Quantum secret sharing for general access structures

We explore the conversion of classical secret-sharing schemes to quantum ones, and how this can be used to give efficient QSS schemes for general adversary structures. Our first result is that quantum secret-sharing is possible for any structure for which no two disjoint sets can reconstruct the secret (this was also proved, somewhat differently, by D. Gottesman). To obtain this we show that a large class of linear classical SS schemes can be converted into quantum schemes of the same efficiency. We also give a necessary and sufficient condiion for the direct conversion of classical schemes into quantum ones, and show that all group homomorphic schemes satisfy it.
LOSS Revisited. II. The Relative Rates of Different Types of Supernovae Vary between Low- and High-mass Galaxies

In Paper I of this series, we showed that the ratio between stripped-envelope (SE) supernova (SN) and Type II SN rates reveals a significant SE SN deficiency in galaxies with stellar masses ≲ 10 10 M ☉ . Here, we test this result by splitting the volume-limited subsample of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) SN sample into low- and high-mass galaxies and comparing the relative rates of various SN types found in them. The LOSS volume-limited sample contains 180 SNe and SN impostors and is complete for SNe Ia out to 80 Mpc and core-collapse SNe out to 60 Mpc. All of these transients were recently reclassified by us in Shivvers et al. We find that the relative rates of some types of SNe differ between low- and high-mass galaxies: SNe Ib and Ic are underrepresented by a factor of ∼3 in low-mass galaxies. These galaxies also contain the only examples of SN 1987A-like SNe in the sample and host about nine times as many SN impostors. Normal SNe Ia seem to be ∼30% more common in low-mass galaxies, making these galaxies better sources for homogeneous SN Ia cosmology samples. The relative rates of SNe IIb are consistent in both low- and high-mass galaxies. The same is true for broad-line SNe Ic, although our sample includes only two such objects. The results presented here are in tension with a similar analysis from the Palomar Transient Factory, especially as regards SNe IIb.
The correlation between phase formation and the structure of the pellets with the fungal immobilization study as a commercial substrate culture/planting material

Calcined clay pellets are popular planting material for those who love to grow plants in pots. The calcined clay pellets consist of clay (C), phosphate rock (PR), and rice husk ash (RHA). [(1-x)(50C–50PR)-xRHA], x(RHA) = 0, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, and 0.65 wt% were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The samples were made into a spherical shape with a diameter of 10 mm and fired at 600℃ to 1000℃. The effect of x contents on phase formation, microstructure, and chemical properties of [(1-x)(50C–50PR)-xRHA] was studied. X-ray diffraction revealed the typical assemblages with quartz, illite, and kaolinite in all the samples. SEM images of samples showed irregular packing and a highly porous microstructure. The addition of x(RHA) contents results in porous microstructure in all the samples. The surface area and pore volume of samples increased from 8.83 m2·g-1 to 14.71 m2·g-1 and 0.938 cm3·g-1 to 0.942 cm3·g-1, respectively, with the increase of x(RHA). The density of the samples slightly decreased from 2.45±0.06 g·cm-3 to 1.94±0.05 g·cm-3, with an increase in x(RHA) contents. The capability of calcined clay pellets to immobilize plant growth-promoting fungi was then studied. The results showed that orchid endophytes, as plant growth-promoting fungi, grow well on the calcined clay pellets saturated with potato dextrose broth (PDB). Besides, all fungi can live on calcined clay pellets and stay viable for at least 35 days after inoculation. These results suggested that the calcined clay pellets could serve as planting material that enhances plant growth (via its nutrients and growth-promoting fungi) simultaneously.
ON THE DETECTABILITY OF A PREDICTED MESOLENSING EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PROPER MOTION STAR VB 10

Extrapolation of the astrometric motion of the nearby low-mass star VB 10 indicates that sometime in late 2011 December or during the first 2–3 months of 2012, the star will make a close approach to a background point source. Based on astrometric uncertainties, we estimate a 1 in 2 chance that the distance of closest approach ρmin will be less than 100 mas, a 1 in 5 chance that ρmin < 50 mas, and a 1 in 10 chance that ρmin < 20 mas. The last would result in a microlensing event with a 6% magnification in the light from the background source and an astrometric shift of 3.3 mas. The lensing signal will however be significantly diluted by the light from VB 10, which is 1.5 mag brighter than the background source in B band, 5 mag brighter in I band, and 10 mag brighter in K band, making the event undetectable in all but the bluer optical bands. However, we show that if VB 10 happens to harbor a ∼1 MJ planet on a moderately wide (≈0.18 AU−0.84 AU) orbit, there is a chance (1% to more than 10%, depending on the distance of closest approach and orbital period and inclination) that a passage of the planet closer to the background source will result in a secondary event of higher magnification. The detection of secondary events could be made possible with a several-times-per-night multi-site monitoring campaign.
Origin and detectability of co-orbital planets from radial velocity data

We analyze the possibilities of detection of hypothetical exoplanets in coorbital motion from synthetic radial velocity (RV) signals, taking into accoun t different types of stable planar configurations, orbital eccentricities and mass ratios. Fo r each nominal solution corresponding to small-amplitude oscillations around the periodic solut ion, we generate a series of synthetic RV curves mimicking the stellar motion around the barycenter of the system. We then fit the data sets obtained assuming three possible different orbit al architectures: (a) two planets in coorbital motion, (b) two planets in a 2/1 mean-motion resonance, and (c) a single planet. We compare the resulting residuals and the estimated orbital parameters. For synthetic data sets covering only a few orbital periods, we find that the discrete radial velocity signal generated by a coorbital configuration coul d be easily confused with other configurations/systems, and in many cases the best orbital fi t corresponds to either a single planet or two bodies in a 2/1 resonance. However, most of the incorrect identifications are associated to dynamically unstable solutions. We also compare the orbital parameters obtained with two different fitting strategies: a simultaneous fit of two planets and a nested multi-Kepleria n model. We find that, even for data sets covering over ten orbital periods, the nested m odels can yield incorrect orbital configurations (sometimes close to fictitious mean-motion r esonances) that are nevertheless dynamically stable and with orbital eccentricities lower t han the correct nominal solutions. Finally, we discuss plausible mechanisms for the formation of coorbital configurations, by the interaction between two giant planets and an inner cavity in the gas disk. For equal mass planets, both Lagrangian and anti-Lagrangian configur ations can be obtained from same initial condition depending on final time of integration.

Tuning competing orders in La2-xSrxCuO4 cuprate superconductors by the application of an external magnetic field

We report the results of a combined muon-spin rotation and neutron-scattering study on La2-xSrxCuO4 in the vicinity of the so-called 1/8 anomaly. Application of a magnetic field drives the system toward a magnetically ordered spin-density-wave state, which is fully developed at 1/8 doping. The results are discussed in terms of competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters.
Dust reddening in star-forming galaxies

Abstract Dust is a crucial component of galaxies in modifying the observed properties of galaxies. Previous studies have suggested that dust reddening in star-forming galaxies is correlated with star formation rate (SFR), luminosity, gas-phase metallicity (Z), stellar mass (M*) and inclination. In this work we investigate the fundamental relations between dust reddening and physical properties of galaxies, and obtain a well-defined empirical recipe for dust reddening. The empirical formulae can be incorporated into semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution to estimate the dust reddening and facilitate comparison with observations.
Holographic Calculation of Boundary Entropy

We use the holographic proposal for calculating entanglement entropies to determine the boundary entropy of defects in strongly coupled two-dimensional conformal field theories. We study several examples including the Janus solution and show that the boundary entropy extracted from the entanglement entropy as well as its more conventional definition via the free energy agree with each other. Maybe somewhat surprisingly we find that, unlike in the case of a conformal field theory with boundary, the entanglement entropy for a generic region in a theory with defect carries detailed information about the microscopic details of the theory. We also argue that the g-theorem for the boundary entropy is closely related to the strong subadditivity of the entanglement entropy.
Hadron Production via e+e- Collisions with Initial State Radiation

A novel method of studying e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e{sup +}e{sup -} colliders is described. After a brief history of the method, its theoretical foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive cross sections of e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into hadrons below the center-of-mass energy of 5 GeV have been measured are presented. Some applications of the experimental results to fundamental tests of the standard model are listed.
Systematic review of involuntary hospitalisation and long-term compliance

Abstract Introduction Involuntary hospitalisation denies autonomy and freedom of decision-making and is frequent in psychiatric clinical practice. However, there is still a lack of knowledge of long-term compliance after Involuntary commitment. Methods We conducted a systematic review of published studies reporting people compliance after involuntary hospitalisation and people compliance after voluntary admission. Two investigators independently searched PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL up to December 17th, 2021 to identify eligible studies. The study is registered with PROSPERO number CRD42022299437. Results Ten independent studies analysing the main indicators of compliance, engagement with services and medication adherence, were included. Three studies show that compliance is worse in people that have been involuntary hospitalised and in the others no association is found. Just two of the ten studies show an association with improved compliance. Outcomes are assessed from the first follow-up appointment after discharge up to 96 months. Conclusions Although evidences carried out so far are weak, the data do not show a trend of improvements and do not seem to exclude the possibility of worse compliance after compulsory hospitalisation. More appropriate methodologies and reliable assessment are needed in future research to provide scientific evidence on involuntary admission health effects.
Variabilities of gamma-ray bursts from black hole hyper-accretion discs

The emission from black hole binaries (BHBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) displays significant aperiodic variabilities. The most promising explanation for these variabilities is the propagating fluctuations in the accretion flow. It is natural to expect that the mechanism driving variabilities in BHBs and AGNs may operate in a black hole hyper-accretion disk, which is believed to power gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We study the variabilities of jet power in GRBs based on the model of propagating fluctuations. It is found that the variabilities of jet power and the temporal profile of erratic spikes in this scenario are similar to those in observed light curves of prompt gamma-ray emission of GRBs. Our results show that the mechanism driving X-ray variabilities in BHBs and AGNs may operate in the central engine to drive the variabilities of GRBs.
On the Lorentzian route to Relativity

: We discuss pedagogical problems associated with the conventional approach in teaching relativity and the potential value of “Lorentzian route to relativity” for addressing these pedagogical problems. We think that Lorentzian approach may be valuable part of an introduction to relativity but the historical route should be followed up to its end. It must namely include Einstein‟s application of Occam‟s razor in reinterpreting Lorentz transformations kinematically and the discussion of the central role of the evolution from Lorentz‟s “local time” to relativity of simultaneity. We discuss also what Occam‟s razor is not and why it should not cut “too deeply or too permanently”. Some misleading remarks in relativity text books concerning for example Kennedy Thorndike experiment and Trouton-Noble experiment indicate the not uncommon lack of awareness about the degree observational equivalence between prerelativistic (Lorentzian) and relativistic viewpoints as far as special relativistic experiments are considered.
Stability of five-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes with equal angular momenta

We study the stability of five-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes with equal angular momenta which have an enlarged symmetry, U(2). Using this symmetry, we derive master equations for the metric perturbations that are relevant to the stability. Using the master equations, we prove the stability of Myers-Perry black holes under these perturbations. Our results provide evidence on the stability of Myers-Perry black holes with equal angular momenta.
Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forces

We show that the radial acceleration relation for rotationally supported galaxies may be explained, in the absence of cold dark matter, by a nonminimally coupled scalar field, whose fifth forces are partially screened on galactic scales by the symmetron mechanism. In addition, we show that sufficient energy is stored in the symmetron field to explain the dynamic stability of galactic disks.
Genome-Wide Study of Colocalization between Genomic Stretches: A Method and Applications to the Regulation of Gene Expression

Simple Summary Addressing a large number of genomic problems requires the comparison of genetic and epigenetic features distributed over the genome (genome tracks). The mutual arrangement of these features determines basic molecular mechanisms related to the dynamics of the genome architecture and gene expression. The analysis of data on the genome tracks stored in numerous databases cannot be performed without suitable bioinformatic tools. A package, the Genome Track Colocalization Analyzer, developed by the authors, is intended for the study of colocalization effects between stretch–stretch and stretch–point genome tracks. Abstract In this paper, we describe a method for the study of colocalization effects between stretch–stretch and stretch–point genome tracks based on a set of indices varying within the (–1, +1) interval. The indices combine the distances between the centers of neighboring stretches and their lengths. The extreme boundaries of the interval correspond to the complete colocalization of the genome tracks or its complete absence. We also obtained the relevant criteria of statistical significance for such indices using the complete permutation test. The method is robust with respect to strongly inhomogeneous positioning and length distribution of the genome tracks. On the basis of this approach, we created command-line software, the Genome Track Colocalization Analyzer. The software was tested, compared with other available packages, and applied to particular problems related to gene expression. The package, Genome Track Colocalization Analyzer (GTCA), is freely available to the users. GTCA complements our previous software, the Genome Track Analyzer, intended for the search for pairwise correlations between point-like genome tracks (also freely available). The corresponding details are provided in Data Availability Statement at the end of the text.
Current-induced cleaning of graphene

A simple yet highly reproducible method to suppress contamination of graphene at low temperature inside the cryostat is presented. The method consists of applying a current of several milliamperes through the graphene device, which is here typically a few microns wide. This ultrahigh current density is shown to remove contamination adsorbed on the surface. This method is well suited for quantum electron transport studies of undoped graphene devices, and its utility is demonstrated here by measuring the anomalous quantum Hall effect.
Ground-state phase diagram of the quantum J1- J2 model on the square lattice

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the quantum $J_1-J_2$ model on the square lattice by means of an entangled-plaquette variational ansatz. In the range $0\le {J_2}/{J_1} \le 1$, we find classical magnetic order of N\'eel and collinear type, for ${J_2}/{J_1}\lesssim 0.5$, and $J_2/J_1 \gtrsim 0.6$ respectively. For intermediate values of $J_2/J_1$ the ground state is a spin liquid (i.e., paramagnetic with no valence bond crystalline order). Our estimates of the entanglement entropy show that such a spin liquid is topological.
A GLOBAL STAR-FORMING EPISODE IN M31 2–4 GYR AGO

We have identified a major global enhancement of star formation in the inner M31 disk that occurred between 2–4 Gyr ago, producing ∼60% of the stellar mass formed in the past 5 Gyr. The presence of this episode in the inner disk was discovered by modeling the optical resolved star color–magnitude diagrams of low extinction regions in the main disk of M31 (3 < R < 20 kpc) as part of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury. This measurement confirms and extends recent measurements of a widespread star formation enhancement of similar age in the outer disk, suggesting that this burst was both massive and global. Following the galaxy-wide burst, the star formation rate of M31 has significantly declined. We briefly discuss possible causes for these features of the M31 evolutionary history, including interactions with M32, M33, and/or a merger.
Simulations of black-hole binaries with unequal masses or nonprecessing spins: Accuracy, physical pr

We present gravitational waveforms for the last orbits and merger of black-hole-binary systems along two branches of the black-hole-binary parameter space: equal-mass binaries with equal nonprecessing spins, and nonspinning unequal-mass binaries. The waveforms are calculated from numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for black-hole binaries that complete between six and ten orbits before merger. Along the equal-mass spinning branch, the spin parameter of each black hole isi ¼ Si=M 2 2½ � 0:85; 0:85� , and along the unequal-mass branch the mass ratio is q ¼ M2=M1 2½ 1; 4� . We discuss the construction of low-eccentricity puncture initial data for these cases, the properties of the final merged black hole, and compare the last 8-10 gravitational-wave cycles up to M! ¼ 0:1 with the phase and amplitude predicted by standard post-Newtonian (PN) approximants. As in previous studies, we find that the phase from the 3.5PN TaylorT4 approximant is most accurate for nonspinning binaries. For equal-mass spinning binaries the 3.5PN TaylorT1 approximant (including spin terms up to only 2.5PN order) gives the most robust performance, but it is possible to treat TaylorT4 in such a way that it gives the best accuracy for spins � i > � 0:75. When high-order amplitude corrections are included, the PN amplitude of the ð' ¼ 2; m ¼� 2Þ modes is larger than the numerical relativity amplitude by between 2-4%.
Large scalar multiplet dark matter in the high-mass region

We study two models of scalar dark matter from "large" electroweak multiplets with isospin 5/2 (n=6 members) and 7/2 (n=8), whose scalar potentials preserve a $Z_2$ symmetry. Because of large annihilation cross sections due to electroweak interactions, these scalars can constitute all the dark matter only for masses in the multi-TeV range. For such high masses, Sommerfeld enhancement and co-annihilations play important roles in the dark matter relic abundance calculation, reducing the upper bound on the large multiplet's mass by almost a factor of two. We determine the allowed parameter ranges including both of these effects and show that these models are as yet unconstrained by dark matter direct detection experiments, but will be probed by currently-running and proposed future experiments. We also show that a Landau pole appears in these models at energy scales below $10^9$ GeV, indicating the presence of additional new physics below that scale.
Combined CDF and D0 Upper Limits on Standard Model Higgs Boson Production with up to 8.2 fb-1 of Data

We combine results from CDF and D0's direct searches for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) produced in p-pbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The results presented here include those channels which are most sensitive to Higgs bosons with mass between 130 and 200 GeV/c^2, namely searches targeted at Higgs boson decays to W+W-, although acceptance for decays into tau+tau- and gamma gamma is included. Compared to the previous Tevatron Higgs search combination, more data have been added and the analyses have been improved to gain sensitivity. We use the MSTW08 parton distribution functions and the latest gg to H theoretical cross section predictions when testing for the presence of a SM Higgs boson. With up to 7.1 fb-1 of data analyzed at CDF, and up to 8.2 fb-1 at D0, the 95% C.L. upper limits on Higgs boson production is a factor of 0.54 times the SM cross section for a Higgs boson mass of 165 GeV/c^2. We exclude at the 95% C.L. the region 158
Dynamic Transcriptional Landscape of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) Reveals Key Transcriptional Features Involved in Fish Development

A high-quality baseline transcriptome is a valuable resource for developmental research as well as a useful reference for other studies. We gathered 41 samples representing 11 tissues/organs from 22 important developmental time points within 197 days of fertilization of grass carp eggs in order to systematically examine the role of lncRNAs and alternative splicing in fish development. We created a high-quality grass carp baseline transcriptome with a completeness of up to 93.98 percent by combining strand-specific RNA sequencing and single-molecule real-time RNA sequencing technologies, and we obtained temporal expression profiles of 33,055 genes and 77,582 transcripts during development and tissue differentiation. A family of short interspersed elements was preferentially expressed at the early stage of zygotic activation in grass carp, and its possible regulatory components were discovered through analysis. Additionally, after thoroughly analyzing alternative splicing events, we discovered that retained intron (RI) alternative splicing events change significantly in both zygotic activation and tissue differentiation. During zygotic activation, we also revealed the precise regulatory characteristics of the underlying functional RI events.
