description: Many interesting experimental systems, such as cavity QED or central spin models, involve global coupling to a single harmonic mode. Out-of-equilibrium, it remains unclear under what conditions localized phases survive such global coupling. We study energy-dependent localization in the disordered Ising model with transverse and longitudinal fields coupled globally to a $d$-level system (qudit). Strikingly, we discover an inverted mobility edge, where high energy states are localized while low energy states are delocalized. Our results are supported by shift-and-invert eigenstate targeting and Krylov time evolution up to $L=13$ and $18$ respectively. We argue for a critical energy of the localization phase transition which scales as $E_c \propto L^{1/2}$, consistent with finite size numerics. We also show evidence for a reentrant MBL phase at even lower energies despite the presence of strong effects of the central mode in this regime. Similar results should occur in the central spin-$S$ problem at large $S$ and in certain models of cavity QED.

description: In this work we present our expert system of Automatic reading or speech synthesis based on a text written in Standard Arabic, our work is carried out in two great stages: the creation of the sound data base, and the transformation of the written text into speech (Text To Speech TTS). This transformation is done firstly by a Phonetic Orthographical Transcription (POT) of any written Standard Arabic text with the aim of transforming it into his corresponding phonetics sequence, and secondly by the generation of the voice signal which corresponds to the chain transcribed. We spread out the different of conception of the system, as well as the results obtained compared to others works studied to realize TTS based on Standard Arabic.

description: A large class of explicit hyperbolic monopole solutions can be obtained from JNR instanton data, if the curvature of hyperbolic space is suitably tuned. Here we provide explicit formulae for both the monopole spectral curve and its rational map in terms of JNR data. Examples with platonic symmetry are presented, together with some one-parameter families with cyclic and dihedral symmetries. These families include hyperbolic analogues of geodesics that describe symmetric monopole scatterings in Euclidean space and we illustrate the results with energy density isosurfaces. There is a metric on the moduli space of hyperbolic monopoles, defined using the abelian connection on the boundary of hyperbolic space, and we provide a simple integral formula for this metric on the space of JNR data.

description: The purpose of the thesis is to study the provisions of the law on domestic violence and in particular the legal status and defense of the perpetrator in the courts. A detailed reference is made to the core definitions of the law, such as the notion of the family in the narrow and broad sense of the term as well as to the underage cohabitants. Next, the legal criminal provisions are listed and a comparative reference is made along with the corresponding ones of the common criminal law. Additionally, the innovative institution of criminal mediation between the perpetrator and the victim is presented as a means of out-of-court conflict-resolution. Finally, the criminal treatment of the perpetrator of domestic violence, as well as his defense in the courts of law, are mentioned in detail.

description: A modelling framework suitable for detecting shape shifts in functional profiles combining the notion of Fréchet mean and the concept of deformation models is developed and proposed. The generalized mean sense offered by the Fréchet mean notion is employed to capture the typical pattern of the profiles under study, while the concept of deformation models, and in particular of the shape invariant model, allows for interpretable parameterizations of profile's deviations from the typical shape. EWMA-type control charts compatible with the functional nature of data and the employed deformation model are built and proposed, exploiting certain shape characteristics of the profiles under study with respect to the generalized mean sense, allowing for the identification of potential shifts concerning the shape and/or the deformation process. Potential shifts in the shape deformation process, are further distinguished to significant shifts with respect to amplitude and/or the phase of the profile under study. The proposed modelling and shift detection framework is implemented to a real world case study, where daily concentration profiles concerning air pollutants from an area in the city of Athens are modelled, while profiles indicating hazardous concentration levels are successfully identified in most of the cases.

description: We first construct a counterexample of a generic quadratic submanifold of codimension $5$ in $\Bbb C^9$ which admits a real analytic infinitesimal CR automorphism with homogeneous polynomial coefficients of degree $4.$ This example also resolves a question in the Tanaka prolongation theory that was open for more than 50 years. Then we give sufficient conditions to generate more counterexamples to the $2-$jet determination Chern-Moser Theorem in higher codimension. In particular, we construct examples of generic quadratic submanifolds with jet determination of arbitrarily high order.

description: We present a method to infer reddenings and distances to stars, based only on their broad-band photometry, and show how this method can be used to produce a three-dimensional dust map of the Galaxy. Our method samples from the full probability density function of distance, reddening and stellar type for individual stars, as well as the full uncertainty in reddening as a function of distance in the 3D dust map. We incorporate prior knowledge of the distribution of stars in the Galaxy and the detection limits of the survey. For stars in the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) 3 pi survey, we demonstrate that our reddening estimates are unbiased, and accurate to ~0.13 mag in E(B-V) for the typical star. Based on comparisons with mock catalogs, we expect distances for main-sequence stars to be constrained to within ~20% - 60%, although this range can vary, depending on the reddening of the star, the precise stellar type and its position on the sky. A further paper will present a 3D map of dust over the three quarters of the sky surveyed by PS1. Both the individual stellar inferences and the 3D dust map will enable a wealth of Galactic science in the plane. The method we present is not limited to the passbands of the PS1 survey, but may be extended to incorporate photometry from other surveys, such as 2MASS, SDSS (where available), and in the future, LSST and Gaia.

description: UNLABELLED: The National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) has revised the UK guideline for the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women, and men age 50 years and older. Accredited by NICE, this guideline is relevant for all healthcare professionals involved in osteoporosis management. INTRODUCTION: The UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) first produced a guideline on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in 2008, with updates in 2013 and 2017. This paper presents a major update of the guideline, the scope of which is to review the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women, and men age 50 years and older. METHODS: Where available, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials were used to provide the evidence base. Conclusions and recommendations were systematically graded according to the strength of the available evidence. RESULTS: Review of the evidence and recommendations are provided for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, fracture-risk assessment and intervention thresholds, management of vertebral fractures, non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments, including duration and monitoring of anti-resorptive therapy, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, and models of care for fracture prevention. Recommendations are made for training; service leads and commissioners of healthcare; and for review criteria for audit and quality improvement. CONCLUSION: The guideline, which has received accreditation from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE), provides a comprehensive overview of the assessment and management of osteoporosis for all healthcare professionals involved in its management. This position paper has been endorsed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation and by the European Society for the Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases.
Multi-Input Inner Product Encryption: Function-hiding instantiations without Random Oracles
Creators: name: Vanjani, Nikhil
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Theoretical Computer Science

description: In a Multi-Input Functional Encryption (MIFE) scheme, n clients each obtain a secret encryption key from a trusted authority. Each client i can encrypt its data using its secret key. The authority can use its master secret key to compute a functional key given a function f, and the functional key can be applied to a collection of n clients’ ciphertexts, resulting in the outcome of f on the clients’ data. If an MIFE scheme hides not only the clients’ data but also the function f, we say it is function hiding. In this work, we study function-hiding security of two variants of MIFE for inner-product computations. Multi-Client Functional Encryption (MCFE) is a strengthening of MIFE where clients associate their encrypted data with some time step t and the outcome of f can be computed only on ciphertexts encrypted to the same time step. Although MCFE for inner-product computation has been extensively studied, most earlier works on MCFE do not achieve function privacy. The recent work by Agrawal et al. showed how to construct a function-hiding MCFE for inner-product from standard assumptions and the existence of a random oracle. An intriguing open question is whether we can achieve the same without random oracles. In this work, we are the first to show such a function-hiding MCFE for inner products, relying on the standard Decisional Linear assumption. Our main technical contribution is a new upgrade from single input functional encryption for inner-products to a multi client one; and, if the single-input scheme is function-hiding, so is the resulting multi-client scheme. Ad Hoc MIFE (AMIFE) is a decentralized version of MIFE. In AMIFE, the users can jointly decide in a decentralized way what function they would allow to be evaluated on their joint data. The aforementioned work by Agrawal et al. also showed how to construct a function-hiding AMIFE scheme for inner-products, relying on standard bilinear group assumptions, and without random oracles. We construct a new AMIFE scheme that provides the same security guarantees as this earlier work but our construction provides a nicer abstraction making the scheme and the security proofs conceptually simpler.

description: The comment [1, arXiv:1308.5573] raises two points in regard to our work [2, arXiv:1207.0230]. The first is that one cannot use the tunneling picture to obtain the temperature and particle production rate in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time. The second comment raised by [1] is that the Hawking-like radiation model for inflation presented in [2,3] is inconsistent with the observed scalar and tensor perturbation spectrum. We show that the first comment is beside the point -- we do not use the tunneling method in our works [2,3]. The second criticism in [1] comes from the author evaluating quantities at different times -- he evaluates the parameters of our model at the ``beginning'' of inflation and then compares this with the scalar and tensor perturbations evaluated at ``the horizon exit'' point.

description: In a recent seminal work, Bitansky and Shmueli (STOC '20) gave the first construction of a constant round zero-knowledge argument for NP secure against quantum attacks. However, their construction has several drawbacks compared to the classical counterparts. Specifically, their construction only achieves computational soundness, requires strong assumptions of quantum hardness of learning with errors (QLWE assumption) and the existence of quantum fully homomorphic encryption (QFHE), and relies on non-black-box simulation. In this paper, we resolve these issues at the cost of weakening the notion of zero-knowledge to what is called $ε$-zero-knowledge. Concretely, we construct the following protocols: - We construct a constant round interactive proof for NP that satisfies statistical soundness and black-box $ε$-zero-knowledge against quantum attacks assuming the existence of collapsing hash functions, which is a quantum counterpart of collision-resistant hash functions. Interestingly, this construction is just an adapted version of the classical protocol by Goldreich and Kahan (JoC '96) though the proof of $ε$-zero-knowledge property against quantum adversaries requires novel ideas. - We construct a constant round interactive argument for NP that satisfies computational soundness and black-box $ε$-zero-knowledge against quantum attacks only assuming the existence of post-quantum one-way functions. At the heart of our results is a new quantum rewinding technique that enables a simulator to extract a committed message of a malicious verifier while simulating verifier's internal state in an appropriate sense.

description: Bounding is one of the important gaits in quadrupedal locomotion for negotiating obstacles. The authors proposed an effective approach that can learn robust bounding gaits more efficiently despite its large variation in dynamic body movements. The authors first pretrained the neural network (NN) based on data from a robot operated by conventional model based controllers, and then further optimised the pretrained NN via deep reinforcement learning (DRL). In particular, the authors designed a reward function considering contact points and phases to enforce the gait symmetry and periodicity, which improved the bounding performance. The NN based feedback controller was learned in the simulation and directly deployed on the real quadruped robot Jueying Mini successfully. A variety of environments are presented both indoors and outdoors with the authors approach. The authors approach shows efficient computing and good locomotion results by the Jueying Mini quadrupedal robot bounding over uneven terrain.

description: In recent years, scientific interest has focused on the design of prevention and intervention programs that ensure a high level of health care delivery. Among these points of utmost importance are incidents of violence and aggression in Emergency Departments (EDs). In fact, the literature confirms that in ICUs, the highest incidences of violence from patients towards health personnel and especially nurses occur. A large volume of literature has since tried to interpret the above phenomenon in the context of the social, psychological and medical spheres. This work aims to describe the phenomenon based on the bibliographic data from the perspective of the nursing profession. At the first level, the main direction of the work concerning violence is analyzed and information is given on the historical development of the concept, the difficulty of defining it and the categorization proposed by researchers. Then, the theoretical background focused on the description of the phenomenon is analyzed, with results from bibliographic research. Next is the citation of an incident of violence in the TEP, from which the main axes of commenting on the attitude of nurses and patients as well as the effects of the phenomenon are raised. The paper ends with a clear reference to the ways of improvement in order to reduce violence in TEPs

description: The following work attempts to trace the complex issue of violence of any form against women in the Republic of Cyprus and to present the reaction of the state through the coordinated state powers and the voluntary action to address the problem. In this context, the particular circumstances that favored the genesis and increase of incidents of abusive behavior are examined, as well as the peculiarities of the Cypriot legal system. The main legislative interventions are listed, from the first steps of prevention, investigation and punishment of all forms of violence to the establishment of the crime of femicide and the concerns that arise from the effort to apply the law. The need for harmonization with the Istanbul Convention and the issues of principle governing the administration of justice in Cyprus are presented through the dialogue developed during the evaluation of the Committee of Experts of the Council of Europe. The selective reference to case law of the ECtHR and the Supreme Court of Cyprus aims to highlight the contribution of judicial bodies to the general social effort to address gender-based violence

description: It is well known that uniform resolvent estimates imply spectral cluster estimates. We show that the converse is also true in some cases. In particular, the universal spectral cluster estimates of Sogge \cite{MR930395} for the Laplace--Beltrami operator on compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary directly imply the uniform Sobolev inequality of Dos Santos Ferreira, Kenig and Salo \cite{MR3200351}, without any reference to parametrices. This observation also yields new resolvent estimates for manifolds with boundary or with nonsmooth metrics, based on spectral cluster bounds of Smith--Sogge \cite{MR2316270} and Smith, Koch and Tataru \cite{MR2443996}, respectively. We also convert the recent spectral cluster bounds of Canzani and Galkowski \cite{Canzani--Galkowski} to improved resolvent bounds. Moreover, we show that the resolvent estimates are stable under perturbations and use this to establish uniform Sobolev and spectral cluster inequalities for Schrödinger operators with singular potentials.

description: This paper investigates applicability of thermodynamic concepts and principles to competitive systems. We show that Tsallis entropies are suitable for characterisation of systems with transitive competition when mutations deviate from Gibbs mutations. Different types of equilibrium in competitive systems are considered and analysed. As competition rules become more and more intransitive, thermodynamic analogies are eroded and the behaviour of the system can become complex. This work analyses the phenomenon of punctuated evolution in the context of the competitive risk/benefit dilemma.

description: The CMS beam and radiation monitoring subsystem BCM1F (Fast Beam Condition Monitor) consists of 8 individual diamond sensors situated around the beam pipe within the pixel detector volume, for the purpose of fast bunch-by-bunch monitoring of beam background and collision products. In addition, effort is ongoing to use BCM1F as an online luminosity monitor. BCM1F will be running whenever there is beam in LHC, and its data acquisition is independent from the data acquisition of the CMS detector, hence it delivers luminosity even when CMS is not taking data. A report is given on the performance of BCM1F during LHC run I, including results of the van der Meer scan and on-line luminosity monitoring done in 2012. In order to match the requirements due to higher luminosity and 25 ns bunch spacing, several changes to the system must be implemented during the upcoming shutdown, including upgraded electronics and precise gain monitoring. First results from Run II preparation are shown.

description: Ο βασικός στόχος της συγκεκριμένης διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να καταστήσει κατανοητό στον αναγνώστη το φαινόμενο της κακοποίησης των γυναικών και την νομοθετική πορεία που έχει πάρει ανά τα χρόνια. Θα γίνει νομοθετική σύγκριση- με αναφορές στα σημαντικότερα σημεία των Νόμων που είχαν θεσπιστεί, ενώ δεν θα εκκλείψει και η Νομολογία. Στη συνέχεια, σκιαγραφείται η γυναίκα που υφίσταται τη κακοποίηση- γίνεται αναφορά στις επιπτώσεις που έχει η κακοποίηση αυτή, και τα είδη της πρόληψης που μπορούν να παρθούν απο την Ελληνική Πολιτεία. Ο κρίσιμος ρόλος που έχει ο/η Δικηγόρος είναι κάτι που καθίσταται σαφές, καθώς η συγγραφέας αναλύει τα δικονομικά δικαιώματα του θύτη και του θύματος, με έμφαση στο τελευταίο, εντός και εκτός της Δικαστικής αίθουσας. Συμπερασματικά, καταδεικνύεται η ανάγκη θέσπισης αυστηρότερων ποινών, για την ουσιαστικότερη προστασία των θυμάτων γυναικείας κακοποίησης
description: The main goal of this particular dissertation is to make understandable to the reader the phenomenon of women abuse, and also the legislative course that has gotten over the years. The Laws will be compared, with references to the most important points of the Laws that had been enacted -while the jurisprudence will not be eclipsed. Furthermore, the woman who suffers the abuse is been outlined- reference is also made to the consequences of this abuse, and the types of prevention that can be taken by the Greek State. The very important role that the Lawyer has is it is something that is been made clear, as the author analyses the procedural rights of the perpetrator and the victim, with an emphasis on the latter, inside and outside the Courtroom. In conclusion, it is been demonstrated the need to introduce harsher penalties- in order to protect more effectively the victims of female abuse

description: We report the Suzaku/XIS results of the Galactic oxygen-rich supernova remnant (SNR), G292.0+1.8, a remnant of a core-collapse supernova. The X-ray spectrum of G292.0+1.8 consists of two type plasmas, one is in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) and the other is in non-equilibrium ionization (NEI). The CIE plasma has nearly solar abundances, and hence would be originated from the circumstellar and interstellar mediums. The NEI plasma has super-solar abundances, and the abundance pattern indicates that the plasma originates from the supernova ejecta with a main sequence of 30-35 Msolar. Iron K-shell line at energy of 6.6 keV is detected for the first time in the NEI plasma.

description: The diffusion of innovations theory has been studied for years. Previous research efforts mainly focus on key elements, adopter categories, and the process of innovation diffusion. However, most of them only consider single innovations. With the development of modern technology, recurrent innovations gradually come into vogue. In order to reveal the characteristics of recurrent innovations, we present the first large-scale analysis of the adoption of recurrent innovations in the context of mobile app updates. Our analysis reveals the adoption behavior and new adopter categories of recurrent innovations as well as the features that have impact on the process of adoption.

description: With the popularity of mobile devices, mobile applications have become an essential part of people's lives. To provide secure mobile application download channels for users, various modern app markets are maintained by different companies. For example, Google maintains Google Play for Android users, while Apple maintains App Store for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS users. Though app markets have come up with strict policies which impose restrictions on developers to avoid the potential harmful applications, we still have quite limited knowledge on the process of app vetting and the status of potential harmful apps. To fill this gap, this paper takes the initiative to conduct a large-scale and longitudinal study of removed apps in the iOS app store. Our analysis reveals that although most of the removed apps are low-quality apps, a number of them are quite popular. Furthermore, the mis-behaviors of these apps are reflected on app metadata, which makes it possible to distinguish potential harmful apps.

description: Deep semi-supervised learning is a fast-growing field with a range of practical applications. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on both fundamentals and recent advances in deep semi-supervised learning methods from perspectives of model design and unsupervised loss functions. We first present a taxonomy for deep semi-supervised learning that categorizes existing methods, including deep generative methods, consistency regularization methods, graph-based methods, pseudo-labeling methods, and hybrid methods. Then we provide a comprehensive review of 52 representative methods and offer a detailed comparison of these methods in terms of the type of losses, contributions, and architecture differences. In addition to the progress in the past few years, we further discuss some shortcomings of existing methods and provide some tentative heuristic solutions for solving these open problems.

description: Three billion years after the big bang (at redshift z=2), half of the most massive galaxies were already old, quiescent systems with little to no residual star formation and extremely compact with stellar mass densities at least an order of magnitude larger than in low redshift ellipticals, their descendants. Little is known about how they formed, but their evolved, dense stellar populations suggest formation within intense, compact starbursts 1-2 Gyr earlier (at 3

description: An (additive) functor F from an additive category A to an additive category B is said to be objective, provided any morphism f in A with F(f) = 0 factors through an object K with F(K) = 0. In this paper we concentrate on triangle functors between triangulated categories. The first aim of this paper is to characterize objective triangle functors F in several ways. Second, we are interested in the corresponding Verdier quotient functors V_F, in particular we want do know under what conditions V_F is full. The third question to be considered concerns the possibility to factorize a given triangle functor F = F_2F_1 with F_1 a full and dense triangle functor and F_2 a faithful triangle functor. It turns our that the behaviour of splitting monomorphisms (and splitting epimorphisms) plays a decisive role.

description: This paper presents an overview of Monte Carlo(MC) event generators for simulation of proton-proton collisions along with the results on hadron production at Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) energies. Namely, mean multiplicities, mean transverse momenta, and rapidity distributions of p($\bar{\rm p}$), $π^{\pm}$, $\mathrm{K}^{\pm}$ at different collision energies are presented. We also study two-particle angular correlations for stable charged particles. Results of simulations with \pythia, \epos, and \urqmd event generators are compared to available data. Connections of studied quantities with physics mechanisms in MC generators are discussed. We suggest a tuned set of parameters to address observed discrepancies between data and \pythia.

description: This research proposes a computation approach to address the evaluation of end product machining accuracy in elliptical surfaced helical pipe bending using 6dof parallel manipulator as a pipe bender. The target end product is wearable metal muscle supporters used in build-to-order welfare product manufacturing. This paper proposes a product testing model that mainly corrects the surface direction estimation errors of existing least squares ellipse fittings, followed by arc length and central angle evaluations. This post-machining modelling requires combination of reverse rotations and translations to a specific location before accuracy evaluation takes place, i.e. the reverse comparing to pre-machining product modelling. This specific location not only allows us to compute surface direction but also the amount of excessive surface twisting as a rotation angle about a specified axis, i.e. quantification of surface torsion. At first we experimented three ellipse fitting methods such as, two least-squares fitting methods with Bookstein constraint and Trace constraint, and one non- linear least squares method using Gauss-Newton algorithm. From fitting results, we found that using Trace constraint is more reliable and designed a correction filter for surface torsion observation. Finally we apply 2D total least squares line fitting method with a rectification filter for surface direction detection.

description: New ways of working such as globally distributed development or the integration of self-motivated external developers into software ecosystems will require a better and more comprehensive understanding of developers' feelings, perceptions, motivations and identification with their tasks in their respective project environments. User experience is a concept that captures how persons feel about products, systems and services. It evolved from disciplines such as interaction design and usability to a much richer scope that includes feelings, motivations, and satisfaction. Similarly, developer experience could be defined as a means for capturing how developers think and feel about their activities within their working environments, with the assumption that an improvement of the developer experience has positive impacts on characteristics such as sustained team and project performance. This article motivates the importance of developer experience, sketches related approaches from other domains, proposes a definition of developer experience that is derived from similar concepts in other domains, describes an ongoing empirical study to better understand developer experience, and finally gives an outlook on planned future research activities.

Expanded atmospheres and winds in Type I X-ray bursts from accreting neutron stars

description: We calculate steady-state models of radiation-driven super-Eddington winds and static expanded envelopes of neutron stars caused by high luminosities in type I X-ray bursts. We use flux-limited diffusion to model the transition from optically thick to optically thin, and include effects of general relativity, allowing us to study the photospheric radius close to the star as the hydrostatic atmosphere evolves into a wind. We find that the photospheric radius evolves monotonically from static envelopes ($r_{\rm ph}\lesssim 50-70$ km) to winds ($r_{\rm ph}\approx 100-1000$ km). Photospheric radii of less than $100$ km, as observed in most photospheric radius expansion bursts, can be explained by static envelopes, but only in a narrow range of luminosity. In most bursts, we would expect the luminosity to increase further, leading to a wind with photospheric radius $\gtrsim 100$ km. In the contraction phase, the expanded envelope solutions show that the photosphere is still $\approx 1$ km above the surface when the effective temperature is only $3\%$ away from its maximum value. This is a possible systematic uncertainty when interpreting the measured Eddington fluxes from bursts at touchdown. We also discuss the applicability of steady-state models to describe the dynamics of bursts. In particular, we show that the sub to super-Eddington transition during the burst rise is rapid enough that static models are not appropriate. Finally, we analyze the strength of spectral shifts in our models. Expected shifts at the photosphere are dominated by gravitational redshift, and are therefore predicted to be less than a few percent.

description: We show that the low ratios of $α$ elements (Mg, Si, and Ca) to Fe recently found for a small fraction of extremely metal-poor stars can be naturally explained with the nucleosynthesis yields of core-collapse supernovae, i.e., $13-25M_\odot$ supernovae, or hypernovae. For the case without carbon enhancement, the ejected iron mass is normal, consistent with observed light curves and spectra of nearby supernovae. On the other hand, the carbon enhancement requires much smaller iron production, and the low [$α$/Fe] of carbon enhanced metal-poor stars can also be reproduced with $13-25M_\odot$ faint supernovae or faint hypernovae. Iron-peak element abundances, in particular Zn abundances, are important to put further constraints on the enrichment sources from galactic archaeology surveys.
