description: Determination and characterization of criticality in two-dimensional (2D) quantum many-body systems belong to the most important challenges and problems of quantum physics. In this paper we propose an efficient scheme to solve this problem by utilizing the infinite projected entangled pair state (iPEPS), and tensor network (TN) representations. We show that the criticality of a 2D state is faithfully reproduced by the ground state (dubbed as boundary state) of a one-dimensional effective Hamiltonian constructed from its iPEPS representation. We demonstrate that for a critical state the correlation length and the entanglement spectrum of the boundary state are essentially different from those of a gapped iPEPS. This provides a solid indicator that allows to identify the criticality of the 2D state. Our scheme is verified on the resonating valence bond (RVB) states on kagomé and square lattices, where the boundary state of the honeycomb RVB is found to be described by a $c=1$ conformal field theory. We apply our scheme also to the ground state of the spin-1/2 XXZ model on honeycomb lattice, illustrating the difficulties of standard variational TN approaches to study the critical ground states. Our scheme is of high versatility and flexibility, and can be further applied to investigate the quantum criticality in many other phenomena, such as finite-temperature and topological phase transitions.

description: Presentation at the EOSC 2021 Symposium.
 The ARCHIVER project (Archiving and Preservation for Research Environments) aims to “introduce significant improvements in the area of archiving and digital preservation services, supporting the IT requirements of European scientists”. Arkivum is one of the Contractors in Phase 2 of the ARCHIVER project. This talk will present a software solution developed by Arkivum for Long Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) of scientific datasets. A prototype solution is now ready and is being tested by the ARCHIVER Buyers Group (CERN, EMBL-EBI, DESY and PIC). We will present how this solution is scalable (able to process and archive petabyte scale datasets), sustainable (economically and environmentally) and how it helps ensure the long-term access and use of datasets (FAIR and TRUST). This will include how our work in ARCHIVER could provide new services for EOSC that address some of the current gaps and weaknesses identified in the ‘FAIR forever’ report from the DPC.

description: This work focuses on distributed linear precoding when users transmit correlated information over a fading Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Multiple Access Channel. Precoders are optimized in order to minimize the sum-Mean Square Error (MSE) between the source and the estimated symbols. When sources are correlated, minimizing the sum-MSE results in a non-convex optimization problem. Precoders for an arbitrary number of users and transmit and receive antennas are thus obtained via a projected steepest-descent algorithm and a low-complexity heuristic approach. For the more restrictive case of two single-antenna users, a closed-form expression for the minimum sum-MSE precoders is derived. Moreover, for the scenario with a single receive antenna and any number of users, a solution is obtained by means of a semidefinite relaxation. Finally, we also consider precoding schemes where the precoders are decomposed into complex scalars and unit norm vectors. Simulation results show a significant improvement when source correlation is exploited at precoding, especially for low SNRs and when the number of receive antennas is lower than the number of transmitting nodes.

description: Analyses of Pleistocene fossil proboscideans have long been used as indirect evidence for climactic and environmental shifts in the Sunda shelf of Southeast Asia. Reconstructing the biological effects of rainforest expansion at the Last Glacial Maximum on elephants can be enhanced by a better understanding of fossil proboscidean palaeobiology. We studied fragmented post-cranial fossil remains of an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) from Pulau Bangka, an island to the east of Sumatra, hypothesised to be within the Late Pleistocene Sundaland savannah corridor. Bone histology of the humerus, rib, and vertebrae from the Bangka fossil were examined and compared with modern conspecifics to reconstruct remodelling. We measured secondary osteon population density, osteon area, diameter, and infill ratios in Haversian bone. Intra-skeletally, we found that the histology of the largely weight-bearing humerus indicated slower remodelling than that of the ribs and vertebrae, which are less biomechanically constrained. Inter-skeletally, the fossil rib histology showed relatively smaller osteons and Haversian canals when compared to the modern samples. Differences in lifestyles, including range-expansion, may have influenced micro-morphometric differences in elephant rib histology. Our results contribute indirect evidence of the effects of climactic variability in the Sunda palaeoenvironment on Pleistocene fauna.
Relativistic Effects and Three-Nucleon Forces in Nuclear Matter and Nuclei

description: We review a large body of predictions obtained within the framework of relativistic meson theory together with the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The success of this method has been largely related to its ability to take into account important three-body effects. Therefore, the overarching theme of this article is the interpretation of the so-called "Dirac effects" as an effective three-nucleon force. We address the equation of state of isospin symmetric and asymmetric nucleonic matter and related issues, ranging from proton and neutron density distributions to momentum distributions and short-range correlations. A central part of the discussion is devoted to the optical model potential for nucleon-nucleus scattering. We also take the opportunity to explore similarities and differences with predictions based on the increasingly popular chiral effective field theory.

description: Sactipeptide sind ribosomal synthetisierte Peptide, die eine einzigartige Verknüpfung von Schwefel und α‐Kohlenstoffen enthalten. Die Bildung von Thioetherbrücken wird in diesen Molekülen durch Sactisynthasen katalysiert. Diese spezielle Art der Verknüpfung verleiht Sactipeptiden eine erhöhte strukturelle, thermische und proteolytische Stabilität, was sie zu attraktiven Gerüsten für die Entwicklung neuer Biotherapeutika macht. In diesem Artikel berichten wir über eine Studie zur Substrattoleranz der Sactisynthase AlbA, die die Bildung von Thioetherbrücken im Sactipeptid Subtilosin A katalysiert. Wir haben eine Modifikationsstelle innerhalb dieses Sactipeptids identifiziert, die ein Peptid‐Engineering ohne Beeinträchtigung der Bildung von Thioetherbrücken ermöglicht. Eine Reihe von natürlichen und hybriden Sactipeptidkonstrukten wurde hergestellt, um die AlbA vermittelte Bildung von Thioetherbrücken zu untersuchen und diese massenspektrometrisch zu identifizieren. In einer Proof‐of‐Principle‐Studie haben wir Subtilosin A mit einer neue Funktion ausgestattet, ein Thioether‐verbrücktes Streptavidin‐bindendes Peptid generiert und damit die Tür für das funktionelle Engineering von Sactipeptiden weiter geöffnet.

description: We systematically studied the validity and transferability of effective, coarse-grained, pair potentials in ultrasoft colloidal systems. We focused on amphiphilic dendrimers, macromolecules which can aggregate into clusters of overlapping particles to minimize the contact area with the surrounding (implicit) solvent. Simulations were performed for both the monomeric and coarse-grained model in the liquid phase at densities ranging from infinite dilution up to values close to the freezing point. For every state point, each macromolecule was mapped onto a single interaction site and the effective pair potential was computed using a coarse-graining technique based on force-matching. We found excellent agreement between the spatial dendrimer distributions obtained from the coarse-grained and microscopically detailed simulations at low densities, where the macromolecules were distributed homogeneously in the system. However, the agreement deteriorated significantly when the density was increased further and the cluster occupation became more polydisperse. Under these conditions, the effective pair potential of the coarse-grained model can no longer be computed by averaging over the whole system, but the local density needs to be taken into account instead.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process involving an exchange of magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy through changes in the magnetic field topology. In many astrophysical plasmas magnetic reconnection plays a key role in the release of large amounts of energy \cite{hoshino1}, although making direct measurements is challenging in the case of high-energy astrophysical systems such as pulsar wind emissions \cite{lyubarsky1}, gamma-ray bursts \cite{thompson1}, and jets from active galactic nuclei \cite{liu1}. Therefore, laboratory studies of magnetic reconnection provide an important platform for testing theories and characterising different regimes. Here we present experimental measurements as well as numerical modeling of relativistic magnetic reconnection driven by short-pulse, high-intensity lasers that produce relativistic plasma along with extremely strong magnetic fields. Evidence of magnetic reconnection was identified by the plasma's X-ray emission patterns, changes to the electron energy spectrum, and by measuring the time over which reconnection occurs. Accessing these relativistic conditions in the laboratory allows for further investigation that may provide insight into unresolved areas in space and astro-physics.

description: We report on our study of radio source regions during the type II radio burst on 2013 May 22 based on direction finding (DF) analysis of the Wind/WAVES and STEREO/WAVES (SWAVES) radio observations at decameter-hectometric (DH) wavelengths. The type II emission showed an enhancement that coincided with interaction of two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched in sequence along closely spaced trajectories. The triangulation of the SWAVES source directions posited the ecliptic projections of the radio sources near the line connecting the Sun and the STEREO-A spacecraft. The WAVES and SWAVES source directions revealed shifts in the latitude of the radio source indicating that the spatial location of the dominant source of the type II emission varies during the CME-CME interaction. The WAVES source directions close to 1 MHz frequencies matched the location of the leading edge of the primary CME seen in the images of the LASCO/C3 coronagraph. This correspondence of spatial locations at both wavelengths confirms that the CME-CME interaction region is the source of the type II enhancement. Comparison of radio and white-light observations also showed that at lower frequencies scattering significantly affects radio wave propagation.

description: This paper presents LatentPatch, a new method for generating realistic images from a small dataset of only a few images. We use a lightweight model with only a few thousand parameters. Unlike traditional few-shot generation methods that finetune pre-trained large-scale generative models, our approach is computed directly on the latent distribution by sequential feature matching, and is explainable by design. Avoiding large models based on transformers, recursive networks, or self-attention, which are not suitable for small datasets, our method is inspired by non-parametric texture synthesis and style transfer models, and ensures that generated image features are sampled from the source distribution. We extend previous single-image models to work with a few images and demonstrate that our method can generate realistic images, as well as enable conditional sampling and image editing. We conduct experiments on face datasets and show that our simplistic model is effective and versatile.

description: This paper shows the remarkable distances that can be achieved using millimeter wave communications, and presents a new rural macrocell (RMa) path loss model for millimeter wave frequencies, based on measurements at 73 GHz in rural Virginia. Path loss models are needed to estimate signal coverage and interference for wireless network design, yet little is known about rural propagation at millimeter waves. This work identifies problems with the RMa model used by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) TR 38.900 Release 14, and offers a close-in (CI) reference distance model that has improved accuracy, fewer parameters, and better stability as compared with the existing 3GPP RMa path loss model. The measurements and models presented here are the first to validate rural millimeter wave path loss models.

At various times, from a high of a dozen to a low of two, and now we are three. The collective has consisted of a disparate group of people, covering all facets of the anarcho-movement. This has helped in keeping the correct line out of the paper and actually making it what someone once called the 'Rolling Stone of Anarchism".

description: Sactipeptides are ribosomally synthesized peptides containing a unique sulfur to α‐carbon crosslink. Catalyzed by sactisynthases, this thioether pattern endows sactipeptides with enhanced structural, thermal, and proteolytic stability, which makes them attractive scaffolds for the development of novel biotherapeutics. Herein, we report the in‐depth study on the substrate tolerance of the sactisynthase AlbA to catalyze the formation of thioether bridges in sactipeptides. We identified a possible modification site within the sactipeptide subtilosin A allowing for peptide engineering without compromising formation of thioether bridges. A panel of natural and hybrid sactipeptides was produced to study the AlbA‐mediated formation of thioether bridges, which were identified mass‐spectrometrically. In a proof‐of‐principle study, we re‐engineered subtilosin A to a thioether‐bridged, specific streptavidin targeting peptide, opening the door for the functional engineering of sactipeptides.

description: This paper considers channel estimation and achievable rates for the uplink of a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system where the base station is equipped with one-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). By rewriting the nonlinear one-bit quantization using a linear expression, we first derive a simple and insightful expression for the linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) channel estimator. Then employing this channel estimator, we derive a closed-form expression for the lower bound of the achievable rate for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC) receiver. Numerical results are presented to verify our analysis and show that our proposed LMMSE channel estimator outperforms the near maximum likelihood (nML) estimator proposed previously.

On the difference between gamma-ray-detected and non-gamma-ray-detected pulsars

description: We compare radio profile widths of young, energetic gamma-ray-detected and non-gamma-ray-detected pulsars. We find that the latter typically have wider radio profiles, with the boundary between the two samples exhibiting a dependence on the rate of rotational energy loss. We also find that within the sample of gamma-ray-detected pulsars, radio profile width is correlated with both the separation of the main gamma-ray peaks and the presence of narrow gamma-ray components. These findings lead us to propose that these pulsars form a single population where the main factors determining gamma ray detectability are the rate of rotational energy loss and the proximity of the line of sight to the rotation axis. The expected magnetic inclination angle distribution will be different for radio pulsars with and without detectable gamma rays, naturally leading to the observed differences. Our results also suggest that the geometry of existing radio and outer-magnetosphere gamma-ray emission models are at least qualitatively realistic, implying that information about the viewing geometry can be extracted from profile properties of pulsars.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται τον σχεδιασμό μίας εφήμερης παρουσίασης ενδυμάτων για την ολλανδή σχεδιάστρια υψηλής ραπτικής, Iris van Herpen, σε ένα τοπίο με ιδιαίτερη μορφολογία.
Στον οίκο της Iris van Herpen, η υψηλή ραπτική αποτελεί μια μεταμορφωτική δύναμη που ξεπερνά τα όρια και ενώνει τις διεπιστημονικές τεχνολογίες με την περίτεχνη χειροτεχνία. Οι οραματικές δημιουργίες του οίκου συνδυάζουν πρωτοποριακές τεχνικές και γεωμετρίες με πολυτελή υλικά, προκαλώντας συχνά μια αίσθηση θαυμασμού. Ο οίκος αμφισβητεί τις παραδοσιακές έννοιες του χειροποίητου ενδύματος και δημιουργεί αιθέρια ρούχα που χαρακτηρίζονται από οργανικότητα, δυναμικότητα και θηλυκότητα. Κάθε δημιουργία υποστηρίζεται από τους πυλώνες που στηρίζουν τη μάρκα - τη φύση, την αρχιτεκτονική, την τέχνη και το χορό. Κάθε συλλογή είναι μια προσπάθεια να επιχειρήσει να ξεπεράσει τον σημερινό ορισμό του ενδύματος, εξερευνώντας νέες μορφές έκφρασης για μια πιο ουσιαστική, διαφορετική και συνειδητή μόδα για το μέλλον. Η επιλογή της περιοχής οπού η συγκεκριμένη παρουσίαση ενδυμάτων σχεδιάστηκε, βασίστηκε στην ανάδειξη των φυσικών κλίσεων, γεωμετριών και υλικών της «γκρίζας» αυτής περιοχής όπου για περίπου τέσσερις δεκαετίες (από το 1937 έως το 1976) λειτούργησαν γνωστά λατομεία της Αθήνας. Πρόκειται για έναν ελεύθερο χώρο περίπου 550x330 μέτρων με έντονες υψομετρικές κλίσεις και λόφους στα όρια του με αποτέλεσμα να χαρίζει μια φυσική οργανική εσωστρέφεια. Για την συγκεκριμένη παρουσίαση ενδυμάτων, σχεδιάστηκαν τρείς διαφορετικοί χώροι όπου μοντέλα και θεατές ακολουθούν οργανικές πορείες για τους σκοπούς της εκδήλωσης. Επίσης έχει γίνει ο σχεδιασμός τοπίου της εισαγωγικής ζώνης της περιοχής επέμβασης όπου «οδηγεί» τους επισκέπτες στα επίκεντρα της παρουσίασης. Έχοντας ως αφετηρία τη συλλογή ενδυμάτων, των χαρακτηριστικών της και υπάγοντας την μέσα σε ένα τοπίο όπου αυτή αναδεικνύεται, δημιουργείται μία οργανική σχεδιαστική εμπειρία όπου αντικατοπτρίζει το όραμα του οίκου.
Impact of the Milky Way Galactic bar on stellar streams: the case of Hyades

galactic bar

description: Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the Galaxy, and are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. Recently, it has been shown that tidal streams of open clusters can now also be detected within the Milky Way disc, such as the Hyades stream. During this talk, I will present the recent results we obtain by exploring the impact that has the Galactic bar on the morphology and on the kinematics of the Hyades stream. Our results show that disc tidal streams such as Hyades provide a powerful diagnostic of the non-axisymmetric disc potential, and can in principle provide a new constraint on the pattern speed of the Galactic bar. In particular, we show how the stream-orbit misalignment for an open cluster on a quasi-circular orbit varies as a function of the position with respect to the bar resonances. I will also present the impact that the potential fluctuations of the Galactic bar pattern speed can have on disc tidal streams, and how they can be used to measure the periodicity of these fluctuations, should they exist.

description: Basing on the analogue Landau levels for a neutral particle possessing an induced electric dipole moment, we show that displaced states can be built in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. Besides, the Berry phase associated with these displaced quantum states is obtained by performing an adiabatic cyclic evolution in series of paths in parameter space.

description: Most experimentally known high-pressure ice phases have a body-centred cubic (bcc) oxygen lattice. Our large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations with a machine-learning potential indicate that, amongst these bcc ice phases, ices VII, VII′ and X are the same thermodynamic phase under different conditions, whereas superionic ice VII′′ has a first-order phase boundary with ice VII′ . Moreover, at about 300 GPa, the transformation between ice X and the Pbcm phase has a sharp structural change but no apparent activation barrier, whilst at higher pressures the barrier gradually increases. Our study thus clarifies the phase behaviour of the high-pressure ices and reveals peculiar solid–solid transition mechanisms not known in other systems.
