description: Expressions for local discrete variance decay (DVD) rates are directly derived from discrete tracer equations without any assumptions on discrete fluxes of the second moment. Spurious mixing (SM) associated with numerical implementations of scalar advection and diffusion is thus estimated. The new framework is shown to avoid the need for second-moment flux definition when solved on finite-volume cell edges but still invoke certain second-moment fluxes when the DVD rates are partitioned to participating cell nodes. These implied discrete fluxes are shown to differ from those proposed in earlier literature (but share the same dissipative part) and thus reveal the non-uniqueness of their nature. They are shown to be ambiguous for high-order advection schemes introducing uncertainty to the locality of any estimates produced by a DVD approach. Additional damping of flux divergence through temporal averaging or some coarse-graining is thus shown to be necessary. Through the application of this technique, SM is found to be correlated with the distribution of eddy kinetic energy. The contribution from vertical advection to SM is found to be relatively small and correlated with the distribution of buoyancy fluxes. The explored high-order schemes are found to demonstrate levels of spurious mixing which may locally exceed background physical mixing.

description: Forecasting sea ice concentration (SIC) and sea ice velocity (SIV) in the Arctic Ocean is of great significance as the Arctic environment has been changed by the recent warming climate. Given that physical sea ice models require high computational costs with complex parameterization, deep learning techniques can effectively replace the physical model and improve the performance of sea ice prediction. This study proposes a novel multi-task fully conventional network architecture named hierarchical information-sharing U-net (HIS-Unet) to predict daily SIC and SIV. Instead of learning SIC and SIV separately at each branch, we allow the SIC and SIV layers to share their information and assist each other's prediction through the weighting attention modules (WAMs). Consequently, our HIS-Unet outperforms other statistical approaches, sea ice physical models, and neural networks without such information-sharing units. The improvement of HIS-Unet is more significant to when and where SIC changes seasonally, which implies that the information sharing between SIC and SIV through WAMs helps learn the dynamic changes of SIC and SIV. The weight values of the WAMs imply that SIC information plays a more critical role in SIV prediction, compared to that of SIV information in SIC prediction, and information sharing is more active in marginal ice zones (e.g., East Greenland and Hudson/Baffin Bays) than in the central Arctic.

description: We study the two-dimensional disordered topological superconductor with Hubbard interactions. When the magnitude of the pairing potential is tuned to special values, this interacting model is exactly solvable even when disorders are imposed on the potential term or coupling constants. The topology of this model is investigated in detail by the real space Chern number formula, which computes the topological index of disordered systems to high precisions. It is found that the disorders can drive the system from topological trivial phase to a non-trivial phase, which generalizes the topological Anderson phenomena to interacting models. The self-consistent Born approximation is also employed to understand the influence of the disorders on the parameters of the interacting topological superconductor. It provide an alternative way to understand the topological transitions at weak disordered region.

description: W opracowaniu omówiono propozycje zmian w procedurze karnej, oparte na nich prace nad jej reformą oraz zakres nowelizacji kodeksu w latach 1944-1950. Wykazano, że wprowadzone do kodeksu z 1928 r. zmiany skutkowały stworzeniem nowego modelu procesu karnego w porównaniu ze stanem prawnym ukształtowanym w okresie międzywojennym. Ważnym elementem nowelizacji kodeksu było wykorzystanie przepisów proceduralnych zawartych w specjalnych aktach prawa karnego materialnego z lat 1944-1946. W konsekwencji unormowania dotyczące uprzednio postępowania w sprawach szczególnych typów przestępstw, w ramach nowelizacji kodeksu z 1928 r. zyskały walor powszechnie obowiązujący. Podkreślono także polityczny aspekt fundamentalnych zmian w kodeksie postępowania karnego z 1928 r. Celem zasadniczej nowelizacji kodeksu w pierwej dekadzie Polski Ludowej było bowiem nie tylko zapewnienie prawidłowego przebiegu procesu karnego, ale przede wszystkim zabezpieczenie kształtującego się w tym okresie nowego ustroju politycznego, społecznego i gospodarczego

description: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a prominent application in the field of quantum cryptography providing information-theoretic security for secret key exchange. The implementation of QKD systems on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can reduce the size and cost of such systems and facilitate their deployment in practical infrastructures. To this end, continuous-variable (CV) QKD systems are particularly well-suited as they do not require single-photon detectors, whose integration is presently challenging. Here we present a CV-QKD receiver based on a silicon PIC capable of performing balanced detection. We characterize its performance in a laboratory QKD setup using a frequency multiplexed pilot scheme with specifically designed data processing allowing for high modulation and secret key rates. The obtained excess noise values are compatible with asymptotic secret key rates of 2.4 Mbit/s and 220 kbit/s at an emulated distance of 10 km and 23 km, respectively. These results demonstrate the potential of this technology towards fully integrated devices suitable for high-speed, metropolitan-distance secure communication.

description: Large sky spectroscopic surveys have reached the scale of photometric surveys in terms of sample sizes and data complexity. These huge datasets require efficient, accurate, and flexible automated tools for data analysis and science exploitation. We present the Galaxy Spectra Network/GaSNet-II, a supervised multi-network deep learning tool for spectra classification and redshift prediction. GaSNet-II can be trained to identify a customized number of classes and optimize the redshift predictions for classified objects in each of them. It also provides redshift errors, using a network-of-networks that reproduces a Monte Carlo test on each spectrum, by randomizing their weight initialization. As a demonstration of the capability of the deep learning pipeline, we use 260k Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra from Data Release 16, separated into 13 classes including 140k galactic, and 120k extragalactic objects. GaSNet-II achieves 92.4% average classification accuracy over the 13 classes (larger than 90% for the majority of them), and an average redshift error of approximately 0.23% for galaxies and 2.1% for quasars. We further train/test the same pipeline to classify spectra and predict redshifts for a sample of 200k 4MOST mock spectra and 21k publicly released DESI spectra. On 4MOST mock data, we reach 93.4% accuracy in 10-class classification and an average redshift error of 0.55% for galaxies and 0.3% for active galactic nuclei. On DESI data, we reach 96% accuracy in (star/galaxy/quasar only) classification and an average redshift error of 2.8% for galaxies and 4.8% for quasars, despite the small sample size available. GaSNet-II can process ~40k spectra in less than one minute, on a normal Desktop GPU. This makes the pipeline particularly suitable for real-time analyses of Stage-IV survey observations and an ideal tool for feedback loops aimed at night-by-night survey strategy optimization.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) has established specific targets for control, elimination or eradication of some vaccine preventable infectious diseases, which were periodically updated. In Italy, WHO recommendations have been endorsed and implemented over time, through the national and regional health prevention plans. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the immunization practices against measles, varicella and Neisseria meningitidis type C (Men C) in Italy and in Tuscany Region, during the last decades, by analyzing national and regional surveillance databases. Benefits of vaccination strategies were discussed from different points of view (clinical, epidemiological, economic, ethical, social and communicative). The implementation of measles, varicella and Men C vaccination, caused a considerable decrease of incidence rates over the years in Italy and in Tuscany too. However, in the last years, notifications of measles and Men C cases in subjects not targeted by immunization campaigns, in Italy and in Tuscany, are a cause for concern for public health and for the achievement of the elimination goals. Achieving and maintaining high vaccine coverage guarantees a decrease in the incidence of serious diseases and their clinical and economic consequences, but it is necessary to strengthen surveillance system of infectious diseases in order to monitor epidemiological trends. Moreover, outreach campaigns are necessary to raise awareness in the general population and create the culture of prevention with the same nationwide health goals for all.

description: Integrating different functionalities, conventionally implemented as dedicated systems, into a single platform allows utilising the available resources more efficiently. We consider an integrated sensing and power transfer (ISAPT) system and propose the joint optimisation of the rectangular pulse-shaped transmit signal and the beamforming vector to combine sensing and wireless power transfer (WPT) functionalities efficiently. In contrast to prior works, we adopt an accurate non-linear circuit-based energy harvesting (EH) model. We formulate and solve a non-convex optimisation problem for a general number of EH receivers to maximise a weighted sum of the average harvested powers at the EH receivers while ensuring the received echo signal reflected by a sensing target (ST) has sufficient power for estimating the range to the ST with a prescribed accuracy within the considered coverage region. The average harvested power is shown to monotonically increase with the pulse duration when the average transmit power budget is sufficiently large. We discuss the trade-off between sensing performance and power transfer for the considered ISAPT system. The proposed approach significantly outperforms a heuristic baseline scheme based on a linear EH model, which linearly combines energy beamforming with the beamsteering vector in the direction to the ST as its transmit strategy.

description: Between nineteenth and twentieth centuries, medicine knew the beginning of an incessant development: the birth of new medical specialties (radiology, for instance), the introduction of new devices in medical and surgical wards, and the discovery of bacteria represented important milestones in that first historical period. The Medical School of the University of Genoa, head by Edoardo Maragliano, full professor of internal medicine, took on a relevant role in the battle against tuberculosis, through the experimental demonstration of the existence of an immune response against M. tuberculosis and the production of an inactivated vaccine. During his career, Maragliano surrounded himself with graduate assistants and students, who would later become full professors of internal medicine in prestigious universities and excellent physicians. In order to allow the correct diagnosis and educate his young colleagues, Maragliano endowed his clinic laboratories of haematology, biochemistry, microbiology and radiology. Under his supervision, the assistants of the Genoa University Medical Clinic issued over two thousand scientific publications.

description: Jellyfish galaxies are promising laboratories for studying radiative cooling and magnetic fields in multiphase gas flows. Their long, dense tails are observed to be magnetised, and they extend up to 100 kpc into the intracluster medium (ICM), suggesting that their gas is thermally unstable so that the cold gas mass grows with time rather than being fully dissolved in the hot wind as a result of hydrodynamical interface instabilities. In this paper we use the AREPO code to perform magnetohydrodynamical windtunnel simulations of a jellyfish galaxy experiencing ram-pressure stripping by interacting with an ICM wind. The ICM density, temperature and velocity that the galaxy encounters are time-dependent and comparable to what a real jellyfish galaxy experiences while orbiting the ICM. In simulations with a turbulent magnetised wind we reproduce observations, which show that the magnetic field is aligned with the jellyfish tails. During the galaxy infall into the cluster with a near edge-on geometry, the gas flow in the tail is fountain-like, implying preferential stripping of gas where the rotational velocity vectors add up with the ram pressure while fall-back occurs in the opposite case. Hence, the tail velocity shows a memory of the rotation pattern of the disc. At the time of the nearest cluster passage, ram-pressure stripping is so strong that the fountain flow is destroyed and instead the tail is dominated by removal of gas. We show that gas in the tail is very fragmentative, which is a prediction of shattering due to radiative cooling.

description: Introduction. The appropriate use of antibiotics is a global priority in order to avoid antibiotic resistance. Up to 50% of antibiotics usage in hospital is inappropriate (e.g. prolonged surgical prophylaxis, “defensive medicine” approach).
In 2015, at the Ferrara University Hospital, an antimicrobial stewardship intervention to reduce antimicrobial prescription at the time of hospital discharge in patients at risk of surgical site infection was implemented. This programme included: update meetings for health professionals, focused meetings for critical wards, reviews of some surgical prophylaxis protocols, recommendations to reduce broad-spectrum antimicrobials use, and planning of an audit. The purpose of this study has been to evaluate the effect of this antimicrobial stewardship programme.
Methods. To evaluate the effect of this intervention, a study has been carried out including inpatients in surveillance for surgical site infection who had surgery during the last quarter of 2014 (pre-intervention group; 461 patients) and of 2015 (post-intervention group; 532 patients).
Results. The proportion of patients with prescription of at least one antimicrobial at discharge decreased from 33% to 24.4% (p=0.002). The most prescribed categories of antimicrobials in both groups were the combination of penicillins with beta-lactamase inhibitors (with prescription rate reduced from 21.9% to 18%; p=0.13) and fluoroquinolones (from 8.2% to 3.2%; p<0.001).
Conclusions. This statistically significant reduction in antimicrobial prescription after the intervention was registered without a change in surgical site infections rate (from 3.5% to 3.2%; p=0.08). Therefore, this intervention was effective in reducing the antimicrobial prescription at discharge, without affecting patients' safety.

description: Due to their slow gas flow dynamics, natural gas pipelines function as short-term storage, the so-called linepack. By efficiently utilizing linepack, the natural gas system can provide flexibility to the power system through the flexible operation of gas-fired power plants. This requires accurately representing the gas flow physics governed by partial differential equations. Although several modeling and solution choices have been proposed in the literature, their impact on the flexibility provision of gas networks to power systems has not been thoroughly analyzed and compared. This paper bridges this gap by first developing a unified framework. We harmonize existing approaches and demonstrate their derivation from and application to the partial differential equations. Secondly, based on the proposed framework, we numerically analyze the implications of various modeling and solution choices on the flexibility provision from gas networks to power systems. One key conclusion is that relaxation-based approaches allow charging and discharging the linepack at physically infeasible high rates, ultimately overestimating the flexibility.

description: We present improved predictions of a class of event-shape distributions called angularity for a contribution from an effective operator $H\to gg$ in Higgs hadronic decay that suffers from large perturbative uncertainties. In the frame of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, logarithmic terms of the distribution are resummed at NNLL$'$ accuracy, for which 2-loop constant of gluon-jet function for angularity is independently determined by a fit to fixed-order distribution at NLO corresponding to ${\mathcal{O}}(α_s^2)$ relative to the Born rate. Our determination shows reasonable agreement with the value in a thesis recently released. In the fit, we use an asymptotic form with a fractional power conjectured from recoil corrections at one-loop order and it improves the accuracy of determination in positive values of angularity parameter $a$. The resummed distribution is matched to the NLO fixed-order results to make our predictions valid at all angularity values. We also discuss the first moment and subtracted moment of angularity as a function of $a$ that allow to extract information on leading and subleading nonperturbative corrections associated with gluons.

description: There is growing interest in the development of a muon collider that would make it possible to produce lepton collisions at energies of several TeV. Among others, there can be significant contributions to electroweak gauge boson, Higgs boson and top quark physics. In this work we pay attention to the latter, in particular, effective flavor-changing (FC) top-quark interactions. We discuss the flavor changing $t \bar q$ ($q=u,c$) production processes that can be a good probe of the dimension-six top quark four-fermion and fermion-boson operators in the SMEFT. We consider all sixteen operators that can generate flavor-changing top quark couplings. After comparing with the current LHC bounds, we find potential limits three or four orders of magnitude stronger for four-fermion operators. Concerning fermion-boson couplings, for the tensor operators $Q_{uW}$ and $Q_{uB}$ we obtain the highest sensitivity. We also observe that the effective $W$ approximation (EWA) does not apply with $Q_{uB}$.

description: Combination vaccines represent a valuable technological innovation in the field of infectious disease prevention and public health, because of their great health and economic value from the individual, societal, and healthcare system perspectives.

In order to increase parents’ and healthcare professionals’ confidence in the vaccination programs and maintain their benefits to society, more information about the benefits of innovative vaccination tools such as combination vaccines is needed.

Purpose of this work is an examination of available hexavalent vaccines, that protect against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b infections. From the epidemiological updates of vaccine preventable diseases to the vaccine development cycle, from the immunogenicity of antigenic components to the safety and co-administration with other vaccines, several aspects of available hexavalent vaccines are discussed and deepened.
Also a number of practical considerations on schedules, age of employment, strategies for vaccination recovery, vaccination in at-risk births are issued, based on the recommendations of Italian Ministry of Health, Italian Society of Pharmacology (SIF), Italian Society for Pediatrics (SIP), Italian Federation of Family Paediatricians (FIMP) and Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SItI).

description: In this paper, we perform fits to $B \to PP$ decays, where $B = \{B^0, B^+, B_s^0\}$ and the pseudoscalar $P = \{π, K\}$, under the assumption of flavor SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$]. Although the fits to $ΔS=0$ or $ΔS=1$ decays individually are good, the combined fit is very poor: there is a $3.6σ$ disagreement with the SU(3)$_F$ limit of the standard model (SM$_{\rm{SU(3)}_F}$). One can remove this discrepancy by adding SU(3)$_F$-breaking effects, but 1000% SU(3)$_F$ breaking is required. The above results are rigorous, group-theoretically - no dynamical assumptions have been made. When one adds an assumption motivated by QCD factorization, the discrepancy with the SM$_{\rm{SU(3)}_F}$ grows to $4.4σ$.

Rectified Lorentz Force from Thermal Current Fluctuations

description: In a conducting medium held at finite temperature, free carriers are performing Brownian motion and generate fluctuating electromagnetic fields. We compute the averaged Lorentz force density that turns out nonzero in a thin sub-surface layer, pointing towards the surface, while vanishing in the bulk. This is an elementary example of rectified fluctuations, similar to the Casimir force or radiative heat transport. Our results also provide an experimental way to distinguish between the Drude and so-called plasma models.

description: Large language models (LLMs), such as GPT4 and LLaMA, are creating significant advancements in natural language processing, due to their strong text encoding/decoding ability and newly found emergent capability (e.g., reasoning). While LLMs are mainly designed to process pure texts, there are many real-world scenarios where text data is associated with rich structure information in the form of graphs (e.g., academic networks, and e-commerce networks) or scenarios where graph data is paired with rich textual information (e.g., molecules with descriptions). Besides, although LLMs have shown their pure text-based reasoning ability, it is underexplored whether such ability can be generalized to graphs (i.e., graph-based reasoning). In this paper, we provide a systematic review of scenarios and techniques related to large language models on graphs. We first summarize potential scenarios of adopting LLMs on graphs into three categories, namely pure graphs, text-attributed graphs, and text-paired graphs. We then discuss detailed techniques for utilizing LLMs on graphs, including LLM as Predictor, LLM as Encoder, and LLM as Aligner, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different schools of models. Furthermore, we discuss the real-world applications of such methods and summarize open-source codes and benchmark datasets. Finally, we conclude with potential future research directions in this fast-growing field. The related source can be found at https://github.com/PeterGriffinJin/Awesome-Language-Model-on-Graphs.

description: The increasing importance of recycling makes the recovery of valuable elements from slags interesting, e.g., by the concept of engineered artificial minerals (EnAMs). In this concept, it is aimed for the formation of EnAMs, meaning phase(s) with a high content of the to-be-recovered element(s) from slags of pyrometallurgical recycling processes. For this, understanding the phase constitution of the slag systems is of high importance. The system Mg-Mn-Al-O is a metal oxide slag subsystem from Li-ion battery recycling, that is critical for the formation of spinel phases, which are competing phases to the possible Li-containing EnAM phase LiAlO2. Here, the phase constitution was investigated using a thin film materials library that covers the composition space (Mg14-69Mn11-38Al14-74)Ox. By means of high-throughput energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, the formation of the spinel solid solution phase was confirmed for a wide composition space. Increasing preferential orientation of the spinel solid solution along (400) with increasing Mg content was identified. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to measure the near-surface composition of selected areas of the materials library, and detailed peak fitting of the Mn 2p3/2 region revealed the Mn oxidation state to be a mixture of Mn2+ and Mn3+. For one measurement area of the materials library containing equal atomic amounts of Mg, Mn and Al, transmission electron microscopy showed that the approximately 420 nm-thick film consists of columnar spinel grains with Mg, Mn and Al being evenly distributed. Based on these results, we suggest that the shown high likelihood of spinel formation in slags might be influenced by controlling the Mn oxidation state to enable the formation of desirable EnAM phases.
Electron-hole collision-limited resistance of gapped graphene

description: Collisions between electrons and holes can dominate the carrier scattering in clean graphene samples in the vicinity of charge neutrality point. While electron-hole limited resistance in pristine gapless graphene is well-studied, its evolution with induction of band gap $E_g$ is less explored. Here, we derive the functional dependence of electron-hole limited resistance of gapped graphene $ρ_{eh}$ on the ratio of gap and thermal energy $E_g/kT$. At low temperatures and large band gaps, the resistance grows linearly with $E_g/kT$, and possesses a minimum at $E_g \approx 2.5 kT$. This contrast to the Arrhenius activation-type behaviour for intrinsic semiconductors. Introduction of impurities restores the Arrhenius law for resistivity at low temperatures and/or high doping densities. The hallmark of electron-hole collision effects in graphene resistivity at charge neutrality is the crossover between exponential and power-law resistivity scalings with temperature.
Selective damping of plasmons in coupled two-dimensional systems by Coulomb drag

description: The Coulomb drag is a many-body effect observed in proximized low-dimensional systems. It appears as emergence of voltage in one of them upon passage of bias current in another. The magnitude of drag voltage can be strongly affected by exchange of plasmonic excitations between the layers; however, the reverse effect of Coulomb drag on properties of plasmons has not been studied. Here, we study the plasmon spectra and damping in parallel two-dimensional systems in the presence of Coulomb drag. We find that Coulomb drag leads to selective damping of one of the two fundamental plasma modes of a coupled bilayer. For identical electron doping of both layers, the drag suppresses the acoustic plasma mode; while for symmetric electron-hole doping of the coupled pair, the drag suppresses the optical plasma mode. The selective damping can be observed both for propagating modes in extended bilayers and for localized plasmons in bilayers confined by source and drain contacts. The discussed effect may provide access to the strength of Coulomb interaction in 2d electron systems from various optical and microwave scattering experiments.

description: When doped with a high density of mobile charge carriers, monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors can host new types of composite many-particle exciton states that do not exist in conventional semiconductors. Such multi-particle bound states arise when a photoexcited electron-hole pair couples to not just a single Fermi sea that is quantum-mechanically distinguishable (as for the case of conventional charged excitons or trions), but rather couples simultaneously to \textit{multiple} Fermi seas, each having distinct spin and valley quantum numbers. Composite six-particle ``hexciton'' states were recently identified in electron-doped WSe$_2$ monolayers, but under suitable conditions they should also form in all other members of the monolayer TMD family. Here we present spectroscopic evidence demonstrating the emergence of many-body hexcitons in charge-tunable WS$_2$ monolayers (at the A-exciton) and MoSe$_2$ monolayers (at the B-exciton). The roles of distinguishability and carrier screening on the stability of hexcitons are discussed.
