description: Closed-loop control algorithms for real-time calibration of quantum processors require efficient filters that can estimate physical error parameters based on streams of measured quantum circuit outcomes. Development of such filters is complicated by the highly nonlinear relationship relationship between observed circuit outcomes and the magnitudes of elementary errors. In this work, we apply the extended Kalman filter to data from quantum gate set tomography to provide a streaming estimator of the both the system error model and its uncertainties. Our numerical examples indicate extended Kalman filtering can achieve similar performance to maximum likelihood estimation, but with dramatically lower computational cost. With our method, a standard laptop can process one- and two-qubit circuit outcomes and update gate set error model at rates comparable with current experimental execution.

description: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer a sensitive method of measuring the spatially localized dynamics of magnetization and associated spin textures in ferromagnetic materials. We use NV centers in a deterministically positioned nanodiamond to demonstrate off-resonant detection of GHz-scale microwave field driven oscillations of a single domain wall (DW). The technique exploits the enhanced relaxation of NV center spins due to the broadband stray fields generated by an oscillating DW pinned at an engineered defect in a lithographically patterned ferromagnetic nanowire. Discrepancies between the observed DW oscillation frequency and predictions from micromagnetic simulations suggest extreme sensitivity of DW dynamics to patterning imperfections such as edge roughness. These experiments and simulations identify potential pathways toward quantum spintronic devices that exploit current driven DWs as nanoscale microwave generators for qubit control, greatly increasing the driving field at an NV center and thus drastically reducing the π pulse time.

description: This paper presents the FormAI dataset, a large collection of 112, 000 AI-generated compilable and independent C programs with vulnerability classification. We introduce a dynamic zero-shot prompting technique constructed to spawn diverse programs utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs). The dataset is generated by GPT-3.5-turbo and comprises programs with varying levels of complexity. Some programs handle complicated tasks like network management, table games, or encryption, while others deal with simpler tasks like string manipulation. Every program is labeled with the vulnerabilities found within the source code, indicating the type, line number, and vulnerable function name. This is accomplished by employing a formal verification method using the Efficient SMT-based Bounded Model Checker (ESBMC), which uses model checking, abstract interpretation, constraint programming, and satisfiability modulo theories to reason over safety/security properties in programs. This approach definitively detects vulnerabilities and offers a formal model known as a counterexample, thus eliminating the possibility of generating false positive reports. We have associated the identified vulnerabilities with Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) numbers. We make the source code available for the 112, 000 programs, accompanied by a separate file containing the vulnerabilities detected in each program, making the dataset ideal for training LLMs and machine learning algorithms. Our study unveiled that according to ESBMC, 51.24% of the programs generated by GPT-3.5 contained vulnerabilities, thereby presenting considerable risks to software safety and security.

description: Estuaries are diverse systems characterized by a bidirectional exchange flow, with a near-bottom landward inflow of saline seawater, which is mixed with riverine freshwater and transformed into a near-surface outflow. Aside from the density gradient between the river and the ocean, wind is a key mechanism in estuaries. The present study shows results describing the influence of wind on the estuarine exchange flow. A newly derived analytical formulation of wind-driven along-estuary velocity profiles motivates a critical basic Wedderburn as a measure for the sensitivity of an estuary to wind.

description: The First IUFRO-FORNESSA Regional Congress held in Kenya from 25-29 June, the "Forests for People" conference in Austria in May and other important meetings and news are highlighted in this issue.
The main focus of the extremely successful first IUFRO/FORNESSA Regional Congress in Nairobi this June was on the impact of forest science on the conservation and sustainable management and use of forest and tree resources primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa. The "Forests for People" conference held in Austria in May, which was also most successful, offered a platform to discuss global trends, examine the role of forests in a broader societal context and, define emerging key issues of strong interest to policy makers, society and groups inside and outside the forest sector. The conference certainly underlined the need for social science in forestry. Entomological research in Mediterranean forest ecosystems was highlighted at the MEDINSECT 3 conference in Hammamet, Tunisia in May. A series of interesting announcements ranging from new publications to open positions and upcoming meetings etc. rounds off this double issue of IUFRO News.
The influence of silica fertilization on the resistance of grapevines to powdery mildew

Year: 2015

description: Six different Vitis cultivars grown in recirculating nutrient solutions supplied with 0, 10 and 112 mg.l-1 SiO2, respectively, were infected with spores of the powdery mildew fungus Uncinula necator and analyzed after 2, 4 and 6 weeks. Whereas the size of the silica endoskeletons induced by the powdery mildew was influenced by the SiO2 concentration, the cultivar-specific resistance could not be increased. However, after 2 weeks all varieties showed a slightly but significantly enhanced resistance in the 112 mg.l-1 solution which disappeared during the following weeks. The results show silica to be essential for a normal powdery mildew resistance but make evident that the Oidium susceptibility of cultivars cannot be overcome by supplementary silica fertilization in the field, the Si contents of most soil solutions being far above the minimal requirements of the grapevine.

description: Wounds caused by feeding of grape phylloxera on grape roots can become infected with a variety of fungi. Fusarium roseum, F. oxysporum and Pythium ultimum are important in Vitis vinifera Chardonnay wounds whereas F. oxysporum and Cephalosporium sp. are important for the moderately tolerant rootstock AXR#1. Proportion of root lengths infected in the phloem parenchyma were measured in two vineyards through the 1996 growing season and into the winter. Infection rates were highest in spring (as measured in May) but decreased to a low level by the end of summer. There was a second infection peak in fall. We suggest that the decline in fungal infections was due to death of highly infected roots and their removal from the sampled pool of roots. Loss of roots is a logical cause of vine decline and explains why there have been poor correlations between phylloxera populations and vine damage symptoms.

description: Afin de rechercher I' origine des amines biogènes, nous avons dosé les acides aminés d'un grand nombre d'échantillons de vin. Une méthode de CLHP utilisant la détection par fluorimétrie des dérivés o-phtaldialdéhyde (OPA) a été adaptée pour séparer spécifiquement les acides aminés, précurseurs des amines biogénes. La séparation a été effectuée à l'aide de deux colonnes en série de type phase inverse C18 Lichrospher 100 RP18. Cette méthode permet l'analyse de 16 échantillons par 24 h à l'aide d'un passeur/préparateur automatique. Son évaluation montre qu'elle présente une linéarite satisfaisante et que sa répetabilité est excellente (CV=2,29 à 7,25 %). La variabilité intralaboratoire montre qu'il existe peu d'écart parmi les analyses effectuées dans les différents jours. HPLC method adapted for the determination of amino acids in wine To investigate the origin of biogenic amines, we have determined the amino acid content of a large number of wine samples. An HPLC method with fluorescence detection of OPA derivatives was adapted to separate specifically the amino acids which are the precursors of biogenic amines. The separation was effected by means of two columns of Lichrosphere 100 RP18. This method allows the analysis of 16 samples per 24 h, by means of an autosampler, and shows a satisfactory linearity and an excellent repeatability (CV = 2.29 to 7.25 %). The intralaboratory variability was judged to be satisfactory; the deviation between the results, obtained on different days of the analysis of the same sample, was small.

A large deformation theory for coupled swelling and growth with application to growing tumors and bacterial biofilms
Creators: name: Senthilnathan, Chockalingam

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: There is significant interest in modelling the mechanics and physics of growth of soft biological systems such as tumors and bacterial biofilms. Solid tumors account for more than 85% of cancer mortality and bacterial biofilms account for a significant part of all human microbial infections.These growing biological systems are a mixture of fluid and solid components and increase their mass by intake of diffusing species such as fluids and nutrients (swelling) and subsequent conversion of some of the diffusing species into solid material (growth). Experiments indicate that these systems swell by large amounts and that the swelling and growth are intrinsically coupled. However, many existing theories for swelling coupled growth employ linear poroelasticity, which is limited to small swelling deformations, and employ phenomenological prescriptions for the dependence of growth rate on concentration of diffusing species and the stress-state in the system. In particular, the termination of growth is enforced through the prescription of a critical concentration of diffusing species and a homeostatic stress. In contrast, by developing a fully coupled swelling-growth theory that accounts for large swelling through nonlinear poroelasticity, we show that the emergent driving stress for growth automatically captures all the above phenomena. Further, we show that for the soft growing systems considered here, the effects of the homeostatic stress and critical concentration can be encapsulated under a single notion of a critical swelling ratio. The applicability of the theory is shown by its ability to capture experimental observations of growing tumors and biofilms under various mechanical and diffusion-consumption constraints. Additionally, compared to generalized mixture theories, our theory is amenable to relatively easy numerical implementation with a minimal physically motivated parameter space.

description: Quantum autoencoder is a quantum neural network model for compressing information stored in quantum states. However, one needs to process information stored in quantum circuits for many tasks in the emerging quantum information technology. In this work, generalizing the ideas of classical and quantum autoencoder, we introduce the model of Quantum Circuit AutoEncoder (QCAE) to compress and encode information within quantum circuits. We provide a comprehensive protocol for QCAE and design a variational quantum algorithm, varQCAE, for its implementation. We theoretically analyze this model by deriving conditions for lossless compression and establishing both upper and lower bounds on its recovery fidelity. Finally, we apply varQCAE to three practical tasks and numerical results show that it can effectively (1) compress the information within quantum circuits, (2) detect anomalies in quantum circuits, and (3) mitigate the depolarizing noise in quantum devices. This suggests that our algorithm is potentially applicable to other information processing tasks for quantum circuits.

description: Cryotolerant Saccharomyces strains were isolated from grape must (Pinot noir) using the enrichment method (CASTELLARI et al. 1992). Eleven cryotolerant strains were collected which all belonged to the S. uvarum species (Melibiose test and karyotype). Fermentations were carried out at 10 and 25 °C, the level of fermentation products was compared with those produced by mesophilic yeasts. Regardless of temperature, cryotolerant yeasts (SY055 and 12233) produced twice as many isobutyl and isoamyl alcohols as mesophilic yeast (FB) and 2-phenethyl alcohol was produced by cryotolerant yeasts at levels 4 times as high as by mesophilic yeasts. The potential of these yeasts for oenological application is discussed.

description: We consider a closed quantum system subjected to stochastic Poissonian resetting with rate $r$ to its initial state. Resetting drives the system to a nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) with a mixed density matrix which has both classical and quantum correlations. We provide a general framework to study these NESS correlations for a closed quantum system with a general Hamiltonian $H$. We then apply this framework to a simple model of a pair of ferromagnetically coupled spins, starting from state $\mid\downarrow\downarrow \rangle$ and resetting to the same state with rate $r$. We compute exactly the NESS density matrix of the full system. This then provides access to three basic observables, namely (i) the von Neumann entropy of a subsystem (ii) the fidelity between the NESS and the initial density matrix and (iii) the concurrence in the NESS (that provides a measure of the quantum entanglement in a mixed state), as a function of the two parameters: the resetting rate and the interaction strength. One of our main conclusions is that a nonzero resetting rate and a nonzero interaction strength generates quantum entanglement in the NESS (quantified by a nonzero concurrence) and moreover this concurrence can be maximized by appropriately choosing the two parameters. Our results show that quantum resetting provides a simple and effective mechanism to enhance entanglement between two parts of an interacting quantum system.

description: This work presents the results of a kinematic analysis of the Galaxy that uses a new model as applied to the newest available Gaia data. We carry out the Taylor decomposition of the velocity field up to second order for 18 million high luminosity stars (i.e. OBAF-type stars, giants and subgiants) from the Gaia DR3 data. We determine the components of mean stellar velocities and their first and second partial derivatives (relative to cylindrical coordinates) for more than 28 thousand points in the plane of our Galaxy. We estimate Oort's constants $A$, $B$, $C$, and $K$ and other kinematics parameters and map them as a function of Galactocentric coordinates. The values found confirm the results of our previous works and are in excellent agreement with those obtained by other authors in the Solar neighbourhood. In addition, the introduction of second order partial derivatives of the stellar velocity field allows us to determine the values of the vertical gradient of the Galaxy azimuthal, radial and vertical velocities. Also, we determine the mean of the Galaxy rotation curve for Galactocentric distances from 4 kpc to 18 kpc by averaging Galactic azimuths in the range -30$^\circ$ < $θ$ < +30$^\circ$ about the direction Galactic Centre-Sun-Galactic anticentre. Maps of the velocity components and of their partial derivatives with respect to coordinates within 10 kpc of the Sun reveal complex substructures, which provide clear evidence of non-axisymmetric features of the Galaxy. Finally, we show evidence of differences in the Northern and Southern hemispheres stellar velocity fields.

Photochemical and non-photochemical responses of glasshouse-grown grape to combined light and water stress

description: Riesling and Müller-Thurgau vines cultivated in a glasshouse at maximal 400 µmol quanta·m-2s-1 were exposed to water logging and subsequently to decreasing soil moisture contents (SMC) until severe drought stress occurred. In the course of the daily applied light treatments, consisting of stepwise increases of light intensity from 0 to 3200 µmol·m-2s-1 with intermittent stabilisation phases, the Fv/Fm of dark-adapted and the Fv/F'm ratios of light-adapted leaves were determined by chlorophyll fluorescence measure ments. At moderate SMC (21 %) quantum yield of PSII (Y) of Muller-Thurgau leaves decreased when photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) increased beyond 400 µmol·m-2s-1. Water stress (water logging and drought) led to a more precipitous decrease, indicating an increased sensitivity of Y to the combined stresses. The deviation of the electron transport rates from (theoretical) maximum quantum yield ("excessive PAR") increased with increasing PAR and was higher in water-stressed than in moderately irrigated vines. Nonphotochemical quenching started to increase at relatively low PAR (400 µmol·m-2s-1) and reached saturation at 1600 µmol·m-2s-1; values were higher in water-stressed vines than in moderately irrigated vines. Riesling and Müller-Thurgau vines showed photoinhibition of photosynthesis at high PAR; water logging and drought intensified this tendency. The extent of photoinhibition was higher in Müller-Thurgau than in Riesling leaves. Even under most severe stress conditions photoinhibition was transient, suggesting complete overnight repair of PSII in both varieties.

description: Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves were recorded from leaves of eight Vitis varieties grown in South-West India, viz. Thompson Seedless, Sonaka, Anab-E-Shahi, Kishmish Charni, Tas-A-Ganesh, Black Monuka, Bangalore Purple and American Dogridge belonging to the Vitis vinifera, V. labrusca and V. champini species. The TL peaks were analysed, using a computer-assisted model based on the general order kinetics theory, to determine thermodynamical parameters such as activation energy, entropy, frequency factor and free energy. It was observed that all six V. vinifera samples showed an entirely different TL pattern consisting of only one prominent and highly narrow peak at around -5 degrees C (peak II). The prominence of this peak attributed to S2/S3 Qa- recombination suggests a modification at the plastoquinone electron acceptor sites. On the other hand, the remaining two varieties Bangalore Purple and American Dogridge showed broader TL spectra consisting of a higher number of peaks. This basic difference is attributed to the difference in species of the selected varieties. Moreover, the TL recorded from Bangalore Purple resembled the standard TL spectra of spinach. The study undertaken in this paper may be relevant in grape breeding programs.

description: Most biofilms involved in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are polymicrobial, with disease causing (eg Escherichia coli) and atypical microorganisms (eg Delftia tsuruhatensis) frequently inhabiting the same catheter. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the role of atypical microorganisms. Here, single and dual-species biofilms consisting of E. coli and atypical bacteria (D. tsuruhatensis and Achromobacter xylosoxidans), were evaluated. All species were good biofilm producers (Log 5.84–7.25 CFU cm−2 at 192 h) in artificial urine. The ability of atypical species to form a biofilm appeared to be hampered by the presence of E. coli. Additionally, when E. coli was added to a pre-formed biofilm of the atypical species, it seemed to take advantage of the first colonizers to accelerate adhesion, even when added at lower concentrations. The results suggest a greater ability of E. coli to form biofilms in conditions mimicking the CAUTIs, whatever the pre-existing microbiota and the inoculum concentration.

description: Sixty-six grapevine and rootstock cultivars from an Austrian germplasm collection were genotyped using the following 10 microsatellite loci: VVS1, VVS2, VVS3, VVS4 (THOMAS and SCOTT 1993), VVS29 (THOMAS, pers. comm.), VVMD5, VVMD7 (BOWERS et al. 1996), VVMD28, VVMD32 and VVMD36 (BOWERS and MEREDITH, pers, comm.). All cultivars except those which are thought to be closely related (e.g. Portugieser blau and Portugieser grun) provided unique allelic profiles. A phenogram based on pairwise similarity values revealed the separation of rootstock cultivars from the Vitis vinifera varieties. The probability for the presence of null alleles was estimated from heterozygote deficiencies and null alleles were statistically excluded at 9 of the 10 loci. In order to demonstrate the distinctive power of the microsatellite markers investigated, gene diversity (GD) values were calculated. For both grapevine and rootstock cultivars we estimated a GD range from 0.70 to 0.91, while GD values for grapevines only range from 0.52 to 0.87 and values for rootstocks from 0.29 to 0.86.

A series of IUFRO meetings on topical themes are highlighted in this issue of IUFRO News. The International Conference on "Multipurpose Forest Ecosystem Management in a Changing Environment” in Nanning, China, concluded, among other things that a multipurpose forest ecosystem management would be one effective option for the forests of the future and science should form the bedrock of the forest ecosystem management. The conference on "Research priorities in tropical silviculture: towards new paradigms?" in Montpellier, France, emphasised the need to promote tropical silviculture to ensure the conservation of a major share of tropical forests whilst deriving economic benefits from them. Furthermore, over 60 forestry researchers and academicians from 12 Asian countries participated in a workshop to share and exchange experiences and information on conservation of several valuable and threatened forest tree species in the region.

The long-lasting effect of X-ray preheating in the post-reionization intergalactic medium

description: X-ray photons can penetrate deep into the intergalactic medium (IGM), leading to preheating of the IGM prior to cosmic reionization. X-ray preheating wipes out some of the small-scale structures that would otherwise be present prior to the passage of an ionization front. Accurate modeling of the small-scale structure is vital to the post-reionization IGM since the small-scale structure is ultimately the dominant source of long-lasting relics from hydrogen reionization. However, the precise impact of X-ray preheating in the fossils from hydrogen reionization is highly uncertain. In this work, we explore and establish for the first time, the long-lasting impact of X-ray preheating in the post-reionization IGM via hydrodynamic simulations with high-mass resolution. We find that the addition of X-ray preheating astrophysics leads to an overall lesser impact of the effect of inhomogeneous reionization in the Lyman-$α$ forest -- depending on specific X-ray prescription -- at low redshifts ($z \sim 2$) with respect to a model with no X-ray preheating. However, at high redshifts ($z \sim 4$), our results indicate a strengthening of the relics of reionization in the Lyman-$α$ forest because the IGM becomes more transparent compared to the scenario with no preheating. Thus, the absence of X-ray preheating in Lyman-$α$ modeling can lead to a biased inference of cosmological parameters. Nevertheless, optimistically, the inclusion of X-ray preheating emerges as a promising novel avenue to probe the astrophysics of cosmic dawn.

description: In the present work, considering the conservation of isospin in the strong decays, we investigate the strong decays of the pentaquark molecule candidate $P_c(4312)$ and its possible higher isospin cousin $P_c(4330)$ in the framework of the QCD sum rules. What's more, the pole residue of the $Δ$ baryon with isospin eigenstate $|II_3\rangle=|\frac{3}{2}\frac{1}{2}\rangle$ is obtained. If the possible pentaquark molecule candidate $P_c(4330)$ could be testified in the future experiment, it would shed light on interpretations of the $P_c$ states.

description: In this study, we investigate the real-time dynamics during the spontaneous deformation of an unstable spherical black hole in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. For the initial value, the static solutions with spherical symmetry are obtained numerically, revealing the presence of a spinodal region in the phase diagram. From the linear stability analysis, we find that only the central part of such a thermodynamically unstable spinodal region leads to the emergence of a type of axial instability. To trigger the dynamical instability, an axial perturbation is imposed on the scalar field. As a result, by the fully nonlinear dynamical simulation, the spherical symmetry of the gravitational system is broken spontaneously, leading to the formation of an axisymmetric black hole.
