description: Overturned folds are observed in regions of the Greenland ice sheet where driving stress is highly variable. Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain these folds: freezing subglacial water, traveling basal slippery patches, and englacial rheological contrasts. Here we explore how traveling basal sticky patches can produce overturned folds. Transitions from low to high stress cause a tradeoff in ice flow between basal slip and internal deformation that deflects ice stratigraphy vertically. If these transitions move, the slip-deformation tradeoff can produce large folds. Those folds record the integrated effects of time-varying basal slip. To understand how dynamic changes in basal slip influence ice sheet stratigraphy, we develop a kinematic model of ice flow in a moving reference frame that follows a single traveling sticky patch. The ice flow field forms a vortex when viewed in the moving reference frame, and this vortex traps ice above the traveling patch and produces overturned folds. Sticky patches that travel downstream faster produce larger overturned folds. We use the model as an interpretive tool to infer properties of basal slip from three example folds. Our model suggests that the sticky patches underneath these folds propagated downstream at rates between one half and the full ice velocity. The regional flow regime for the smaller two folds requires substantial internal deformation whereas the regime for the largest fold requires substantially more basal slip. The distribution and character of stratigraphic folds reflect the evolution and propagation of individual sticky patches and their effects on ice sheet flow.

description: We study the ability to implement unitary maps on states of the $I=9/2$ nuclear spin in \textsuperscript{87}Sr, a $d=10$ dimensional (qudecimal) Hilbert space, using quantum optimal control. Through a combination of nuclear spin-resonance and a tensor AC-Stark shift, by solely modulating the phase of a radio-frequency magnetic field, the system is quantum controllable. Alkaline earth atoms, such as \textsuperscript{87}Sr, have a very favorable figure-of-merit for such control due to narrow intercombination lines and the large hyperfine splitting in the excited states. We numerically study the quantum speed-limit, optimal parameters, and the fidelity of arbitrary state preparation and full SU(10) maps, including the presence of decoherence due to optical pumping induced by the light-shifting laser. We also study the use of robust control to mitigate some dephasing due to inhomogeneities in the light shift. We find that with an rf-Rabi frequency of $Ω_\text{rf}$ and 0.5\% inhomogeneity in the the light shift we can prepare an arbitrary Haar-random state in a time $T={4.5}π/Ω_\text{rf}$ with average fidelity $\langle \mathcal{F}_ψ\rangle =0.9992$, and an arbitrary Haar-random SU(10) map in a time $T=24π/Ω_\text{rf}$ with average fidelity $\langle \mathcal{F}_U \rangle = 0.9923$.

description: A $d$-dimensional elastic manifold at depinning is described by a renormalized field theory, based on the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG). Here we analyze this theory to 3-loop order, equivalent to third order in $ε=4-d$, where $d$ is the internal dimension. The critical exponent reads $ζ= \frac \epsilon3 + 0.04777 ε^2 -0.068354 ε^3 + {\cal O}(ε^4)$. Using that $ζ(d=0)=2^-$, we estimate $ζ(d=1)=1.266(20)$, $ζ(d=2)=0.752(1)$ and $ζ(d=3)=0.357(1)$. For Gaussian disorder, the pinning force per site is estimated as $f_{\rm c}= {\cal B} m^{2}ρ_m + f_{\rm c}^0$, where $m^2$ is the strength of the confining potential, $\cal B$ a universal amplitude, $ρ_m$ the correlation length of the disorder, and $f_{\rm c}^0$ a non-universal lattice dependent term. For charge-density waves, we find a mapping to the standard $ϕ^4$-theory with $O(n)$ symmetry in the limit of $n\to -2$. This gives $f_{\rm c} = \tilde {\cal A}(d) m^2 \ln (m) + f_{\rm c}^0 $, with $\tilde {\cal A}(d) = -\partial_n \big[ν(d,n)^{-1}+η(d,n)\big]_{n=-2}$, reminiscent of log-CFTs.

description: Generative AI models exhibit remarkable potential; however, hallucinations across various tasks present a significant challenge, particularly for longer inputs that current approaches struggle to address effectively. We introduce SCALE (Source Chunking Approach for Large-scale inconsistency Evaluation), a task-agnostic model for detecting factual inconsistencies using a novel chunking strategy. Specifically, SCALE is a Natural Language Inference (NLI) based model that uses large text chunks to condition over long texts. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in factual inconsistency detection for diverse tasks and long inputs. Additionally, we leverage the chunking mechanism and employ a novel algorithm to explain SCALE's decisions through relevant source sentence retrieval. Our evaluations reveal that SCALE outperforms existing methods on both standard benchmarks and a new long-form dialogue dataset ScreenEval we constructed. Moreover, SCALE surpasses competitive systems in efficiency and model explanation evaluations. We have released our code and data publicly to GitHub.

description: We study the microscale propulsion of a rotating helical filament confined by a cylindrical tube, using a boundary-element method for Stokes flow that accounts for helical symmetry. We determine the effect of confinement on swimming speed and power consumption. Except for a small range of tube radii at the tightest confinements, the swimming speed at fixed rotation rate increases monotonically as the confinement becomes tighter. At fixed torque, the swimming speed and power consumption depend only on the geometry of the filament centerline, except at the smallest pitch angles for which the filament thickness plays a role. We find that the `normal' geometry of \textit{Escherichia coli} flagella is optimized for swimming efficiency, independent of the degree of confinement. The efficiency peaks when the arc length of the helix within a pitch matches the circumference of the cylindrical wall. We also show that a swimming helix in a tube induces a net flow of fluid along the tube.

description: Graph associahedra are generalized permutohedra arising as special cases of nestohedra and hypergraphic polytopes. The graph associahedron of a graph $G$ encodes the combinatorics of search trees on $G$, defined recursively by a root $r$ together with search trees on each of the connected components of $G-r$. In particular, the skeleton of the graph associahedron is the rotation graph of those search trees. We investigate the diameter of graph associahedra as a function of some graph parameters. We give a tight bound of $Θ(m)$ on the diameter of trivially perfect graph associahedra on $m$ edges. We consider the maximum diameter of associahedra of graphs on $n$ vertices and of given tree-depth, treewidth, or pathwidth, and give lower and upper bounds as a function of these parameters. We also prove that the maximum diameter of associahedra of graphs of pathwidth two is $Θ(n\log n)$. Finally, we give the exact diameter of the associahedra of complete split and of unbalanced complete bipartite graphs.

description: Knowledge of air-water gas transfer velocities and water residence times is necessary to study the fate of mangrove derived carbon exported into surrounding estuaries and ultimately to determine carbon balances in mangrove ecosystems. For the first time, the 3He/SF6 dual tracer technique, which has been proven to be a powerful tool to determine gas transfer velocities in the ocean, is applied to Shark River, an estuary situated in the largest contiguous mangrove forest in North America. The mean gas transfer velocity was 3.3 ± 0.2 cm h−1 during the experiment, with a water residence time of 16.5 ± 2.0 days. We propose a gas exchange parameterization that takes into account the major sources of turbulence in the estuary (i.e., bottom generated shear and wind stress).

description: Crystalline Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators (WGMRs) have been shown to facilitate versatile sources of quantum states that can efficiently interact with atomic systems. These features make WGMRs an efficient platform for quantum information processing. Here, we experimentally show that it is possible to generate polarization entanglement from WGMRs by using an interferometric scheme. Our scheme gives us the flexibility to control the phase of the generated entangled state by changing the relative phase of the interferometer. The S value of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt's inequality in the system is $2.45 \pm 0.07$, which violates the inequality by more than 6 standard deviations.

description: Biosignature gas detection is one of the ultimate future goals for exoplanet atmosphere studies. We have created a framework for linking biosignature gas detectability to biomass estimates, including atmospheric photochemistry and biological thermodynamics. The new framework is intended to liberate predictive atmosphere models from requiring fixed, Earth-like biosignature gas source fluxes. New biosignature gases can be considered with a check that the biomass estimate is physically plausible. We have validated the models on terrestrial production of NO, H2S, CH4, CH3Cl, and DMS. We have applied the models to propose NH3 as a biosignature gas on a "cold Haber World," a planet with a N2-H2 atmosphere, and to demonstrate why gases such as CH3Cl must have too large of a biomass to be a plausible biosignature gas on planets with Earth or early-Earth-like atmospheres orbiting a Sun-like star. To construct the biomass models, we developed a functional classification of biosignature gases, and found that gases (such as CH4, H2S, and N2O) produced from life that extracts energy from chemical potential energy gradients will always have false positives because geochemistry has the same gases to work with as life does, and gases (such as DMS and CH3Cl) produced for secondary metabolic reasons are far less likely to have false positives but because of their highly specialized origin are more likely to be produced in small quantities. The biomass model estimates are valid to one or two orders of magnitude; the goal is an independent approach to testing whether a biosignature gas is plausible rather than a precise quantification of atmospheric biosignature gases and their corresponding biomasses.

description: Large earthquakes are sometimes observed to trigger other large earthquakes on nearby faults. The magnitudes of the calculated Coulomb stress transfers presumed to cause the triggering are 10⁻²–10⁻³ of the earthquake stress drops. The earthquake stress drops and the triggering delay times are similarly small with respect to the natural recurrence time of the earthquakes. This requires that both faults be simultaneously very close to the ends of their seismic cycles. Paleoseismological data show that for the same regions prior earthquakes have occurred in clusters of ruptures of several faults separated by long quiescent periods. Both observations suggest that synchronization is occurring between faults. Theory and observations indicate that synchronization can occur between nearby faults with positive stress coupling and intrinsic slip velocities within an entrainment threshold. In the south Iceland seismic zone, the central Nevada seismic belt, and the eastern California shear zone, several synchronous clusters that apparently act independently can be recognized. This behavior is the 3D equivalent of the phase locking that results in the seismic cycle of individual faults being dominated by large characteristic earthquakes, and for synchronization of fault segments along a given fault. Rupture patterns of repeated individual earthquakes or earthquake clusters are not identical in either the 2D or 3D cases. The state of this system, which exhibits strong indications of synchrony without exact repetition, may be called fuzzy synchrony.

description: Phenomena involving interactions among magnons, phonons, and photons in cavity magnomechanical systems have attracted considerable attention recently, owing to their potential applications in the microwave frequency range. One such important effect is the response of a probe field to such tripartite interaction between photon-magnon-phonon. In this paper, we study Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) of a reflected probe field in a cavity magnomechanical system. We consider a YIG sphere positioned within a microwave cavity. A microwave control field directly drives the magnon mode in YIG sphere, whereas the cavity is driven via a weak probe field. Our results show that the GHS can be coherently controlled through magnon-phonon coupling via the control field. For instance, GHS can be tuned from positive to negative by tuning the magnon-phonon coupling. Similarly, the effective cavity detuning is another important controlling parameter for GHS. Furthermore, we observe that the enhancement of GHS occurs when magnon-phonon coupling is weak at resonance, and when the magnon-photon coupling is approximately equal to the loss of microwave photons. Our findings may have potential significance in applications related to microwave switching and sensing.

description: Fusing satellite imagery acquired with different sensors has been a long-standing challenge of Earth observation, particularly across different modalities such as optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Here, we explore the joint analysis of imagery from different sensors in the light of representation learning: we propose to learn a joint embedding of multiple satellite sensors within a deep neural network. Our application problem is the monitoring of lake ice on Alpine lakes. To reach the temporal resolution requirement of the Swiss Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) office, we combine three image sources: Sentinel-1 SAR (S1-SAR), Terra MODIS, and Suomi-NPP VIIRS. The large gaps between the optical and SAR domains and between the sensor resolutions make this a challenging instance of the sensor fusion problem. Our approach can be classified as a late fusion that is learned in a data-driven manner. The proposed network architecture has separate encoding branches for each image sensor, which feed into a single latent embedding. I.e., a common feature representation shared by all inputs, such that subsequent processing steps deliver comparable output irrespective of which sort of input image was used. By fusing satellite data, we map lake ice at a temporal resolution of < 1.5 days. The network produces spatially explicit lake ice maps with pixel-wise accuracies > 91% (respectively, mIoU scores > 60%) and generalises well across different lakes and winters. Moreover, it sets a new state-of-the-art for determining the important ice-on and ice-off dates for the target lakes, in many cases meeting the GCOS requirement.

description: This study investigates projected changes in the length of the tropical cyclone season due to greenhouse gas increases. Two sets of simulations are analyzed, both of which capture the relevant features of the observed annual cycle of tropical cyclones in the recent historical record. Both sets use output from the general circulation models (GCMs) of either phase 3 or phase 5 of the CMIP suite (CMIP3 and CMIP5, respectively). In one set, downscaling is performed by randomly seeding incipient vortices into the large-scale atmospheric conditions simulated by each GCM and simulating the vortices’ evolution in an axisymmetric dynamical tropical cyclone model; in the other set, the GCMs’ sea surface temperature (SST) is used as the boundary condition for a high-resolution global atmospheric model (HiRAM). The downscaling model projects a longer season (in the late twenty-first century compared to the twentieth century) in most basins when using CMIP5 data but a slightly shorter season using CMIP3. HiRAM with either CMIP3 or CMIP5 SST anomalies projects a shorter tropical cyclone season in most basins. Season length is measured by the number of consecutive days that the mean cyclone count is greater than a fixed threshold, but other metrics give consistent results. The projected season length changes are also consistent with the large-scale changes, as measured by a genesis index of tropical cyclones. The season length changes are mostly explained by an idealized year-round multiplicative change in tropical cyclone frequency, but additional changes in the transition months also contribute.

description: For multi-input multi-output (MIMO) K-user interference networks, we propose the use of a channel transformation technique for joint detection of the useful and interference signals in an interference alignment scenario. We coin our detection technique as "pseudo-lattice treatment" and show that applying our technique, we can alleviate limitations facing Lattice Interference Alignment (L-IA). We show that for a 3-user interference network, two of the users can have their interference aligned in lattice structure through precoding. For the remaining user, performance gains in decoding subspace interference aligned signals at the receiver are achieved using our channel transformation technique. Our "pseudo-lattice" technique can also be applied at all users in case of Subspace Interference Alignment (S-IA). We investigate different solutions for applying channel transformation at the third receiver and evaluate performance for these techniques. Simulations are conducted to show the performance gain in using our pseudo-lattice method over other decoding techniques using different modulation schemes.

description: We consider the C-metric as a gravitational field configuration that describes an accelerating black hole in the presence of a semi-infinite cosmic string, along the accelerating direction. We adopt the expression for the gravitational energy-momentum developed in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) and obtain a possible explanation for the acceleration of the black hole. The gravitational energy enclosed by surfaces of constant radius around the black hole is evaluated, and in particular the energy contained within the gravitational horizon is obtained. This energy turns out to be proportional to the square root of the area of the horizon. We find that the gravitational energy of the semi-infinite cosmic string is negative and dominant for large values of the radius of integration. This negative energy may explain the acceleration of the black hole, that moves towards regions of lower gravitational energy along the string.

description: Seit der Reformdekade um 1968 gilt ‚Ideologiekritik‘ als religionspädagogischer Strukturbegriff. Selbst wenn von einer durchgehenden, aber dünnen Tradition der Ideologiekritik im Religionsunterricht gesprochen werden kann, hat deren konzeptionelle Bedeutung seit Mitte der 70er-Jahre nachgelassen. Ausgehend von berechtigter Kritik versuchen wir den Begriff ‚Ideologiekritik‘ als religionsdidaktisches Lernprinzip neu zu denken. Exemplarisch veranschaulichen wir diese Überlegungen für den Religionsunterricht anhand des kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Ansatzes der Framing-Analyse. Mit ihrer Hilfe können im Religionsunterricht mediale Diskurse über Religion, z.B. die sogenannte ‚Kopftuchdebatte‘, ideologiekritisch untersucht werden.
description: ‚Critique of ideology‘ has been a main concept in religious education since the social and cultural reforms in the decade around 1968. Even though ideology-critical religious education may be grounded in a continuous, yet weak thinking tradition, the theoretical relevance of this concept has constantly declined from the mid-70s onwards. This paper presents an attempt to rethink ‚critique of ideology‘ as a contemporary didactic principle, taking into account justified criticism. These considerations are illustrated by utilizing the communication-theoretical approach of ‚frame analysis‘ for religious education in schools. By means of this method media discourses on religion, e.g. the so-called ‚headscarf debate‘, may be examined ideology-critically.

description: We derive the exact actions of the $Q$-state Potts model valid on any graph, first for the spin degrees of freedom, and second for the Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters. In both cases the field is a traceless $Q$-component scalar field $Φ^α$. For the Ising model ($Q=2$), the field theory for the spins has upper critical dimension $d_{\rm c}^{\rm spin}=4$, whereas for the clusters it has $d_{\rm c}^{\rm cluster}=6$. As a consequence, the probability for three points to be in the same cluster is not given by mean-field theory for $d$ within $4

description: We couple the L1 discretization for Caputo derivative in time with spectral Galerkin method in space to devise a scheme that solves quasilinear subdiffusion equations. Both the diffusivity and the source are allowed to be nonlinear functions of the solution. We prove method's stability and convergence with spectral accuracy in space. The temporal order depends on solution's regularity in time. Further, we support our results with numerical simulations that utilize parallelism for spatial discretization. Moreover, as a side result we find asymptotic exact values of error constants along with their remainders for discretizations of Caputo derivative and fractional integrals. These constants are the smallest possible which improves the previously established results from the literature.

description: An attempt to construct a cosmological scenario directly from string theory is made. Cosmological string theory was presented by Antoniadis, Bachas, Ellis and Nanopoulos. They also expect loop effects on cosmological string theory. In this paper, we point out the other importance of the one-loop effect, the finite temperature effect. The equations of motion for background geometry at finite temperature are given. We address a problem on derivation of the effective action at nonzero temperature.

From amorphous aggregates to polymer bundles: The role of stiffness on structural phases in polymer aggregation

description: We study the aggregation transition of a finite theta-polymer system in dependence on the bending stiffness $κ$ with the help of parallel multicanonical simulations. In order to distinguish amorphous aggregates from polymer bundles we introduce an order parameter, measuring the correlation of the end-to-end vectors. With the help of this order parameter, we construct generic $T$-$κ$ phase diagrams for systems with $2$ and $8$ polymers and discuss the occurring phases from amorphous aggregates to bundle structures. For an intermediate stiffness range we find multiple aggregated phases which change with increasing number of polymers and discuss their nature with the help of microcanonical analyses. We show that the stiffness of semiflexible theta polymers is the distinguishing parameter for the emergent structural motifs.

On the Variability and Predictability of Eastern Pacific Tropical Cyclone Activity

description: Variability in tropical cyclone activity in the eastern Pacific basin has been linked to a wide range of climate factors, yet the dominant factors driving this variability have yet to be identified. Using Poisson regressions and a track clustering method, the authors analyze and compare the climate influence on cyclone activity in this region. The authors show that local sea surface temperature and upper-ocean heat content as well as large-scale conditions in the northern Atlantic are the dominant influence in modulating eastern North Pacific tropical cyclone activity. The results also support previous findings suggesting that the influence of the Atlantic Ocean occurs through changes in dynamical conditions over the eastern Pacific. Using model selection algorithms, the authors then proceed to construct a statistical model of eastern Pacific tropical cyclone activity. The various model selection techniques used agree in selecting one predictor from the Atlantic (northern North Atlantic sea surface temperature) and one predictor from the Pacific (relative sea surface temperature) to represent the best possible model. Finally, we show that this simple model could have predicted the anomalously high level of activity observed in 2014.

description: Using low-energy electron diffraction, we show that the room-temperature $(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2})R45^\circ$ reconstruction of Fe$_3$O$_4$(100) reversibly disorders at $\sim$450 $^\circ$C. Short-range order persists above the transition, suggesting that the transition is second order and Ising-like. We interpret the transition in terms of a model in which sub-surface Fe$^{3+}$ is replaced by Fe$^{2+}$ as the temperature is raised. This model reproduces the structure of antiphase boundaries previously observed with STM as well as the continuous nature of the transition. To account for the observed transition temperature, the energy cost of each charge rearrangement is 82 meV.

description: Im Gesamtthema des ÖRF ‚Religionspädagogik und Politik‘ fokussiert sich dieser Artikel auf Spannungen zwischen staatlichen Reglementierungen und Religionsfreiheit am Beispiel von Frankreich. Dort ist der Staat maßgeblich an Entscheidungen, die die Religion betreffen, durch das Gesetz von 1905 zur Trennung von Staat und Kirche(n),
beteiligt. Bereits innerhalb dieses Gesetzes werden Divergenzen deutlich. Diese sollen mittels historischem und juristischem Hintergrundwissen sowie konkreten Beispielen des Umgangs damit, aus dem Alltag von Angestellten in öffentlichen Schulen, aufgezeigt werden.
description: In the overall theme of the ÖRF, Religious Education and Politics, this article focuses on tensions between state regulation and religious freedom, using the example of France. There, the state is significantly involved in making decisions that affect religion, through the law of 1905 on Separation of Church(es) and the State. Already within this law divergences become clear. These should be demonstrated by means of
historical and legal background knowledge as well as concrete examples of dealing with it from the everyday life of employees in public schools.

description: Xenopus Boiei Wagler, 1827
Wagler, 1827. Isis v. Oken, 20: 726.
 Current name: Xenopus laevis (Daudin, 1802)
Syntypes: possibly RMNH 2267, 4 spec. Loc.: Cap [Cape of Good Hope, Rep. South Africa]. Leg.: H.B. van Horstok.
 Remarks. The type material consisted of specimens from H. Boie’s collection. Wagler (1827: 726) mentioned a specimen “im Leydner Cabinete” [RMNH]. The Leiden museum records and the oldest label on the jar indicate that the specimens from RMNH 2267 were first identified as Xenopus Boiei, suggesting that they belonged to the original type series.

description: DBSP_DRP is a python package that provides fully automated data reduction of data taken by the Double Spectrograph (DBSP) at the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory (Oke & Gunn, 1982). The underlying data reduction functionality to extract 1D spectra, perform flux calibration and correction for atmospheric absorption, and coadd spectra together is provided by PypeIt (Prochaska et al., 2020). The new functionality that DBSP_DRP brings is in orchestrating the complex data reduction process by making smart decisions so that no user input is required after verifying the correctness of the metadata in the raw FITS files in a table-like GUI. Though the primary function of DBSP_DRP is to automatically reduce an entire night of data without user input, it has the flexibility for astronomers to fine-tune the data reduction with GUIs for manually identifying the faintest objects, as well as exposing the full set of PypeIt parameters to be tweaked for users with particular science needs. DBSP_DRP also handles some of the occasional quirks specific to DBSP, such as swapping FITS header cards, adding (an) extra null byte/s to FITS files making them not conform to the FITS specification, and not writing the coordinates of the observation to file. Additionally, DBSP_DRP contains a quicklook script for making real-time decisions during an observing run, and can open a GUI displaying a minimally reduced exposure in under 15 seconds. Docker containers are available for ease of deploying DBSP_DRP in its quicklook configuration (without some large atmospheric model files) or in its full configuration.

description: Objective: Our aim is to determine if data collected with inertial measurement units (IMUs) during steady-state running could be used to estimate ground reaction forces (GRFs) and to derive biomechanical variables (e.g., contact time, impulse, change in velocity) using lightweight machine-learning approaches. In contrast, state-of-the-art estimation using LSTMs suffers from prohibitive inference times on edge devices, requires expensive training and hyperparameter optimization, and results in black box models. Methods: We proposed a novel lightweight solution, SVD Embedding Regression (SER), using linear regression between SVD embeddings of IMU data and GRF data. We also compared lightweight solutions including SER and k-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN) regression with state-of-the-art LSTMs. Results: We performed extensive experiments to evaluate these techniques under multiple scenarios and combinations of IMU signals and quantified estimation errors for predicting GRFs and biomechanical variables. We did this using training data from different athletes, from the same athlete, or both, and we explored the use of acceleration and angular velocity data from sensors at different locations (sacrum and shanks). Conclusion: Our results illustrated that lightweight solutions such as SER and KNN can be similarly accurate or more accurate than LSTMs. The use of personal data reduced estimation errors of all methods, particularly for most biomechanical variables (as compared to GRFs); moreover, this gain was more pronounced in the lightweight methods. Significance: The study of GRFs is used to characterize the mechanical loading experienced by individuals in movements such as running, which is clinically applicable to identify athletes at risk for stress-related injuries.
