description: Purpose/Objective: The increasing interest in pFLASH radiotherapy has recently sparked a renewed focus on patient-specific devices and passive scattering technique (PS), which is currently used for treating ocular tumours in PT. The drawback of this technique is the use of (expensive) custom devices, like collimators and compensators, designed for single-use. Our project seeks to improve the existing approach by developing a flexible setup for PS that can be adapted to different needs. In this study, we investigate the reproducibility of this new approach and its feasibility in the complex case of small target structures.  
	
Materials: Each collimating or compensating element consists of 3D-(filament)printed containers of PLA filled with reusable copper or polypropylene spheres, respectively. Collimator functionality can be improved using Copper-filled Metal Composite HTPLA filament for the cylinder surface of the bore.
We performed simulations in TOPAS-MC[1,2] and designed the elements using the modified Python package Porespy[3]. We evaluated the collimator's performance by comparing a solid collimator with the new proposed approach. As a feasibility study, we designed a PS setup of an eco-friendly compensator and collimator. 

Results: We validated the computational model for reproducing the new elements via depth dose curve and beam size measurement (Fig.1). The observed discrepancy between TOPAS and measurement falls within the detector’s inherent uncertainty. Simulations of collimating and compensating elements and experiments agree with a mean square error below 2%. We did not observe a difference in the dose profile between the solid and eco-friendly collimators for low energy. For higher energies (Fig.2A), the PLA in the inner cylinder affects the dose distribution, generating a dose halo around the aperture. The usage of more dense filaments (Copper-filled HTPLA) improves the results. 
To demonstrate the feasibility of this new PS approach, we designed and validated an “eco-friendly” setup for simple geometrical phantoms and more complex and challenging small structures like murine brain tumours (Fig.2B). 3D-printing allows the design of complex elements with low costs and within a short time (the total time required was <20min, and the filament costs <1$). 

Conclusion: We have proposed and validated an innovative, eco-friendly experimental setup that leverages the capabilities of 3D-printing. This method enables the creation of patient-specific shapes that can be produced quickly, owing to their hollow design. Additionally, by utilising reusable materials such as plastic or copper spheres, our approach reduces unnecessary waste. This development lowers costs, enhances conformity, and increases PS treatments and experiments' efficiency and environmental impact.

description: Fujiyabu et al. have experimentally reported that mixing of 3-arm star prepolymers into 4-arm analog improves the toughness of the resultant polymer networks compared to the base network composed of 4-arm star polymers only. For the mechanism of this phenomenon, this study conducted phantom chain simulations for polymer networks composed of mixtures of star branch prepolymers with equal arm length and different arm numbers, (f_1,f_2 )=(3,4), (3,6) and (3,8), for various f_1=3 prepolymer fractions ϕ_3. The networks were created via end-linking reactions between prepolymers traced by a Brownian dynamics scheme, and the network structure was stored at different conversion ratios ϕ_c, ranging from 0.6 and 0.9. The cycle rank of the gelated networks ξ is fully consistent with the mean field theory, demonstrating that the examined network structure is statistically fair. The networks were stretched with energy minimization until the break, and fracture characteristics including strain at break ε_b, stress at break σ_b, work for fracture W_b, and the ratio of broken strands ϕ_bb, were obtained. ε_b, σ_b/ϕ_bb, and W_b/ϕ_bb data plotted against ξ roughly follow the master curves reported for the base networks without mixing, implying that the change of fracture properties by the mixing of f_1=3 mainly corresponds to a decrease of ξ. The mixing slightly suppresses σ_b/ϕ_bb and W_b/ϕ_bb for large f_2 cases compared to the base networks because of a biased breakage at the network strands without extenders, which are prepolymers with only two reacted arms. The analysis for broken strands exhibited a new master curve for the ξ-dependence of the molecular weight of broken strands.

description: In this paper, we study the gravitational memory effect in pp-wave spacetimes due to the passage of a pulse having the form of a ramp profile through this spacetime. We have analyzed the effect of this pulse on the evolution of nearby geodesics, and have determined analytical solutions of the geodesic equations in the Brinkmann coordinates. We have also examined the changes in the separation between a pair of geodesics and their velocity profiles. The separation (along $ x $ or $ y $-direction) increases monotonically from an initial constant value. In contrast, the relative velocity grows from zero and settles to a final non-zero constant value. These resulting changes are retained as memory after the pulse dies out. The nature of this memory is similar to that determined by earlier workers using Gaussian, square, and other pulse profiles, thereby validating the universality of gravitational wave memory.

Governance Capture in a Self-Governing Community: A Qualitative Comparison of the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedias

description: What types of governance arrangements makes some self-governed online groups more vulnerable to disinformation campaigns? To answer this question, we present a qualitative comparative analysis of the Croatian and Serbian Wikipedia editions. We do so because between at least 2011 and 2020, the Croatian language version of Wikipedia was taken over by a small group of administrators who introduced far-right bias and outright disinformation; dissenting editorial voices were reverted, banned, and blocked. Although Serbian Wikipedia is roughly similar in size and age, shares many linguistic and cultural features, and faced similar threats, it seems to have largely avoided this fate. Based on a grounded theory analysis of interviews with members of both communities and others in cross-functional platform-level roles, we propose that the convergence of three features -- high perceived value as a target, limited early bureaucratic openness, and a preference for personalistic, informal forms of organization over formal ones -- produced a window of opportunity for governance capture on Croatian Wikipedia. Our findings illustrate that online community governing infrastructures can play a crucial role in systematic disinformation campaigns and other influence operations.

description: Quantum computing devices require exceptional control of their experimental parameters to prepare quantum states and simulate other quantum systems. Classical optimization procedures used to find such optimal control parameters, have further been shown in idealized settings to exhibit different regimes of learning. Of interest in this work is the overparameterization regime, where for systems with a sufficient number of parameters, global optima for prepared state and compiled unitary fidelities may potentially be reached exponentially quickly. Here, we study the robustness of overparameterization phenomena in the presence of experimental constraints on the controls, such as bounding or sharing parameters across operators, as well as in the presence of noise inherent to experimental setups. We observe that overparameterization phenomena are resilient in these realistic settings at short times, however fidelities decay to zero past a critical simulation duration due to accumulation of either quantum or classical noise. This critical depth is found to be logarithmic in the scale of noise, and optimal fidelities initially increase exponentially with depth, before decreasing polynomially with depth, and with noise. Our results demonstrate that parameterized ansatze can mitigate entropic effects from their environment, offering tantalizing opportunities for their application and experimental realization in near term quantum devices.

description: We consider a nearly collisionless plasma consisting of a species of `test particles' in 1D-1V, stirred by an externally imposed stochastic electric field. The mean effect on the particle distribution function is stochastic heating. Accompanying this heating is the generation of fine-scale structure in the distribution function, which we characterize with the collisionless (Casimir) invariant $C_2 \propto \iint dx dv \, \langle f^2 \rangle$. We find that $C_2$ is transferred from large scales to small scales in both position and velocity space via a phase-space cascade enabled by both particle streaming and nonlinear interactions between particles and the stochastic electric field. We compute the steady-state fluxes and spectrum of $C_2$ in Fourier space, with $k$ and $s$ denoting spatial and velocity wavenumbers, respectively. Whereas even the linear phase mixing alone would lead to a constant flux of $C_2$ to high $s$ (towards the collisional dissipation range) at every $k$, the nonlinearity accelerates this cascade by intertwining velocity and position space so that the flux of $C_2$ is to both high $k$ and high $s$ simultaneously. Integrating over velocity (spatial) wavenumbers, the $k$-space ($s$-space) flux of $C_2$ is constant down to a dissipation length (velocity) scale that tends to zero as the collision frequency does, even though the rate of collisional dissipation remains finite. The resulting spectrum in the inertial range is a self-similar function in the $(k,s)$ plane, with power-law asymptotics at large $k$ and $s$. We argue that stochastic heating is made irreversible by this entropy cascade and that, while collisional dissipation accessed via phase mixing occurs only at small spatial scales rather than at every scale as it would in a linear system, the cascade makes phase mixing even more effective overall in the nonlinear regime than in the linear one.

description: Cells that collide with each other repolarize away from contact, in a process called contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL), which is necessary for correct development of the embryo. CIL can occur even when cells make a micron-scale contact with a neighbor - much smaller than their size. How precisely can a cell sense cell-cell contact and repolarize in the correct direction? What factors control whether a cell recognizes it has contacted a neighbor? We propose a theoretical model for the limits of CIL where cells recognize the presence of another cell by binding the protein ephrin with the Eph receptor. This recognition is made difficult by the presence of interfering ligands that bind nonspecifically. Both theoretical predictions and simulation results show that it becomes more difficult to sense cell-cell contact when it is difficult to distinguish ephrin from the interfering ligands, or when there are more interfering ligands, or when the contact width decreases. However, the error of estimating contact position remains almost constant when the contact width changes. This happens because the cell gains spatial information largely from the boundaries of cell-cell contact. We study using statistical decision theory the likelihood of a false positive CIL event in the absence of cell-cell contact, and the likelihood of a false negative where CIL does not occur when another cell is present. Our results suggest that the cell is more likely to make incorrect decisions when the contact width is very small or so large that it nears the cell's perimeter. However, in general, we find that cells have the ability to make reasonably reliable CIL decisions even for very narrow (micron-scale) contacts, even if the concentration of interfering ligands is ten times that of the correct ligands.

description: We revisit gravitational wave (GW) memory as the key to measuring spacetime symmetries, extending beyond its traditional role in GW searches. In particular, we show how these symmetries may be probed via displacement and spin memory observations, respectively. We further find that the Einstein Telescope's (ET) sensitivity enables constraining the strain amplitude of a displacement memory to 2% and that of spin memory to 22%. Finally, we point out that neglecting memory could lead to an overestimation of measurement uncertainties for parameters of binary black hole (BBH) mergers by about 10% in ET.

description: In strongly confined flow geometries, red blood cells migrate normal to the flow direction, thereby altering the flow rheology of blood. Direct optical measurements can help to gain an improved understanding of these migration processes. In the present study, we demonstrate that astigmatism particle tracking velocimetry is a suitable 3D-particle tracking method that allows to directly measure both 3D concentration and velocity distributions of red blood cells in a flow. Red blood cells assume a non-spherical shape; therefore, the influence of their orientation on the reconstruction of the out-of-plane particle position is evaluated through a ray tracing approach of synthetic, astigmatic images. While for noise-free images, the resulting absolute out-of-plane reconstruction error σz is small for different red blood cell orientations (σz = 0.98 μm), it triples for experimentally relevant signal-to-noise ratios (SNR = 1.2). Reconstruction errors are compared to those of spherical particles. Overall, both the red blood cell orientation and the increase in signal-to-noise ratio induce similar out-of-plane reconstruction error values. Experimental analyses are also performed using both a red blood cell suspension system and a refractive index-matched suspension system of identical volume fraction (1.5%). Comparing results from the red blood cell suspension flow with those of the particulate suspension under identical parameters for volume fraction, particle Reynolds number, and bulk Reynolds number, a similarity in lateral migration behavior is observed under the given conditions. The results indicate that the absolute out-of-plane reconstruction error in the red blood cell suspension system (σz=4.50μm) is approximately 1.5 times larger compared to the refractive index-matched system.

description: This letter proposes a novel anti-interference technique, semantic interference cancellation (SemantIC), for enhancing information quality towards the sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. SemantIC only requires the receiver to concatenate the channel decoder with a semantic auto-encoder. This constructs a turbo loop which iteratively and alternately eliminates noise in the signal domain and the semantic domain. From the viewpoint of network information theory, the neural network of the semantic auto-encoder stores side information by training, and provides side information in iterative decoding, as an implementation of the Wyner-Ziv theorem. Simulation results verify the performance improvement by SemantIC without extra channel resource cost.

description: We propose an ansatz quantum circuit for the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), suitable for exploring the phase structure of the multi-flavor Schwinger model in the presence of a chemical potential. Our ansatz is capable of incorporating relevant model symmetries via constrains on the parameters, and can be implemented on circuit-based as well as measurement-based quantum devices. We show via classical simulation of the VQE that our ansatz is able to capture the phase structure of the model, and can approximate the ground state to a high level of accuracy. Moreover, we perform proof-of-principle simulations on superconducting, gate-based quantum hardware. Our results show that our approach is suitable for current gate-based quantum devices, and can be readily implemented on measurement-based quantum devices once available.

description: Crystal plasticity (CP) simulations are a tool for understanding how microstructure morphology and texture affect mechanical properties and are an essential component of elucidating the structure-property relations. However, it can be computationally expensive. Hence, data-driven machine learning models have been applied to predict the mean-field response of a polycrystal representative volume element to reduce computation time. In this work, we proposed a novel Deep Operator Network (DeepONet) architecture for predicting microstructure stress-strain response. It employs a convolutional neural network in the trunk to encode the microstructure. To account for different material properties, boundary conditions, and loading, we proposed using single crystal stress-strain curves as inputs to the branch network, furnishing a material-response-informed DeepONet. Using four numerical examples, we demonstrate that the current DeepONet can be trained on a single material and loading and then generalized to new conditions via transfer learning. Results show that using single crystal responses as input outperforms a similar model using material properties as inputs and overcomes limitations with changing boundary conditions and temporal resolution. In all cases, the new model achieved a $R^2$ value of above 0.99, and over 95\% of predicted stresses have a relative error of $\le$ 5\%, indicating superior accuracy. With as few as 20 new data points and under 1min training time, the trained DeepONet can be fine-tuned to generate accurate predictions on different materials and loading. Once trained, the prediction speed is almost $1\times10^{4}$ times faster the CP simulations. The efficiency and high generalizability of our DeepONet render it a powerful data-driven surrogate model for CP simulations in multi-scale analyses.

description: Anisotropic shear relaxation is an interesting but rarely discussed issue in polymer dynamics under confinement [Abberton et al., Macromolecules, 48, 7631, 2015]. According to the earlier study of bead spring simulations for an unentangled polymer melt confined between two flat plates, the shear relaxation modulus taken perpendicular to the interface is accelerated by decreasing the distance between plates, whereas the parallel component is unchanged. This study observed similar anisotropic shear relaxation for entangled polymer melts under confinement in multi-chain slip-link simulations (primitive chain network simulations). The analysis demonstrated that the accelerated relaxation in the perpendicular component reflects the Rouse-type constraint release dynamics, for which the coarsening is upper-limited by the geometry. This result suggests a novel mechanism for anisotropic shear relaxation different from the modified chain statistics under confinement considered for unentangled systems.

description: Computational thinking, and by extension, computer programming, is notoriously challenging to learn. Conversational agents and generative artificial intelligence (genAI) have the potential to facilitate this learning process by offering personalized guidance, interactive learning experiences, and code generation. However, current genAI-based chatbots focus on professional developers and may not adequately consider educational needs. Involving educators in conceiving educational tools is critical for ensuring usefulness and usability. We enlisted nine instructors to engage in design fiction sessions in which we elicited abilities such a conversational agent supported by genAI should display. Participants envisioned a conversational agent that guides students stepwise through exercises, tuning its method of guidance with an awareness of the educational background, skills and deficits, and learning preferences. The insights obtained in this paper can guide future implementations of tutoring conversational agents oriented toward teaching computational thinking and computer programming.

description: Nickel phosphorus trisulfide (NiPS3), a van der Waals (vdW) 2D antiferromagnet, has captivated enormous attention for its intriguing physics in recent years. However, despite its fundamental importance in physics of magnetism and promising potential for technological applications, the study of magnetic domains in NiPS3 down to atomically thin is still lacking. Here, we report the layer-dependent magnetic characteristics and magnetic domains within antiferromagnetic NiPS3 by employing linear dichroism (LD) combined with polarized microscopy, spin-correlated photoluminescence (PL), and Raman spectroscopy. Our results reveal the existence of the paramagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic phase transition in bulk to bilayer NiPS3 with stronger spin fluctuation in thinner NiPS3. Furthermore, our study identifies three distinct antiferromagnetic domains within atomicallythin NiPS3 and captures the thermally-activated domain evolution. Our findings provide crucial insights for the development of antiferromagnetic spintronics and related technologies.

On Risk Aversion and News Shocks

description: Among the different causes of economic booms and downturns put forward by economists,the animal spirits" made famous by J.M. Keynes only �nd little space in the literature.As a result, other implications linked to similar views of business cycles are also generallyneglected by researchers. This is the case for the effects of waves of optimism or pes-simism on the agent's attitudes towards risk (i.e. risk aversion).Our thesis tries to bridge the gap analyzing one possible way to explain animal spirits",that is as news shocks generating expectation swings that ultimately drive economic cy-cles. Furthermore, we assess the relationship between expectation driven booms and riskaversion. Our goal is to understand whether empirical evidence and theoretical modelscan support our intuition, namely that during periods of (aggregate) optimism agentsshould be more incline to bear risks and thus less risk averse.The topic is �rst analyzed through an empirical inspection that basically supports ourinitial hypotheses. Afterwards, building on existing literature, two theoretical (DSGE)models incorporating an expectation driven boom mechanism are developed and simu-lated. Finally, the theoretical models are tested in their implications for risk aversion.Putting aside a slight delay in the response of model-based risk aversion to news shockscompared to the empirical counterparts, our results are qualitatively in line with boththe \news driven business cycles" hypothesis and the idea that news shocks have negativeimpact on aggregate risk aversion.

description: GenusStauropathesOpresko, 2002
Diagnosis (emended from Opresko 2002).
Corallum monopodial, unbranched or branched and pinnulate to the first order. Pinnules in two lateral or anterolateral rows and arranged in subopposite pairs. Spines smooth, triangular, and laterally compressed. Polyps 3–9 mm in transverse diameter.
Type species.
Stauropathes staurocrada Opresko, 2002 (by original designation).
Type locality.
North-central Pacific Ocean.
Remarks.
This study demonstrates that the unbranched corallum with bilateral and subopposite pinnules is polyphyletic, occurring in the genera Bathypathes and Stauropathes, warranting emendation to the generic diagnosis for Stauropathes. Further, the two genera do not form monophyletic groups, where Stauropathes spp. (CMNI 2023-0258, USNM 1404493, and USNM 1424220) fall into the clade that consists of a majority of Bathypathes, while Bathypathes alaskensis Opresko & Molodtsova, 2021 (USNM 1013749) falls into the clade that consists of a majority of Stauropathes. Another finding of this study is that Telopathes is not polyphyletic, contradicting Cruz et al. (2024); however, additional sequence data from these three genera may suggest more complicated relationships, possibly fueled by hybridization and / or introgression, which has yet to be formally tested for any species in the order.

description: Altermagnetism has emerged as a third type of collinear magnetism. In contrast to standard ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, altermagnets exhibit extra even-parity wave spin order parameters resulting in a spin-splitting of electronic bands in momentum space. In real space, sublattices of opposite spin polarization are anisotropic and related by rotational symmetry. In the hitherto identified altermagnetic candidate materials the anisotropies arise from the local crystallographic symmetry. Here, we show that altermagnetism can also form as an interaction-induced electronic instability in a lattice without the crystallographic sublattice anisotropy. We provide a microscopic example of a two-orbital model showing that the coexistence of staggered antiferromagnetic and orbital order can realize robust altermagnetism. We quantify the spin-splitter conductivity as a key experimental observable and discuss material candidates for the interaction-induced realization of altermagnetism.

description: Recent reports of room-temperature, ambient pressure superconductivity in copper-substituted lead phosphate apatite, commonly referred to as LK99, have prompted numerous theoretical and experimental studies into its properties. As the electron-phonon interaction is a common mechanism for superconductivity, the electron-phonon coupling strength is an important quantity to compute for LK99. In this work, we compare the electron-phonon coupling strength among the proposed compositions of LK99. The results of our study are in alignment with the conclusion that LK99 is not a likely candidate for room-temperature superconductivity if electron-phonon interaction is to serve as the mechanism.

description: 3D data from high-resolution volumetric imaging is a central resource for diagnosis and treatment in modern medicine. While the fast development of AI enhances imaging and analysis, commonly used visualization methods lag far behind. Recent research used extended reality (XR) for perceiving 3D images with visual depth perception and touch but used restrictive haptic devices. While unrestricted touch benefits volumetric data examination, implementing natural haptic interaction with XR is challenging. The research question is whether a multisensory XR application with intuitive haptic interaction adds value and should be pursued. In a study, 24 experts for biomedical images in research and medicine explored 3D medical shapes with 3 applications: a multisensory virtual reality (VR) prototype using haptic gloves, a simple VR prototype using controllers, and a standard PC application. Results of standardized questionnaires showed no significant differences between all application types regarding usability and no significant difference between both VR applications regarding presence. Participants agreed to statements that VR visualizations provide better depth information, using the hands instead of controllers simplifies data exploration, the multisensory VR prototype allows intuitive data exploration, and it is beneficial over traditional data examination methods. While most participants mentioned manual interaction as best aspect, they also found it the most improvable. We conclude that a multisensory XR application with improved manual interaction adds value for volumetric biomedical data examination. We will proceed with our open-source research project ISH3DE (Intuitive Stereoptic Haptic 3D Data Exploration) to serve medical education, therapeutic decisions, surgery preparations, or research data analysis.
