description: In this paper, we present an LLM-based code translation method and an associated tool called CoTran, that translates whole-programs from one high-level programming language to another. Existing LLM-based code translation methods lack training to ensure that the translated code reliably compiles or bears substantial functional equivalence to the input code. In our work, we fine-tune an LLM using reinforcement learning, incorporating compiler feedback, and symbolic execution (symexec)-based testing feedback to assess functional equivalence between the input and output programs. The idea is to guide an LLM during fine-tuning, via compiler and symexec-based testing feedback, by letting it know how far it is from producing perfect translations. We conduct extensive experiments comparing CoTran with 14 other code translation tools, including human-written transpilers, LLM-based translation tools, and ChatGPT. Using a benchmark of over \num{57000} code pairs in Java and Python, we demonstrate that CoTran outperforms the other tools on relevant metrics such as compilation accuracy (CompAcc) and functional equivalence accuracy (FEqAcc). For example, in Python-to-Java translation, CoTran achieves 48.68% FEqAcc and 76.98% CompAcc, whereas the nearest competing tool (PLBART-base) gets 38.26% and 75.77% respectively. Additionally, CoTran, built on top of CodeT5, improves FEqAcc by +14.89% and CompAcc by +8.14% for Python-to-Java (resp., +12.94% and +4.30% for Java-to-Python).

description: The Bloch electron energy spectrum of a crystalline solid is determined by the underlying lattice structure at the atomic level. In a 2-dimensional (2d) crystal it is possible to impose a superlattice with nanometer-scale periodicity, allowing to tune the fundamental Bloch electron spectrum, and enabling novel physical properties which are not accessible in the original crystal. In recent years, a top-down approach for creating 2d superlattices on monolayer graphene by means of nanopatterned electric gates has been studied, which allows the formation of isolated energy bands and Hofstadter Butterfly physics in quantizing magnetic fields. Within this approach, however, evidence of electron correlations which drive many problems at the forefront of physics research remains to be uncovered. In this work we demonstrate signatures of a correlated insulator phase in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) modulated by a gate-defined superlattice potential, manifested as a set of resistance peaks centered at carrier densities of integer multiples of a single electron per unit cell of the superlattice potential. We associate the correlated insulator phase to the formation of flat energy bands due to the superlattice potential combined with inversion symmetry breaking. Inducing correlated electron phases with nanopatterning defined electric gates paves the way to custom-designed superlattices with arbitrary geometries and symmetries for studying band structure engineering and strongly correlated electrons in 2d materials.

description: We study the multiplicities of semisimple split characters in tensor product of semisimple split characters of $GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. We prove that these multiplicities are polynomial in q with non-negative integer coefficients and we obtain a criterion for their non-vanishing. We give moreover an interpretation of these polynomials in terms of the counting of the representations of star-shaped quivers, generalizing a previous result of Hausel, Letellier and Rodriguez-Villegas, who linked multiplicities for generic $k$-tuples of semisimple split characters and Kac polynomials.

description: In many data science applications, the objective is to extract appropriately-ordered smooth low-dimensional data patterns from high-dimensional data sets. This is challenging since common sorting algorithms are primarily aiming at finding monotonic orderings in low-dimensional data, whereas typical dimension reduction and feature extraction algorithms are not primarily designed for extracting smooth low-dimensional data patterns. We show that when selecting the Euclidean smoothness as a pattern quality criterium, both of these problems (finding the optimal 'crisp' data permutation and extracting the sparse set of permuted low-dimensional smooth patterns) can be efficiently solved numerically as one unsupervised entropy-regularized iterative optimization problem. We formulate and prove the conditions for monotonicity and convergence of this linearly-scalable (in dimension) numerical procedure, with the iteration cost scaling of $\mathcal{O}(DT^2)$, where $T$ is the size of the data statistics and $D$ is a feature space dimension. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated through the examination of synthetic examples as well as a real-world application involving the identification of smooth bankruptcy risk minimizing transition patterns from high-dimensional economical data. The results showcase that the statistical properties of the overall time complexity of the method exhibit linear scaling in the dimensionality $D$ within the specified confidence intervals.
Significance of Medium-Wave AM Radio Broadcasting for Enhanced Disaster Resilience in Japan: A Case Study in the Kanto Region and Fukui using Nonpowered HOOPRA

description: On the occasion of centenary anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake and commencement of radio broadcasting in Japan, this study reiterates the paramount importance of medium-wave (MW) AM broadcasting in safeguarding public safety and security. Utilizing the electromagnetic principles of MW, the author has earlier developed hoop-shaped radio (HOOPRA), which is a battery-free sustainable radio receiver. This study aims to determine the maximum achievable reception distance with HOOPRA for broadcasts from public stations, such as Nihon Hoso Kyokai (NHK) JOFG (927 kHz, 5 kW) in Fukui, and NHK JOAK (594 kHz, 300 kW), and JOAB (693 kHz, 500 kW), in the Kanto region. The significance of the findings in this study is that approximately 38 million individuals in the Kanto region, residing within an 80 km radius of JOAK or JOAB, can access broadcasts using only the energy of radio waves with HOOPRA. Additionally, ~0.4 million people in Fukui, within a 15 km radius of JOFG, can potentially be recipients of the broadcast. Given that most transmitting stations operate at 5 kW nationwide, HOOPRA can be effectively utilized within a 15 km radius of each station. Moreover, these outcomes validate the efficacy of HOOPRA as a radio receiver and provide valuable insights into the global potential applicability of MW AM radios. Furthermore, the current investigation underscores the need to reevaluate the significance of terrestrial MW broadcasting as a vital source of emergency information, especially in the event of anticipated natural disasters, such as the predicted Nankai Trough Earthquake.

description: We investigate the limitations of quantum computers for solving nonlinear dynamical systems. In particular, we tighten the worst-case bounds of the quantum Carleman linearisation (QCL) algorithm [Liu et al., PNAS 118, 2021] answering one of their open questions. We provide a further significant limitation for any quantum algorithm that aims to output a quantum state that approximates the normalized solution vector. Given a natural choice of coordinates for a dynamical system with one or more positive Lyapunov exponents and solutions that grow sub-exponentially, we prove that any such algorithm has complexity scaling at least exponentially in the integration time. As such, an efficient quantum algorithm for simulating chaotic systems or regimes is likely not possible.

description: Mark O. Hatfield was an Oregon politician who held several prominent positions in government, most notably as governor of the State of Oregon from 1959 to 1967 and as a United States Senator for the State of Oregon from 1967 to 1997. Hatfield was known as a moderate Republican, often breaking with party lines to vote against both the Vietnam War and budget cuts to the NIH during the Clinton Administration. He died in 2011.
In this interview, Hatfield focuses exclusively on his advocacy for health sciences education during his career in the senate. He discusses his role in the establishment of the Oregon Graduate Institute, the revitalization of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the 1980s and the legislative fight to complete the pedestrian bridge between the Veterans Affairs building and the University Hospital in 1992. Hatfield also provides a brief history of medical education in the State of Oregon.

description: The field of Quantum Information Science & Technology (QIST) is booming. Due to this, many new educational courses and university programs are needed in order to prepare a workforce for the developing industry. Owing to its specialist nature, teaching approaches in this field can easily become disconnected from the substantial degree of science education research which aims to support the best approaches to teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) fields. In order to connect these two communities with a pragmatic and repeatable methodology, we have synthesised this educational research into a decision-tree based theoretical model for the transformation of QIST curricula, intended to provide a didactical perspective for practitioners. The Quantum Curriculum Transformation Framework (QCTF) consists of four steps: 1. choose a topic, 2. choose one or more targeted skills, 3. choose a learning goal and 4. choose a teaching approach that achieves this goal. We show how this can be done using an example curriculum and more specifically quantum teleportation as a basic concept of quantum communication within this curriculum. By approaching curriculum creation and transformation in this way, educational goals and outcomes are more clearly defined which is in the interest of the individual and the industry alike. The framework is intended to structure the narrative of QIST teaching, and with future testing and refinement it will form a basis for further research in the didactics of QIST.

description: Causal nonseparability is the property underlying quantum processes incompatible with a definite causal order. So far it has remained a central open question as to whether any process with a clear physical realisation can violate a causal inequality, so that its causal nonseparability can be certified in a device-independent way, as originally conceived. Here we present a method solely based on the observed correlations, which certifies the causal nonseparability of all the processes that can induce a causally nonseparable distributed measurement in a scenario with trusted quantum input states, as defined in [Dourdent et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 090402 (2022)]. This notably includes the celebrated quantum switch. This device-independent certification is achieved by introducing a network of untrusted operations, allowing one to self-test the quantum inputs on which the effective distributed measurement induced by the process is performed.

description: Effective privacy protection in dynamic UbiComp environments requires users to be able to manage their privacy seamlessly across diverse contexts. To support this, designers need to go beyond GUI-based interactions and utilise tangible and embodied interactions. To help designers in such endeavours, we present the TTP toolkit: a card-based ideation kit to generate designs for tangible privacy management tools. The toolkit translates the Privacy Care framework for tangible-supported privacy management into a game intended to support designers in developing TUI privacy management tools. We demonstrate use of our toolkit through 10 online participatory workshops with 22 interaction designers. Our results demonstrate that the toolkit was effective in supporting the participants to creatively and collaboratively generate meaningful conceptual designs of tangible tools for privacy management.

description: Η διαδικασία της κενοδιαμόρφωσης είναι μια μέθοδος κατεργασίας θερμοπλαστικών με ευρύ φάσμα εφαρμογών. Στη διαδικασία αυτή το υλικό, σε μορφή φύλλου, θερμαίνεται πάνω από την θερμοκρασία ευπλαστότητάς του (αλλά όχι τήξης του) και κατόπιν εφαρμόζεται πάνω σε κατάλληλο καλούπι. Ο αέρας μεταξύ του καλουπιού και του φύλλου αναρροφάται και έτσι η ατμοσφαιρική πίεση υποχρεώνει το φύλλο του υλικού να εφαρμόσει στο καλούπι. Ύστερα το υλικό επιστρέφει σε θερμοκρασία περιβάλλοντος ώστε να αποκτήσει ξανά την ακαμψία του και αφαιρείται από το καλούπι για τυχόν περεταίρω κατεργασία, πχ αποκοπή της φύρας κτλ. Οι μηχανές κενοδιαμόρφωσης ποικίλουν σε μορφή, μέγεθος και δυνατότητες και καλύπτουν ένα μεγάλο φάσμα από μικρές χειροκίνητες επιτραπέζιες μηχανές, με ικανότητα διαμόρφωσης φύλλων πάχους μερικών δέκατων του χιλιοστού, έως μεγάλες βιομηχανικές μονάδες, πλήρως αυτοματοποιημένες, με δυνατότητα διαμόρφωσης φύλλων μερικών τετραγωνικών μέτρων και/ή μεγάλου πάχους έως και λίγων εκατοστών. Η μέθοδος χαίρει ευρείας υιοθέτησης στον τομέα της παραγωγής συσκευασιών αλλά επίσης στην παραγωγή πολλών εξαρτημάτων για προϊόντα κάθε κλίμακας.
Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η σχεδίαση και κατασκευή μιας μηχανής κενοδιαμόρφωσης, χωρίς καθοδήγηση από κάποιο βιομηχανικό πρότυπο και με κύριο κριτήριο την καλύτερη δυνατή απόδοση στο ελάχιστο δυνατό κόστος καθώς και η διαχείριση των προβλημάτων/προκλήσεων που ακολουθούν ένα τέτοιο εγχείρημα.

Είναι εξοπλισμένη με ενσωματωμένο σύστημα αναρρόφησης υψηλού κενού αλλά διαθέτει και επιπλέον δυνατότητα σύνδεσης με εξωτερική διάταξη αναρρόφησης. Έχει ψηφιακό έλεγχο ακριβείας για την ένταση θέρμανσης και σύστημα διπλής τροφοδοσίας ισχύος, ώστε να μπορεί να λειτουργήσει απρόσκοπτα τόσο από συμβατική παροχή 230V 16A (οικιακή πρίζα schuko) όσο και από βιομηχανική μονοφασική παροχή 230V 32A, ρυθμίζοντας αυτόματα τη μέγιστη ισχύ της, ανάλογα με την επιλεγόμενη τροφοδοσία. Είναι σχεδιασμένη να καταλαμβάνει μικρό εμβαδό, μόλις 100cm x 80cm, και το κόστος της είναι αρκετές φορές μικρότερο από αντίστοιχης κλίμακας εμπορικές μηχανές.

description: Palynology is one of the most useful tools for constructing biostratigraphic charts in the late Paleozoic basins of South America, but the lack of radiometric ages often makes it difficult to establish the precise age of the biozones. This paper focuses on two points: (i) the description of new Argentinian palynological assemblages referred to the Lueckisporites/Weylandites (LW) Biozone and (ii) the application of a new isotopic age that enables more confident large-scale correlations with the neighboring Paraná Basin of Brazil. The palynofloras were recovered from the upper part of the De La Cuesta Formation that crops out in the retroarc basin of the Paganzo Basin, more specifically obtained from mudstones intercalated with limestones, cherts, and tuffs interpreted as being deposited in a shallow water body. The assemblages are characterized by an abundance of bi-taeniate pollen grains of the Lueckisporites complex and multitaeniate pollen grains such as Lunatisporites, Protohaploxypinus, Striatopodocarpidites, Tornopollenites, and Vittatina. Colpate pollen grains are also represented by Marsupipollenites and Pakhapites. A U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS age of 278.84 ± 0.22 Ma, obtained from a tuff level interstratified with the fossiliferous strata, allows the age of the LW Biozone in the Paganzo Basin to be constrained for the first time and the adjustment of the record Lueckisporites virkkiae in Gondwana. Moreover, this date enables precise correlations with other basins, such as the San Rafael Basin (Yacimiento Los Reyunos Formation) in Argentina and the Brazilian Paraná Basin (Iratí Formation).

description: Ranking is a ubiquitous method for focusing the attention of human evaluators on a manageable subset of options. Its use as part of human decision-making processes ranges from surfacing potentially relevant products on an e-commerce site to prioritizing college applications for human review. While ranking can make human evaluation more effective by focusing attention on the most promising options, we argue that it can introduce unfairness if the uncertainty of the underlying relevance model differs between groups of options. Unfortunately, such disparity in uncertainty appears widespread, often to the detriment of minority groups for which relevance estimates can have higher uncertainty due to a lack of data or appropriate features. To address this fairness issue, we propose Equal-Opportunity Ranking (EOR) as a new fairness criterion for ranking and show that it corresponds to a group-wise fair lottery among the relevant options even in the presence of disparate uncertainty. EOR optimizes for an even cost burden on all groups, unlike the conventional Probability Ranking Principle, and is fundamentally different from existing notions of fairness in rankings, such as demographic parity and proportional Rooney rule constraints that are motivated by proportional representation relative to group size. To make EOR ranking practical, we present an efficient algorithm for computing it in time $O(n \log(n))$ and prove its close approximation guarantee to the globally optimal solution. In a comprehensive empirical evaluation on synthetic data, a US Census dataset, and a real-world audit of Amazon search queries, we find that the algorithm reliably guarantees EOR fairness while providing effective rankings.

description: Applying the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations with density-functional theory, it is possible to formulate first-principles description of current-phase relationships in superconducting/normal (magnetic)/superconducting trilayers. Such structures are the basis for the superconducting analog of Magnetoresistive random access memory devices (JMRAM). In a recent paper [1] we presented results from the first attempt to formulate such a theory, applied to the Nb/Ni/Nb trilayers. In the present work we provide computational details, explaining how to construct key ingredient (scattering matrices $S_N$) in a framework of linear muffin-tin orbitals (LMTO).

description: We demonstrate a macro-coherent regime in exciton-polariton systems, where nonequilibrium polariton Bose--Einstein condensation coexists with macroscopically occupied vibrational states. Strong exciton-vibration coupling induces an effective optomechanical interaction between cavity polaritons and vibrational degrees of freedom of molecules, leading to vibrational amplification in a resonant blue-detuned configuration. This interaction provide a sympathetic mechanism to achieve vibrational condensation with potential applications in cavity-controlled chemistry, nonlinear and quantum optics.

description: This dissertation presents a thorough investigation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosures across four essays, examining its development, present implementations, regulatory shifts, and impacts on diverse stakeholders. Prompted by the European Union's European Green Deal, the growing focus on sustainability and the incorporation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into corporate strategies have led to an increased demand for transparent disclosure of companies' ESG performance. This analysis highlights a significant increase in sustainability reporting throughout Europe. Nonetheless, a pronounced lack of consensus and standardization in CSR reporting is identified in this examination, particularly in Germany. The investigation progresses to analyze CSR disclosure's effects on both financial and non-financial stakeholders, addressing the challenges of information asymmetry and the evolving regulatory environment in the EU, which seeks to direct investments towards sustainable entities. The impact of CSR disclosures on corporate reputation among non-financial stakeholders is evaluated. Empirical results indicate no significant impact of CSR reporting on corporate reputation within this group, suggesting that CSR reports may not serve as an effective communication tool. In contrast, CSR disclosures via corporate websites are found to significantly influence corporate reputation among non-financial stakeholders. Further, we explore the EU taxonomy's effect on investors’ judgments, revealing that EU taxonomy indicators enhance transparency for professional investors. Notably, EU taxonomy indicators convey positive signals to private investors, even if the taxonomy indicators are below the presented industry average. Drawing upon these findings, the concluding essay discusses the legal implications for fostering green investments. By merging empirical evidence with theoretical discourse, this dissertation aims to contribute to the understanding and development of CSR reporting. It highlights the critical need for precise, standardized reports taking into account the individual requirements of diverse stakeholder groups. This approach is intended to facilitate sustainable decisions and improve corporate reputation, in alignment with the EU's objectives towards a sustainable economy.

description: In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), therapy-related cytotoxicity and the resulting immunodeficiency are thought to contribute to the development of secondary primary malignancies (SPM). Here, we analyzed clinical trial data on the occurrence of SPM following chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) regimens in treatment-naïve CLL patients. A systematic literature search was conducted covering multiple databases between 2003 and 2019. Data from relevant clinical trials on the proportion of patients with SPMs were extracted. Then, the number of SPM patients/person-years was calculated by taking into account the trials’ follow-up time. Finally, a random-effects meta-analysis to pool the rates from individual studies was performed. We identified 22 studies reporting SPM data available for analysis. Random-effects meta-analysis estimated that the number of SPM patients/1000 person-years was 24 (95%CI: 19–29). Results from trials with cancer-specific data indicated 19 (95%CI: 14–26) solid and 9 (95%CI: 6–12) hematological SPM patients/1000 person-years. These estimations did not change significantly when sub-groups were analyzed by CIT regimens. Although pooling data with the intention to analyze adverse event rates is challenging, our study concluded that for CIT regimens, SPM should be considered an important adverse outcome. Different regimens showed similar trends; however, other clinical and demographic factors also have profound impact.

description: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in the brain and in silico excel at solving tasks with intricate temporal dependencies. Long timescales required for solving such tasks can arise from properties of individual neurons (single-neuron timescale, $τ$, e.g., membrane time constant in biological neurons) or recurrent interactions among them (network-mediated timescale). However, the contribution of each mechanism for optimally solving memory-dependent tasks remains poorly understood. Here, we train RNNs to solve $N$-parity and $N$-delayed match-to-sample tasks with increasing memory requirements controlled by $N$ by simultaneously optimizing recurrent weights and $τ$s. We find that for both tasks RNNs develop longer timescales with increasing $N$, but depending on the learning objective, they use different mechanisms. Two distinct curricula define learning objectives: sequential learning of a single-$N$ (single-head) or simultaneous learning of multiple $N$s (multi-head). Single-head networks increase their $τ$ with $N$ and are able to solve tasks for large $N$, but they suffer from catastrophic forgetting. However, multi-head networks, which are explicitly required to hold multiple concurrent memories, keep $τ$ constant and develop longer timescales through recurrent connectivity. Moreover, we show that the multi-head curriculum increases training speed and network stability to ablations and perturbations, and allows RNNs to generalize better to tasks beyond their training regime. This curriculum also significantly improves training GRUs and LSTMs for large-$N$ tasks. Our results suggest that adapting timescales to task requirements via recurrent interactions allows learning more complex objectives and improves the RNN's performance.

description: The retrodirective antenna array is considered as a mechanism to enable target tracking of a power receiver for long range wireless power transfer (WPT) due to its simplicity in implementation using only analog circuits. By installing the retrodirective capability on both the generator and rectenna arrays, a feedback loop that produces a high efficiency WPT channel is created. In this paper, we characterize the dynamics of this phenomenon using a discrete-time state-space model based on S-parameters and show that the system can naturally achieve maximum theoretical WPT efficiency. We further confirmed the theoretical analysis through a hardware experiment using a 12-port circuit board with measurable S-parameters mimicking a static wireless channel. The results collected from the hardware experiment show agreement with the proposed theoretical framework by comparing the theoretical efficiency with the measured efficiency and by showing that the collected data points follow the predicted condition to achieve maximum efficiency.

description: We study a distance graph $Γ_n$ that is isomorphic to the $1$-skeleton of an $n$-dimensional unit hypercube. We show that every measurable set of positive upper Banach density in the plane contains all sufficiently large dilates of $Γ_n$. This provides the first examples of distance graphs other than the trees for which a dimensionally sharp embedding in positive density sets is known.

description: The large amount of powder diffraction data for which the corresponding crystal structures have not yet been identified suggests the existence of numerous undiscovered, physically relevant crystal structure prototypes. In this paper, we present a scheme to resolve powder diffraction data into crystal structures with precise atomic coordinates by screening the space of all possible atomic arrangements, i.e., structural prototypes, including those not previously observed, using a pre-trained machine learning (ML) model. This involves (i) enumerating all possible symmetry-confined ways in which a given composition can be accommodated in a given spacegroup, (ii) ranking the element-assigned prototype representations using energies predicted using the Wren ML model [Sci.Adv.8, eabn4117 (2022)], (iii) assigning and perturbing atoms along the degree of freedom allowed by the Wyckoff positions to match the experimental diffraction data (iv) validating the thermodynamic stability of the material using density-functional theory (DFT). An advantage of the presented method is that it does not rely on a database of previously observed prototypes and is, therefore capable of finding crystal structures with entirely new symmetric arrangements of atoms. We demonstrate the workflow on unidentified XRD spectra from the ICDD database and identify a number of stable structures, where a majority turns out to be derivable from known prototypes. However, at least two are found not to be part of our prior structural data sets.
