description: We present a method for optimization of the multi-turn injection effciency for medical synchrotron. We show that for given injection energy the injection efficiency can be greatly enhanced by choosing transverse tunes appropriately as well as optimizing the injection bump and the number of turns required for beam injection. We verify our study by applying the method to the Korea Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator (KHIMA) synchrotron which is currently built at the campus of Dongnam Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (DIRAMS) in Busan, Korea. First the frequency map analysis is performed with the help of ELEGANT and ACCSIM codes. The tunes which yield the good injection efficiency are then selected. With these tunes the injection bump and the number of turns required for injection are then optimized by tracking a number of particles up to one thousand turns after injection beyond which there is no further beam loss. Results for optimization of the injection efficiency for proton ion are presented.

Creators: name: Harvey, Dayle
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: forensic intelligence, police, social networks, big data, crime

description: International research shows that forensic intelligence can improve the criminal analysis process. This research project aims to map the Belgian intelligence landscape. This specifically includes the institutions, laws, and actors who govern this area. The research will examine the forensic data and the conditions by which it is obtained and organized. Further, we will examine the feasibility and added value of a forensic intelligence tool in Belgium. This task will include statistical analysis of crime data and social network theory to compare police-only record data and forensic intelligence data. This will result in recommendations and structural guidelines at a strategic level to guide criminal policy decision-makers on how to move forward with a forensic intelligence tool. The aim of the project is for a better understanding of forensic intelligence as a whole and to contribute to scientifically-based recommendations for relevant actors.
Spin glass behavior in a random Coulomb antiferromagnet

description: We study spin glass behavior in a random Ising Coulomb antiferromagnet in two and three dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. In two dimensions, we find a transition at zero temperature with critical exponents consistent with those of the Edwards Anderson model, though with large uncertainties. In three dimensions, evidence for a finite-temperature transition, as occurs in the Edwards-Anderson model, is rather weak. This may indicate that the sizes are too small to probe the asymptotic critical behavior, or possibly that the universality class is different from that of the Edwards-Anderson model and has a lower critical dimension equal to three.

The wonderful compactification for quantum groups

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we introduce a quantum version of the wonderful compactification of a group as a certain noncommutative projective scheme. Our approach stems from the fact that the wonderful compactification encodes the asymptotics of matrix coefficients, and from its realization as a GIT quotient of the Vinberg semigroup. In order to define the wonderful compactification for a quantum group, we adopt a generalized formalism of $\mathsf{Proj}$ categories in the spirit of Artin and Zhang. Key to our construction is a quantum version of the Vinberg semigroup, which we define as a $q$-deformation of a certain Rees algebra, compatible with a standard Poisson structure. Furthermore, we discuss quantum analogues of the stratification of the wonderful compactification by orbits for a certain group action, and provide explicit computations in the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2$.

description: We demonstrate experimentally that optical phase conjugation can be used to focus light through strongly scattering media even when far less than a photon per optical degree of freedom is detected. We found that the best achievable intensity contrast is equal to the total number of detected photons, as long as the resolution of the system is high enough. Our results demonstrate that phase conjugation can be used even when the photon budget is extremely low, such as in high-speed focusing through dynamic media, or imaging deep inside tissue.

description: We consider an equation of the form $y'(t) + Ay(t) = 0, \ t \in [0, \infty)$, where $A$ is a nonnegative self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space. We give direct and inverse theorems on approximation of solutions of this equation with its entire solutions of exponential type. This establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the order of convergence to $0$ of the best approximation of a solution and its smoothness degree. The results are illustrated with an example, where the operator $A$ is generated by a second order elliptic differential expression in the space $L_{2}(Ω)$ \ (the domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is bounded with smooth boundary) and a certain boundary condition.

These stories explore strange worlds with exaggerated, genre-bending elements that pull from fabulism, surrealism, and horror. The worlds I have constructed on the page create states of abjection for the characters, who often already consider themselves societal outcasts. Many of the stories deal with violence against women and women seeking various forms of liberation in a patriarchal society, but I am also exploring the implications of late-stage capitalism and environmental destruction.

description: Expanding the frontiers of information processing technologies and, in particular, computing with ever increasing speed and capacity has long been recognized an important societal challenge, calling for the development of the next generation of quantum technologies. With its potential to exponentially increase computing power, quantum computing opens up possibilities to carry out calculations that ordinary computers could not finish in the lifetime of the Universe, while optical communications based on quantum cryptography become completely secure. At the same time, the emergence of Big Data and the ever increasing demands of miniaturization and energy saving technologies bring about additional fundamental problems and technological challenges to be addressed in scientific disciplines dealing with light-matter interactions. In this context, quantum plasmonics represents one of the most promising and fundamental research directions and, indeed, the only one that enables ultimate miniaturization of photonic components for quantum optics when being taken to extreme limits in light-matter interactions.

New results on the laser-accessible nuclear transition in Thorium-229
Creators: name: Schumm, Thorsten
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: atomic clock, thorium

description: Video and pdf overview of the talk given by Thorsten Schumm The radio isotope Thorium-229 is expected to present a remarkably low-energy excited (isomer) state of the nucleus which is expected around 10 eV. It might hence be possible to directly excite the atomic nucleus with UV (laser) radiation, creating a bridge between atomic and nuclear physics. The (expected) narrow line width of the transition and the intrinsic robustness of nuclear transitions to external fields makes it a promising candidate for a new frequency standard - a "nuclear clock". In this presentation we will review the current state of knowledge on the low-energy nuclear transition in Thorium-229 and the ongoing quest to measure it’s exact energy.

description: We present evidence for a small glitch in the spin evolution of the millisecond pulsar J0613$-$0200, using the EPTA Data Release 1.0, combined with Jodrell Bank analogue filterbank TOAs recorded with the Lovell telescope and Effelsberg Pulsar Observing System TOAs. A spin frequency step of 0.82(3) nHz and frequency derivative step of ${-1.6(39) \times 10^{-19}\,\text{Hz} \ \text{s}^{-1}}$ are measured at the epoch of MJD 50888(30). After PSR B1821$-$24A, this is only the second glitch ever observed in a millisecond pulsar, with a fractional size in frequency of ${Δν/ν=2.5(1) \times 10^{-12}}$, which is several times smaller than the previous smallest glitch. PSR J0613$-$0200 is used in gravitational wave searches with pulsar timing arrays, and is to date only the second such pulsar to have experienced a glitch in a combined 886 pulsar-years of observations. We find that accurately modelling the glitch does not impact the timing precision for pulsar timing array applications. We estimate that for the current set of millisecond pulsars included in the International Pulsar Timing Array, there is a probability of $\sim 50$% that another glitch will be observed in a timing array pulsar within 10 years.

description: Topological superconductors can host Majorana quasiparticles which supersede the fermion/boson dichotomy and offer a pathway to fault tolerant quantum computation. In one-dimensional systems zero-energy Majorana states are bound to the ends of the topologically superconducting regions. An experimental signature of a Majorana bound state is a conductance peak at zero source-drain voltage bias in a tunneling experiment. Here, we identify the bulk topological phase in a semiconductor nanowire coupled to a conventional superconductor. We map out its phase diagram through the dependence of zero-bias peak on the chemical potential and magnetic field. Our findings are consistent with calculations for a finite-length topological nanowire. Knowledge of the phase diagram makes it possible to predictably tune nanowire segments in and out of the topological phase, thus controlling the positions and couplings of multiple Majorana bound states. This ability is a prerequisite for Majorana braiding, an experiment in which Majorana quantum states are exchanged in order to both demonstrate their non-abelian character and realize topological quantum bits.

description: In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), sound sensing applications are required to run on embedded platforms where notions of product pricing and form factor impose hard constraints on the available computing power. Whereas Automatic Environmental Sound Recognition (AESR) algorithms are most often developed with limited consideration for computational cost, this article seeks which AESR algorithm can make the most of a limited amount of computing power by comparing the sound classification performance em as a function of its computational cost. Results suggest that Deep Neural Networks yield the best ratio of sound classification accuracy across a range of computational costs, while Gaussian Mixture Models offer a reasonable accuracy at a consistently small cost, and Support Vector Machines stand between both in terms of compromise between accuracy and computational cost.

Parental Narratives of Autism Diagnosis Reflecting Experiences During the Years 2000 to 2016
Creators: name: M. Machalski, Janet
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2025

description: This research is informed by my insider perspective. My intentions are to maximise parental voice and consider the change in autism classification in 2013. The study involves analysis of parental narratives concerning their child’s experience of autism before, during, and after autism diagnosis. There were two groups of parents. After advertising for participants and purposeful sampling a group of ten was formed. One group had children who received an autism diagnosis at least 10 years previously and the other had children who received an autism diagnosis up to three years ago. Narratives were formed from recordings of unstructured interviews. A combined analysis of four qualitative methods was used to maximise the findings within the study. Thus, it was possible to investigate changes in these parents’ experience of autism diagnosis in their child over a period of approximately 16 years. Findings suggest that knowledge of autism improved in the community during this period. Support was also suggested to have improved in schools, as did the length of delay in gaining an autism diagnosis. Further insights that emerged included possible measures to manage camouflage and greater understanding of mental health issues associated with autism in their children. The importance of this study is recognition that knowledge of autism must be maintained in the community to ensure appropriate support is given. It suggests the importance of providing a bank of individual, varied stories to assist parents and young adults to understand experiences of autism in their child over time to maximise appropriate support. Additionally, the study provides findings relevant to those within the autism community that may assist policy makers, teachers, parents, and health workers as they plan future support for autistic young people.

This top-down exercise in effective field theory is meant primarily to illustrate with a simple example the systematics of the linear and nonlinear electroweak effective Lagrangians and to clarify the relation between them. We discuss power-counting aspects and the transition between both effective theories on the basis of the model, confirming in all cases the rules and procedures derived in previous works from a bottom-up approach.

Leverage from factory acceptance test, site acceptance test, and commissioning into qualifications using a filler of a packaging line as a model in the pharmaceutical industry
Creators: name: Colón Donato, Marvin
Publisher: name: ProQuest; Ann Arbor
Year: 2010

description: The leverage process from Factory Acceptance Test, Site Acceptance Test, and Commissioning into Qualification was evaluated to identify the components required and the regulatory requirements currently available. After the evaluation performed, a functional unit of a pharmaceutical industry was used as a prototype or model to perform the leverage process. A filler machine was selected since it is commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. A total of 32 tests for commissioning and for qualification were developed. From the 32 tests, 13 IQ tests were leveraged for a 41% which represent a cost saving of 28% of the qualification and $650.00 less in the total execution cost. Therefore, the time taken to have the filler machine qualified can be traduced about 28% less of the time expected to complete the qualification exercise of the packaging line Therefore, it can be concluded based on the previous analysis that the leverage process reduces times and costs during the execution of the project, and accelerates the delivery of the product on time to the end user in this competitive environment of the pharmaceutical industry.

description: Projektmanagement vollzieht derzeit einen Wandel hin zu mehr Agilität. Das klassische Projektmanagement wurde wesentlich in den 90er Jahren geprägt und durch internationale (uneinheitliche) Standards beschrieben. Charakterisiert sind diese als plangetrieben. Agilität stellt demgegenüber empirische Prozesskontrolle in den Vordergrund. Allerdings sind die bekannten agilen Vorgehensweisen nicht vollständig zu vielen Teildomänen, wie etwa Risikomanagement, fehlen explizite Ausführungen. Auf der anderen Seite sind die klassischen Standards, geprägt durch ihre jeweilige Entstehungsgeschichte, mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten versehen, die auch als Stärken und Schwächen ausgelegt werden können. Im PMI-Modell ist beispielsweise kaum etwas zu Kundenprojekten zu finden, im DIN-Modell wird Projektmanagement in Phasen eingeteilt etc. Dies führte zur Entwicklung des vorliegenden vereinheitlichten Projektmanagement-Referenzmodells - dem Unified Project Management Framework, UPMF. Das UPMF enthält im Kern Projektmanagement-Prozesse, -Disziplinen und -Rollen... ergänzt um Erfolgsfaktoren, Kompetenzen und Methoden. Dabei wurde wenn möglich auf die bewährten Standards zurückgegriffen... ergänzt um Elemente agiler und Lean-Methoden sowie langjährige Praxiserfahrungen. Das UPMF hat den Anspruch, universell und kompakt zu sein. Dies wird unterstrichen durch überwiegend tabellarische Darstellungen und das daraus abgeleitete Werkzeug UPMF-Navigator. Es ist in der vorliegenden Form im Rahmen konzeptioneller Arbeiten im Labor für Prozess- und Projektmanagement der Technischen Hochschule Mittelhessen, Fachbereich Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, entstanden und will dem Leser die entsprechenden Instrumente an die Hand geben.

description: We consider a simple investment project with the following parameters: I>0: Initial investment which is amortizable in n years; n: Number of years the investment allows production with constant output per year; A>0: Annual amortization (A=I/n); Q>0: Quantity of products sold per year; Cv>0: Variable cost per unit; p>0: Price of the product with p>Cv; Cf>0: Annual fixed costs; te: Tax of earnings; r: Annual discount rate. We also assume inflation is negligible. We derive a closed expression of the financial break-even point Qf (i.e. the value of Q for which the net present value (NPV) is zero) as a function of the parameters I, n, Cv, Cf, te, r, p. We study the behavior of Qf as a function of the discount rate r and we prove that: (i) For r negligible Qf equals the accounting break-even point Qc (i.e. the earnings before taxes (EBT) is null) ; (ii) When r is large the graph of the function Qf=Qf(r) has an asymptotic straight line with positive slope. Moreover, Qf(r) is an strictly increasing and convex function of the variable r; (iii) From a sensitivity analysis we conclude that, while the influence of p and Cv on Qf is strong, the influence of Cf on Qf is weak.

Nonlinear regimes in mean-field full-sphere dynamo

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mean-field dynamo model is employed to study the non-linear dynamo regimes in a fully convective star of mass 0.3$M_{\odot}$ rotating with period of 10 days. For the intermediate value of the parameter of the turbulent magnetic Prandl number, $Pm_{T}=3$ we found the oscillating dynamo regimes with period about 40Yr. The higher $Pm_{T}$ results to longer dynamo periods. If the large-scale flows is fixed we find that the dynamo transits from axisymmetric to non-axisymmetric regimes for the overcritical parameter of the $α$effect. The change of dynamo regime occurs because of the non-axisymmetric non-linear $α$-effect. The situation persists in the fully non-linear dynamo models with regards of the magnetic feedback on the angular momentum balance and the heat transport in the star. It is found that the large-scale magnetic field quenches the latitudinal shear in the bulk of the star. However, the strong radial shear operates in the subsurface layer of the star. In the nonlinear case the profile of the angular velocity inside the star become close to the spherical surfaces. This supports the equator-ward migration of the axisymmetric magnetic field dynamo waves. It was found that, the magnetic configuration of the star dominates by the regular non-axisymmetric mode m=1, forming Yin Yang magnetic polarity pattern with the strong (>500 G) poloidal magnetic field in polar regions.

Gyrokinetic stability theory of electron-positron plasmas
Creators: name: Helander, Per

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The linear gyrokinetic stability properties of magnetically confined electron-positron plasmas are investigated in the parameter regime most likely to be relevant for the first laboratory experiments involving such plasmas, where the density is small enough that collisions can be ignored and the Debye length substantially exceeds the gyroradius. Although the plasma beta is very small, electromagnetic effects are retained, but magnetic compressibility can be neglected. The work of a previous publication (Helander, 2014) is thus extended to include electromagnetic instabilities, which are of importance in closed-field-line configurations, where such instabilities can occur at arbitrarily low pressure. It is found that gyrokinetic instabilities are completely absent if the magnetic field is homogeneous: any instability must involve magnetic curvature or shear. Furthermore, in dipole magnetic fields, the stability threshold for interchange modes with wavelengths exceeding the Debye radius coincides with that in ideal MHD. Above this threshold, the quasilinear particle flux is directed inward if the temperature gradient is sufficiently large, leading to spontaneous peaking of the density profile.

description: Experiments on the formation of magnesium complexes in $^4$He nanodroplets were interpreted as the observation of the formation of weakly bound magnesium complexes. We present results for single Mg and Mg dimer solvation using the hypernetted chain / Euler-Lagrange method as well as path integral Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the phonon-mediated, indirect Mg-Mg interaction adds an oscillatory component to the direct Mg-Mg interaction. We undertake a step-by-step examination of the ingredients of the calculation of the phonon-induced interaction, comparing the results of semi-analytic HNC-EL calculations for bulk and single impurity results with experiments as well as Monte Carlo data. We do not find evidence for a sufficiently strong secondary minimum in the effective Mg-Mg interaction to support a metastable state.

description: Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are valuable tools to study metabolism and provide a scaffold for the integrative analysis of omics data. GEMs often encompass thousands of reactions, metabolites and genes, whose manipulation require complex data structures.

Metabolic Atlas, through the web platform available at https://metabolicatlas.org, aims to make the entire GEM content available for easy navigation. This is achieved through both tabular and map views (2D and 3D), each suited for different usage scenarios. In addition, Metabolic Atlas aims to meet the needs of the community through the development of specific tools and features though iterative releases.

Currently, Metabolic Atlas facilitates exploration and visualization of two open-source GEMs: Human1, an integration and extensive curation of the most recent human metabolic models (Robinson et al., 2020), and Yeast8, a consensus metabolic model for S. cerevisiae (Lu et al., 2019).

The history of Metabolic Atlas starts before 2015 (Pornputtapong et al., 2015). The present website has been re-developed from the ground up, following open-source standards. It was made publicly available mid 2019, and is now at version 1.7 (Robinson et al., 2020). We plan to continue the development in a tic-toc method: a major release altering the foundation of the website, followed by several smaller releases. We are actively engaging the community to address the challenges in accessing GEMs for curation, analysis and biological understanding, under the guidance of FAIR principles.

description: Background: The aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, but locally aggressive cystic lesion of the bone. It usually occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of adolescents and young adults but can also affect the pelvis. Methods: This single-center study is a retrospective review of 17 patients with primary ABCs of the pelvis. It examines the importance of polidocanol instillations as minimally invasive treatment option for ABCs of the pelvis compared to intralesional curettage or marginal resection. Results: Seventeen patients with the diagnosis of a primary ABC of the pelvis were included in the study. Six patients were male (35%) and 11 patients female (65%); the mean age was 18 (9-49) years. The mean follow-up time was 50 months (12-136 months). The most common location of manifestation was the pubis (6; 35%), followed by the ilium (6; 35%), the sacrum (3; 18%) and the ischium (2; 12%). Eight patients were treated by intralesional curettage with the use of adjuvants, one patient by marginal resection, seven by sequential instillation of polidocanol and one patient by simple observation. Five patients received an additional transarterial embolization. After intralesional curettage local recurrence was detected in 4/8 cases (50%). After instillation therapy six patients (86%) had a stable disease without recurrence, only one patient (14%) had a persistent disease with need of additional treatment and was therefore converted to intralesional curettage without local recurrence in the follow-up. Conclusions: Sequential instillations of polidocanol are a promising, minimally invasive treatment method for ABCs of the pelvis and can be well combined with transarterial embolization.

description: Spin excitations are explored in the electron-doped spin-orbit Mott insulator (Sr$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$)$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$. As this bilayer square lattice system is doped into the metallic regime, long-range antiferromagnetism vanishes, yet a spectrum of gapped spin excitation remains. Excitation lifetimes are strongly damped with increasing carrier concentration, and the energy integrated spectral weight becomes nearly momentum independent as static spin order is suppressed. Local magnetic moments, absent in the parent system, grow in metallic samples and approach values consistent with one $J=\frac{1}{2}$ impurity per electron doped. Our combined data suggest that the magnetic spectra of metallic (Sr$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$)$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ are best described by excitations out of a disordered dimer state.

description: In the years after the .com crisis of 2000 and the financial crisis of 2008 it became essential for enterprises to become resilient or antifragile to survive external stressors. Research states that the current VUCA world will expose enterprises to more and more stressors. Resilience is the way how a system bounce back from impact by a stressor. Antifragile is the way a system improves by impact by a stressor. This thesis combines literature research on resilience with the antifragile attributes found in the literature and variety engineering into one model. The research provided in this thesis enables leadership of an organisation to determine if the organisation should aim to be antifragile or a specific type of resilience. After this determination the model in this thesis enables leadership to determine which attributes to include into their enterprise design. According to the theory the model might also be applied to generic system design including technology infrastructure, software systems etc. The validation of the application in these domains are outside the scope of this thesis.

description: We compute (pseudo)critical temperature, $T_c$, of chiral symmetry restoration for quark matter in the background of parallel electric and magnetic fields. This field configuration leads to the production of a chiral medium on a time scale $τ$, characterized by a nonvanishing value of the chiral density that equilibrates due to microscopic processes in the thermal bath. We estimate the relaxation time $τ$ to be about $\approx 0.1-1$ fm/c around the chiral crossover; then we compute the effect of the fields and of the chiral medium on~$T_c$. We find $T_c$ to be lowered by the external fields in the chiral medium.

description: Für die Planung einer zielorientierten logopädischen Therapie der Sprechapraxie ist eine umfassende Diagnostik notwendig. Die HWL-kompakt Zürichdeutsch sind ein Nachsprechtest mit 48 Items basierend auf den standarddeutschen HWL-kompakt. Es handelt sich bei den HWL-kompakt Zürichdeutsch um vom Standarddeutschen ins Schweizerdeutsche übertragene Wortlisten. Diese wurden bisher weder in der Praxis angewendet noch auf ihre Güte geprüft. Das Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit war es, die Qualität der Auswertung der zürichdeutschen Wortlisten zu evaluieren. Für die Überprüfung wurde folgende Forschungsfrage formuliert: Wie stimmen die Auswertungen der HWL-kompakt Zürichdeutsch bezüglich der Anzahl korrekter Items in den Fehlerkategorien (phonematisch, phonetisch, Redefluss), gesamthaft korrekter sowie nicht auswertbarer Items und die Konsistenzwerte wie auch die qualitative Schweregradeinschätzung von zwei Raterinnen bei Erwachsenen mit einer diagnostizierten Sprechapraxie überein? Die Forschungsfrage wurde anhand einer Stichprobe von 5 Teilnehmenden untersucht, welche mit einer Sprechapraxie diagnostiziert sind und den Dialekt Zürichdeutsch sprechen. Die HWL-kompakt Zürichdeutsch wurden mit jeder teilnehmenden Person gemäss Manual durchgeführt und von zwei Beurteilerinnen unabhängig ausgewertet. Die Korrelationsanalyse ergab in allen sechs untersuchten Kategorien einen Korrelationskoeffizienten von r > 0.7. Die Auswertung der erhobenen Daten erzielte eine hohe Übereinstimmung zwischen den zwei Beurteilerinnen in allen Fehlerkategorien, den nicht auswertbaren Items, den korrekten Items und den Konsistenzwerten. Ebenso zeigte sich bei der qualitativen Einschätzung des Schweregrades der Sprechapraxie eine hohe Übereinstimmung zwischen den beiden Beurteilerinnen.

description: InGaAs/GaAsBi/InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) were grown on GaAs substrates by gas source molecular beam epitaxy for realizing the type II band-edge line-up. Both type I and type II transitions were observed in the Bi containing W QWs and the photoluminescence intensity was enhanced in the sample with a high Bi content, which is mainly due to the improvement of carrier confinement. Blue-shift of type II transitions at high excitation power density was observed and ascribed to the band-bending effect. The calculated transition energies based on 8 band k.p model fit well with the experiment results. The experimental and theoretical results show that the type-II QW design is a new promising candidate for realizing long wavelength GaAs-based light emitting devices near 1.3 um.

description: We study the interplay between collective and individual optically-induced magnetic responses in quadrumers made of identical dielectric nanoparticles. Unlike their plasmonic counterparts, all-dielectric nanoparticle clusters are shown to exhibit multiple dimensions of resonant magnetic responses that can be employed for the realization of anomalous scattering signatures. We focus our analysis on symmetric quadrumers made from silicon nanoparticles and verify our theoretical results in proof-of-concept radio frequency experiments demonstrating the existence of a novel type of magnetic Fano resonance in nanophotonics.

description: For gauge groups $U(1)$ and $SO(3)$ we classify invariant $G_2$-instantons for homogeneous coclosed $G_2$-structures on Aloff-Wallach spaces $X_{k,l}$. As a consequence, we give examples where $G_2$-instantons can be used to distinguish between different strictly nearly parallel $G_2$-structures on the same Aloff-Wallach space. In addition to this, we find that while certain $G_2$-instantons exist for the strictly nearly parallel $G_2$-structure on $X_{1,1}$, no such $G_2$-instantons exist for the tri-Sasakian one. As a further consequence of the classification, we produce examples of some other interesting phenomena, such as: irreducible $G_2$-instantons that, as the structure varies, merge into the same reducible and obstructed one; and $G_2$-instantons on nearly parallel $G_2$-manifolds that are not locally energy minimizing.

description: In conjunction with the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC), the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) runs a welcoming, self-organizing, non-competitive, and highly productive collaborative event called the CollaborationFest, or CoFest.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We will have a mix of experienced developers, users, trainers, and researchers, newcomers to experienced bioinformaticians, and everything in between.
Attendees will self-organize into working groups based on shared interests like programming languages, open source projects, or biological questions.

CollaborationFest is not a competition; there are no prizes. Rather its goals are to: grow and foster the contributor community for open source bioinformatics projects; extend, enhance, and otherwise improve open-source bioinformatics code and non-code artefacts, such as documentation and training materials.

This will be the 10th event since 2010, which we originally called the Coding Festival or CodeFest. Communities such as Galaxy, Common Workflow Language, Nextflow, and others have found CollaborationFest a fun, rewarding, and highly productive experience. As in previous years, a summary results of event will included in the BOSC meeting report.

CollaborationFest will take place the two days after BOSC, July 26-27, at The Swiss Innovation Hub for Personalized Medicine in Basel, Switzerland. Registration is free; sponsorships offset venue, coffee and snacks costs.
