Authors: Argillander Joakim , Alarcón Alvaro , Bao Chunxiong , Kuang Chaoyang , Lima Gustavo , Gao Feng , Xavier Guilherme B. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe recent development of perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs) has the potential to revolutionize the fields of optical communication and lighting devices, due to their simplicity of fabrication and outstanding optical properties. Here we demonstrate that PeLEDs can also be used in the field of quantum technologies by implementing a highly-secure quantum random number generator (QRNG). Modern QRNGs that certify their privacy are posed to replace classical random number generators in applications such as encryption and gambling, and therefore need to be cheap, fast and with integration capabilities. Using a compact metal-halide PeLED source, we generate random numbers, which are certified to be secure against an eavesdropper, following the quantum measurement-device-independent scenario. The obtained generation rate of more than 10 Mbit s−1, which is already comparable to commercial devices, shows that PeLEDs can work as high-quality light sources for quantum information tasks, thus opening up future applications in quantum technologies.

Wh-adjuncts in Chinese refutatory
wh-sentences
Authors: Yin Rong , Hu Xiaoshi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The present study focuses on the refutatory
wh-sentences in Chinese. The main idea is two-fold. First, contrary to the previous accounts arguing for the interrogative nature of
refutatory sentences, we argue that refutatory wh-sentences
exclude the interrogative force and should be distinguished from rhetorical
questions accordingly. Second, we will show that all
wh-words bearing the refutatory interpretation should occur
as adjuncts, which are syntactically placed in the left periphery. Two subtypes
of refutatory wh-adjuncts, namely, propositional refutatory
wh-adjuncts and modal refutatory
wh-adjuncts, are further classified in this study. The former
is semantically akin to the pure negator bu, while the latter
semantically relates to modality.
Towards a Field-Theory based Relativistic Quantum Information
Authors: Anastopoulos Charis , Hu Bei-Lok , Savvidou Konstantina 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We present our program for the development of quantum informational concepts in relativistic systems in terms of the unequal-time correlation functions of quantum fields. We employ two formalisms that provide the basis for further developments. (i) The Quantum Temporal Probabilities (QTP) Method for quantum field measurements and (ii) the Closed-Time-Path (CTP) formalism for causal time evolutions. We present the main ideas of QTP and we show how it relates to the CTP formalism, allowing us to express concepts of measurement theory in terms of path-integrals. We also present many links of our program to non-equilibrium quantum field theories. Details can be found in a recent paper by the authors [1].
Solid State Neuroscience: Spiking Neural Networks as Time Matter
Authors: Rozenberg Marcelo 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We aim at building a bridge between to a priori disconnected fields: Neuroscience and Material Science. We construct an analogy based on identifying spikes events in time with the positions of particles of matter. We show that one may think of the dynamical states of spiking neurons and spiking neural networks as time-matter. Namely, a structure of spike-events in time having analogue properties to that of ordinary matter. We can define for neural systems notions equivalent to the equations of state, phase diagrams and their phase transitions. For instance, the familiar Ideal Gas Law relation (Pυ = constant) emerges as analogue of the Ideal Integrate and Fire neuron model relation (Iin
ISI = constant). We define the neural analogue of the spatial structure correlation function, that can characterize spiking states with temporal long-range order, such as regular tonic spiking. We also define the “neuro-compressibility” response function in analogy to the lattice compressibility. We show that similarly to the case of ordinary matter, the anomalous behavior of the neuro-compressibility is a precursor effect that signals the onset of changes in spiking states. We propose that the notion of neuro-compressibility may open the way to develop novel medical tools for the early diagnose of diseases. It may allow to predict impending anomalous neural states, such as Parkinson’s tremors, epileptic seizures, electric cardiopathies, and perhaps may even serve as a predictor of the likelihood of regaining consciousness.
Revisiting Quantum Contextuality in an Algebraic Framework.
Authors: Bossche Mathias Van Den , Grangier Philippe 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Within the framework of quantum contextuality, we discuss the ideas of extracontextuality and extravalence, that allow one to relate Kochen-Specker’s and Gleason’s theorems. We emphasize that whereas Kochen-Specker’s is essentially a no-go theorem, Gleason’s provides a mathematical justification of Born’s rule. Our extracontextual approach requires however a way to describe the “Heisenberg cut”. Following an article by John von Neumann on infinite tensor products, this can be done by noticing that the usual formalism of quantum mechanics, associated with unitary equivalence of representations, stops working when countable infinities of particles (or degrees of freedom) are encountered. This is because the dimension of the corresponding Hilbert space becomes uncountably infinite, leading to the loss of unitary equivalence, and to sectorisation. Such an intrinsically contextual approach provides a unified mathematical model including both quantum and classical physics, that appear as required incommensurable facets in the description of nature.

, related to the lattice spacing ℓ, are considered, pristine graphene, and other Dirac materials, can be used as tabletop systems where generalized commutation relations are naturally realized. Such generalized algebras of quantization, which lead to generalized versions of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, are under intense scrutiny these days, as they could manifest a fundamental length scale of spacetime. Despite the efforts and the many intriguing results, there are no experimental signatures of any generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Therefore, our results here, which tell how to use tabletop physical systems to test certain GUPs in analog experiments, should be of interest to practitioners of quantum gravity. We identify three different energy regimes that we call “layers”, where the physics is still of a Dirac type but within precisely described limits. The higher the energy, the more sensitive the Dirac system becomes to the effects of the lattice. Here such lattice plays the role of a discrete space where the Dirac quasi-particles live. With the goals just illustrated, we had to identify the mapping between the high-energy coordinates, X

Poincaré Breaking and Gauge Invariance: A Road to Emergent Gravity and New Particles
Authors: Demir Durmuş 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this talk, we discuss how gauge symmetries broken explicitly by a Poincare-breaking UV cutoff can be restored. We show that gauge symmetries can be restored by the introduction of affine curvature in reminiscence to the Higgs field. In fact, gauge symmetries get restored and general relativity emerges at the extremum of the metric-affine action. As per this point, we show emergence of the general relativity, reveal how its parameters relate to the flat spacetime loops, elucidate the new particle spectrum it brings along, and discuss its salient signatures. We show that the resulting field-theoretic plus gravitational setup can be probed via various phenomena ranging from collider experiments to black holes.
The periastron advance in curvature based Extended Gravity and Dark Energy
Authors: Capolupo Antonio , Lambiase Gaetano , Tedesco Antonio 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the context of the periastron advance as a fundamental test for gravity theories, we show an approach to deduce constraints on the sizes of the new forces arising in the weak field limit of the Extended Theories of Gravity (ETG). It is also studied the force motivated by Quintessence Fields deforming the Schwarzschild geometry and associated to the Dark Energy, responsible of the acceleration of the Universe. As for the ETG, we consider the more general Scalar-Tensor Fourth Order Gravity (STFOG) and the NonCommutative Spectral Gravity (NCSG) as a special case. The solutions of the linearized field equations provide corrections to the Newtonian potential in the Yukawa-like form

, where α is the parameter related to the strength of the potential and β to the range of the force. Quintessence Fields lead to a power-law correction with parameters related to the Dark Energy. By analysing the periastron advance with the use of the current data, we find improvements on the parameters of the gravitational models as well as on the bounds of the parameter β by several orders of magnitude.
Quantum-gravitational corrections to the power spectrum for a closed universe
Authors: Vardanyan Tatevik , Kiefer Claus 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We study the quantum-gravitational corrections to the power spectrum of a gauge-invariant inflationary scalar perturbations in a closed model of a universe. We consider canonical quantum gravity as an approach to quantizing gravity. This leads to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, which has been studied by applying a semiclassical Born–Oppenheimer type of approximation. At the corresponding orders of approximation, we recover both the uncorrected and quantum-gravitationally corrected Schrödinger equations for the perturbation modes from which we calculate the quantum-gravitational corrections to the power spectrum in the slow-roll regime. The results are compared to the power spectra for the flat model of the universe.
On a Reformulation of Bohmian Mechanics Including Open Dissipative Systems
Authors: Schuch Dieter , Bonilla–Licea Moise 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In Bohmian mechanics it is assumed that quantum objects are particles that follow real physical paths. These Bohmian trajectories are obtained by integrating the velocity field that occurs in the continuity equation. However, in the course of deriving these trajectories, the independent position variable x, appearing in the velocity field, is arbtirarily replaced by the time-dependent trajectory q(t). We show under which restrictions such a replacement can be justified, leading to a totally different interpretation of the Bohmian trajectories. They are not real paths of physical particles but borders of regions of constant probability, so-called quantiles, and therefore must be seen in the context of descriptive statistics. Thus they provide a tool complementary to the conventional statistical formulation of quantum mechanics. A possible extension to include open dissipative systems is also discussed, showing that the inclusion of an environment does not change our interpretation of the Bohmian trajectories.
Axion like particles, fifth force and neutron interferometry
Authors: Capolupo Antonio , Giampaolo Salvatore Marco , Quaranta Aniello 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We report on recent result according to which the fermion-fermion interaction mediated by axions and axion–like particles can be revealed by means of neutron interferometry. We assume that the initial neutron beam is split in two beams which are affected by differently oriented magnetic fields, in order that the phase difference depends only by the axion–induced interaction. In this way, the phase difference is directly related to the presence of axions.
Outdoor I-V characterization of tilted and vertical bifacial PV modules
Authors: García M A , Quispe G R , Zamudio M A , Conde L A , Angulo J R , Berastain A E , Töfflinger J A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This work proposes an experimental method to characterize bifacial photovoltaic modules through outdoor current-voltage (I-V) measurements. This characterization is an extension of methods developed for monofacial modules by considering the IEC TS 60904-1-2 standard for bifacial modules, particularly the introduction of the equivalent irradiance that accounts for albedo and bifaciality. We extract the short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and maximum power from the module I-V characteristic curve under outdoor conditions. We extrapolate these parameters to standard test conditions using the measured equivalent irradiance and module temperature. This method is applied on bifacial modules in two mounting orientations: 15° tilt north-oriented and vertical east-west orientation. Characterizing the bifacial modules’ electrical parameters using the proposed approach yields results with similar accuracy as applying the equivalent characterization of a tilted monofacial module.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the present work, the monitoring of a grid-connected photovoltaic system of 3.7kW of installed power based on an Internet of Things (IoT) solution is designed and implemented, the monitoring system is implemented in a real facility located in Juliaca, Peru. IoT-based monitoring integrates the data acquisition system (DAQ) of the photovoltaic system, complementing the existing local monitoring with a flexible architecture capable of connecting to different devices and communication environments. The DAQ connects to the IoT-based monitoring system via open-source software, and Microsoft cloud services are also used to visualize the data in real time, as well as to store it. The proposed solution overcomes the challenges faced by a monitoring system of a conventional photovoltaic installation at a low cost.
A Reinforcement Learning approach to the Optimal Torque MPPT problem in wind turbines
Authors: Choquehuanca E , Ortega A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this work, a torque controller for a variable rotational speed wind turbine has been modelled using Reinforcement Learning and considering the Optimal Torque - Maximum Power Point Tracking problem as one of optimization. The reward optimization function is designed as a non-linear function depending mainly on the rotor power variation. Based on this, an optimal action (electromagnetic torque variation) regulates the turbine rotational speed. A simulated 1.5 MW three bladed wind turbine operation is managed by the torque controller. It keeps the turbine working at optimal operational conditions after a successful training process, which is carried out using the Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm. For the controller training, the turbine confronts constant and then randomly staggered wind speed behaviour. Time series of rotor angular speed, torque and power are presented. Our results show that the modelled controller is able to reach and maintain the wind turbine operation at its optimal power generation conditions. This methodology avoids using some empirical parameter characteristic of the Optimal Torque - Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm widely used in wind turbine control systems.
Dynamic response assessment of an offshore wind turbine under Peruvian environmental conditions
Authors: Barreto D , Ortega A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a dynamic response analysis of an offshore monopile wind turbine to be deployed at a near-shore area in the south-centre part of the Peruvian coast (Marcona). It is a 5 MW three bladed wind turbine that operates in an aggressive offshore environment described by its stochastic behaviour. Thus it is necessary to use a statistical approach for its characterization. The operating wind turbine is simulated using an aero-hydro-servo-elastic computational tool (FAST) that allows the simulation of coupled systems. After the simulation, this work analyses relevant dynamic responses (thrust, torque, shear forces, and bending moments). Time series of these responses at critical zones of the wind turbine are presented. The results indicate high variability of the responses and critical fluctuations located at the mudline. It is found that this variability is due to the additional dynamic loads coming from the ocean waves. This is a big issue to consider when designing a monopile offshore wind turbine operating under the Peruvian environmental conditions.
Adaptation as Emancipation in Edward Albee’s Lolita
Authors: Holtz Martin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Edward Albee’s stage adaptation (1981) of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita (1955) is universally regarded as an unqualified failure. This contribution seeks to recover the play from critical neglect by arguing that it not just productively interprets and transforms the source text but also critically comments on its implications regarding the relationship between artist and creation, audience and art, and ethics and aesthetics. The play features an anthropomorphised equivalent to the novel’s implied author in the character of ‘A Certain Gentleman’ (ACG), a figure uniting features of (imagined) Nabokov and Albee, who introduces himself to the audience as the creator of Humbert and guides them through the plot while commenting on the action, alternatively trying to distance himself from his creation, trying to teach him moral values, or admonishing the audience to show empathy. In the interplay of Humbert, Lolita, and ACG, the play stages an emancipatory dialogue between artist and creation, using the presentational character of (epic) theatre to level diegetic hierarchies. Just as Lolita emancipates itself from Nabokov in the act of adaptation, so Humbert emancipates himself from ACG and Lolita from Humbert. In the same way, the play encourages an emancipation on the part of the audience from a position of passive spectatorship by cultivating a critical engagement with the discordant discourses of theatrical narration, presentation, and spectatorship in a dialogic of identification and distance.

Abstract

Objectives
The practicing pathologist is challenged by the ever-increasing diagnostic complexity of myeloid neoplasms. This guide is intended to provide a general roadmap from initial case detection, often triggered by complete blood count results with subsequent blood smear review, to final diagnosis.

Methods
The integration of hematologic, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic features into routine practice is standard of care. The requirement for molecular genetic testing has increased along with the complexity of test types, the utility of different testing modalities in identifying key gene mutations, and the sensitivity and turnaround time for various assays.

Results
Classification systems for myeloid neoplasms have evolved to achieve the goal of providing a pathology diagnosis that enhances patient care, outcome prediction, and treatment options for individual patients and is formulated, endorsed, and adopted by hematologists/oncologists.

Conclusions
This guide provides diagnostic strategies for all myeloid neoplasm subtypes. Special considerations are provided for each category of testing and neoplasm category, along with classification information, genetic testing requirements, interpretation information, and case reporting recommendations based on the experience of 11 Bone Marrow Pathology Group members.
Immortal Time Bias With Time-Varying Exposures in Environmental Epidemiology: A Case Study in Lung Cancer Survival
Authors: Sheridan Paige , Chen Chen , Thompson Caroline A , Benmarhnia Tarik 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Immortal time bias is a well-recognized bias in clinical epidemiology but is rarely discussed in environmental epidemiology. Under the target trial framework, this bias is formally conceptualized as a misalignment between the start of study follow-up (time 0) and treatment assignment. This misalignment can occur when attained duration of follow-up is encoded into treatment assignment using minimums, maximums, or averages. The bias can be exacerbated in the presence of time trends commonly found in environmental exposures. Using lung cancer cases from the California Cancer Registry (2000–2010) linked with estimated concentrations of particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), we replicated previous studies that averaged PM2.5 exposure over follow-up in a time-to-event model. We compared this approach with one that ensures alignment between time 0 and treatment assignment, a discrete-time approach. In the former approach, the estimated overall hazard ratio for a 5-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was 1.38 (95% confidence interval: 1.36, 1.40). Under the discrete-time approach, the estimated pooled odds ratio was 0.99 (95% confidence interval: 0.98, 1.00). We conclude that the strong estimated effect in the former approach was likely driven by immortal time bias, due to misalignment at time 0. Our findings highlight the importance of appropriately conceptualizing a time-varying environmental exposure under the target trial framework to avoid introducing preventable systematic errors.
