description: Federated learning is a technique that enables distributed clients to collaboratively learn a shared machine learning model while keeping their training data localized. This reduces data privacy risks, however, privacy concerns still exist since it is possible to leak information about the training dataset from the trained model's weights or parameters. Setting up a federated learning environment, especially with security and privacy guarantees, is a time-consuming process with numerous configurations and parameters that can be manipulated. In order to help clients ensure that collaboration is feasible and to check that it improves their model accuracy, a real-world simulator for privacy-preserving and secure federated learning is required. In this paper, we introduce PrivacyFL, which is an extensible, easily configurable and scalable simulator for federated learning environments. Its key features include latency simulation, robustness to client departure, support for both centralized and decentralized learning, and configurable privacy and security mechanisms based on differential privacy and secure multiparty computation. In this paper, we motivate our research, describe the architecture of the simulator and associated protocols, and discuss its evaluation in numerous scenarios that highlight its wide range of functionality and its advantages. Our paper addresses a significant real-world problem: checking the feasibility of participating in a federated learning environment under a variety of circumstances. It also has a strong practical impact because organizations such as hospitals, banks, and research institutes, which have large amounts of sensitive data and would like to collaborate, would greatly benefit from having a system that enables them to do so in a privacy-preserving and secure manner.

description: On behalf of the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the GfK SE market research company systematically studied the food waste in German private households from July 2016 to June 2017. The study was a representative diary study. Almost 7,000 households were surveyed over a period of two weeks each on their dealings with food waste (FW). The focus of the study was on types and amounts of avoidable and unavoidable food waste. Documented were reasons for disposal, condition of food products and means of elimination. Further differentiation was made on the basis of household size, age of the head of household and his/her education level, and regional location. Essentially this study offers much new information on dealing with food waste in private households in Germany, and is a good basis for the development of new political options to reduce food waste. Particularly information on the type and composition of food waste is revealing. For example, the study found that 16 % of the avoidable FW is “cooked or prepared” (with a very high energy input). In part however other reasons for disposal are confirmed, and classified according to their relevance for the purposes of this study. One example is the food expiration date: only 5.8 percent of those surveyed refer to this as a reason for disposal, while ten times this number - overall 57.6 % - through food away due to storage problems, and one third of these foodstuffs were already spoiled. In interpreting the results, it must particularly be considered that transfer effects can veil the true reasons for disposal of food products. For example, sub-optimal shopping behavior can lead to problems in storage. Can the most important reasons for disposal be counteracted with better planning and need-appropriate purchases, and the correct storage and processing of food products? These changes would, above all, require a greater time input on the part of the consumer, which could seem too time-intensive for many consumers. The assessed level of the total amount of food waste in Germany is projected to be a scant 4.4 million tons annually. This can be considered the bottom threshold, because some diary entries can be considered incomplete. About 44 % of this food waste is considered avoidable by the surveyed households. Thus a theoretical improvement potential can be seen, which, with the help of additionally gathered detailed information, can be addressed with a targeted approach.

description: We introduce a method for testing quantum correlations in terms of quasiprobability functions in the presence of noise. We analyze the effects of measurement imperfection and thermal environment on quantum correlations and show that their noise effects can be well encapsulated into the change of the order parameter of the generalized quasiprobability function. We then formulate a noise-adaptive entanglement witness in the form of a Bell-type inequality by using the generalized quasiprobability function. Remarkably, it allows us to observe quantum correlations under severe noise. Our method provides a useful tool to test quantum correlations in near-term noisy quantum processors with continuous-variable systems.

From Statistical Knowledge Bases to Degrees of Belief

description: An intelligent agent will often be uncertain about various properties of its environment, and when acting in that environment it will frequently need to quantify its uncertainty. For example, if the agent wishes to employ the expected-utility paradigm of decision theory to guide its actions, it will need to assign degrees of belief (subjective probabilities) to various assertions. Of course, these degrees of belief should not be arbitrary, but rather should be based on the information available to the agent. This paper describes one approach for inducing degrees of belief from very rich knowledge bases, that can include information about particular individuals, statistical correlations, physical laws, and default rules. We call our approach the random-worlds method. The method is based on the principle of indifference: it treats all of the worlds the agent considers possible as being equally likely. It is able to integrate qualitative default reasoning with quantitative probabilistic reasoning by providing a language in which both types of information can be easily expressed. Our results show that a number of desiderata that arise in direct inference (reasoning from statistical information to conclusions about individuals) and default reasoning follow directly {from} the semantics of random worlds. For example, random worlds captures important patterns of reasoning such as specificity, inheritance, indifference to irrelevant information, and default assumptions of independence. Furthermore, the expressive power of the language used and the intuitive semantics of random worlds allow the method to deal with problems that are beyond the scope of many other non-deductive reasoning systems.

description: SO/PHI is the Polarimetric Helioseismic Imager on board the Solar Orbiter; one of the 6 remote sensing instruments. It is a spectropolarimeter: it takes images of the Sun at very distinct wavelengths and different polarisations. From these images, the full vector magnetic field at the solar surface, as well as the LOS (Line Of Sight) velocity, can be inferred.
 To produce reliable magnetograms and dopplergrams the polarimetry of SO/PHI-HRT has to be calibrated. This poster describes the preliminary results that characterise its polarimetric properties.

description: We study the Chern-Simons topological quantum field theory with an inhomogeneous gauge group, a non-semi-simple group obtained from a semi-simple one by taking its semi-direct product with its Lie algebra. We find that the standard knot observables (i.e. traces of holonomies along knots) essentially vanish, but yet, the non-semi-simplicity of our gauge group allows us to consider a class of un-orthodox observables which breaks gauge invariance at one point and which lead to a non-trivial theory on long knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We have two main morals : 1. In the non-semi-simple case, there is more to observe in Chern-Simons theory! There might be other interesting non semi-simple gauge groups to study in this context beyond our example. 2. In our case of an inhomogeneous gauge group, we find that Chern-Simons theory with the un-orthodox observable is actually the same as 3D BF theory with the Cattaneo-Cotta-Ramusino-Martellini knot observable. This leads to a simplification of their results and enables us to generalize and solve a problem they posed regarding the relation between BF theory and the Alexander-Conway polynomial. Our result is that the most general knot invariant coming from pure BF topological quantum field theory is in the algebra generated by the coefficients of the Alexander-Conway polynomial.

description: Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are studied in the magnetoconductance of a micron-sized open quantum ring coupled capacitively to a Coulomb-blockaded quantum dot. As the plunger gate of the dot is modulated and tuned through a conductance resonance, the amplitude of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the transconductance of the ring displays a minimum. We demonstrate that the effect is due to a single-electron screening effect, rather than to dephasing. Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in a quantum ring can thus be used for the detection of single charges.

description: Antideuteron and antihelium nuclei have been proposed as promising detection channels for dark matter because of the low astrophysical backgrounds expected. To estimate both potential exotic contributions and their backgrounds, one usually employs the coalescence model in momentum space. Here we use instead a newly developed coalescence model based on the Wigner function representations of the produced nuclei states. This approach includes both the process-dependent size of the formation region of antinuclei, and the momentum correlations of coalescing antinucleons in a semi-classical picture. The model contains a single universal parameter $σ$ that we tune to experimental data on antideuteron production in electron-positron, proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions. The obtained value $σ\simeq 1$ fm agrees well with its physical interpretation as the size of the formation region of antinuclei in collisions of point-like particles. This model allows us therefore to calculate in a consistent frame-work the antideuteron and antihelium fluxes both from secondary production and from dark matter annihilations. We find that the antihelium-3 flux falls short by more than an order of magnitude of the detection sensitivity of the AMS-02 experiment, assuming standard cosmic ray propagation parameters, while the antideuteron flux can be comparable to the sensitivities of the AMS-02 and GAPS experiments.

description: We present the observations of the pulsar SMC X-1 with the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory. We investigate the variability of the flux from the source on time scales of several tens of days. The intensity variation of the pulsar are shown to be consistent with the presence of a periodicity in the system with a characteristic time scale of $\sim61$ days. The precession of an inclined accretion disk, as indirectly confirmed by the absence of low-state pulsations, may be responsible for the observed variability. The spectrum of the source is well described by a power-law energy dependence of the photon flux density with a slope of $\sim1.5$ and an exponential cutoff at energies above $\sim14-18$ keV. We estimated the inclinations between the planes of the orbit and the accretion disk and the magnetic field of the neutron star.

description: Neutron and x-ray powder diffraction have been used to investigate the crystal structures of a sample of the newly-discovered superconducting sodium cobaltate deuterate compound with composition Na0.31(3)CoO2o1.25(2)D2O and its anhydrous parent compound Na0.61(1)CoO2. The deuterate superconducting compound is formed by coordinating four D2O molecules (two above and two below) to each Na ion in a way that gives Na-O distances nearly equal to those in the parent compound. One deuteron of the D2O molecule is hydrogen bonded to an oxygen atom in the CoO2 plane and the oxygen atom and the second deuteron of each D2O molecule lie approximately in a plane between the Na layer and the CoO2 layers. This coordination of Na by four D2O molecules leads to ordering of the Na ions and D2O molecules. The sample studied here, which has Tc=4.5 K, has a refined composition of Na0.31(3)CoO2o1.25(2)D2O, in agreement with the expected 1:4 ratio of Na to D2O. These results show that the optimal superconducting composition should be viewed as a specific hydrated compound, not a solid solution of Na and D2O (H2O) in NaxCoO2oyD2O. Studies of physical properties vs. Na or D2O composition should be viewed with caution until it is verified that the compound remains in the same phase over the composition range of the study.

title: Search for resonances decaying to a Z boson and a photon in the ATLAS Detector using data from the Large Hadron Collider
Creators: name: Readioff, NP
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: This thesis presents a search for Zγ resonances in the context of both the Standard Model Higgs boson and exotic high mass particles. The search for evidence of a Standard Model Higgs boson undergoing the decay H→Zγ, Z→ll, where l = e or μ, is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC corresponding to 4.5 fb⁻¹ at a centre-of-mass energy √s = 7 TeV and 20.3 fb⁻¹ at a centre-of-mass energy √s = 8 TeV. No significant excess over the Standard Model prediction is observed and so exclusion limits on the production cross-section of an SM Higgs boson decaying to Zγ are set at 95% confidence level: production of the Higgs boson at 9.0 x SM predictions is excluded. Refinements to the analysis are presented, making use of an alternative event classification based on the mass of the reconstructed Z boson to increase the sensitivity and set improved exclusion limits: production of the Higgs boson at 8.0 x SM predictions is excluded. A search for a new Higgs-like boson, X, with high mass and decaying through Zγ to an llγ final state, where l = e or μ, is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC corresponding to 3.2 fb⁻¹ at a centre-of-mass energy √s = 13 TeV. No significant excesses above the SM background are observed and so exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section times decay branching ratio to Zγ for such a boson with mass between 250 GeV and 1.5 TeV.
The Godbillon-Vey Invariant as Topological Vorticity Compression and Obstruction to Steady Flow in Ideal Fluids

description: If the vorticity field of an ideal fluid is tangent to a foliation, additional conservation laws arise. For a class of zero-helicity vorticity fields the Godbillon-Vey (GV) invariant of foliations is defined and is shown to be an invariant purely of the vorticity, becoming a higher-order helicity-type invariant of the flow. GV non-zero gives both a global topological obstruction to steady flow and, in a particular form, a local obstruction. GV is interpreted as helical compression and stretching of vortex lines. Examples are given where the value of GV is determined by a set of distinguished closed vortex lines.

description: Using Chandra archival data, we have begun a study to quantify the evolution of cluster morphology with redshift. To quantify cluster morphology, we use the power ratio method developed by Buote and Tsai (1995). Power ratios are constructed from moments of the two-dimensional gravitational potential and are, therefore, related to a cluster's dynamical state. Our sample will include around 50 clusters from the Chandra archive with redshifts between 0.11 and 1.1. These clusters were selected from two fairly complete flux-limited X-ray surveys (the ROSAT Bright Cluster Sample and the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey), and additional high-redshift clusters were selected from recent ROSAT flux-limited surveys. Here we present preliminary results from the first 15 clusters in this sample. Of these, eight have redshifts below 0.5, and seven have redshifts above 0.5.

description: In this manuscript, it is presented an overview of the Quark-Gluon Plasma properties measured, so far, using hard probes. We will focus on both quantitative and qualitative properties that have been (or are about to be) measured, making a link between the theoretical description and experimental results. Throughout the manuscript, highlights to some of the conferences' results will be given, but without an extensive overview. A personal opinion of the most important developments and critical problems that need more work in the future is presented at the end.

description: We derive fundamental parameters for the old, rich open cluster NGC 1245 using BVI photometry from the MDM 1.3m and 2.4m telescopes. Based on detailed isochrone fitting, we find NGC 1245 has a slightly sub-solar metallicity, [Fe/H]=-0.05 +- 0.03 (statistical) +- 0.08 (systematic), and an age of 1.04 +- 0.02 +- 0.09 Gyr. In contrast to previous studies, we find no evidence for significant differential reddening. We determine an extinction of A_V=0.68 +- 0.02 +- 0.09 mag and a distance modulus of (m-M)o=12.27 +- 0.02 +- 0.12 mag, which corresponds to a distance of 2.8 +- 0.2 Kpc. We derive a logarithmic mass-function slope for the cluster of a=-3.12 +- 0.27, where a Salpeter slope is a=-1.35. Fits to the radial surface-density profile yield a core radius of r_c=3.10 +- 0.52 arcmin (2.57 +- 0.47 pc). NGC 1245 is highly relaxed and contains a strongly mass segregated population. The mass function for the inner cluster has a very shallow slope, b=-0.56 +- 0.28. In contrast, the outer periphery of the cluster is enriched with low mass members and devoid of high mass members out to the tidal radius, r_t=20 arcmin (16.5 pc). Based on the observed surface-density profile and an extrapolated mass function, we derive a total cluster mass, M=1300 +- 90 +- 170 M_(solar).

description: Recently \citet{PEDE:2019ApJ} proposed a phenomenologically emergent dark energy (PEDE) which consider that the dark energy density evolves as $\widetildeΩ_{\rm{DE}}(z)\,=\,Ω_{\rm{DE,0}}\left[ 1 - {\rm{tanh}}\left( {\log}_{10}(1+z) \right) \right]$ with the advantage that it does not have degree of freedom. Later on, \citet{PEDE:2020} proposed a generalized model by adding one degree of freedom to the PEDE model, encoded in the parameter $Δ$. Motivated by these proposals, we constrain the parameter space ($h,Ω_m$) and ($h,Ω_m, Δ$) for PEDE and Generalized Emergent Dark Energy (GEDE) respectively, by employing the most recent observational (non-) homogeneous Hubble data. Additionally, we reconstruct the deceleration and jerk parameters and estimate yield values at $z=0$ of $q_0 = -0.784^{+0.028}_{-0.027}$ and $j_0 = 1.241^{+0.164}_{-0.149}$ for PEDE and $q_0 = -0.730^{+0.059}_{-0.067}$ and $j_0 = 1.293^{+0.194}_{-0.187}$ for GEDE using the homogeneous sample. We report values on the deceleration-acceleration transition redshift with those reported in the literature within $2σ$ CL. Furthermore, we perform a stability analysis of the PEDE and GEDE models to study the global evolution of the Universe around their critical points. Although the PEDE and GEDE dynamics are similar to the standard model, our stability analysis indicates that in both models there is an accelerated phase at early epochs of the Universe.

description: An efficient designing of any networks is highly depend on the routing protocols. Routing
protocols are playing a major role in networks for data transmission. Numerous routing protocols like
AODV, DSR, DSDV and TORA are designed based on a specific strategy. Even though, MANET is
highly demanded in market due to increasing more real time applications. In recent days, multimedia
based applications are more and they need a routing protocol with high score QoS. Route discovery,
scheduling, efficient coding and bandwidth allocation are the important requirements to be involved in
the routing protocols. Some of the existing approaches discussed about TDMA, CSMA and route
discovery separately. Though, due to node mobility, high traffic and network density a race condition is
created dynamically where it reduced the QoS. In order to overcome this race condition, this paper
proposed an Extended Race Free Bandwidth Allocation Routing Protocol (ERFBARP) for Mobility
based MANET, ie., NEMO. The ERFBARP is implemented and simulated in NS3 software and the
results are verified.

description: Weyl points are robust point degeneracies in the band structure of a periodic material, which act as monopoles of Berry curvature. They have been at the forefront of research in three-dimensional topological materials (whether photonic, electronic or otherwise) as they are associated with novel behavior both in the bulk and on the surface. Here, we present the experimental observation of a charge-2 photonic Weyl point in a low-index-contrast photonic crystal fabricated by two-photon polymerization. The reflection spectrum obtained via Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy closely matches simulations and shows two bands with quadratic dispersion around a point degeneracy. This work provides a launching point towards all-dielectric, low-contrast three-dimensional photonic topological devices.

Effect of stress-triaxiality on void growth in dynamic fracture of metals: a molecular dynamics study

description: The effect of stress-triaxiality on growth of a void in a three dimensional single-crystal face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattice has been studied. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using an embedded-atom (EAM) potential for copper have been performed at room temperature and using strain controlling with high strain rates ranging from 10^7/sec to 10^10/sec. Strain-rates of these magnitudes can be studied experimentally, e.g. using shock waves induced by laser ablation. Void growth has been simulated in three different conditions, namely uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial expansion. The response of the system in the three cases have been compared in terms of the void growth rate, the detailed void shape evolution, and the stress-strain behavior including the development of plastic strain. Also macroscopic observables as plastic work and porosity have been computed from the atomistic level. The stress thresholds for void growth are found to be comparable with spall strength values determined by dynamic fracture experiments. The conventional macroscopic assumption that the mean plastic strain results from the growth of the void is validated. The evolution of the system in the uniaxial case is found to exhibit four different regimes: elastic expansion; plastic yielding, when the mean stress is nearly constant, but the stress-triaxiality increases rapidly together with exponential growth of the void; saturation of the stress-triaxiality; and finally the failure.

description: Correlators of unitary quantum field theories in Lorentzian signature obey certain analyticity and positivity properties. For interacting unitary CFTs in more than two dimensions, we show that these properties impose general constraints on families of minimal twist operators that appear in the OPEs of primary operators. In particular, we rederive and extend the convexity theorem which states that for the family of minimal twist operators with even spins appearing in the reflection-symmetric OPE of any scalar primary, twist must be a monotonically increasing convex function of the spin. Our argument is completely non-perturbative and it also applies to the OPE of nonidentical scalar primaries in unitary CFTs, constraining the twist of spinning operators appearing in the OPE. Finally, we argue that the same methods also impose constraints on the Regge behavior of certain CFT correlators.

description: The electron spin transport in condensed matter, Spintronics, is a subject of rapidly growing interest both scientifically and from the point of view of applications to modern and future electronics. In many cases the electron spin transport cannot be described adequately without accounting for the hyperfine interaction between electron and nuclear spins. Under extreme conditions of high magnetic fileds, ultra-low temperatures, ultra high isotopical cleanness etc., the nuclear spins in these sytems are very promizing candidates for the qubits: the basic elements of emerging quantum memory, logics and hopefully quantum computers. Here we review the progress in the Nuclear Spintronics i.e. in physics and applications of hyperfine interactions in such exotic systems, as superconducting, quantum Hall, mesoscopic and nano-systems.
