description: Floquet codes are an intriguing generalisation of stabiliser and subsystem codes, which can provide good fault-tolerant characteristics while benefiting from reduced connectivity requirements in hardware. A recent question of interest has been how to run Floquet codes on devices which have defective -- and therefore unusable -- qubits. This is an under-studied issue of crucial importance for running such codes on realistic hardware. To address this challenge, we introduce a new method of accommodating defective qubits on a wide range of two-dimensional Floquet codes, which requires no additional connectivity in the underlying quantum hardware, no modifications to the original Floquet code's measurement schedule, can accommodate boundaries, and is optimal in terms of the number of qubits and stabilisers removed. We numerically demonstrate that, using this method, the planar honeycomb code is fault tolerant up to a fabrication defect probability of $\approx 12\%$. We find the fault-tolerant performance of this code under defect noise is competitive with that of the surface code, despite its sparser connectivity. We finally propose multiple ways this approach can be adapted to the underlying hardware, through utilising any additional connectivity available, and treating defective auxiliary qubits separately to defective data qubits. Our work therefore serves as a guide for the implementation of Floquet codes in realistic quantum hardware.

description: Based on its simple valence electron configuration, we may expect lithium to have straightforward physical properties that are easily explained. However, solid lithium, when cooled below 77 K, develops a complex structure that has been debated for decades. A close parallel is found in sodium below 36 K where the crystal structure still remains unresolved. In this letter, we explore a possible driving force behind this complexity. We begin with the observation that Li and Na form close-packed structures at low temperatures. We demonstrate a gauge symmetry that forces \textit{all} close-packed structures to have the same electronic energy and, in fact, the very same band structure. This symmetry requires two conditions: (a) bands must arise from $s$ orbitals, and (b) hoppings beyond second-nearest neighbours must be negligible. We argue that both can be reasonably invoked in Li and Na. When these conditions are satisfied, we have extensive degeneracy with the number of competing iso-energetic structures growing exponentially with linear system size. Weak effects, such as $p$-orbital admixture, long-range hopping and phonon zero-point energy, can break this symmetry. These can play a decisive role in `selecting' one particular ordered structure. This point of view may explain the occurrence of ordered structures in Li and Na under pressure. Our results suggest that martensitic transitions may also occur in heavier alkali metals such as potassium.

description: Gravitational wave observations of black hole-neutron star binaries, particularly those where the black hole has a lower mass compared to other observed systems, have the potential to place strong constraints on modifications to general relativity that arise at small curvature length scales. Here we study the dynamics of black hole-neutron star mergers in shift-symmetric Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, a representative example of such a theory, by numerically evolving the full equations of motion. We consider quasi-circular binaries with different mass-ratios that are consistent with recent gravitational wave observations, including cases with and without tidal disruption of the star, and quantify the impact of varying the coupling controlling deviations from general relativity on the gravitational wave signal and scalar radiation. We find that the main effect on the late inspiral is the accelerated frequency evolution compared to general relativity, and that--even considering Gauss-Bonnet coupling values approaching those where the theory breaks down--the impact on the merger gravitational wave signal is mild, predominately manifesting as a small change in the amplitude of the ringdown. We compare our results to current post-Newtonian calculations and find consistency throughout the inspiral.

Type material. Holotype: Male, TAIWAN: Kankau (Koshun) [= currently Hengchun of Pingtung Co., 22°00′N, 120°45′E], H. Sauter, July 1912 (deposited in Senckenberg German Entomological Institute) [image examined].

Diagnosis. This new species is currently known by two male specimens mentioned above and recognised readily by the following characters: Orange-yellow basic colouration; oily-shiny, highly polished, impunctate and hairless dorsum (Fig. 20A) with characteristic fuscous spots or maculae on pronotum, scutellum and hemelytron (Fig. 1I, J); fully darkened clypeus; darkened apical ¼ of pale antennomere I; and unique form of male genitalia as described below. Further external features were described by Poppius (1915) and images of the holotype male are available on a database (National Museum of Natural Science, 2023). The male genitalia are herein described for the first time, but the female is yet to be found.
Description. Male genitalia (Fig. 2A–H): Left paramere C-shaped, similar in general shape to that of Apolygopsis species (but apex of hypophysis lacking lateral process) (Fig. 2D, E); right paramere with bifurcate hypophysis (Fig. 2G, H) and apical protuberance on sensory lobe (Fig. 2F). Vesica with two stout spicules and small, rounded secondary gonopore (Fig. 2A–C).
Measurements. See Table 1.
Distribution. Taiwan (Pingtung).
Biology. Unknown.
Remarks. This Taiwanese taxon has been regarded as a member of the speciose Holarctic genus Neolygus since the treatment by Zheng et al. (2004). However, the present examination on the surface structures and male genitalia warrants its placement in Chelyolygus, new genus. For instance, the highly polished, nearly glabrous dorsal surface is not exhibited in Neolygus, and the principal morphology of the male and female genitalia is significantly different between the two genera (cf. Yasunaga, 1991, 2023, 2024; Yasunaga et al., 2018). Based on these morphological evidences, a new combination, Chelyolygus bipuncticollis (Poppius), is herein established.

description: The assembly and co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their host galaxy stellar population is a key open questions in galaxy evolution. Stellar mass ($M_\star$) and star formation rate (SFR), are inferred by modeling the spectral energy distribution (SED). For galaxies triggering SMBH activity, the active galactic nucleus (AGN) contaminates the light at all wavelengths, hampering the inference of galaxy parameters. Incomplete AGN templates can lead to systematic overestimates of the stellar mass, biasing our understanding of AGN-galaxy co-evolution. This challenge has gained further impetus with the advent of sensitive wide-area surveys with millions of luminous AGN, including by eROSITA, Euclid and LSST. We aim to estimate the accuracy and bias of AGN host galaxy parameters and improve upon existing techniques. This work makes two contributions: 1) a new SED fitting code, GRAHSP, with a flexible, empirically motivated AGN model including a power law continuum emission lines, a FeII forest and a flexible infrared torus. We verify that our model reproduces published X-ray to infrared SEDs of AGN to better than 20\% accuracy. A fully Bayesian fit with nested sampling includes uncertainties in the model and the data, making the inference highly robust. 2) we created a benchmark photometric dataset where pure quasars are merged with non-AGN pure galaxies into a hybrid (Chimera) object but with known galaxy and AGN properties. Comparing the true and retrieved $M_\star$, SFR and AGN luminosities shows that previous codes systematically over-estimate $M_\star$ and SFR by 0.5 dex with a wide scatter of 0.7 dex, at AGN luminosities above 10^44 erg/s. In contrast, GRAHSP shows no bias on $M_\star$ and SFR. GRAHSP also estimates more realistic uncertainties. GRAHSP enables characterization of the environmental conditions conducive to black hole growth. (abridged)

In the last decades the deluge of increasingly available urban data has significantly influenced the way cities are studied and planned.At Urban Data and the City we will discuss the varying ways data can be part of urban research and planning across different geographical scales – from studying and designing buildings, to streets and the whole city – and capturing how people interact with the built environment.
Bayesian nonparametric methods for randomized clinical trials and observational studies
Creators: name: Xiong, Wenxuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: In this research, we consider application of Bayesian nonparametric methods throughout both the analysis and design phases of clinical trials. We aim to lead to more efficient inference and/or allow for the discovery of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) while making minimal modeling assumptions. Furthermore, we extend Bayesian methodologies to the analysis of oral Electronic Health Records (EHR) data, and enrich our understanding in observational studies. In the first paper, we focus on the analysis of cluster randomized trials when there are a small number of clusters and binary outcomes comprised of rare events. Popular methods for analysis include parametric models with covariate adjustment such as generalized estimating equations (GEE) and generalized approach linear mixed model. These approaches have limitations both in terms of assumptions required and the lack of identifiability if a cluster has no events. We propose as an alternative a Bayesian semi-parametric logistic random intercepts model to address separation issues from covariate adjustment and rare events and allow for flexible assumptions on random intercepts. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate good performance of the Bayesian method in a variety of settings. In the second paper, we propose a novel Bayesian adaptive design with subgroup identification for multi-arm survival trials in the personalized medicine. Adaptive randomization probabilities are based on subject-specific causal effect estimates that are updated from a Bayesian nonparametric model for clustered survival data. After the trial concludes, a multi-response decision tree is used to visualize subgroups with varying treatment effects. In simulation studies, we compare the proposed design with commonly used trial designs and assess performance for power, and accurate identification of subgroups. In the third paper, we estimate time-varying causal effect based on G-computation by comparing Bayesian parametric models to nonparametric models on longitudinal Electronic Health Records (EHR) data with irregular follow-up time. Simulation studies that mimic real data are used to evaluate model performance.
