description: Results of decay spectroscopy on nuclei in vicinity of the doubly magic 48Ni are presented. The measurements were performed with a Time Projection Chamber with optical readout which records tracks of ions and protons in the gaseous volume. Six decays of 48Ni including four events of two-proton ground-state radioactivity were recorded. An advanced reconstruction procedure yielded the 2p decay energy for 48Ni of Q2p = 1.29(4) MeV. In addition, the energy spectra of \b{eta}-delayed protons emitted in the decays of 44Cr and 46Fe, as well as half-lives and branching ratios were determined. The results were found to be consistent with the previous measurements made with Si detectors. A new proton line in the decay of 44Cr corresponding to the decay energy of 760 keV is reported. The first evidence for the \b{eta}2p decay of 46 Fe, based on one clear event, is shown.

description: In recent times, several experiments have observed results that are in significant conflict with the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). Two neutrino experiments, LSND and MiniBooNE (MB) have reported electron-like signal excesses above backgrounds. Both the Brookhaven and the Fermilab muon $g-2$ collaborations have measured values of this parameter which, while consistent with each other, are in conflict with the SM. Recently, the CDF II collaboration has reported a precision measurement of the $W$-boson mass that is in strong conflict with the SM prediction. It is worthwhile to seek new physics which may underly all four anomalies. In such a quest, the neutrino experiments could play a crucial role, because once a common solution to these anomalies is sought, LSND and MB, due to their highly restrictive requirements and observed final states, help to greatly narrow the multiplicity of new physics possibilities that are otherwise open to the $W$ mass and muon $g-2$ discrepancies. Pursuant to this, earlier work has shown that LSND, MB and the muon $g-2$ results can be understood in the context of a scalar extension of the SM which incorporates a second Higgs doublet and a dark sector singlet. We show that the same model leads to a contribution to the $W$ mass which is consistent with the recent CDF II measurement. While the LSND, MB fits and the muon $g-2$ results help determine the masses of the light scalars in the model, the calculation of the oblique parameters $S$ and $T$ determines the allowed mass ranges of the heavier pseudoscalar and the charged Higgs bosons as well as the effective Weinberg angle and its new range.

description: Tea is by and large a highly penetrated product in south India. Hence the adulteration risk in tea dust gets hiked in the markets. We constructed a standard database using plant plastid markers (rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA, rpoC, rpoB, ycf 1) and nuclear (ITS2) locus from prominent south Indian tea clones representing Assam, China, and Cambod varieties. These barcodes were used as reference algorithm to investigate the authenticity of 10 sampled commercial tea dust by recovering its DNA barcodes using rbcL, matK, and ITS2 loci. PCR amplification success, sequencing efficiency, genetic polymorphisms, BLAST search, and phylogenetic analysis were performed to enhance genotypic information on south tea cultivars and in authenticating the commercial samples of Camellia sinensis. Findings suggest that the chloroplast and nuclear loci can identify tea plant at the genus and varietal level respectively and rbcL as the potential marker for detecting plant-based admixtures coupled with TA cloning after DNA barcoding.

description: To progress in the comprehension of the double periodic variable (DPV) phenomenon, we analyse a series of optical spectra of the DPV system DQ Velorum during much of its long-term cycle. In addition, we investigate the evolutionary history of DQ Vel using theoretical evolutionary models to obtain the best representation for the current observed stellar and orbital parameters of the binary. We investigate the evolution of DQ Vel through theoretical evolutionary models to estimate the age and the mass transfer rate which are compared with those of its twin V393 Scorpii. Donor subtracted spectra covering around 60% of the long-term cycle, allow us to investigate time-modulated spectral variations of the gainer star plus the disc. We compare the observed stellar parameters of the system with a grid of theoretical evolutionary tracks computed under a conservative and a non-conservative evolution regime. We have found that the EW of Balmer and helium lines in the donor subtracted spectra are modulated with the long-term cycle. We observe a strenghtening in the EWs in all analysed spectral features at the minimum of the long-term cycle which might be related to an extra line emission during the maximum of the long-term variability. Difference spectra obtained at the secondary eclipse support this scenario. We have found that a non-conservative evolutionary model is a better representation for the current observed properties of the system. The best evolutionary model suggests that DQ Vel has an age of 7.40 x 10^{7} yr and is currently in a low mass transfer rate (-9.8x10^{-9} Msun/yr) stage, after a mass transfer burst episode. Comparing the evolutionary stages of DQ Vel and V393 Sco we observed that the former is an older system with a lower mass transfer rate. This might explain the differences observed in the physical parameters of their accretion discs.

description: For medical image semantic segmentation (MISS), Vision Transformers have emerged as strong alternatives to convolutional neural networks thanks to their inherent ability to capture long-range correlations. However, existing research uses off-the-shelf vision Transformer blocks based on linear projections and feature processing which lack spatial and local context to refine organ boundaries. Furthermore, Transformers do not generalize well on small medical imaging datasets and rely on large-scale pre-training due to limited inductive biases. To address these problems, we demonstrate the design of a compact and accurate Transformer network for MISS, CS-Unet, which introduces convolutions in a multi-stage design for hierarchically enhancing spatial and local modeling ability of Transformers. This is mainly achieved by our well-designed Convolutional Swin Transformer (CST) block which merges convolutions with Multi-Head Self-Attention and Feed-Forward Networks for providing inherent localized spatial context and inductive biases. Experiments demonstrate CS-Unet without pre-training outperforms other counterparts by large margins on multi-organ and cardiac datasets with fewer parameters and achieves state-of-the-art performance. Our code is available at Github.
Spin dynamics of a confined electron interacting with magnetic or nuclear spins: A semiclassical approach

description: A physically transparent and mathematically simple semiclassical model is employed to examine dynamics in the central-spin problem. The results reproduce a number of previous findings obtained by various quantum approaches and, at the same time, provide information on the electron spin dynamics and Berry's phase effects over a wider range of experimentally relevant parameters than available previously. This development is relevant to dynamics of bound magnetic polarons and spin dephasing of an electron trapped by an impurity or a quantum dot, and coupled by a contact interaction to neighboring localized magnetic impurities or nuclear spins. Furthermore, it substantiates the applicability of semiclassical models to simulate dynamic properties of spintronic nanostructures with a mesoscopic number of spins.

description: Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G. Lohmann (synonym Arrabidaea chica Verlot) is widely used in Brazilian folk medicine. Considering overcoming pitfalls of scaling up production of plant extracts, herein the effects of N2 atmosphere for extract spray-drying process is reported. Samples were monitored by in vitro antioxidant activity and microbiological evaluation. The drying atmosphere influenced 3-deoxyanthocyanines content when using air as atomizing gas, decreasing carajurin (37.5%) content with concomitant increase in luteolin yield (24.1%). Both drying processes preserved the pharmacological activity. In the cell migration test with HaCaT cells, the extract dried under air flow (5 μg/mL) promoted wound closure by 78% (12 hours) whereas the extract dried using N2 flow promoted 49% (12 hours), with 98% closure (12 hours) for the positive control. The antimicrobial evaluation for Staphylococcus aureus did not differ within drying atmospheres, with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) at 0.39 mg/mL. Therefore, the drying process reported herein did not interfere with the biological activity’s outcome.

description: With the rapid advance of Machine Learning techniques and the deep increase of availability of scientific data, data-driven approaches have started to become progressively popular across science, causing a fundamental shift in the scientific method after proving to be powerful tools with a direct impact in many areas of society. Nevertheless, when attempting to analyze dynamics of complex multiscale systems, the usage of standard Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and even standard Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) may lead to incorrect inferences and predictions, due to the presence of small scales leading to reduced or simplified models in the system that have to be applied consistently during the learning process. In this Chapter, we will address these issues in light of recent results obtained in the development of Asymptotic-Preserving Neural Networks (APNNs) for hyperbolic models with diffusive scaling. Several numerical tests show how APNNs provide considerably better results with respect to the different scales of the problem when compared with standard DNNs and PINNs, especially when analyzing scenarios in which only little and scattered information is available.

description: The FPGA/NIOS FIR filter based on linear prediction (LP) to suppress radio frequency interference (RFI) has been installed in several radio stations in the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) experiment. AERA observes coherent radio emission from extensive air showers induced by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays to make a detailed study of the development of the electromagnetic part of air showers. Radio signals provide complementary information to that obtained from Auger surface detectors, which are predominantly sensitive to the particle content of an air shower at the surface. The radio signals from air showers are caused by the coherent emission due to geomagnetic and charge-excess processes. These emissions can be observed in the frequency band between 10 - 100 MHz. However, this frequency range is significantly contaminated by narrow-band RFI and other human-made distortions. A FIR filter implemented in the FPGA logic segment of the front-end electronics of a radio sensor significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper we present first results of the efficiency of the adaptive LP FIR filter, deployed in real AERA station on pampas, with a comparison to the currently used IIR notch filter with constant coefficients. The laboratory tests confirms the stability of the filter. Using constant LP coefficients the suppression efficiency remains the same for hours, which corresponds to more than $\bf 10^{12}$ clock cycles. We compared in real conditions several variants of the LP FIR filter with various lengths and various coefficients widths (due to fixed-point representations in the FPGA logic) with the aim to minimize the power consumption for the radio station while keeping sufficient accuracy for noise reduction.

description: Efficient quantum control is necessary for practical quantum computing implementations with current technologies. Conventional algorithms for determining optimal control parameters are computationally expensive, largely excluding them from use outside of the simulation. Existing hardware solutions structured as lookup tables are imprecise and costly. By designing a machine learning model to approximate the results of traditional tools, a more efficient method can be produced. Such a model can then be synthesized into a hardware accelerator for use in quantum systems. In this study, we demonstrate a machine learning algorithm for predicting optimal pulse parameters. This algorithm is lightweight enough to fit on a low-resource FPGA and perform inference with a latency of 175 ns and pipeline interval of 5 ns with $~>~$0.99 gate fidelity. In the long term, such an accelerator could be used near quantum computing hardware where traditional computers cannot operate, enabling quantum control at a reasonable cost at low latencies without incurring large data bandwidths outside of the cryogenic environment.

description: We present an analysis of the 2011 photometric observations of TW Hya by the MOST satellite; this is the fourth continuous series of this type. The large-scale light variations are dominated by a strong, quasi-periodic 4.18 d oscillation with superimposed, apparently chaotic flaring activity; the former is most likely produced by stellar rotation with one large hot spot created by a stable accretion funnel in the stable regime of accretion while the latter may be produced by small hot spots, created at moderate latitudes by unstable accretion tongues. A new, previously unnoticed feature is a series of semi-periodic, well defined brightness dips of unknown nature of which 19 were observed during 43 days of our nearly-continuous observations. Re-analysis of the 2009 MOST light curve revealed the presence of 3 similar dips. On the basis of recent theoretical results, we tentatively conclude that the dips may represent occultations of the small hot spots created by unstable accretion tongues by hypothetical optically thick clumps.

description: This is a Bsc-thesis in the Geography curriculum of University of Bern, which gives 10 ECTs, supervised by Bettina Schaefli. Abstract, translated from German: In order to understand the effects of climate change on the hydrosphere and to be able to predict future developments, it is essential to gain an overview of the the interplay of the processes. The influence of agriculture on the runoff behavior of water bodies in Switzerland is poorly understood. With the help of observed streamflow and and water temperature data from the monitoring station Payerne (VD) and the area statistics of the Federal Office for statistics, we tried to find a relation between agriculture and the runoff behavior of the Broye river. For this purpose, land use changes since 1920 were analyzed and trend analysis was applied to observed discharge. There are only minor changes in the land use, which can be explained by the forest police law. The discharge data shows strong annual and decadal variations, but no long-term trend. The water temperature on the other hand shows a temperature increase of + 0.44 °C per decade , between 1976 and 2018, which can be attributed to the increase in air temperature. This temperature increase and the increase in irrigation intensity lead to an increase evapotranspiration. The anthropogenic
 water extraction for irrigation is well evident especially in 2003. The precipitation in the Broye catchment shows changes in seasonality, namely an increase during the winter months, over the last 100 years. The discharge of the Broye shows no trend until the year 2018. Future possible changes in the seasonal precipitation patterns and runoff volumes pose challenges for farmers.

description: The overarching goal of this work has been that of devising novel methods for building functional neuromarkers from resting-state fMRI data to describe healthy and pathological human behaviour. Observing spontaneous uctuations of the BOLD signal, resting-state fMRI allows to have an insight into the functional organisation of the brain and to detect functional networks that are consistent across subjects. Studying how patterns of functional connectivity vary both in healthy subjects and in subjects a ected by a neurodegenerative disease is a way to shed light on the physiological and pathological mechanisms governing our nervous system. The rst part of this thesis is devoted to the description of fully data-driven feature extraction techniques based on clustering aimed at supporting the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease). The high-dimensional nature of resting state fMRI data implies the need of suitable feature selection techniques. Traditional univariate techniques are fast and straightforward to interpret, but are unable to unveil relationships among multiple features. For this reason, this work presents a methodology based on consensus clustering, a particular approach to the clustering problem that consists in combining di erent partitions of the same data set to produce more stable solutions. One of the objectives of fMRI data analysis is to determine regions that show an abnormal activity with respect to a healthy brain and this is often attained with comparative statistical models applied to single voxels or brain parcels within one or several functional networks. Here, stochastic rank aggregation is applied to identify brain regions that exhibit a coherent behaviour in groups of subjects a ected by the same disorder. The proposed methodology was validated on real data and the results are consistent with previous literature, thus indicating that this approach might be suitable to support early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases...

description: In recent times, device-independent certification of quantum states has been one of the intensively studied areas in quantum information. However, all such schemes utilise projective measurements which are practically difficult to generate. In this work, we consider the one-sided device-independent (1SDI) scenario, and propose a self-testing scheme for the two-qubit maximally entangled state using non-projective measurements, in particular, three three-outcome extremal POVM's. We also analyse the robustness of our scheme against white noise.

description: Using Virtual Observatory tools, we cross-matched the Carlsberg Meridian 14 and the 2MASS Point Source catalogs to select candidate nearby bright M dwarfs distributed over ~ 25,000 deg^2. Here, we present reconnaissance low-resolution optical spectra for 27 candidates that were observed with the Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph at the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (R ~ 1600). We derived spectral types from a new spectral index, R, which measures the ratio of fluxes at 7485-7015 A and 7120-7150 A. We also used VOSA, a Virtual Observatory tool for spectral energy distribution fitting, to derive effective temperatures and surface gravities for each candidate. The resulting 27 targets were M dwarfs brighter than J = 10.5 mag, 16 of which were completely new in the Northern hemisphere and 7 of which were located at less than 15 pc. For all of them, we also measured Hα and Na I pseudo-equivalent widths, determined photometric distances, and identified the most active stars. The targets with the weakest sodium absorption, namely J0422+2439 (with X-ray and strong Hα emissions, J0435+2523, and J0439+2333, are new members in the young Taurus-Auriga star-forming region based on proper motion, spatial distribution, and location in the color-magnitude diagram, which reopens the discussion on the deficit of M2-4 Taurus stars. Finally, based on proper motion diagrams, we report on a new wide M-dwarf binary system in the field, LSPM J0326+3929EW.

description: Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. (Zingiberaceae), or galangal, has been previously reported as active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) in vitro. The present study assessed a novel antitubercular mechanism of of galangal through M. tuberculosis shikimate kinase (MtSK) inhibitory assays. Sequential extractions of nonpolar solvents hexane and dichloromethane (DCM) were performed on galangal and screened in MtSK inhibitory assays to identify potential activity. Samples were then subjected to high resolution (HR) LC–MS chemical fingerprinting and analysis. Additionally, a novel approach was undertaken for galangal using methods such as mass professional profiler (MPP) and global natural products social (GNPS) molecular networking for structure elucidation.

description: The fundamental properties of molecules bridge experiment and theory. Transport properties (diffusion, thermal diffusion, thermal conductivity and viscosity) of binary mixtures are measurable in experiments, and well-defined in theory, but difficult to compute with high accuracy. In addition to high-accuracy inter-molecular potential energy curves (PECs), a reliable and high-order solution program that compute the properties based on the PECs is required. In this work, we present a computer program called Peng that performs the collision integration numerically, and solves the Boltzmann equation in Chapman-Enskog fashion. The program has been devised to perform both parts of the solution procedure to arbitrary order, so that no hard-coded limitation will prevent a user from computing at higher precision, except the amount of RAM and the required computational time. Peng is well-designed in an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) fashion, which make the program clear and easy to modify. In addition to the end-user oriented program, Peng is also compiled as a dynamic shared library that may readily be extended and embedded in users' programs.

description: Aloysia Paláu is an important herbal genus from the Verbenaceae family and possesses numerous remedial properties in the folk medicine of Asian, European, and, in particular, South American countries. Only a few reports have discussed some phytochemical characteristics associated with Aloysia species. Right the lack of an exhaustive report prompted us to organize this review article. Accordingly, besides the ethnobotanical knowledge of Aloysia species, their essential oil profiles, phytochemistry of the polar isolated fractions, and the relevant biological activities are discussed in detail.

description: In der Reaktion auf die Ausbreitung der Covid-19-Pandemie kam es weltweit für viele Menschen zum Bruch sozialer und räumlicher Routinen. In Deutschland haben die Landesregierungen die führende Rolle beim Versuch übernommen, durch Verfügungen und Verordnungen die weitere Ausbreitung der Pande-mie einzudämmen. In diesem Kontext hat die Art und Weise wie Gesetze und Regeln Alltagsräume durchdringen für viele Menschen eine neue (unmittelbar erlebbare) Dimension angenommen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, mit einem Fokus auf die getroffenen Maßnahmen der saarländischen Landesregierung diesbezüglich eine lokale Perspektive zu entwickeln. Durch die qualitative Methode der Autofotographie werden dabei individuelle Sichtweisen auf das zugrundeliegende Wechselspiel von Recht, Raum und Gesellschaft in den Vordergrund der Analyse gestellt. Durch den Blick auf sozialräumliche Zusammen-hänge werden so die Auswirkungen der getroffenen Maßnahmen hinterfragt.
description: As a reaction to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, many people all over the world were confronted with a rupture of social and spatial routines. In Germany, the state governments took a leading role try-ing to contain the further spread of the pandemic by issuing ordincances and regulations. In this con-text, the way how laws and rules parvade places of everyday life took on another (immediately percepti-ble) dimension for many people. This article aims at contributing a local perspective on this issue, fo-cusing on the measures taken by the Saarland government. Through the qualitative method of autopho-tography, individual points of view on the underlying interactions of law, space and society are moved into the center of attention. Through the sociospatial perspective, the impacts of the measures taken by the local government are called into question.

En Allemagne, les gouvernements régionaux ont joué un rôle essentiel afin de freiner la propagation du virus. Dans ce contexte, la façon dans laquelle des lois et des règles pénètrent les espaces de la vie quotidienne atteint une dimension nouvelle (qui est immédiatement perceptible) pour nombreuses personnes. Cet article vise à fournir une perspective locale sur ce sujet en se focalisant sur les mesures du gouvernement de la Sarre. La mé-thode qualitative de l’auto-photographie permet d’examiner des points de vue individuels sur les interac-tions mutuelles entre le droit, l’espace et la société. En adoptant une perspective socio-spatiale, cet article permet également de questionner les impacts des mesures prises par le gouvernement sarrois.

description: The use of mutual information as a tool in private data sharing has remained an open challenge due to the difficulty of its estimation in practice. In this paper, we propose InfoShape, a task-based encoder that aims to remove unnecessary sensitive information from training data while maintaining enough relevant information for a particular ML training task. We achieve this goal by utilizing mutual information estimators that are based on neural networks, in order to measure two performance metrics, privacy and utility. Using these together in a Lagrangian optimization, we train a separate neural network as a lossy encoder. We empirically show that InfoShape is capable of shaping the encoded samples to be informative for a specific downstream task while eliminating unnecessary sensitive information. Moreover, we demonstrate that the classification accuracy of downstream models has a meaningful connection with our utility and privacy measures.

description: A perpendicular electric field breaks the layer symmetry of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene, resulting in the opening of a band gap and a modification of the effective mass of the charge carriers. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we examine standing waves in the local density of states of bilayer graphene formed by scattering from a bilayer/trilayer boundary. The quasiparticle interference properties are controlled by the bilayer graphene band structure, allowing a direct local probe of the evolution of the band structure of bilayer graphene as a function of electric field. We extract the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model tight binding parameters as $γ_0 = 3.1$ eV, $γ_1 = 0.39$ eV, and $γ_4 = 0.22$ eV.

description: From the ethyl acetate extract (EtOAc) of the Vietnamese Garcinia mckeaniana leaves, a new flavone 8-C-glycoside 2'',6''-di-O-acetylvitexin (1), together with six known analogs 2-7 were isolated. Their structures were determined by spectral methods and compared with literature data. In α-glucosidase inhibitory assay, the EtOAc extract and its flavone and biflavone derivatives possessed the significant IC50 range of 9.17-97.53 µM, as compared with that of the positive control acarbose (249 µM). Flavones and biflavones showed are better than flavone glycosides in both α-glucosidase and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities
