description: Measurements and feedback have emerged as powerful resources for creating many-body quantum states. However, a detailed understanding has been restricted to fixed-point representatives of phases of matter. Here, we go beyond this and characterize the patterns of many-body entanglement that can be deterministically created from measurement. Focusing on one spatial dimension, a framework is developed for the case where a single round of measurements is the only entangling operation. We show this creates matrix product states and identify necessary and sufficient tensor conditions for preparability, which uniquely determine the preparation protocol. We use these conditions to both classify preparable quantum states and characterize their physical constraints. In particular, we find a trade-off between the richness of the preparable entanglement spectrum and correlation functions, which leads to a no-go theorem for preparing certain quantum states. More broadly, we connect properties of the preparation protocol to the resulting phase of matter, including trivial, symmetry-breaking, and symmetry-protected topological phases -- for both uniform and modulated symmetries. This work offers a resource-theoretic perspective on preparable quantum entanglement and shows how to systematically create states of matter, away from their fixed points, in quantum devices.

description: We propose an implementation of bivariate bicycle codes (Nature {\bf 627}, 778 (2024)) based on long-range Rydberg gates between stationary neutral atom qubits. An optimized layout of data and ancilla qubits reduces the maximum Euclidean communication distance needed for non-local parity check operators. An optimized Rydberg gate pulse design enables $\sf CZ$ entangling operations with fidelity ${\mathcal F}>0.999$ at a distance greater than $12~μ\rm m$. The combination of optimized layout and gate design leads to a quantum error correction cycle time of $\sim 1.28~\rm ms$ for a $[[144,12,12]]$ code, nearly a factor of two improvement over previous designs.

A hypothetical model for selling a business: a vendor perspective

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: While there has been considerable research and theory development in the area of mergers and acquisitions from the buyer perspective, virtually no research exists from the vendor side. This paper brings together the insights the author has gained into this aspect of the trade sale from the vendor perspective from personal experience and from working with many entrepreneurs on preparing their business for sale to a strategic buyer. In the development of a theoretical model for selling a business to a strategic buyer, the author has developed an Exit Ready Index that identifies 34 attributes in the preparation process. These can be grouped into three major areas; alignment of interests, strategy and risk reduction. This has been tested for face validity through many workshops with entrepreneurs, venture capitalist and professional advisors. From this exposure the author has developed a hypothetical model of strategic value creation for the proposed buyer. The model assists the vendor to develop a strategy for increasing the sale price. The proposed model for creating strategic value includes risk reduction, enhancing strategic assets and competencies, reducing integration time, resolving succession issues and ramping up the exploitation rate. Unlike the strategy for improving the value on sale to an investment buyer, the proposed model does not include increasing the profitability of the vendor business beyond that necessary for survival and resilience. Few entrepreneurs are confident of their ability to develop a strategy for selling their business. Many, in fact, had over this responsibility to a professional advisor or to a business broker and rarely does this exploit the underlying value in the assets and competencies of the business. Entrepreneurs need more guidance on how to prepare their business for sale, how to use their underlying assets and competencies to create strategic value for a buyer and how to manage the sale process itself. The model proposed in this paper should provide a much needed framework for a vendor driven strategy on selling a business to a strategic buyer.

description: We study universal features of the density of one-particle states $ρ(E)$ in weakly coupled theories of gravity at energies above the quantum gravity cutoff $Λ$, defined as the scale suppressing higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein--Hilbert action. Using thermodynamic properties of black holes, we show that in asymptotically flat spacetimes, certain features of $ρ(E)$ above the black hole threshold $M_{\rm min}$ are an indicator for the existence of large extra dimensions, and cannot be reproduced by any lower-dimensional field theory with finitely many fields satisfying the weak energy condition. Based on the properties of gravitational scattering amplitudes, we argue that there needs to exist a (possibly higher-dimensional) effective description of gravity valid up to the cutoff $Λ$. Combining this with thermodynamic arguments we demonstrate that $ρ(E)$ has to grow exponentially for energies $Λ\ll E \ll M_{\rm min}$. Furthermore we show that the tension of any weakly coupled $p$-brane with $p\geq 1$ is bounded from below by $Λ^{p+1}$. We use this to argue that any tower of weakly coupled states with mass below $Λ$ has to be a Kaluza--Klein (KK) tower. Altogether these results indicate that in gravitational weak-coupling limits the lightest tower of states is either a KK tower, or has an exponentially growing degeneracy thereby resembling a string tower. This provides evidence for the Emergent String Conjecture without explicitly relying on string theory or supersymmetry.

description: Background and objective: Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants is an important public health issue. Here, we present a systematic review and meta-analysis of research examining the relationship of measures of nitrogen oxides and of various measures of traffic related air pollution exposure with lung cancer. Methods: We conducted random effects meta-analyses of studies examining exposure to NO₂ and NOx exposure and lung cancer. We identified 20 studies that met inclusion criteria and provided information necessary to estimate the change in lung cancer per 10 μg/m³ increase in exposure to measured NO₂. Further, we qualitatively assess the evidence of association between distance to roadways and traffic volume associated with lung cancer. Results: The meta-estimate for the change in lung cancer associated with a 10 μg/m³ increase in exposure to NO₂ was 4% (95% CI: 1%, 8%). The meta-estimate for change in lung cancer associated with a 10 μg/m³ increase in NOx was similar and slightly more precise, 3% (95% CI: 1%, 5%). The NO₂ meta-estimate was robust to different confounding adjustment sets as well as the exposure assessment techniques utilized. Trim-and-fill analyses suggest that if publication bias exists the overall meta-estimate is biased away from the null. Forest plots for measures of traffic volume and distance to roadways largely suggest a modest increase in lung cancer risk. Conclusion: We found consistent evidence of a relationship between NO₂ and NOx, as proxies for traffic sourced air pollution exposure, with lung cancer. Studies of lung cancer related to residential proximity to roadways also suggest increased risk, which may be due in part to air pollution exposure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified outdoor air pollution and particulate matter as carcinogenic (Group 1). These meta-analyses support this conclusion, drawing particular attention to traffic sourced air pollution.

description: Buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption. A considerable portion of building energy consumption stems from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and thus implementing smart, energy-efficient HVAC systems has the potential to significantly impact the course of climate change. In recent years, model-free reinforcement learning algorithms have been increasingly assessed for this purpose due to their ability to learn and adapt purely from experience. They have been shown to outperform classical controllers in terms of energy cost and consumption, as well as thermal comfort. However, their weakness lies in their relatively poor data efficiency, requiring long periods of training to reach acceptable policies, making them inapplicable to real-world controllers directly. In this paper, we demonstrate that using federated learning to train the reinforcement learning controller of HVAC systems can improve the learning speed, as well as improve their ability to generalize, which in turn facilitates transfer learning to unseen building environments. In our setting, a global control policy is learned by aggregating local policies trained on multiple data centers located in different climate zones. The goal of the policy is to minimize energy consumption and maximize thermal comfort. We perform experiments evaluating three different optimizers for local policy training, as well as three different federated learning algorithms against two alternative baselines. Our experiments show that these effects lead to a faster learning speed, as well as greater generalization capabilities in the federated policy compared to any individually trained policy. Furthermore, the learning stability is significantly improved, with the learning process and performance of the federated policy being less sensitive to the choice of parameters and the inherent randomness of reinforcement learning.

description: Optical networks are the leading platform for the transfer of information due to their low loss and ability to scale to many information channels using optical frequency modes. To fully leverage the quantum properties of light in this platform, it is desired to manipulate higher-dimensional superpositions by orchestrating linear, beamsplitter-type interactions between several channels simultaneously. We propose a method of achieving simultaneous, all-to-all coupling between N optical frequency modes via N-way Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing. By exploiting the frequency degree of freedom, additional modes can be multiplexed in an interaction medium of fixed volume and loss, avoiding the introduction of excess noise. We generalize the theory of the frequency-encoded two-mode interaction to N modes under this four-wave mixing approach and experimentally verify the quantum nature of this scheme by demonstrating three-way multiphoton interference. The two input photons are shared among three frequency modes and display interference differing from that of two classical (coherent-state) inputs. These results show the potential of our approach for the scalability of photonic quantum information processing to general N-mode systems in the frequency domain.

description: The purpose of this document is to describe the testing and evaluation plan of the Lynx platform, which is organized in three different levels: microservice level, integration level, and pilot use case level.
 In the microservice level the Lynx microservices are tested as single components. The evaluation methodology of this level is discussed and decided within WP3. Integration level testing aims to verify the functionalities of the Lynx platform implemented by many microservices that are integrated together. The population workflow, which is used to enrich documents and add them to the LKG, is clearly the functionality of this level that deserves more attention because of its complexity. The simpler test case of the population workflow consists of running a single instance of it, and, when it is completed, check whether the correctness conditions are satisfied. Moreover, to test the behaviour of the system under a stress condition, workloads of several population workflow instances will also be experimented.
 The objective of pilot use case level testing is to verify the proper functioning of the Lynx platform from the customer perspective. With this purpose, use case testing will be experimented, a black box software testing technique in which the tester follows the steps defined by the use cases and verify that they work as expected.

description: We study the chemical and kinematic properties of the first galaxies that formed at high redshift, using high-resolution cosmological numerical simulations, and compare them with the recent observational results for the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy of Tolstoy et al., who found two distinct stellar populations: the lower metallicity stars are more spatially extended and possess a higher velocity dispersion than the higher metallicity stars. Our calculations reproduce these observations as the result of a steep metallicity gradient within a single population, induced by dissipative collapse of the gas component. We also predict strong [N/O] enhancements in the lowest metallicity stars in dwarf spheroidals, due to the preferential retention of ejected gas from intermediate-mass stars, compared to Type II supernovae.

description: In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework that governs the evolution of epidemic dynamics, encompassing both intra-population dynamics and inter-population mobility within a metapopulation network. By linearizing this dynamical system, we can identify the spatial starting point(s), namely the source(s) (A) and the initiation time (B) of any epidemic, which we refer to as the "Big Bang" of the epidemic. Furthermore, we introduce a novel concept of effective distance to track disease spread within the network. Our analysis reveals that the contagion geometry can be represented as a line with a universal slope, independent of disease type (R0) or mobility network configuration. The mathematical derivations presented in this framework are corroborated by empirical data, including observations from the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran and the US, as well as the H1N1 outbreak worldwide. Within this framework, in order to detect the Big Bang of an epidemic we require two types of data: A) A snapshot of the active infected cases in each subpopulation during the linear phase. B) A coarse-grained representation of inter-population mobility. Also even with access to only type A data, we can still demonstrate the universal contagion geometric pattern. Additionally, we can estimate errors and assess the precision of the estimations. This comprehensive approach enhances our understanding of when and where epidemics began and how they spread, and equips us with valuable insights for developing effective public health policies and mitigating the impact of infectious diseases on populations worldwide.

description: There is little information on the private lives of women engaged in sex work, particularly how power dynamics within intimate relationships may affect intimate partner violence (IPV). Using baseline data of sex workers enrolled in a longitudinal cohort, ‘AESHA’ (An Evaluation of Sex Workers’ Health Access), the present study examined the association between sexual relationship power and IPV among sex workers in non-commercial partnerships in Vancouver, Canada. Pulweritz's Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS) and The World Health Organization (WHO) Intimate Partner Violence Against Women scale (Version9.9) were used. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression techniques were used to investigate the potential confounding effect of sexual relationship power on IPV among sex workers. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. Of 510 sex workers, 257 (50.4%) reported having an non-commercial intimate partner and were included in this analysis. In the past 6 months, 84 (32.7%) sex workers reported IPV (physical, sexual or emotional). The median age was 32 years, 39.3% were of Aboriginal ancestry, and 27.6% were migrants. After controlling for known confounders (e.g., age, Aboriginal ancestry, migrant status, childhood trauma, non-injection drug use), low relationship power was independently associated with 4.19 increased odds (95% CI: 1.93-9.10) and medium relationship power was associated 1.95 increased odds (95% CI:0.89-4.25) of IPV. This analysis highlights how reduced control over sexual-decision making is plays a critical role in IPV among sex workers, and calls for gender-focused and coupled-based interventions tailored to noncommercial intimate partnerships of sex workers.

description: Despite evidence globally of the heavy HIV burden among sex workers (SWs) as well as other poor health outcomes, including violence, SWs are often excluded from accessing voluntary, confidential and non-coercive health services, including HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. This study therefore assessed the prevalence and association with regular HIV testing among street- and off-street SWs in Vancouver, Canada. Cross-sectional baseline data were used from a longitudinal cohort known as "An Evaluation of Sex Worker's Health Access" (AESHA; January 2010-July 2012). This cohort included youth and adult SWs (aged 14+ years). We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the relationship between explanatory variables and having a recent HIV test (in the last year). Of the 435 seronegative SWs included, 67.1% reported having a recent HIV test. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, having a recent HIV test remained significantly independently associated with elevated odds of inconsistent condom use with clients [adjusted (multivariable) odds ratios, AOR: 2.59, 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]: 1.17-5.78], injecting drugs (AOR: 2.33, 95% CIs: 1.17-4.18) and contact with a mobile HIV prevention programme (AOR: 1.76, 95% CIs: 1.09-2.84) within the last six months. Reduced odds of having a recent HIV test was also significantly associated with being a migrant/new immigrant to Canada (AOR: 0.33, 95% CIs: 0.19-0.56) and having a language barrier to health care access (AOR: 0.26, 95% CIs: 0.09-0.73). Our results highlight successes of reaching SWs at high risk of HIV through drug and sexual pathways. To maximize the effectiveness of including HIV testing as part of comprehensive HIV prevention and care to SWs, increased mobile outreach and safer-environment interventions that facilitate access to voluntary, confidential and non-coercive HIV testing remain a critical priority, in addition to culturally safe services with language support.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

Bias driven circular current in a ring nanojunction: Critical role of environmental interaction

description: The specific role of environmental interaction on bias driven circular current in a ring nanojunction is explored within a tight-binding framework based on wave-guide theory. The environmental interaction is implemented through disorder in backbone sites where these sites are directly coupled to parent lattice sites of the ring via single bonds. In absence of backbone disorder circular current becomes zero for a lengthwise symmetric nanojunction, while it increases with disorder which is quite unusual, and after reaching a maximum it eventually drops to zero in the limit of high disorder. The effects of ring-electrode interface configuration, ring-backbone coupling, different types of backbone disorder and system temperature are critically investigated. All the studied results are valid for a broad range of physical parameters, giving us confidence that the outcomes of this theoretical work can be verified experimentally. To make this study self-contained, we also discuss the feasibility of detecting bias-driven circular current and provide design guidelines for implementing our proposed quantum system in a laboratory.

description: Configurative and morphological studies harness indicators to support conceptual and spatial frameworks specific to formal models of cities. However, the presence of new indicators, the scale of territories, and morphological methods are not only revising the praxis of configurative approaches; they collectively impact how and in what way the knowledge transfer occurs within educational settings. This paper explains how the contextual setting of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) as an urban agglomeration (UA) shifts the morphological framework in both its analytic tools and in its design premise. The paper covers the crossover to gamification (gameboarding) as a 'design and test' methodology providing a step-by-step account of rapid and succinct gameboarding phases for morphological studies. With close to 17 speculative models and three years of a collaborative studio, conclusions are drawn on the value of hybridizing morphological education with gamification, challenging uniform planning practices for future development within complex ecosystems.
Intraband collective excitations in fractional Chern insulators are dark

description: The low-energy collective excitations of semiconductors and insulators often couple strongly to light, allowing them to be probed optically. We argue here that in fractional Chern insulators intra-band collective excitations are dark in the sense that they couple anomalously weakly to light. This conclusion is based on a relationship between ideal quantum geometry and the structure factor of a Chern band, and on a classical plasma analogy motivated by the vortexibility property of ideal Chern bands.

title: The triple legacy of Olympic cities : a morphological assessment of Olympic stadia
Creators: name: Brown, Laura

description: The Summer Olympic Games have the ability to significantly change the urban fabric through modification of the existing or the redevelopment of sites, depending on the choice of site procurement (Gold & Gold, 2008). Over the course of the twentieth century, models and visions for Olympic urban development shifted as the possibility for events to create infrastructural change in host cities and regenerate urban areas was realised. Whilst this had potential benefits for host cities, it also brought challenges for reuse, raising concerns around the sustainability of mega events. To deliver a more sustainable Games (International Olympic Committee (IOC), 2018), the current trend is to reuse existing buildings constructed for previous Olympics or other mega events. To assess the impact of the Games on the urban fabric, this study performs a historic survey of Olympic sites in three cities that have thrice been awarded the Summer Olympic Games (Paris 1900, 1924, 2024, London 1908, 1948, 2012, and Los Angeles 1932, 1984, 2028) through different periods of Olympic urban development. To appraise morphological changes to the urban fabric surrounding stadia: changes in density and size of building footprints are analysed in the 3 periods: before, during and after the construction of venues. Through the comparison of Olympic stadia, this paper examines the impact of implementing large individual buildings on the urban fabric. The implications of this study can help in making more informed choices in site procurement (city centre, urban fringe, or brownfield), scale of urban interventions and the benefit of reusing or upgrading existing venues in large scale events for a more resilient city.
Future Professional Communication in Astronomy Meeting – Opening Comments

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Astronomy

description: The first FPCA colloquium held in June 2007 at Brussels Royal Academy made quietly history as, for the first time ever, it gathered together all major partners – publishers, editors, archive managers, officers of learned societies, as well as scientists – involved in professional astronomy communication processes. It had been motivated by a convergence of facts and trends in the world of publishing (more generally of astronomy professional communication), as well as by fundamental interrogations from within the astronomy community. This introductory talk will remind history, set up pieces of context, and put forward a few issues that should be addressed.
title: Urban form related to historical patterns, morphogenesis, and transformations. The case of "La Tola" in the city of Quito, Ecuador
Creators: name: Bucheli, Gonzalo Hoyos
Publisher: name: University of Strathclyde Publishing
Year: 2022

description: The city of Quito, like many Latin American cities, is going through an extensive urban growth process. Therefore, it caused different morphological patterns with their problems and characteristics. One of the most severe repercussions of extensive growth is undoubted the deterioration of the heritage areas that include the Historical Center, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. "La Tola", located in the limits of this Historical Center, constitutes a traditional neighborhood of the city, which appeared as an extension of the Historical Center in the mid-20th century and holds a cultural tradition. "La Tola" is settled on a hill, leading to a semi-radial pattern that contrasts with the orthogonal grid pattern of the Historical Center. Growth sub-patterns of the urban fabric in "La Tola" show different morphological characteristics within the same neighborhood. This study is based on an analysis of urban form, which includes analyzing the demographics, streets, plots, and buildings, in contrast to the current regulations. It shows, as in other areas of Quito, an informal phenomenon of overuse of the ground floor and underutilization of height build potential. The results also demonstrate that current regulations do not correspond to the different morphological sub-patterns. Continuous population decline has resulted in the deterioration and poor quality of the urban built space.
Minimum+1 Steiner Cuts and Dual Edge Sensitivity Oracle: Bridging the Gap between Global cut and (s,t)-cut
Creators: name: Bhanja, Koustav

description: Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected multi-graph on $n=|V|$ vertices and $S\subseteq V$ be a Steiner set. Steiner cut is a fundamental concept; moreover, global cut $(|S|=n)$, as well as (s,t)-cut $(|S|=2)$, is just a special case of Steiner cut. We study Steiner cuts of capacity minimum+1, and as an important application, we provide a dual edge Sensitivity Oracle for Steiner mincut.
 A compact data structure for cuts of capacity minimum+1 has been designed for both global cuts [STOC 1995] and (s,t)-cuts [TALG 2023]. Moreover, both data structures are also used crucially to design a dual edge Sensitivity Oracle for their respective mincuts. Unfortunately, except for these two extreme scenarios of Steiner cuts, no generalization of these results is known. Therefore, to address this gap, we present the following first results on Steiner cuts.
 1. Data Structure: There is an $O(n(n-|S|+1))$ space data structure that can determine in $O(1)$ time whether a given pair of vertices is separated by a Steiner cut of capacity at least minimum+1. It can report such a cut, if it exists, in $O(n)$ time.
 2. Sensitivity Oracle: (a) There is an $O(n(n-|S|+1))$ space data structure that, after the failure/insertion of any pair of edges, can report the capacity of Steiner mincut in $O(1)$ time and a Steiner mincut in $O(n)$ time. (b) If we are interested in reporting only the capacity, there is a more compact data structure that occupies $O((n-|S|)^2+n)$ space and reports the capacity in $O(1)$ time after the failure/insertion of any pair of edges.
 3. Lower Bound: For undirected multi-graphs, for every Steiner set $S$, any data structure that, after the failure or insertion of any pair of edges, can report the capacity of Steiner mincut must occupy $Ω((n-|S|)^2)$ bits of space, irrespective of the query time.

description: Motivated by a recent experiment reporting the fractional quantum spin Hall effect in twisted ${\rm MoTe}_2$, we investigate microscopically the prospects of realizing exotic topologically ordered states beyond conventional quantum Hall physics. We show that a non-Abelian spin Hall insulator, a state of two copies of the non-Abelian Moore-Read state, can be stabilized at half filling of time-reversal conjugate Chern bands. We elucidate that the existence of this phase relies on the reduction of opposite-spin interactions at short distances to overcome the Ising ferromagnetism. Moreover, we demonstrate that band mixing provides a generic mechanism for this reduction to be achieved. Quite remarkably, we find that a renormalization of opposite-spin interactions at short distances as small as 15 % of the moiré period is sufficient for a direct transition to a completely spin unpolarized phase which supports the non-Abelian spin Hall insulator. Furthermore, we show that the non-Abelian spin Hall insulator can either break time-reversal symmetry or preserve it depending on the underlying topological order.
