a contentious area. In this paper, we present an alternative approach based on already established methods to this problem. We solve for the equilibrium distribution of the over-damped dynamics using Kramers-Moyal expansion. We compare this with the over-damped limit of the generalized Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. We show that the equipartition of energy helps recover the Stokes-Einstein relation at constant diffusivity and damping of the homogeneous space. However, we also show that, there exists no homogeneous limit of coordinate dependent diffusivity and damping with respect to the applicability of Stokes-Einstein relation when it does not hold locally. In the other scenario where the Stokes-Einstein relation holds locally, one needs to impose a restriction on the local maximum velocity of the Brownian particle to make the modified Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution coincide with the modified Boltzmann distribution in the over-damped limit.

Damping of Propagating Kink Waves in the Solar Corona
Alfv\'enic waves have gained renewed interest since the existence of ubiquitous propagating kink waves were discovered in the corona. {It has long been suggested that Alfv\'enic} waves play an important role in coronal heating and the acceleration of the solar wind. To this effect, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms that enable their energy to be transferred to the plasma. Mode conversion via resonant absorption is believed to be one of the main mechanisms for kink wave damping, and is considered to play a key role in the process of energy transfer. This study examines the damping of propagating kink waves in quiescent coronal loops using the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP). A coherence-based method is used to track the Doppler velocity signal of the waves, enabling us to investigate the spatial evolution of velocity perturbations. The power ratio of outward to inward propagating waves is used to estimate the associated damping lengths and quality factors. To enable accurate estimates of these quantities, {we provide the first derivation of a likelihood function suitable for fitting models to the ratio of two power spectra obtained from discrete Fourier transforms. Maximum likelihood estimation is used to fit an exponential damping model to the observed variation in power ratio as a function of frequency.} We confirm earlier indications that propagating kink waves are undergoing frequency dependent damping. Additionally, we find that the rate of damping decreases, or equivalently the damping length increases, for longer coronal loops that reach higher in the corona.

The Impact of Damping in Second-Order Dynamical Systems with Applications to Power Grid Stability
We consider a broad class of second-order dynamical systems and study the impact of damping as a system parameter on the stability, hyperbolicity, and bifurcation in such systems. We prove a monotonic effect of damping on the hyperbolicity of the equilibrium points of the corresponding first-order system. This provides a rigorous formulation and theoretical justification for the intuitive notion that damping increases stability. To establish this result, we prove a matrix perturbation result for complex symmetric matrices with positive semidefinite perturbations to their imaginary parts, which may be of independent interest. Furthermore, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the breakdown of hyperbolicity of the first-order system under damping variations in terms of observability of a pair of matrices relating damping, inertia, and Jacobian matrices, and propose sufficient conditions for Hopf bifurcation resulting from such hyperbolicity breakdown. The developed theory has significant applications in the stability of electric power systems, which are one of the most complex and important engineering systems. In particular, we characterize the impact of damping on the hyperbolicity of the swing equation model which is the fundamental dynamical model of power systems, and demonstrate Hopf bifurcations resulting from damping variations.

Linear Predictive Coding for Acute Stress Prediction from Computer Mouse Movements
Prior work demonstrated the potential of using the Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) filter to approximate muscle stiffness and damping from computer mouse movements to predict acute stress levels of users. Theoretically, muscle stiffness and damping in the arm can be estimated using a mass-spring-damper (MSD) biomechanical model. However, the damping frequency (i.e., stiffness) and damping ratio values derived using LPC were not yet compared with those from a theoretical MSD model. This work demonstrates that the damping frequency and damping ratio from LPC are significantly correlated with those from an MSD model, thus confirming the validity of using LPC to infer muscle stiffness and damping. We also compare the stress level binary classification performance using the values from LPC and MSD with each other and with neural network-based baselines. We found comparable performance across all conditions demonstrating LPC and MSD model-based stress prediction efficacy, especially for longer mouse trajectories. Clinical relevance: This work demonstrates the validity of the LPC filter to approximate muscle stiffness and damping and predict acute stress from computer mouse movements.

Damping transition in an open generalized Aubry-André-Harper model
We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order, which is dominated by the Lindblad master equation. In the absence of the aperiodic order, the Liouvillian superoperator exhibits the non-Hermitian skin effect, which leads to unidirectional damping dynamics, dubbed as "chiral damping". Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive: The long-time damping of such open systems is algebraic under periodic boundary conditions but exponential under open boundary conditions. We reveal the phase transition with the inclusion of the hopping amplitude modulation. By using the spectral topology and a finite-size scaling analysis in the commensurate case, we show there exists a phase transition of the skin effect with non-Bloch anti-parity-time symmetry breaking. For the incommensurate case, we find richer phases with the coexistence of the non-Hermitian skin effect and the Anderson localization, which are separated by a generalized mobility edge. We reveal the transition of the damping dynamics as a consequence of the phase transition. Furthermore, we propose a possible scheme with ultracold atoms in a dissipative momentum lattice to realize and detect the damping dynamics.

Nonlinear Damping and Field-aligned Flows of Propagating Shear Alfvén Waves with Braginskii Viscosity
Braginskii MHD provides a more accurate description of many plasma environments than classical MHD since it actively treats the stress tensor using a closure derived from physical principles. Stress tensor effects nonetheless remain relatively unexplored for solar MHD phenomena, especially in nonlinear regimes. This paper analytically examines nonlinear damping and longitudinal flows of propagating shear Alfv\'en waves. Most previous studies of MHD waves in Braginskii MHD considered the strict linear limit of vanishing wave perturbations. We show that those former linear results only apply to Alfv\'en wave amplitudes in the corona that are so small as to be of little interest, typically a wave energy less than $10^{-11}$ times the energy of the background magnetic field. For observed wave amplitudes, the Braginskii viscous dissipation of coronal Alfv\'en waves is nonlinear and a factor around $10^9$ stronger than predicted by the linear theory. Furthermore, the dominant damping occurs through the parallel viscosity coefficient $\eta_0$, rather than the perpendicular viscosity coefficient $\eta_2$ in the linearized solution. This paper develops the nonlinear theory, showing that the wave energy density decays with an envelope $(1+z/L_d)^{-1}$. The damping length $L_d$ exhibits an optimal damping solution, beyond which greater viscosity leads to lower dissipation as the viscous forces self-organise the longitudinal flow to suppress damping. Although the nonlinear damping greatly exceeds the linear damping, it remains negligible for many coronal applications.

As renewable generation becomes more prevalent, traditional power systems dominated by synchronous generators are transitioning to systems dominated by converter-interfaced generation. These devices, with their weaker damping capabilities and lower inertia, compromise the system's ability to withstand disturbances, pose a threat to system stability, and lead to oscillations and poor frequency response performance. While some new converter-interfaced generations are capable of providing superior damping and fast frequency control, there is a lack of effective measures to incentivize manufacturers to adopt them. To address this gap, this paper defines the joint oscillation damping and inertia provision services at the system level, seeking to encourage converter-interfaced generation to provide enhanced damping and fast frequency response capabilities. Our approach is anchored in a novel convex parametric formulation that combines oscillation mode and frequency stability constraints. These constraints ensure a sufficient damping ratio for all oscillation modes and maintain transient frequency trajectories within acceptable limits. They are designed to integrate smoothly into various operational and planning optimization frameworks. Using this formulation, we introduce a joint service for oscillation damping and inertia provision based on a cost-minimization problem. This facilitates the optimal allocation of damping and virtual inertia to converters, achieving both small-signal stability and frequency stability. Furthermore, we investigate the economic effects of introducing this service into a new ancillary service market, assessing its impact on system operations and cost-efficiency. Numerical tests highlight the service's efficacy in ensuring both small-signal stability and frequency stability, and offer insights into potential economic benefits.

Damping Separation of Finite Open Systems in Gravity-Related Experiments in the Free Molecular Flow Regime
The residual gas damping of the test mass (TM) in the free molecular flow regime is studied in the finite open systems for high-precision gravity-related experiments. Through strict derivation, we separate the damping coefficients for two finite open systems, i.e., the bi-plate system and the sensor core system, into base damping and diffusion damping. This elucidates the relationship between the free damping in the infinite gas volume and the proximity damping in the constrained volume, unifies them into one microscopic picture, and allows us to point out three pathways of energy dissipation in the bi-plate gap. We also provide the conditions that need to be met to achieve this separation. In applications, for space gravitational wave detection, our results for the residual gas damping coefficient for the 4TM torsion balance experiment is the closest one to the experimental and simulation data compared to previous models. For the LISA mission, our estimation for residual gas acceleration noise at the sensitive axis is consistent with the simulation result, within about $5\%$ difference. In addition, in the test of the gravitational inverse-square law, our results suggest that the constraint on the distance between TM and the conducting membrane can be reduced by about $28\%$.

The Velocity-Space Signature of Transit-Time Damping
Transit-time damping (TTD) is a process in which the magnetic mirror force -- induced by the parallel gradient of magnetic field strength -- interacts with resonant plasma particles, leading to the collisionless damping of electromagnetic waves and the resulting energization of those particles through the perpendicular component of the electric field, $E_\perp$. In this study, we utilize the recently developed field-particle correlation technique to analyze gyrokinetic simulation data. This method enables the identification of the velocity-space structure of the TTD energy transfer rate between waves and particles during the damping of plasma turbulence. Our analysis reveals a unique bipolar pattern of energy transfer in velocity space characteristic of TTD. By identifying this pattern, we provide clear evidence of TTD's significant role in the damping of strong plasma turbulence. Additionally, we compare the TTD signature with that of Landau damping (LD). Although they both produce a bipolar pattern of phase-space energy density loss and gain about the parallel resonant velocity of the \Alfvenic waves, they are mediated by different forces and exhibit different behaviors as $v_\perp \to 0$. We also explore how the dominant damping mechanism varies with ion plasma beta $\beta_i$, showing that TTD dominates over LD for $\beta_i > 1$. This work deepens our understanding of the role of TTD in the damping of weakly collisional plasma turbulence and paves the way to seek the signature of TTD using in situ spacecraft observations of turbulence in space plasmas.

How long will the quasar UV/optical flickering be damped?
The UV/optical light curves of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are commonly described by the Damped Random Walk (DRW) model. However, the physical interpretation of the damping timescale, a key parameter in the DRW model, remains unclear. Particularly, recent observations indicate a weak dependence of the damping timescale upon both wavelength and accretion rate, clearly being inconsistent with the accretion-disk theory. In this study, we investigate the damping timescale in the framework of the Corona Heated Accretion disk Reprocessing (CHAR) model, a physical model that describes AGN variability. We find that while the CHAR model can reproduce the observed power spectral densities of the 20-year light curves for 190 sources from \cite{Stone2022}, the observed damping timescale, as well as its weak dependence on wavelength, can also be well recovered through fitting the mock light curves with DRW. We further demonstrate that such weak dependence is artificial due to the effect of inadequate durations of light curves, which leads to best-fitting damping timescales lower than the intrinsic ones. After eliminating this effect, the CHAR model indeed yields a strong dependence of the intrinsic damping timescale on the bolometric luminosity and rest-frame wavelength. Our results highlight the demand for sufficiently long light curves in AGN variability studies and important applications of the CHAR model in such studies.

Chemical Abundances in SFG and DLA
We investigate the chemical abundances of local star-forming galaxies which cause Damped Lyman Alpha lines. A metallicity versus redshift diagram is constructed, on which the chemical abundances of low-redshift star-forming galaxy populations are compared with those of high-redshift Damped Lyman Alpha systems. We disucss two types of experiments on individual star-forming galaxies. In the first, the Damped Lyman Alpha line is created against an internal ultraviolet light source generated by a star-forming cluster or a supernova explosion. In the second, the Damped Lyman Alpha line is seen against a background Quasar. The metallicities measured from ionized gas in the star-forming regions, and neutral gas in the Damped Lyman Alpha systems, are compared with one another on a case-by-case basis. We highlight the occurrence of the star-forming galaxy/Quasar pair SBS 1543+593/HS 1543+5921, where the emission- and absorption-line derived abundances give the same result. We argue that we therefore can in principle, interpret Damped Lyman Alpha system metallicities as an extension of star-forming galaxy metallicities to higher redshifts, supporting that gas-rich galaxies had lower chemical abundances when the were younger.

Fermi Liquid Damping and NMR Relaxation in Superconductors
Electron collisions for a two dimensional Fermi liquid (FL) are shown to give a quasiparticle damping with interesting frequency and temperature variations in the BCS superconducting state. The spin susceptibility which determines the structure of the damping is analyzed in the normal state for a Hubbard model with a constant on--site Coulomb repulsion. This is then generalized to the superconducting state by including coherence factors and self energy and vertex corrections. Calculations of the NMR relaxation rate reveal that the FL damping structure can reduce the Hebel--Slichter peak, in agreement with data on the organic superconductor (MDT-TTF)$_2$AuI$_2$. However, the strongly suppressed FL damping in the superconducting state does not eliminate the Hebel-Slichter peak, and thus suggests that other mechanisms are needed to explain the NMR data on (TMTSF)$_2$ClO$_4$, the BEDT organic compounds, and cuprate superconductors. Predictions of the temperature variation of the damping and the spin response are given over a wide frequency range as a guide to experimental probes of the symmetry of the superconducting pairs.

Topological asymmetry in the damping-pairing contribution of electron-boson scattering
We make a harmonic analysis of the pairing and damping contribution of a finite $k$ range isotropic electron-phonon (or other boson) scattering in an anisotropic two-dimensional electronic system. We show that the pairing contribution of the anisotropic part of the electronic system can be much larger than its damping contribution enhancing significantly T_c. The higher is the order of the harmonic of the electronic anisotropy, smaller is its damping contribution and higher can be the asymmetry in its damping-pairing contribution. This could explain the puzzle of a much broader quasiparticle peak in the n-doped than in the p-doped cuprates, their smaller T_c's being also attributed to larger damping effects.

Damping of condensate collective modes due to equilibration with the non-condensate
We consider the damping of condensate collective modes at finite temperatures arising from lack of equilibrium between the condensate and the non-condensate atoms, an effect that is ignored in the usual discussion of the collisionless region. As a first approximation, we ignore the dynamics of the thermal cloud. Our calculations should be applicable to collective modes of the condensate which are oscillating out-of-phase with the thermal cloud. We obtain a generalized Stringari equation of motion for the condensate at finite temperatures, which includes a damping term associated with the fact that the condensate is not in diffusive equilibrium with the static thermal cloud. This inter-component collisional damping of the condensate modes is comparable in magnitude to the Landau damping considered in the recent literature.

Theoretical limit of the minimal magnetization switching field and the optimal field pulse for Stoner particles
The theoretical limit of the minimal magnetization switching field and the optimal field pulse design for uniaxial Stoner particles are investigated. Two results are obtained. One is the existence of a theoretical limit of the smallest magnetic field out of all possible designs. It is shown that the limit is proportional to the damping constant in the weak damping regime and approaches the Stoner-Wohlfarth (SW) limit at large damping. For a realistic damping constant, this limit is more than ten times smaller than that of so-called precessional magnetization reversal under a non-collinear static field. The other is on the optimal field pulse design: If the magnitude of a magnetic field does not change, but its direction can vary during a reversal process, there is an optimal design that gives the shortest switching time. The switching time depends on the field magnitude, damping constant, and magnetic anisotropy. However, the optimal pulse shape depends only on the damping constant.

Magnetic effects on the viscous boundary layer damping of the r-modes in neutron stars
This paper explores the effects that magnetic fields have on the viscous boundary layers (VBLs) that can form in neutron stars at the crust-core interface, and it investigates the VBL damping of the gravitational-radiation driven r-mode instability. Approximate solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations valid in the VBL are found for ordinary-fluid neutron stars. It is shown that magnetic fields above 10^9 Gauss significantly change the structure of the VBL, and that magnetic fields decrease the VBL damping time. Furthermore, VBL damping completely suppresses the r-mode instability for B >= 10^{12} Gauss. Thus, magnetic fields will profoundly affect the VBL damping of the r-mode instability in hot young pulsars (that are cool enough to have formed a solid crust). One can speculate that magnetic fields can affect the VBL damping of this instability in LMXBs and other cold old pulsars (if they have sufficiently large internal fields).

Landau damping of partially incoherent Langmuir waves
It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave field. This equation is then used to analyze the stability properties of small perturbations on a stationary solution consisting of a constant amplitude wave with stochastic phase noise. The concomitant dispersion relation exhibits the phenomenon of Landau-like damping. However, this damping differs from the classical Landau damping in which a Langmuir wave, interacting with the plasma electrons, loses energy. In the present process, the damping is non-dissipative and is caused by the resonant interaction between an instantaneously-produced disturbance, due to the parametric interactions, and a partially incoherent Langmuir wave, which can be considered as a quasi-particle composed of an ensemble of partially incoherent plasmons.

Dynamic effects of electromagnetic wave on a damped two-level atom
We studied the dynamic effects of an electromagnetic(EM) wave with circular polarization on a two-level damped atom. The results demonstrate interesting ac Stark split of energy levels of damped atom. The split levels have different energies and lifetimes, both of which depend on the interaction and the damping rate of atom. When the frequency of the EM wave is tuned to satisfy the resonance condition in the strong coupling limit, the transition probability exhibits Rabi oscillation. Momentum transfer between atom and EM wave shows similar properties as the transition probability under resonance condition. For a damped atom interacting with EM field, there exists no longer stable state. More importantly, if the angular frequency of the EM wave is tuned the same as the atomic transition frequency and its amplitude is adjusted appropriately according to the damping coefficients, we can prepare a particular 'Dressed State' of the coupled system between atom and EM field and can keep the system coherently in this 'Dressed state' for a very long time. This opens another way to prepare coherent atomic states.

Spectroscopy of electronic defect states in Cu(In, Ga)(S, Se)$_2$-based heterojunctions and Schottky diodes under damp-heat exposure
The changes of defect characteristics induced by accelerated lifetime tests on the heterostructure n-ZnO/i-ZnO/CdS/Cu(In, Ga)(S, Se)$_2$/Mo relevant for photovoltaic energy conversion are investigated. We subject heterojunction and Schottky devices to extended damp heat exposure at 85$^{\circ}$C ambient temperature and 85% relative humidity for various time periods. In order to understand the origin of the pronounced changes of the devices, we apply current--voltage and capacitance--voltage measurements, admittance spectroscopy, and deep-level transient spectroscopy. The fill factor and open-circuit voltage of test devices are reduced after prolonged damp heat treatment, leading to a reduced energy conversion efficiency. We observe the presence of defect states in the vicinity of the CdS/chalcopyrite interface. Their activation energy increases due to damp heat exposure, indicating a reduced band bending at the Cu(In, Ga)(S, Se)$_2$ surface. The Fermi-level pinning at the buffer/chalcopyrite interface, maintaining a high band bending in as-grown cells, is lifted due to the damp-heat exposure. We also observe changes in the bulk defect spectra due to the damp-heat treatment.

Comparison Between Damping Coefficients of Measured Perforated Micromechanical Test Structures and Compact Models
Measured damping coefficients of six different perforated micromechanical test structures are compared with damping coefficients given by published compact models. The motion of the perforated plates is almost translational, the surface shape is rectangular, and the perforation is uniform validating the assumptions made for compact models. In the structures, the perforation ratio varies from 24% - 59%. The study of the structure shows that the compressibility and inertia do not contribute to the damping at the frequencies used (130kHz - 220kHz). The damping coefficients given by all four compact models underestimate the measured damping coefficient by approximately 20%. The reasons for this underestimation are discussed by studying the various flow components in the models.

Dispersion of Waves in Relativistic Plasmas with Isotropic Particle Distributions
The dispersion laws of Langmuir and transverse waves are calculated in the relativistic non-magnetized formalism for several isotropic particle distributions: thermal, power-law, relativistic Lorentzian $\kappa,$ and hybrid $\beta$. For Langmuir waves the parameters of superluminal undamped, subluminal damped principal and higher modes are determined for a range of distribution parameters. The undamped and principal damped modes are found to match smoothly. Principal damped and second damped modes are found not to match smoothly. The presence of maximum wavenumber is discovered above that no longitudinal modes formally exist. The higher damped modes are discovered to be qualitatively different for thermal and certain non-thermal distributions. Consistently with the known results, the Landau damping is calculated to be stronger for non-thermal power-law-like distributions. The dispersion law is obtained for the single undamped transverse mode. The analytic results for the simplest distributions are provided.

Torsional waves propagation in an initially stressed dissipative cylinder
The present paper has been framed to show the effect of damping on the propagation of torsional waves in an initially stressed, dissipative, incompressible cylinder of infinite length. A governing equation has been formulated on Biot's incremental deformation theory. The velocities of torsional waves are obtained as complex ones, in which real part gives the phase velocity of propagation and corresponding imaginary part gives the damping. The study reveals that the damping of the medium has strong effect in the propagation of torsional wave. Since every medium has damping so it is more realistic to use the damped wave equation instead of the undamped wave equation. The study also shows that the velocity of propagation of such waves depend on the presence of initial stress. The influences of damping and initial stresses are shown separately.

Atomistic theory for the damping of vibrational modes in mono-atomic gold chains
We develop a computational method for evaluating the damping of vibrational modes in mono-atomic metallic chains suspended between bulk crystals under external strain. The damping is due to the coupling between the chain and contact modes and the phonons in the bulk substrates. The geometry of the atoms forming the contact is taken into account. The dynamical matrix is computed with density functional theory in the atomic chain and the contacts using finite atomic displacements, while an empirical method is employed for the bulk substrate. As a specific example, we present results for the experimentally realized case of gold chains in two different crystallographic directions. The range of the computed damping rates confirm the estimates obtained by fits to experimental data [Frederiksen et al., Phys. Rev. B, 75, 205413(R)(2007)]. Our method indicates that an order-of-magnitude variation in the damping is possible even for relatively small changes in the strain. Such detailed insight is necessary for a quantitative analysis of damping in metallic atomic chains, and in explaining the rich phenomenology seen in the experiments.

A Kinetic Alfven wave cascade subject to collisionless damping cannot reach electron scales in the solar wind at 1 AU
(Abridged) Turbulence in the solar wind is believed to generate an energy cascade that is supported primarily by Alfv\'en waves or Alfv\'enic fluctuations at MHD scales and by kinetic Alfv\'en waves (KAWs) at kinetic scales $k_\perp \rho_i\gtrsim 1$. Linear Landau damping of KAWs increases with increasing wavenumber and at some point the damping becomes so strong that the energy cascade is completely dissipated. A model of the energy cascade process that includes the effects of linear collisionless damping of KAWs and the associated compounding of this damping throughout the cascade process is used to determine the wavenumber where the energy cascade terminates. It is found that this wavenumber occurs approximately when $|\gamma/\omega|\simeq 0.25$, where $\omega(k)$ and $\gamma(k)$ are, respectively, the real frequency and damping rate of KAWs and the ratio $\gamma/\omega$ is evaluated in the limit as the propagation angle approaches 90 degrees relative to the direction of the mean magnetic field.

Alfvèn wave phase-mixing and damping in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies
Aims. To determine the effect of the Hall term in the generalised Ohm's law on the damping and phase mixing of Alfven waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies in uniform and non-uniform equilibrium plasmas. Methods. Wave damping in a uniform plasma is treated analytically, whilst a Lagrangian remap code (Lare2d) is used to study Hall effects on damping and phase mixing in the presence of an equilibrium density gradient. Results. The magnetic energy associated with an initially Gaussian field perturbation in a uniform resistive plasma is shown to decay algebraically at a rate that is unaffected by the Hall term to leading order in k^2di^2 where k is wavenumber and di is ion skin depth. A similar algebraic decay law applies to whistler perturbations in the limit k^2di^2>>1. In a non-uniform plasma it is found that the spatially-integrated damping rate due to phase mixing is lower in Hall MHD than it is in MHD, but the reduction in the damping rate, which can be attributed to the effects of wave dispersion, tends to zero in both the weak and strong phase mixing limits.

Environment-assisted quantum Minority games
The effect of entanglement and correlated noise in a four-player quantum Minority game is investigated. Different time correlated quantum memory channels are considered to analyze the Nash equilibrium payoff of the 1st player. It is seen that the Nash equilibrium payoff is substantially enhanced due to the presence of correlated noise. The behaviour of damping channels (amplitude damping and phase damping) is approximately similar. However, bit-phase flip channel heavily influences the minority game as compared to other channels in the presence of correlated noise. On the other hand, phase flip channel has a symmetrical behaviour around 50% noise threshold. The significant reduction in payoffs due to decoherence is well compensated due to the presence of correlated noise. However, the Nash equilibrium of the game does not change in the presence of noise. It is seen that in case of generalized amplitude damping channel, entanglement plays a significant role at lower level of decoherence. The channel has less dominant effects on the payoff at higher values of decoherence. Furthermore, amplitude damping and generalized amplitude damping channels have almost comparable effects at lower level of decoherence $(p<0.5)$. Therefore, the game deserves careful study during its implementation due to prominent role of noise for different channels.

Viscous damping of r-modes: Large amplitude saturation
We analyze the viscous damping of r-mode oscillations of compact stars, taking into account non-linear viscous effects in the large-amplitude regime. The qualitatively different cases of hadronic stars, strange quark stars, and hybrid stars are studied. We calculate the viscous damping times of r-modes, obtaining numerical results and also general approximate analytic expressions that explicitly exhibit the dependence on the parameters that are relevant for a future spindown evolution calculation. The strongly enhanced damping of large amplitude oscillations leads to damping times that are considerably lower than those obtained when the amplitude dependence of the viscosity is neglected. Consequently, large-amplitude viscous damping competes with the gravitational instability at all physical frequencies and could stop the r-mode growth in case this is not done before by non-linear hydrodynamic mechanisms.

Viscous damping of nanobeam resonators: humidity, thermal noise and the paddling effect
The nanobeam resonator is the key mechanical component in the nano-electromechanical system. In addition to its high frequency originating from its low dimension, the performance is significantly influenced by the circumstances, especially at nanoscale where a large surface area of the material is exposed. Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical analysis are used for a quantitative prediction on the damping behavior, such as the critical damping condition and lifetime, of nanobeam resonators that directly maps the fluid-structure properties and interaction information into dynamical behaviors. We show here how the humidity defines the critical damping condition through viscous forces, marking the transition from under-damping to over-damping regime at elevated humidity. Novel phenomena such as the thermal fluctuation and paddling effects are also discussed.

Damping by branching: a bioinspiration from trees
Man-made slender structures are known to be sensitive to high levels of vibration, due to their flexibility, which often cause irreversible damage. In nature, trees repeatedly endure large amplitudes of motion, mostly caused by strong climatic events, yet with minor or no damage in most cases. A new damping mechanism inspired by the architecture of trees is here identified and characterized in the simplest tree-like structure, a Y-shape branched structure. Through analytical and numerical analyses of a simple two-degree-of-freedom model, branching is shown to be the key ingredient in this protective mechanism that we call damping-by-branching. It originates in the geometrical nonlinearities so that it is specifically efficient to damp out large amplitudes of motion. A more realistic model, using flexible beam approximation, shows that the mechanism is robust. Finally, two bioinspired architectures are analyzed, showing significant levels of damping achieved via branching with typically 30% of the energy being dissipated in one oscillation. This concept of damping-by-branching is of simple practical use in the design of slender flexible structures.

Dispersion and damping of potential surface waves in a degenerate plasma
Potential (electrostatic) surface waves in plasma half-space with degenerate electrons are studied using the quasi-classical mean-field kinetic model. The wave spectrum and the collisionless damping rate are obtained numerically for a wide range of wavelengths. In the limit of long wavelengths, the wave frequency $\omega$ approaches the cold-plasma limit $\omega=\omega_p/\sqrt{2}$ with $\omega_p$ being the plasma frequency, while at short wavelengths, the wave spectrum asymptotically approaches the spectrum of zero-sound mode propagating along the boundary. It is shown that the surface waves in this system remain weakly damped at all wavelengths (in contrast to strongly damped surface waves in Maxwellian electron plasmas), and the damping rate nonmonotonically depends on the wavelength, with the maximum (yet small) damping occuring for surface waves with wavelength of $\approx5\pi\lambda_{F}$, where $\lambda_{F}$ is the Thomas-Fermi length.

Smooth attractors of finite dimension for von Karman evolutions with nonlinear frictional damping localized in a boundary layer
In this paper dynamic von Karman equations with localized interior damping supported in a boundary collar are considered. Hadamard well-posedness for von Karman plates with various types of nonlinear damping are well-known, and the long-time behavior of nonlinear plates has been a topic of recent interest. Since the von Karman plate system is of "hyperbolic type" with critical nonlinearity (noncompact with respect to the phase space), this latter topic is particularly challenging in the case of geometrically constrained and nonlinear damping. In this paper we first show the existence of a compact global attractor for finite-energy solutions, and we then prove that the attractor is both smooth and finite dimensional. Thus, the hyperbolic-like flow is stabilized asymptotically to a smooth and finite dimensional set. Key terms: dynamical systems, long-time behavior, global attractors, nonlinear plates, nonlinear damping, localized damping

Landau Damping in a Turbulent Setting
To address the problem of Landau damping in kinetic turbulence, the forcing of the linearized Vlasov equation by a stationary random source is considered. It is found that the time-asymptotic density response is dominated by resonant particle interactions that are synchronized with the source. The energy consumption of this response is calculated, implying an effective damping rate, which is the main result of this paper. Evaluating several cases, it is found that the effective damping rate can differ from the Landau damping rate in magnitude and also, remarkably, in sign. A limit is demonstrated in which the density and current become phase-locked, which causes the effective damping to be negligible; this potentially resolves an energy paradox that arises in the application of critical balance to a kinetic turbulence cascade.

Asymptotic Dynamics of a Class of Coupled Oscillators Driven by White Noises
This paper is devoted to the study of the asymptotic dynamics of a class of coupled second order oscillators driven by white noises. It is shown that any system of such coupled oscillators with positive damping and coupling coefficients possesses a global random attractor. Moreover, when the damping and the coupling coefficients are sufficiently large, the global random attractor is a one-dimensional random horizontal curve regardless of the strength of the noises, and the system has a rotation number, which implies that the oscillators in the system tend to oscillate with the same frequency eventually and therefore the so called frequency locking is successful. The results obtained in this paper generalize many existing results on the asymptotic dynamics for a single second order noisy oscillator to systems of coupled second order noisy oscillators. They show that coupled damped second order oscillators with large damping have similar asymptotic dynamics as the limiting coupled first order oscillators as the damping goes to infinite and also that coupled damped second order oscillators have similar asymptotic dynamics as their proper space continuous counterparts, which are of great practical importance.

Influence of sample geometry on inductive damping measurement methods
We study the precession frequency and effective damping of patterned permalloy thin films of different geometry using integrated inductive test structures. The test structures consist of coplanar wave guides fabricated onto patterned permalloy stripes of different geometry. The width, length and position of the permalloy stripe with respect to the center conductor of the wave guide are varied. The precession frequency and effective damping of the different devices is derived by inductive measurements in time and frequency domain in in-plane magnetic fields. While the precession frequencies do not reveal a significant dependence on the sample geometry we find a decrease of the measured damping with increasing width of the permalloy centered underneath the center conductor of the coplanar wave guide. We attribute this effect to an additional damping contribution due to inhomogeneous line broadening at the edges of the permalloy stripes which does not contribute to the inductive signal provided the permalloy stripe is wider than the center conductor. Consequences for inductive determination of the effective damping using such integrated reference samples are discussed.

The best decay rate of the damped plate equation in a square
In this paper we study the best decay rate of the solutions of a damped plate equation in a square and with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show that the fastest decay rate is given by the supremum of the real part of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of the underlying semigroup, if the damping coefficient is in $L^\infty(\Omega).$ Moreover, we give some numerical illustrations by spectral computation of the spectrum associated to the damped plate equation. The numerical results obtained for various cases of damping are in a good agreement with theoretical ones. Computation of the spectrum and energy of discrete solution of damped plate show that the best decay rate is given by spectral abscissa of numerical solution.

Determination of the cross-field density structuring in coronal waveguides using the damping of transverse waves
Time and spatial damping of transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) kink oscillations is a source of information on the cross-field variation of the plasma density in coronal waveguides. We show that a probabilistic approach to the problem of determining the density structuring from the observed damping of transverse oscillations enables us to obtain information on the two parameters that characterise the cross-field density profile. The inference is performed by computing the marginal posterior distributions for density contrast and transverse inhomo- geneity length-scale using Bayesian analysis and damping ratios for transverse oscillations under the assumption that damping is produced by resonant absorption. The obtained distributions show that, for damping times of a few oscillatory periods, low density contrasts and short inho- mogeneity length scales are more plausible in explaining observations. This means that valuable information on the cross-field density profile can be obtained even if the inversion problem, with two unknowns and one observable, is a mathematically ill-posed problem.

Distributed Approximate Message Passing for Compressed Sensing
In this paper, an efficient distributed approach for implementing the approximate message passing (AMP) algorithm, named distributed AMP (DAMP), is developed for compressed sensing (CS) recovery in sensor networks with the sparsity K unknown. In the proposed DAMP, distributed sensors do not have to use or know the entire global sensing matrix, and the burden of computation and storage for each sensor is reduced. To reduce communications among the sensors, a new data query algorithm, called global computation for AMP (GCAMP), is proposed. The proposed GCAMP based DAMP approach has exactly the same recovery solution as the centralized AMP algorithm, which is proved theoretically in the paper. The performance of the DAMP approach is evaluated in terms of the communication cost saved by using GCAMP. For comparison purpose, thresholding algorithm (TA), a well known distributed Top-K algorithm, is modified so that it also leads to the same recovery solution as the centralized AMP. Numerical results demonstrate that the GCAMP based DAMP outperforms the Modified TA based DAMP, and reduces the communication cost significantly.

The most metal-rich damped Lyman alpha systems at z>1.5 I: The Data
We present HIRES observations for 30 damped Lyman alpha systems, selected on the basis of their large metal column densities from previous, lower resolution data. The measured metal column densities for Fe, Zn, S, Si, Cr, Mn, and Ni are provided for these 30 systems. Combined with previously observed large metal column density damped Lyman alpha systems, we present a sample of 44 damped Lyman alpha systems observed with high resolution spectrographs (R~30000). These damped Lyman alpha systems probe the most chemically evolved systems at redshifts greater than 1.5. We discuss the context of our sample with the general damped Lyman alpha population, demonstrating that we are probing the top 10% of metal column densities with our sample. In a companion paper, we will present an analysis of the sample's elemental abundances in the context of galactic chemical enrichment.

Role of nonlinear anisotropic damping in the magnetization dynamics of topological solitons
The consequences of nonlinear anisotropic damping, driven by the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling in thin ferromagnetic metals, are examined for the dynamics of topological magnetic solitons such as domain walls, vortices, and skyrmions. The damping is found to affect Bloch and N\'eel walls differently in the steady state regime below Walker breakdown and leads to a monotonic increase in the wall velocity above this transition for large values of the Rashba coefficient. For vortices and skyrmions, a generalization of the damping tensor within the Thiele formalism is presented. It is found that chiral components of the damping affect vortex- and hedgehog-like skyrmions in different ways, but the dominant effect is an overall increase in the viscous-like damping.

Transient nutations decay in diluted paramagnetic solids: a radiation damping mechanism
Here, a theory of the intensity and concentration dependent damping of nutation signals observed by Boscaino et al. (Phys. Rev B 48, 7077 (1993); Phys. Rev. A 59, 4087 (1999)) and by others in various two-level spin systems is proposed. It is shown that in diluted paramagnetic solids contribution of dipole-dipole interaction to the nutation decay is negligibly small. We elaborated a cavity loss (radiation damping) mechanism that explains the intensity- and concentration dependence of the damping. It is shown that instead of ordinary Bloch's transverse T2 and longitudinal T1 damping parameters the decay of transverse and longitudinal spin components in nutation process are described by one and the same intensity-, concentration-, frequency- and time dependent damping parameter.

Increased magnetic damping of a single domain wall and adjacent magnetic domains detected by spin torque diode in a nanostripe
We use spin-torque resonance to probe simultaneously and separately the dynamics of a magnetic domain wall and of magnetic domains in a nanostripe magnetic tunnel junction. Thanks to the large associated resistance variations we are able to analyze quantitatively the resonant properties of these single nanoscale magnetic objects. In particular, we find that the magnetic damping of both domains and domain walls is doubled compared to the damping value of their host magnetic layer. We estimate the contributions to damping arising from dipolar couplings between the different layers in the junction and from the intralayer spin pumping effect. We find that they cannot explain the large damping enhancement that we observe. We conclude that the measured increased damping is intrinsic to large amplitudes excitations of spatially localized modes or solitons such as vibrating or propagating domain walls

Influence of nonlocal damping on the field-driven domain wall motion
We derive the complete expression of nonlocal damping in noncollinear magnetization due to the nonuniform spin current pumped by precessional magnetization and incorporate it into a generalized Thiele equation to study its effects on the dynamics of the transverse and vortex domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic nanowires. We demonstrate that the transverse component of nonlocal damping slows down the field-driven DW propagation and increases the Walker breakdown field whereas it is neglected in many previous works in literature. The experimentally measured DW mobility variation with the damping tuned by doping with heavy rare-earth elements that had discrepancy from micromagnetic simulation are now well understood with the nonlocal damping. Our results suggest that the nonlocal damping should be properly included as a prerequisite for quantitative studies of current-induced torques in noncollinear magnetization.

Damping of the Collective Amplitude Mode in Superconductors with Strong Electron-Phonon Coupling
We study the effect of strong electron-phonon interactions on the damping of the Higgs amplitude mode in superconductors by means of non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field simulations of the Holstein model. In contrast to the BCS dynamics, we find that the damping of the Higgs mode strongly depends on the temperature, becoming faster as the systen approaches the transition temperature. The damping at low temperatures is well described by a power-law, while near the transition temperature the damping shows exponential-like behavior. We explain this crossover by a temperature-dependent quasiparticle lifetime caused by the strong electron- phonon coupling, which smears the superconducting gap edge and makes the relaxation of the Higgs mode into quasiparticles more efficient at elevated temperatures. We also reveal that the phonon dynamics can soften the Higgs mode, which results in a slower damping.

Damped Infinite Energy Solutions of the 3D Euler and Boussinesq Equations
We revisit a family of infinite-energy solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations proposed by Gibbon et al. [9] and shown to blowup in finite time by Constantin [6]. By adding a damping term to the momentum equation we examine how the damping coefficient can arrest this blowup. Further, we show that similar infinite-energy solutions of the inviscid 3D Boussinesq system with damping can develop a singularity in finite time as long as the damping effects are insufficient to arrest the (undamped) 3D Euler blowup in the associated damped 3D Euler system.

Anomalous Damping of a Micro-electro-mechanical Oscillator in Superfluid $^3$He-B
The mechanical resonance properties of a micro-electro-mechanical oscillator with a gap of 1.25 $\mu$m was studied in superfluid $^3$He-B at various pressures. The oscillator was driven in the linear damping regime where the damping coefficient is independent of the oscillator velocity. The quality factor of the oscillator remains low ($Q\approx 80$) down to 0.1 $T_c$, 4 orders of magnitude less than the intrinsic quality factor measured in vacuum at 4 K. In addition to the Boltzmann temperature dependent contribution to the damping, a damping proportional to temperature was found to dominate at low temperatures. We propose a multiple scattering mechanism of the surface Andreev bound states to be a possible cause for the anomalous damping.

Dynamics of cohering and decohering power under Markovian channels
In this paper, we investigate the cohering and decohering power for the one-qubit Markovian channels with respect to coherence in terms of the $l_{1}$-norm, the R$\acute{e}$nyi $\alpha$-relative entropy and the Tsallis $\alpha$-relative entropy. In the case of $\alpha=2$, the cohering and decohering power of the amplitude damping channel, the phase damping channel, the depolarizing channel, and the flip channels under the three measures of coherence are calculated analytically. The decohering power on the $x, y, z$ basis referring to the amplitude damping channel, the phase damping channel, the flip channel for every measure we investigated is equal. This property also happens in the cohering power of the phase damping channel, the depolarizing channel, and the flip channels. However, the decohering power of the depolarizing channel is independent to the reference basis, and the cohering power of the amplitude damping channel on the $x, y$ basis is different to that on the $z$ basis.

Decoherence effects on multiplayer cooperative quantum games
We study the behavior of cooperative multiplayer quantum games [35,36] in the presence of decoherence using different quantum channels such as amplitude damping, depolarizing and phase damping. It is seen that the outcomes of the games for the two damping channels with maximum values of decoherence reduce to same value. However, in comparison to phase damping channel, the payoffs of cooperators are strongly damped under the influence\ amplitude damping channel for\ the lower values of decoherence parameter. In the case of depolarizing channel, the game is a no-payoff game irrespective of the degree of entanglement in the initial state for the larger values of decoherence parameter. The decoherence gets the cooperators worse off.

Blow-up for semilinear damped wave equations with sub-Strauss exponent in the scattering case
It is well-known that the critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations is Fujita exponent when the damping is effective. Lai, Takamura and Wakasa in 2017 have obtained a blow-up result not only for super-Fujita exponent but also for the one closely related to Strauss exponent when the damping is scaling invariant and its constant is relatively small,which has been recently extended by Ikeda and Sobajima. Introducing a multiplier for the time-derivative of the spatial integral of unknown functions, we succeed in employing the technics on the analysis for semilinear wave equations and proving a blow-up result for semilinear damped wave equations with sub-Strauss exponent when the damping is in the scattering range.

Resonant absorption of surface sausage and surface kink modes under photospheric conditions
We study the effect of resonant absorption of surface sausage and surface kink modes under photospheric conditions where the slow surface sausage modes undergo resonant damping in the slow continuum and the surface kink modes in the slow and Alfv\'{e}n continua at the transitional layers. We use recently derived analytical formulas to obtain the damping rate (time). By considering linear density and linear pressure profiles for the transitional layers, we show that resonant absorption in the slow continuum could be an efficient mechanism for the wave damping of the slow surface sausage and slow surface kink modes whilst the damping rate of the slow surface kink mode in the Alfv\'{e}n continuum is weak. It is also found that the resonant damping of the fast surface kink mode is much stronger than that of the slow surface kink mode, showing a similar efficiency as under coronal conditions. It is worth to notice that the slow body sausage and kink modes can also resonantly damp in the slow continuum for those linear profiles.

Nonexistence of global solutions of nonlinear wave equations with weak time-dependent damping related to Glassey conjecture
This work is devoted to the nonexistence of global-in-time energy solutions of nonlinear wave equation of derivative type with weak time-dependent damping in the scattering and scale invariant range. By introducing some multipliers to absorb the damping term, we succeed in establishing the same upper bound of the lifespan for the scattering damping as the non-damped case, which is a part of so-called Glassey conjecture on nonlinear wave equations. We also study an upper bound of the lifespan for the scale invariant damping with the same method.

Stabilisation of wave equations on the torus with rough dampings
For the damped wave equation on a compact manifold with {\em continuous} dampings, the geometric control condition is necessary and sufficient for {uniform} stabilisation. In this article, on the two dimensional torus, in the special case where $a(x) = \sum\_{j=1}^N a\_j 1\_{x\in R\_j}$ ($R\_j$ are polygons), we give a very simple necessary and sufficient geometric condition for uniform stabilisation. We also propose a natural generalization of the geometric control condition which makes sense for $L^\infty$ dampings. We show that this condition is always necessary for uniform stabilisation (for any compact (smooth) manifold and any $L^\infty$ damping), and we prove that it is sufficient in our particular case on $\mathbb{T}^2$ (and for our particular dampings).

Optical Rotation of Levitated Spheres in High Vacuum
A circularly polarized laser beam is used to levitate and control the rotation of microspheres in high vacuum. At low pressure, rotation frequencies as high as 6 MHz are observed for birefringent vaterite spheres, limited by centrifugal stresses. Due to the extremely low damping in high vacuum, controlled optical rotation of amorphous SiO$_2$ spheres is also observed at rates above several MHz. At $10^{-7}$ mbar, a damping time of $6\times10^4$ s is measured for a $10\ \mu$m diameter SiO$_2$ sphere. No additional damping mechanisms are observed above gas damping, indicating that even longer damping times may be possible with operation at lower pressure. The controlled optical rotation of microspheres at MHz frequencies with low damping, including for materials that are not intrinsically birefringent, provides a new tool for performing precision measurements using optically levitated systems.

A conservation law with spatially localized sublinear damping
We consider a general conservation law on the circle, in the presence of a sublinear damping. If the damping acts on the whole circle, then the solution becomes identically zero in finite time, following the same mechanism as the corresponding ordinary differential equation. When the damping acts only locally in space, we show a dichotomy: if the flux function is not zero at the origin, then the transport mechanism causes the extinction of the solution in finite time, as in the first case. On the other hand, if zero is a non-degenerate critical point of the flux function, then the solution becomes extinct in finite time only inside the damping zone, decays algebraically uniformly in space, and we exhibit a boundary layer, shrinking with time, around the damping zone. Numerical illustrations show how similar phenomena may be expected for other equations.

Microwave magnon damping in YIG films at millikelvin temperatures
Magnon systems used in quantum devices require low damping if coherence is to be maintained. The ferrimagnetic electrical insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has low magnon damping at room temperature and is a strong candidate to host microwave magnon excitations in future quantum devices. Monocrystalline YIG films are typically grown on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates. In this work, comparative experiments made on YIG waveguides with and without GGG substrates indicate that the material plays a significant role in increasing the damping at low temperatures. Measurements reveal that damping due to temperature-peak processes is dominant above 1 K. Damping behaviour that we show can be attributed to coupling to two-level fluctuators (TLFs) is observed below 1 K. Upon saturating the TLFs in the substrate-free YIG at 20 mK, linewidths of 1.4 MHz are achievable: lower than those measured at room temperature.

Stability for coupled waves with locally disturbed Kelvin-Voigt damping
We consider a coupled wave system with partial Kelvin-Voigt damping in the interval (-1,1), where one wave is dissipative and the other does not. When the damping is effective in the whole domain (-1,1) it was proven in H.Portillo Oquendo and P.Sanez Pacheco, optimal decay for coupled waves with Kelvin-voigt damping, Applied Mathematics Letters 67 (2017), 16-20. That the energy is decreasing over the time with a rate equal to $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$. In this paper, using the frequency domain method we show the effect of the coupling and the non smoothness of the damping coefficient on the energy decay. Actually, as expected we show the lack of exponential stability, that the semigroup loses speed and it decays polynomially with a slower rate then given in, H.Portillo Oquendo and P.Sanez Pacheco, optimal decay for coupled waves with Kelvin-voigt damping, Applied Mathematics Letters 67 (2017), 16-20, down to zero at least as $t^{-\frac{1}{12}}$.

Slow magnetosonic wave absorption by pressure induced ionization-recombination dissipation
A new mechanisms for damping of slow magnetosonic waves (SMW) by pressure induced oscillations of the ionization degree is proposed. An explicit formula for the damping rate is quantitatively derived. Physical conditions where the new mechanism will dominate are briefly discussed. The ionization-recombination damping is frequency independent and has no hydrodynamic interpretation. Roughly speaking large area of partially ionized plasma are damper for basses of SMW while usual MHD mechanisms operate as a low pass filter. The derived damping rate is proportional to the square of the sine between the constant magnetic field and the wave-vector. Angular distribution of the spectral density of SMW and Alfv\'en waves (AW) created by turbulent regions and passing through large regions of partially ionized plasma is qualitatively considered. The calculated damping rate is expressed by the electron impact cross section of the hydrogen atom and in short all details of the proposed damping mechanisms are well studied.

Polynomial stabilization of non-smooth direct/indirect elastic/viscoelastic damping problem involving Bresse system
We consider an elastic/viscoelastic transmission problem for the Bresse system with fully Dirichlet or Dirichlet-Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions. The physical model consists of three wave equations coupled in certain pattern. The system is damped directly or indirectly by global or local Kelvin-Voigt damping. Actually, the number of the dampings, their nature of distribution (locally or globally) and the smoothness of the damping coefficient at the interface play a crucial role in the type of the stabilization of the corresponding semigroup. Indeed, using frequency domain approach combined with multiplier techniques and the construction of a new multiplier function, we establish different types of energy decay rate (see the table of stability results below). Our results generalize and improve many earlier ones in the literature and in particular some studies done on the Timoshenko system with Kelvin-Voigt damping.

Uniformly-Damped Binomial Filters: Five-percent Maximum Overshoot Optimal Response Design
In this paper, the five-percent maximum overshoot design of uniformly-damped binomial filters (transfer-functions) is introduced. First, the butterworth filter response is represented as a damped-binomial filter response. To extend the maximum-overshoot response of the second-order butterworth to higher orders, the binomial theorem is extended to the uniformly-damped binomial theorem. It is shown that the five-percent uniformly-damped binomial filter is a compromise between the butterworth filter and the standard binomial filter, with respect to the filter-approximation problem in the time and frequency domain. Finally, this paper concludes that in applications of interest, such as step-tracking, where both strong filtering and a fast, smooth transient-response, with negligible overshoot are desired, the response of the normalized five-percent uniformly-damped binomial form is a candidate replacement for both the butterworth and standard binomial filter forms.
