description: In this theoretical investigation, we study the effectiveness of a protocol that incorporates periodic quantum resetting to prepare ground states of frustration-free parent Hamiltonians. This protocol uses a steering Hamiltonian that enables local coupling between the system and ancillary degrees of freedom. At periodic intervals, the ancillary system is reset to its initial state. For infinitesimally short reset times, the dynamics can be approximated by a Lindbladian whose steady state is the target state. For finite reset times, however, the spin chain and the ancilla become entangled between reset operations. To evaluate the performance of the protocol, we employ Matrix Product State simulations and quantum trajectory techniques, focusing on the preparation of the spin-1 Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki state. Our analysis considers convergence time, fidelity, and energy evolution under different reset intervals. Our numerical results show that ancilla system entanglement is essential for faster convergence. In particular, there exists an optimal reset time at which the protocol performs best. Using a simple approximation, we provide insights into how to optimally choose the mapping operators applied to the system during the reset procedure. Furthermore, the protocol shows remarkable resilience to small deviations in reset time and dephasing noise. Our study suggests that stroboscopic maps using quantum resetting may offer advantages over alternative methods, such as quantum reservoir engineering and quantum state steering protocols, which rely on Markovian dynamics.

description: The speed-dependent spectral line profiles collapse into a simple Lorentz profile in the regime dominated by the velocity-changing collisions. We derive general formulas for the effective width and shift of the Lorentzian for arbitrary speed-dependent collisional broadening and shift and velocity-changing collision operators. For a quadratic speed dependence of collisional broadening and shift, and the billiard ball model of velocity-changing collisions, we provide simple analytical expressions for the effective Lorentzian width and shift. We show that the effective Lorentzian width and shift split into components originating from the: well-known Dicke-narrowed Doppler width, speed-averaged collisional broadening and shift, their speed dependencies, and a product term that mixes the contributions of the broadening and shift speed dependencies. We show how the components depend on rates of speed-changing and velocity-changing collisions related to the perturber/absorber mass ratio. We validate analytical formulas numerically on example of H$_{2}$ transition perturbed by He.

description: We study classical shadows protocols based on randomized measurements in $n$-qubit entangled bases, generalizing the random Pauli measurement protocol ($n = 1$). We show that entangled measurements ($n\geq 2$) enable nontrivial and potentially advantageous trade-offs in the sample complexity of learning Pauli expectation values. This is sharply illustrated by shadows based on two-qubit Bell measurements: the scaling of sample complexity with Pauli weight $k$ improves quadratically (from $\sim 3^k$ down to $\sim 3^{k/2}$) for many operators, while others become impossible to learn. Tuning the amount of entanglement in the measurement bases defines a family of protocols that interpolate between Pauli and Bell shadows, retaining some of the benefits of both. For large $n$, we show that randomized measurements in $n$-qubit GHZ bases further improve the best scaling to $\sim (3/2)^k$, albeit on an increasingly restricted set of operators. Despite their simplicity and lower hardware requirements, these protocols can match or outperform recently-introduced "shallow shadows" in some practically-relevant Pauli estimation tasks.

description: Since acquiring perfect supervision is usually difficult, real-world machine learning tasks often confront inaccurate, incomplete, or inexact supervision, collectively referred to as weak supervision. In this work, we present WSAUC, a unified framework for weakly supervised AUC optimization problems, which covers noisy label learning, positive-unlabeled learning, multi-instance learning, and semi-supervised learning scenarios. Within the WSAUC framework, we first frame the AUC optimization problems in various weakly supervised scenarios as a common formulation of minimizing the AUC risk on contaminated sets, and demonstrate that the empirical risk minimization problems are consistent with the true AUC. Then, we introduce a new type of partial AUC, specifically, the reversed partial AUC (rpAUC), which serves as a robust training objective for AUC maximization in the presence of contaminated labels. WSAUC offers a universal solution for AUC optimization in various weakly supervised scenarios by maximizing the empirical rpAUC. Theoretical and experimental results under multiple settings support the effectiveness of WSAUC on a range of weakly supervised AUC optimization tasks.

description: El tema de la presente investigación se centra en los alcances y limitaciones de la teoría del caos como herramienta de análisis del comportamiento organizacional, cultura y necesidad de cambio de las organizaciones. La primera hipótesis, base del trabajo, sostiene que las organizaciones son sistemas dinámicos temporales, no lineales y no periódicos; la segunda, sostiene que el efecto mariposa condiciona la interacción de escala entre la organización como sistema, sus partes y su entorno; la tercera, sostiene que las organizaciones cambian constantemente para adaptarse a su entorno obedeciendo a un comportamiento fractal; la cuarta y última, sostiene que el comportamiento organizacional es la resultante de las tres hipótesis anteriores. Para sustentar las hipótesis mencionadas, se dividió el trabajo en cuatro capítulos. En el primero, se presentan los marcos histórico y teórico de la Teoría del Caos; en el segundo se trata al comportamiento organizacional a través de una visión de escalas para abordar una perspectiva fractal; en el tercero se trata la importancia de las escalas y la dependencia sensitiva de las condiciones iniciales para generar el cambio; y finalmente, en el cuarto capítulo, se aborda el tema de la importancia de la utilización del cerebro derecho para los líderes actuales, con la finalidad de apuntar a lograr una organización inteligente y afrontar un entorno turbulento como el actual. Al finalizar el trabajo, se concluyo que las organizaciones son sistemas dinámicos no lineales, no periódicos y muy flexibles; que al ser vistos mediante una visión de escalas permiten la comprensión de diversos fenómenos como los comportamientos y estructuras fractales, o los efectos mariposa llamados también círculos reforzadores. En adición, se verifica la importancia del uso de los arquetipos sistémicos para comprender sistemas dinámicos complejos, tales como la organización, sus partes y su entorno.

description: The drop punt delivered with a backspin is more common in Australian football, whereas the torpedo punt delivered with a rifle spin is the standard kick in rugby. The spin rate and the kick precision were measured with a smart Australian rules football, instrumented with three high speed gyros. The kick precision is defined by the elevation angle of the spin axis, with 0° and 90° being the perfect drop and torpedo punts, respectively. The data were recorded from participants of various skill levels in Australian football and rugby, kicking the ball with rifle spins and backspins. Torpedo punts were kicked at higher spin rates than drop punts (8.2 vs. 4.8 revolutions per second). The average kick precision in torpedo and drop punts was similar (80%, if the perfect kick equals 100%). There was no evidence from the recorded data that spin rate influences the kick precision. © 2013 The Authors.

description: Gribov-Zwanziger prescription in Yang-Mills theory improves the infrared dynamics. In this work, we study the static potential of a heavy quark-antiquark pair with the HTL resummed perturbation method within the Gribov-Zwanziger approach at finite temperature. The real and imaginary parts of the heavy quark complex potential are obtained from the one-loop effective static gluon propagator. The one-loop effective gluon propagator is obtained by calculating the one-loop gluon self-energies containing the quark, gluon, and ghost loop. The gluon and ghost loops are modified in the presence of the Gribov parameter. We also calculate the decay width from the imaginary part of the potential. We also discuss the medium effect of heavy quark potential with the localized action via auxiliary fields.

description: Previous research has shown that sanctions have a negative impact on the level of democracy in targeted authoritarian countries. This runs counter to substantive comparative literature on democratization which finds that economic stress is connected with regime collapse and democratic liberalization. To solve this puzzle, we focus on the effects of “democratic sanctions” (those that explicitly aim to promote democracy) which have become the most common type of sanction issued against authoritarian states. We introduce a new data set of imposed sanctions in the period 1990–2010 that clearly separates sanctions according to the explicit goal of the sender. Our cross-sectional time-series analysis demonstrates that although sanctions as a whole do not generally increase the level of democracy, there is in fact a significant correlation between democratic sanctions and increased levels of democracy in targeted authoritarian countries. A fundamental mechanism leading to this outcome is the increased instability of authoritarian rule as democratic sanctions are significantly associated with a higher probability of regime and leadership change.

description: We develop a boundary integral equation-based numerical method to solve for the electrostatic potential in two dimensions, inside a medium with piecewise constant conductivity, where the boundary condition is given by the complete electrode model (CEM). The CEM is seen as the most accurate model of the physical setting where electrodes are placed on the surface of an electrically conductive body, and currents are injected through the electrodes and the resulting voltages are measured again on these same electrodes. The integral equation formulation is based on expressing the electrostatic potential as the solution to a finite number of Laplace equations which are coupled through boundary matching conditions. This allows us to re-express the solution in terms of single layer potentials; the problem is thus re-cast as a system of integral equations on a finite number of smooth curves. We discuss an adaptive method for the solution of the resulting system of mildly singular integral equations. This solver is both fast and accurate. We then present a numerical inverse solver for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) which uses our forward solver at its core. To demonstrate the applicability of our results we test our numerical methods on an open electrical impedance tomography data set provided by the Finnish Inverse Problems Society.

description: Quantum computing requires a universal set of gate operations; regarding gates as rotations, any rotation angle must be possible. However a real device may only be capable of $B$ bits of resolution, i.e. it might support only $2^B$ possible variants of a given physical gate. Naive discretization of an algorithm's gates to the nearest available options causes coherent errors, while decomposing an impermissible gate into several allowed operations increases circuit depth. Conversely, demanding higher $B$ can greatly complexify hardware. Here we explore an alternative: Probabilistic Angle Interpolation (PAI). This effectively implements any desired, continuously parametrised rotation by randomly choosing one of three discretised gate settings and postprocessing individual circuit outputs. The approach is particularly relevant for near-term applications where one would in any case average over many runs of circuit executions to estimate expected values. While PAI increases that sampling cost, we prove that a) the approach is optimal in the sense that PAI achieves the least possible overhead and c) the overhead is remarkably modest even with thousands of parametrised gates and only $7$ bits of resolution available. This is a profound relaxation of engineering requirements for first generation quantum computers where even $5-6$ bits of resolution may suffice and, as we demonstrate, the approach is many orders of magnitude more efficient than prior techniques. Moreover we conclude that, even for more mature late-NISQ hardware, no more than $9$ bits will be necessary.

description: The elastic pion-proton and pion-pion scattering are studied in a holographic QCD model, focusing on the Regge regime. Taking into account the Pomeron and Reggeon exchange, which are described by the Reggeized $2^{++}$ glueball and vector meson propagator respectively, the total and differential cross sections are calculated. The adjustable parameters involved in the model are determined with the experimental data of the pion-proton total cross sections. The differential cross sections can be predicted without any additional parameters, and it is shown that our predictions are consistent with the data. The energy dependence of the Pomeron and Reggeon contribution is also discussed.

description: The astonishing diversity in the observed planetary population re- quires theoretical efforts and advances in planet formation theories. The use of numerical approaches provides a method to tackle the weaknesses of current models and is a major tool to slowly close gaps in poorly constrained areas such as the rapid formation of gi- ant planets in highly evolved systems. So far, most numerical approaches make use of Lagrangian-based smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) techniques or grid-based 2D axisymmetric simulations. Here, we present a new setup to model gravitational instabilities in 3D with the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics code Enzo. We explore the potential impact of AMR techniques to model the first stages of giant planet formation via gravitational instabilities (GI), in particular the fragmentation and clumping due to large-scale instabilities using different numerical setups. As our reference model we consider the temporal evolution of a compact (r = 10 AU) and massive (M_disk = 0.05M_Sun) protoplanetary disk around a central object of subsolar mass (M_star = 0.646 M_Sun), which was suggested to form through common-envelope events by Schleicher and Dreizler [2014]. Adopting a simple thermodynamical profile corresponding to a marginally stable disk, we show that fragmentation and clumping can be observed in the disk structure. In the numerical model, clumps are formed by GI but eventually vanish due to tidal disruptions. The latter reflects the absence of radiative feedback from the central star, which may stabilize the clumps on larger scales. Our simulations illus- trate the capabilities of AMR-based modeling techniques for planet formation simulations. We expect that the inclusion of additional physics like radiative feedback and the formation of sink particles will provide a detailed framework to study the formation of planets via gravitational instabilities.

description: We present results from a 3.25 kg-day target exposure of two silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs), each with 24 megapixels and skipper readout, deployed in the DAMIC setup at SNOLAB. With a reduction in pixel readout noise of a factor of 10 relative to the previous detector, we investigate the excess population of low-energy events in the CCD bulk previously observed above expected backgrounds. We address the dominant systematic uncertainty of the previous analysis through a depth fiducialization designed to reject surface backgrounds on the CCDs. The measured bulk ionization spectrum confirms the presence of an excess population of low-energy events in the CCD target with characteristic rate of ${\sim}7$ events per kg-day and electron-equivalent energies of ${\sim}80~$eV, whose origin remains unknown.

description: In this thesis, I study the precision of exoplanetary characteristics, in particular their masses and radii, by using different methods. I highlight the supposed improvements provided by asteroseismic studies. To calculate the exoplanetary parameters, I use five different calculation meth- ods for the model systems Kepler-10, 21 and 22. The distinctions are set in the computation of the required stellar parameters. I show that the precision increases with the use of asteroseismology, though only asteroseismic modeling improves the exoplanet parameters significantly. Other methods used in this thesis refine the accuracy only under certain conditions. At last I give a short prospect on future possibilities with planned space missions.

description: Analysis of muscle exertion while exercising gives insight into an individual's balance, technique and activity performance. Smart Compression Garments (SCG) function as a low-cost material pressure mapping system integrated within consumer compression apparel capable of assessing both muscle use, and limb positioning. The SCG used for testing contained 5 sensors capable of measuring pressure between fabric and skin above key muscle groups of the lower limbs with marker-based video analysis to determine Knee Flexion Angle. The SCG was calibrated through voluntary contractions of target muscles, where surface pressure range and EMG data allowed for the quantification of exertion levels whilst the participant performed leg extension and flexion activities. Each sensor measured a viable range of pressure relative to the exertion level for each muscle group with a strong repeatable nature and correlation to muscle activation load. Additionally, analysis of the muscle loading variation of the quadriceps and hamstrings whilst walking on a treadmill at low speed was shown to match pre-established gait activation behaviour. Results support that a SCG with low-cost integration of piezoresistive materials has considerable promise in determination of muscle loads and potential injury conditions for the purpose of athlete training support.

description: Machine Translation (MT) continues to make significant strides in quality and is increasingly adopted on a larger scale. Consequently, analyses have been redirected to more nuanced aspects, intricate phenomena, as well as potential risks that may arise from the widespread use of MT tools. Along this line, this paper offers a meticulous assessment of three commercial MT systems - Google Translate, DeepL, and Modern MT - with a specific focus on gender translation and bias. For three language pairs (English/Spanish, English/Italian, and English/French), we scrutinize the behavior of such systems at several levels of granularity and on a variety of naturally occurring gender phenomena in translation. Our study takes stock of the current state of online MT tools, by revealing significant discrepancies in the gender translation of the three systems, with each system displaying varying degrees of bias despite their overall translation quality.

description: Abstract

Acute abdominal pain accounts for about 8% of all children attending the emergency department. As a general rule, any abdominal pain in children which is lasting for more than four hours duration should be regarded as evidence of potential abdominal emergency unless proved other The entailed study was carried out Prospectively on 160 children less than 14 years of age presenting to the OPD/Emergency of the Post Graduate Department of General Surgery Government Medical College, Jammu with history of Acute Abdominal pain, conducted over a period of 1 year w.e.f. 1st November 2021 to 31st October 2022. All the patients were treated as in-patients. The clinic-epidemiological profile of patients was noted and treatment modality was planned as per the clinical, hematological and radiological findings. . The most common operative procedure was open appendectomy (25%) followed by release of band in 7.5 % cases.

description: Breaking of inversion symmetry leads to nonlinear and nonreciprocal electron transport, in which the voltage response does not invert with the reversal of the current direction. Many systems have incorporated inversion symmetry breaking into their band or crystal structures. In this work, we demonstrate that a conventional two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system with a back gate shows non-reciprocal behavior (with voltage proportional to current squared) in the quantum Hall regime, which depends on the out-of-plane magnetic field and contact configuration. The inversion symmetry is broken due to the presence of the back gate and magnetic field, and our phenomenological model provides a qualitative explanation of the experimental data. Our results suggest a universal mechanism that gives rise to non-reciprocal behavior in gated samples.

description: Isometric nickel copper ferrite nanoparticles with composition Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 synthesized using hydrothermal technique. Nanoparticles were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering technique, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The nanoparticles obtained were of ~85 nm in size. Haemolysis of blood, microbial toxicology, and
teratology on chick embryos were performed using various standard biological assays. The material was found to be non haematotoxic and non-teratogenic. The Bradford’s assay showed that the level of total protein content to be insignificantly altered in the treated chick embryos. The material demonstrated an excellent antioxidant property of 75% when studied using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The nanoparticles synthesized have shown
substantial inhibition of pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus substilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Based on the current evidences and in comparison with the known ferrites, it was inferred that the biocompatibility and the ability of nickel copper ferrite nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of the
selected pathogenic bacteria, opens the doors to a new arena for the usage of nanoparticles synthesized in clean room filters as antibacterial agents. They can also be considered for use as air filters for pathogens in nasal masks.
Because of the inhibition it has caused against Streptococcus mutans, a significant contributor for tooth decay, it can be incorporated in tooth pastes, mouth washes as a potent antibacterial agent.

Estimation of cruciate ligament forces via smart compression garments

description: Muscle and ligament injuries are among the most common sports injuries with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries commonplace in many sporting codes. Several studies have been performed in an effort to quantify the loading of the cruciate ligaments during activity. However these ultimately rely on data obtained through static machines performing isokinetic movements. Smart Compression Garments (SCG), functioning as a wearable muscle and ligament management system, were developed to understand the loading of the ligaments whilst providing an additional means to mitigate the risk of overload and strain. Forces were determined through a new method of calculating the cruciate ligament forces utilising the forward dynamic calculation of the SCG determined muscle forces and knee angle. Four controlled scenarios were performed to evaluate the ligament loading conditions involving maximal contraction of the hamstrings or quadriceps at several knee flexion angles. The loading of the cruciate ligaments was demonstrated during walking on a treadmill, where the both the ACL and PCL were significantly stressed alternatively once per stride. The application of an SCG allows for the associated information processing of soft tissue data through a wearable system capable of assessing active muscle load, cruciate ligament forces, and co-contraction of paired muscles in real-time, providing metrics for improved performance and safety.
Constant-sized self-tests for maximally entangled states and single projective measurements

description: Self-testing is a powerful certification of quantum systems relying on measured, classical statistics. This paper considers self-testing in bipartite Bell scenarios with small number of inputs and outputs, but with quantum states and measurements of arbitrarily large dimension. The contributions are twofold. Firstly, it is shown that every maximally entangled state can be self-tested with four binary measurements per party. This result extends the earlier work of Mančinska-Prakash-Schafhauser (2021), which applies to maximally entangled states of odd dimensions only. Secondly, it is shown that every single binary projective measurement can be self-tested with five binary measurements per party. A similar statement holds for self-testing of projective measurements with more than two outputs. These results are enabled by the representation theory of quadruples of projections that add to a scalar multiple of the identity. Structure of irreducible representations, analysis of their spectral features and post-hoc self-testing are the primary methods for constructing the new self-tests with small number of inputs and outputs.
