description: In many mammalian species, females live on average longer than males. In humans, women have consistently longer telomeres than men, and this has led to speculation that sex differences in telomere length (TL) could play a role in sex differences in longevity. To address the generality and drivers of patterns of sex differences in TL across vertebrates, we performed meta-analyses across 51 species. We tested two main evolutionary hypotheses proposed to explain sex differences in TL, namely the heterogametic sex disadvantage and the sexual selection hypotheses. We found no support for consistent sex differences in TL between males and females among mammal, bird, fish and reptile species. This absence of sex differences in TL across different classes of vertebrates does not support the heterogametic sex disadvantage hypothesis. Likewise, the absence of any negative effect of sexual size dimorphism on male TL suggests that sexual selection is not likely to mediate the magnitude of sex differences in TL across vertebrates. Finally, the comparative analyses we conducted did not detect any association between sex differences in TL and sex differences in longevity, which does not support the idea that sex differences in TL could explain the observed sex differences in longevity.

description: This article reports the measurement of the ionization quenching factor in germanium for nuclear recoil energies between 0.4 and 6.3 keV$_{nr}$. Precise knowledge of this factor in this energy range is relevant for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and low mass dark matter searches with germanium-based detectors. Nuclear recoils were produced in a thin high-purity germanium target with a very low energy threshold via irradiation with monoenergetic neutron beams. The energy dependence of the ionization quenching factor was directly measured via kinematically constrained coincidences with surrounding liquid scintillator based neutron detectors. The systematic uncertainties of the measurements are discussed in detail. With measured quenching factors between 0.16 and 0.23 in the [0.4, 6.3] keV$_{nr}$ energy range, the data are compatible with the Lindhard theory with a parameter $k$ of 0.162 $\pm$ 0.004 (stat+sys).
Human Face Mapping Based on TEWL, Hydration and Ultrasound
Creators: name: Chirikhina, Elena
Publisher: name: London South Bank University

description: Biophysical properties of the skin vary depending on the skin location. Such properties include skin structure, density of skin layers, pH, temperature, hydration and Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).Modern technologies and quantitative methods allow reading and analysing the skin properties using in-vivo based analysis. One goal of such analysis is partitioning the skin in areas with similar properties, which is referred as mapping. The purpose of our study, also the novelty of the project, is mapping of the facial skin in terms of TEWL, hydration and skin layer thickness, as well as measuring the effect of physical exercise on facial skin; where possible, effect of sex and age were also considered. TEWL was measured with AquaFlux, skin layer thickness was measured with Episcan high resolution ultrasound imaging, and skin hydration was measured with Epsilon. Our study reveals material difference of TEWL between the facial sites being analysed; the largest differences were noted between the lips and the neck. It was found that skin hydration levels decrease with the advancement of age. Skin hydration readings reveal larger general effect of exercise for females, and strongest effect for males observed on the nose. Skin ultrasound images were used in two ways. First, face was mapped in terms of the thickness of the individual skin layers and such mapping was found to be different for each layer. Secondly, the differences between the sites in terms of thickness were quantified using Welch test, where age was also found to be a factor. Several Machine Learning-based classifiers of the skin location were also trained, which are based on the cross-sectional image with moderate positive outcome. The study showed that the combination of TEWL, Epsilon and Episcan provides useful information about skin health. The study also showed variations in the values for different facial skin sites of several skin samples, which was likely due to the degree of corneocyte formation, the lipid contents of the Stratum Corneum (SC), skin temperature, damaged barrier function, bodily health and skin blood flow.

description: We consider the Higgs Lepton Flavor Violating process $h \rightarrow τμ$, in which CMS found a $2.5 σ$ excess of events, from a model independent perspective, and find that it is difficult to generate this operator without also obtaining a sizeable Wilson coefficient for the dipole operators responsible for tau radiative decay, constrained by BABAR to ${BR}(τ\rightarrow μγ)< 4.4 \times 10^{-8} $. We then survey a set of representative models for new physics, to determine which ones are capable of evading this problem. We conclude that, should this measurement persist as a signal, type-III Two Higgs Doublet Models and Higgs portal-like models are favored, while SUSY and Composite Higgs models are unlikely to explain it.

description: Sparse tensors arise in problems in science, engineering, machine learning, and data analytics. Programs that operate on such tensors can exploit sparsity to reduce storage requirements and computational time. Developing and maintaining sparse software by hand, however, is a complex and error-prone task. Therefore, we propose treating sparsity as a property of tensors, not a tedious implementation task, and letting a sparse compiler generate sparse code automatically from a sparsity-agnostic definition of the computation. This paper discusses integrating this idea into MLIR.

Virtual vs. Reality – Cyclicity in Modelled and Archaeological Data of Western Swiss Neolithic

description: Within the western Swiss Neolithic, lake shore settlements constitute a major archaeological site category, which is above all characterized by periodical and cyclic dynamics in space and time. These settlements offer high resolution chronological and well-preserved bioarchaeological remains, thereby constituting a promising ground for the application of simulation modelling approaches.
 Those can contribute to an understanding and evaluation of diverse socioecological and subsistence scenarios assumed to represent past human-environmental interactions which ultimately led to the documented archaeological record. Already existing and extended models about the spatio-temporal behaviour and subsistence strategies of the neolithic lake shore communities, are inferred from the archaeological record and the long-lasting corpus of research. Hypotheses from those models concerning diverse processes, such as the choice of settlement locations, the land use strategies and other, are compiled and formalised to be simulated with the simulation model LUTES (Land Use and Technological Evolution Simulator). The socioecological system which is simulated, creates a data set which shows structurally similar patterns concerning settlement duration and landuse impact known from archaeological and palaeoenvironmental archives. Within the poster contribution presented, the archaeological data and the simulated data will be compared to broaden insights into the past human-environmental relationships culminating in cyclic patterns.

description: The identification of electronic entanglement in solids remains elusive so far, which is owed to the difficulty of implementing spinor-selective beam splitters with tunable polarization direction. Here, we propose to overcome this obstacle by producing and detecting a particular type of entanglement encoded in the Nambu spinor or electron-hole components of quasiparticles excited in quantum Hall edge states. Due to the opposite charge of electrons and holes, the detection of the Nambu spinor translates into a charge-current measurement, which eliminates the need for beam splitters and assures a high detection rate. Conveniently, the spinor correlation function at fixed effective polarizations derives from a single current-noise measurement, with the polarization directions of the detector easily adjusted by coupling the edge states to a voltage gate and a superconductor, both having been realized in experiments. We show that the violation of Bell inequality occurs in a large parameter region. Our work opens a new route for probing quasiparticle entanglement in solid-state physics exempt from traditional beam splitters.

description: Video quality assessment is a challenging problem having a critical significance in the context of medical imaging. For instance, in laparoscopic surgery, the acquired video data suffers from different kinds of distortion that not only hinder surgery performance but also affect the execution of subsequent tasks in surgical navigation and robotic surgeries. For this reason, we propose in this paper neural network-based approaches for distortion classification as well as quality prediction. More precisely, a Residual Network (ResNet) based approach is firstly developed for simultaneous ranking and classification task. Then, this architecture is extended to make it appropriate for the quality prediction task by using an additional Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN). To train the overall architecture (ResNet and FCNN models), transfer learning and end-to-end learning approaches are investigated. Experimental results, carried out on a new laparoscopic video quality database, have shown the efficiency of the proposed methods compared to recent conventional and deep learning based approaches.

description: We perform experimental study of turbulent transport of nanoparticles in convective turbulence with the Rayleigh number $\sim 10^8$ in the air flow. We measure temperature field in many locations by a temperature probe equipped with 11 E-thermocouples. Nanoparticles of the size $\sim 70$ nm in diameter are produced by Advanced Electrospray Aerosol Generator. To determine the number density of nanoparticles, we use Condensation Particle Counter. We demonstrate that the joint action of turbulent effects (which are important in the core flow) and molecular effects (which are essential near the boundaries of the chamber) results in an effective accumulation of nanoparticles at the cold wall of the chamber. The turbulent effects are characterised by turbulent diffusion and turbulent thermal diffusion of nanoparticles, while the molecular effects are described by the Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis, as well as the adhesion of nanoparticles at the cold wall of the chamber. In different experiments in convective turbulence in a chamber with the temperature difference $ΔT$ between the bottom and top walls varying between $ΔT= 29$ K to $ΔT= 61$ K, we find that the mean number density of nanoparticles decreases exponentially in time. For instance, the characteristic decay time of the mean number density of nanoparticles varies from 12.8 min for $ΔT= 61$ K to 24 min for $ΔT= 29$ K. For better understanding of experimental results, we perform one-dimensional mean-field numerical simulations of the evolution of the mean number density of nanoparticles for conditions pertinent to the laboratory experiments. The obtained numerical results are in a good agreement with the experimental results.

description: We explain the 2.3 sigma deviation in the recent measurements of the neutral B mesons decay into muon pairs from the standard model prediction in the framework of supersymmetric grand unified models using anti-symmetric coupling as a new source of flavor violation. We show a correlation between the B_d -> mu^+mu^- decay and the CP phase in the B_d -> J/psi K decay and that their deviations from the standard model predictions can be explained after satisfying constraints arising from various hadronic and leptonic rare decay processes, B-bar{B}, K-bar{K} oscillations data and electric dipole moments of electron and neutron. The allowed parameter space is typically represented by pseudoscalar Higgs mass m_A < 1 TeV and tan beta_H (= {v_u}/{v_d}) < 20 for squark and gluino masses around 2 TeV.

Our construction gives a genus expansion for an arbitrary solution to the open WDVV equations satisfying a semisimplicity condition and admitting a unit. We show that the open total descendant potentials we define satisfy the open topological recursion relations in genus 0 and 1, the open string and open dilaton equations. We finish the paper with a computation of the simplest nontrivial open correlator in genus 1 using our construction.

Frontiers in Echelle optical spectroscopy of ultra-hot Jupiters
Creators: name: Pino, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; Teq ⪎ 2500 K) are the hottest gaseous giants known. They emerged as ideal laboratories to test theories of atmospheric structure and climate under extreme irradiation. Indeed, theory predicts that their climate and atmospheric wind patterns should differ, for example due to the emergence of atmospheric drag (due to ionization). To date, observational support mainly comes from the comparison of models with space-borne observations of the phase curve of a planet, i.e. the flux of the system recorded while the planet orbits around its host. This can be mapped to measure the phase-resolved thermal structure of the target planets, which depends on heat recirculation and thus winds. While powerful, this method is less sensitive to composition, and can not directly measure wind speeds and direction. This talk presents a new method to perform ground-based high resolution (R~100,000) phase curves of exoplanets, and its first application to the UHJ KELT-9b (Teq ~ 4000 K). The measured change with phase of Doppler shift (probing winds) and line contrast (probing the gradient of the thermal profile) of neutral iron emission lines observed with HARPS-N + CARMENES (5 nights) is consistent with day-to-night winds and lack of a hot-spot offset, and thus supports results from Global Circulation Models. I will also discuss future perspectives of application of this technique to other extrasolar planets.
Water demand management in mosques in Oman

description: The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries face the most severe water shortages in the world today yet exhibit the highest global water consumption (500 litres per capita per day) combined with minimal efforts or measures to manage or conserve water use. While the literature is rich with practices and recommendations to reduce water use in the private sphere, very little research has been conducted for public buildings such as mosques (public buildings for Muslims to pray). These public buildings are under government management and allow water to be used freely, with no price controls or restrictions. At the same time, an essential preparation for salah (prayer), which Muslims must perform five times a day, is wudu (ablution or washing with water). The Sunnah (which discusses traditional customs and practices of the Islamic community) prescribes that the ideal ablution uses only a small amount of water: the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) himself used just 0.6 litres. This study, which analyses ways to manage water demand in mosques in Oman, seeks to help address the issue – thus contributing to the literature on water demand management in similar countries worldwide. This research thesis revealed alarming results, up to 7 litres of water used per wudu. The research involved a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques, including 41 interviews, 120 observations, 120 measurements of water consumption and analysis of two years of water bills for around 688 of mosques in Muscat (capital city of Oman). It is anticipated the impact of the study could be massive, 80% of water consumption conserved in mosques, achieved via policy recommendations that promote the application of suitable tools and techniques and result in improved efficiency of appliances and water reuse. This research, which covers three major variables influencing water use (efficient appliances, policies, and reuse), will help decision-makers in taking the most appropriate action for water demand management. The findings provide an example for other GCC countries, as well as contributing to global knowledge.

description: We report on the valley blockade and the multielectron Kondo effect generated by an impurity atom in a silicon nano field effect device. According to the spin-valley nature of tunnelling processes, and consistently with those allowed by the valley blockade regime, the manifestation of Kondo effect obeys to the periodicity 4 of the electron filling sequence typical of silicon emerging at occupation N=1, 2, 3. The spin-valley Kondo effect emerges under different kinds of screening depending on the electron filling. By exploiting the valley blockade regime, valley index conservation in the Kondo SU(4) is deduced without the employment of an external magnetic field. Microwave irradiation suppresses the Kondo effect at occupancies up to three electrons.

description: An extensive study of population control techniques (PCTs) for time-dependent and eigenvalue Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport calculations is presented. We define PCT as a technique that takes a censused population and returns a controlled, unbiased population. A new perspective based on an abstraction of particle census and population control is explored, paving the way to improved understanding and application of the concepts. Five distinct PCTs identified from the literature are reviewed: Simple Sampling (SS), Splitting-Roulette (SR), Combing (CO), modified Combing (COX), and Duplicate-Discard (DD). A theoretical analysis of how much uncertainty is introduced to a population by each PCT is presented. Parallel algorithms for the PCTs applicable for both time-dependent and eigenvalue MC simulations are proposed. The relative performances of the PCTs based on runtime and tally mean error or standard deviation are assessed by solving time-dependent and eigenvalue test problems. It is found that SR and CO are equally the most performant techniques, closely followed by DD.

description: We consider the signal reconstruction problem under the case of the signals sampled in the multichannel way and with the presence of noise. Observing that if the samples are inexact, the rigorous enforcement of multichannel interpolation is inappropriate. Thus the reasonable smoothing and regularized corrections are indispensable. In this paper, we propose several alternative methods for the signal reconstruction from the noisy multichannel samples under different smoothing and regularization principles. We compare these signal reconstruction methods theoretically and experimentally in the various situations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, the probability interpretation and the error analysis for these methods are provided. Additionally, the numerical simulations as well as some guidelines to use the methods are also presented.

description: We study a nonsingular bounce inflation model, which can drive the early universe from a contracting phase, bounce into an ordinary inflationary phase, followed by the reheating process. Besides the bounce that avoided the Big-Bang singularity which appears in the standard cosmological scenario, we make use of the Horndesky theory and design the kinetic and potential forms of the lagrangian, so that neither of the two big problems in bouncing cosmology, namely the ghost and the anisotropy problems, will appear. The cosmological perturbations can be generated either in the contracting phase or in the inflationary phase, where in the latter the power spectrum will be scale-invariant and fit the observational data, while in the former the perturbations will have nontrivial features that will be tested by the large scale structure experiments. We also fit our model to the CMB TT power spectrum.

description: We study experimentally turbulent thermal diffusion of small particles in inhomogeneous and anisotropic stably stratified turbulence produced by one oscillating grid in the air flow. The velocity fields have been measured using a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). We have determined various turbulence characteristics: the mean and turbulent velocities, two-point correlation functions of the velocity field and an integral scale of turbulence from the measured velocity fields. The temperature field have been measured with a temperature probe equipped with 12 E thermocouples. Spatial distributions of micron size particles have been determined by a PIV system using the effect of the Mie light scattering by particles in the flow. The experiments have demonstrated that particles are accumulated at the minimum of mean fluid temperature due to phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion. Using measured spatial distributions of particles and temperature fields, we have determined the effective turbulent thermal diffusion coefficient of particles in inhomogeneous temperature stratified turbulence. This experimental study has clearly detected phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion in inhomogeneous turbulence.

Kondo Breakdown in Topological Kondo Insulators

description: Motivated by the observation of light surface states in SmB6, we examine the effects of surface Kondo breakdown in topological Kondo insulators. We present both numerical and analytic results which show that the decoupling of the localized moments at the surface disturbs the compensation between light and heavy electrons and dopes the Dirac cone. Dispersion of these uncompensated surface states are dominated by inter-site hopping, which leads to a much lighter quasiparticles. These surface states are also highly durable against the effects of surface magnetism and decreasing thickness of the sample.

description: Measuring uncertainties in the output of a deep learning method is useful in several ways, such as in assisting with interpretation of the outputs, helping build confidence with end users, and for improving the training and performance of the networks. Several different methods have been proposed to estimate uncertainties, including those from epistemic (relating to the model used) and aleatoric (relating to the data) sources using test-time dropout and augmentation, respectively. Not only are these uncertainty sources different, but they are governed by parameter settings (e.g., dropout rate or type and level of augmentation) that establish even more distinct uncertainty categories. This work investigates how different the uncertainties are from these categories, for magnitude and spatial pattern, to empirically address the question of whether they provide usefully distinct information that should be captured whenever uncertainties are used. We take the well characterised BraTS challenge dataset to demonstrate that there are substantial differences in both magnitude and spatial pattern of uncertainties from the different categories, and discuss the implications of these in various use cases.

description: In the field of van der Waals heterostructures, the twist angle between stacked two-dimensional (2D) layers has been identified to be of utmost importance for the properties of the heterostructures. In this context, we previously reported the growth of a single layer of unconventionally oriented epitaxial graphene that forms in a surfactant atmosphere [F. C. Bocquet, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 106102 (2020)]. The resulting G-R0$^\circ$ layer is aligned with the SiC lattice, and hence represents an important milestone towards high quality twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG), a frequently investigated model system in this field. Here, we focus on the surface structures obtained in the same surfactant atmosphere, but at lower preparation temperatures at which a boron nitride template layer forms on SiC(0001). In a comprehensive study based on complementary experimental and theoretical techniques, we find -- in contrast to the literature -- that this template layer is a hexagonal B$_x$N$_y$ layer, but not high-quality hBN. It is aligned with the SiC lattice and gradually replaced by low-quality graphene in the 0$^\circ$ orientation of the B$_x$N$_y$ template layer upon annealing.

description: This paper presents a workflow to systematically compare translations of Ancient Greek into English and Persian through the analysis of parallel corpora aligned manually at word level. We extracted the translation pairs, measured word intersections, alignment types, and part of speech matches, in order to investigate quantitative indicators of closeness to the original and similarity across translations. The corpus includes passages from the Iliad and the Hippolytus by Euripides. In addition to direct translations, we have included some indirect translations of the Iliad in Persian, where French was used as a mediating language.
