description: Using benzodiazepines and certain antidepressants is associated with an increased risk of motor vehicle crashes due to impaired driving skills. Hence, several countries prohibit people who use these drugs from driving. Traffic regulations for driving under the influence of these drugs are, however, largely based on single-dose studies with healthy participants. The effects of drugs on chronic users may be different because of potential development of tolerance or by adapting behavior. In this study, we test the effects of anti-depressants, hypnotics, or anxiolytics use on driving performance in patients who use these drugs for different durations and compare the effects to healthy controls’ performance. Sixty-six healthy controls and 82 medication users were recruited to perform four drives in a driving simulator. Patients were divided into groups that used anti-depressants, hypnotics, or anxiolytics, for shorter or longer than 3 years (i.e. LT3− or LT3+, respectively). The minimum term of use was 6 months. Driving behavior was measured in terms of longitudinal and lateral control (speed variability and Standard Deviation of Lateral Position: SDLP), brake reaction time, and time headway. Impaired driving performance was defined as performing similar to driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.5‰ or higher, determined by means of non-inferiority analyses. Reaction time analyses revealed inconclusive findings in all groups. No significant performance differences between matched healthy controls, LT3− (n = 2), and LT3+ (n = 8) anxiolytics users were found. LT3+ antidepressants users (n = 12) did not perform inferior to their matched controls in terms of SDLP. LT3− hypnotics users (n = 6) showed more speed variability than their matched healthy controls, while this effect was not found for the LT3+ group (n = 14): the latter did not perform inferior to the healthy controls. Regarding Time Headway, no conclusions about the LT3− hypnotics group could be drawn, while the LT3+ group did not perform inferior compared to the control group. The small number of anxiolytics users prohibits drawing conclusions about clinical relevance. Although many outcomes were inconclusive, there is evidence that some elements of complex driving performance may not be impaired (anymore) after using antidepressants or hypnotics longer than 3 years.

description: In Bangladesh, drivers’ failure to yield to pedestrians at designated crossings poses a significant safety risk and discourages their use of such crossings. The use of behavior change theories could be more appropriate in such complex situations where the interdependent behaviors of drivers and pedestrians interact. While many studies have identified factors that affect drivers’ yielding behavior in the literature, fewer efforts have been made to apply behavior change theories in exploring and validating these factors, and to reach a consensus among competing road users. This study is among the first to utilize behavior change theories in Bangladesh to identify pedestrians’ safety factors that could promote drivers’ yielding behavior, upon which a consensus between drivers and pedestrians could be established. A self-reported attitudinal survey was administered to 202 drivers on two highways in Bangladesh with a questionnaire using the capability, opportunity, motivation, and behavior (COM-B) model for the comprehensive coverage of behavior change theories. The focus group interviews were also conducted with 40 pedestrians and 19 drivers who have experience with four crossing sites on the selected highways. The collected data were analyzed using a regression model to identify significant factors influencing the drivers’ yielding behavior. These factors were then justified using a deductive thematic coding framework based on behavior change theories. The regression model explained the variance in drivers’ yielding by 45.1% with eight factors. The model found seven positive significant contributory factors in the drivers’ yielding that could promote pedestrian safety. Of them, the motivation factors were avoiding random crossing by pedestrians, vulnerable groups, assertiveness, and facial fear expressions; and the opportunity factors were traffic signs or advanced yield lines, crossing in groups at specific times, and enforcement. The study’s findings have practical implications for policymakers, highway designers, and other stakeholders involved in promoting pedestrian safety by acknowledging their stake in making any decision that might impact them. Highway designers can use the thematic coding framework to recommend any contributory factors involved, where competing drivers’ unwillingness to yield is the primary threat to pedestrians’ safety.

description: Two-color photoassociation of ground state $^6$Li$^{87}$Rb molecules via the $\mathrm{B}^1Π$ electronic state using short pulses near a magnetic Feshbach resonance is studied theoretically. A near-resonant magnetic field is applied to mix the hyperfine singlet and triplet components of the initial wave function and enhance the photoassociation rate, before the population is transferred to the ground state by a second pulse. We show that an increase of up to three orders of magnitude in the absolute number of molecules produced is attainable for deeply bound vibrational levels. This technique can be generalized to other molecules with accessible magnetic Feshbach resonances.

description: We theoretically investigate heat transport in temperature-biased Josephson tunnel junctions in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. In full analogy with the Josephson critical current, the phase-dependent component of the heat flux through the junction displays coherent diffraction. Thermal transport is analyzed in three prototypical junction geometries highlighting their main differences. Notably, minimization of the Josephson coupling energy requires the quantum phase difference across the junction to undergo π-slips in suitable intervals of magnetic flux. An experimental setup suited to detect thermal diffraction is proposed and analyzed.

description: The adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen atoms on Cu(001) are studied using first-principles calculations. By taking into account the contribution of zero-point energy (ZPE), the originally identical barriers are shown to be different for H and D, which are respectively calculated to be ~ 158 meV and ~ 139 meV in height. Using the transfer matrix method (TMM), we are able to calculate the accurate probability of transmission across the barriers. The crucial role of quantum tunneling is clearly demonstrated at low-temperature region. By introducing a temperature-dependent attempting frequency prefactor, the rate constants and diffusion coefficients are calculated. The results are in agreement with the experimental measurements at temperatures from ~ 50 K to 80 K.

description: Anomaly detection has been considered under several extents of prior knowledge. Unsupervised methods do not require any labelled data, whereas semi-supervised methods leverage some known anomalies. Inspired by mixture-of-experts models and the analysis of the hidden activations of neural networks, we introduce a novel data-driven anomaly detection method called ARGUE. Our method is not only applicable to unsupervised and semi-supervised environments, but also profits from prior knowledge of self-supervised settings. We designed ARGUE as a combination of dedicated expert networks, which specialise on parts of the input data. For its final decision, ARGUE fuses the distributed knowledge across the expert systems using a gated mixture-of-experts architecture. Our evaluation motivates that prior knowledge about the normal data distribution may be as valuable as known anomalies.

description: Amorphous solids, and many disordered lattices, exhibit a remarkable qualitative and quantitative universality in their acoustic properties at temperature $\lesssim 3$K. This phenomenon is attributed to the existence of tunneling two level systems (TTLSs), characterized by a homogenous density of states (DOS) at energies much lower than the disorder energy ($\approx 0.1$eV). Here we calculate numerically, from first principles, the DOS of KBr:CN glass, the archetypal disordered lattice showing universality. In contrast to the standard tunneling model, we find that the DOS diminishes abruptly at $\approx 3$ K, and that tunneling states differ essentially by their symmetry under inversion. This structure of the TTLSs dictates the low temperature below which universality is observed, and the quantitative universality of the acoustic properties in glasses. Consequences to the properties of glasses at intermediate temperatures, as well as to the microscopic structure of amorphous solids, are discussed.

description: Daily, approximately 3,400 traffic-related deaths occur globally, with over 90% concentrated in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Notably, Rwanda has one of the highest road traffic death rates in the world (29.7 per 100,000 people) and is the first low-income country to implement a national Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) policy. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ASE cameras in reducing the primary outcome of road traffic deaths and secondary outcomes of serious injury crashes and fatal crashes. The study used data on road traffic deaths, and serious injury and fatal crashes collected by the Rwanda National Police between 2010 and 2022. Interrupted time series (ITS) models were fit to quantify the association between ASE and change in road traffic crash outcomes, adjusted for COVID-19-related variables (such as the start of the pandemic, the closure of schools and bars), along with exposure variables (such as GDP and population), and other concurrent road safety measures (such as road safety campaigns). The ITS models show that the implementation of ASE cameras significantly reduced road traffic deaths, serious injury crashes, and fatal crashes at the provincial level. For instance, the implementation of ASE cameras in the whole of Rwanda in April 2021 was significantly associated with a 0.14 (95% CI [0.072, 0.212]) reduction in monthly death incidence, equating to a 38.16% monthly decrease compared to the period before their installation (January 2010-March 2021). This study emphasizes the significant association of ASE in Rwanda with improved road traffic crash outcomes, a result that may inform road safety policy in other LMICs. Rwanda has become the first low-income country to implement nationwide scaling of ASE in Africa, paving the way for the generation of valuable evidence on speed-related interventions. In addition to new knowledge generation, African road safety research efforts like this one are opportunities to grow academic and law enforcement cooperations while improving data systems and sources for future research benefits.

We calculate the expected density of zeros of a random eigenfunction in the semi-classical limit $h \to 0.$ In the allowed region the density is of order $h^{-1},$ while in the forbidden region the density is of order $h^{-\frac{1}{2}}$. The computer graphics due to E.J. Heller illustrate this difference in "frequency" between the allowed and forbidden nodal sets.

description: Arrays of circuit cavities offer fascinating perspectives for exploring quantum many-body systems in a driven dissipative regime where excitation losses are continuously compensated by coherent input drives. Here we investigate a system consisting of three transmission line resonators, where the two outer ones are driven by coherent input sources and the central resonator interacts with a superconducting qubit. Whereas a low excitation number regime of such a device has been considered previously with a numerical integration, we here specifically address the high excitation density regime. We present analytical approximations to these regimes in the form of two methods. The first method is a Bogoliubov or linear expansion in quantum fluctuations which can be understood as an approximation for weak nonlinearities. As the second method we introduce a combination of mean-field decoupling for the photon tunneling with an exact approach to a driven Kerr nonlinearity which can be understood as an approximation for low tunneling rates. In contrast to the low excitation regime we find that for high excitation numbers the anti-bunching of output photons from the central cavity does not monotonously disappear as the tunnel coupling between the resonators is increased.

description: In an earlier paper by three of the present authors and Csaba Schneider, it was shown that, for $m\ge2$, a set of $m+1$ partitions of a set $Ω$, any $m$ of which are the minimal non-trivial elements of a Cartesian lattice, either form a Latin square (if $m=2$), or generate a join-semilattice of dimension $m$ associated with a diagonal group over a base group $G$. In this paper we investigate what happens if we have $m+r$ partitions with $r\geq 2$, any $m$ of which are minimal elements of a Cartesian lattice. If $m=2$, this is just a set of mutually orthogonal Latin squares. We consider the case where all these squares are isotopic to Cayley tables of groups, and give an example to show the groups need not be all isomorphic. For $m>2$, things are more restricted. Any $m+1$ of the partitions generate a join-semilattice admitting a diagonal group over a group $G$. It may be that the groups are all isomorphic, though we cannot prove this. Under an extra hypothesis, we show that $G$ must be abelian and must have three fixed-point-free automorphisms whose product is the identity. Under this hypothesis, such a structure gives an orthogonal array, and conversely in some cases. If the group is cyclic of prime order $p$, then the structure corresponds exactly to an arc of cardinality $m+r$ in the $(m-1)$-dimensional projective space over the field with $p$ elements, so all known results about arcs are applicable. More generally, arcs over a finite field of order $q$ give examples where $G$ is the elementary abelian group of order $q$. These examples can be lifted to non-elementary abelian groups using $p$-adic techniques.

description: We construct a simple example for self-induced flavor conversion in dense neutrino gases showing new solutions that violate the symmetries of initial conditions. Our system consists of two opposite momentum modes 1 and 2, each initially occupied with equal densities of nu_e and anti-nu_e. Restricting solutions to symmetry under 1 2 allows for the usual bimodal instability ("flavor pendulum") in the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy (IH) and stability (no self-induced flavor conversion) in the normal hierarchy (NH). Lifting this symmetry restriction allows for a second pendulum-like solution that occurs in NH where the modes 1 and 2 swing in opposite directions in flavor space. Any small deviation from 1-2 symmetry in the initial condition triggers the new instability in NH. This effect corresponds to the recently identified multi-azimuth angle (MAA) instability of supernova neutrino fluxes. Both cases show explicitly that solutions of the equations of collective flavor oscillations need not inherit the symmetries of initial conditions, although this has been universally assumed.

description: We describe a light-pulse atom interferometer that is suitable for any species of atom and even for electrons and protons as well as their antiparticles, in particular for testing the Einstein equivalence principle with antihydrogen. The design obviates the need for resonant lasers through far-off resonant Bragg beam splitters and makes efficient use of scarce atoms by magnetic confinement and atom recycling. We expect to reach an initial accuracy of better than 1% for the acceleration of free fall of antihydrogen, which can be improved to the part-per million level.

description: In this work, we render in real-time glittery materials caused by discrete flakes on the surface. To achieve this, one has to count the number of flakes reflecting the light towards the camera within every texel covered by a given pixel footprint. To do so, we derive a counting method for arbitrary footprints that, unlike previous work, outputs the correct statistics. We combine this counting method with an anisotropic parameterization of the texture space that reduces the number of texels falling under a pixel footprint. This allows our method to run with both stable performance and 1.5X to 5X faster than the state-of-the-art.

description: This research aims to: (i) compare the effects of different sidewall entrainment facilities on drivers’ visual behavior; (ii) compare the effects of the same sight entrainment facilities on drivers in different lanes; (iii) give recommendations for engineering applications based on the results of the study; The study designed four different scenes, each with symmetrically designed visual facilities on the both sidewalls of the tunnel, scene a represents a typical urban tunnel in China (horizontal stripes on sidewalls), scene b includes vertical stripes on sidewalls in addition to scene a, scene c introduces an LED-arch based on scene b, and scene d features a rhythmic pattern (Wave pattern on sidewalls). 30 participants, 21 men and 9 women, aged 21–54, drove the four scenes. Eye movement data of participants in each lane for different scenes were collected using an eye-tracking device. Visual performance indicators including fixation duration, number of fixations, saccade duration, and saccade amplitude were utilized to comprehensively evaluate drivers’ visual behavior. Factor analysis was employed to analyze the impact of different visual guiding facilities on drivers’ visual searching abilities. There is a significant effect of sidewall guiding facilities and lane location on drivers’ visual behavior and loading. Across scenes, drivers’ visual load is ranked as follows, from highest to lowest: scene a (baseline) > scene b (horizontal stripes added to scene a) > scene c (LED-arch added to scene b) > scene d (Wave pattern). Furthermore, under the same scene, drivers’ visual load in each lane is ranked in descending order: Middle lane > Right lane > Left lane. Due to the effect of the tunnel structure on the drivers’ visual field, drivers in the left lane have the highest visual load in any scenario compared to the other two lanes, which can be ameliorated but not eliminated. Traditional guiding facilities and decorated pattern both improve the visual behavior and reduce drivers’ visual load in urban tunnels, especially in scene c and scene d, but scene d should not be used for the entire length of the tunnel in order to prevent driver distraction. In engineering practice, scene c (LED-arch added to scene b) can be set up in general sections of urban tunnels, and decorated pattern can be added to fatigue reminder regions to alleviate driving fatigue.

description: In this paper, we derive a microscopic master equation for a pair of XY-coupled two-level systems interacting with the same memoryless reservoir. In particular, we apply this master equation to the case of a pair of two-level atoms in free space where we can clearly contrast the predictions made with the microscopic master equation obtained here and the phenomenological approaches where the atom-atom coupling is included just \textit{a posteriori}, i.e, not taking into account in the derivation of the open system equation of motion. We show, for instance, that the phenomenological approach fails completely in the assessment of the role played by the symmetric and antisymmetric decay channels. As a consequence, the predictions related to collective effects such as superradiance, for instance, are misleading in the phenomenological approach. We also obtain the fluorescence spectrum using the microscopic model developed here.

description: This is an overview of a formalisation project in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL of a number of research results in infinitary combinatorics and set theory (more specifically in ordinal partition relations) by Erdős--Milner, Specker, Larson and Nash-Williams, leading to Larson's proof of the unpublished result by E.C. Milner asserting that for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$, $ω^ω\arrows(ω^ω, m)$. This material has been recently formalised by Paulson and is available on the Archive of Formal Proofs; here we discuss some of the most challenging aspects of the formalisation process. This project is also a demonstration of working with Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in higher-order logic.

description: In 1945, Dirac attempted to develop a "formal probability" distribution to describe quantum operators in terms of two non-commuting variables, such as position x and momentum p [Rev. Mod. Phys. 17, 195 (1945)]. The resulting quasi-probability distribution is a complete representation of the quantum state and can be observed directly in experiments. We measure Dirac's distribution for the quantum state of the transverse degree of freedom of a photon by weakly measuring transverse x so as to not randomize the subsequent p measurement. Further, we show that the distribution has the classical-like feature that it transforms (e.g., propagates) according to Bayes' law.

description: Injury outcomes for powered two- and three-wheeler (PTW) riders are influenced by the rider posture. To enable analysis of PTW rider accidents and development of protection systems, detailed whole-body posture data is needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to fill this gap by providing collections of average male whole-body postures, including subpopulation variability, for different PTW types. This will enable future studies to explore the influence of PTW rider posture variation and to support safety system development. 3D photometric measurements of 51 anatomical landmarks were recorded on 20 (50th percentile male) volunteers in their preferred riding postures across three PTW types (naked, scooter, and touring). Following an outlier removal process, a principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to calculate average postures and principal components (PCs), to describe the observed posture variation, for each PTW. The visualization of the PCs was facilitated through kinematic linkage representations, connecting anatomical landmarks and estimated joint centers to form segments and characteristic joint angles. The first seven PCs explained 80% of the variance in posture for each of the three PTWs. Across PTWs, these PCs frequently described combinations of postural features including variation in fore-aft seat positions, pelvic tilt, spinal curvature, head position, and extremity flexion-extension. Analysis revealed distinct differences in average postures across the three PTWs, on average, 10 ± 9° for the characteristic joint angles within a min-to-max range between the three PTWs. However, for all three PTWs, the variability between volunteers in characteristic joint angles on the same PTW were on average more than twice as large within a ± 2 SD range (26 ± 11°). The results suggest that PTW rider posture variation must be addressed by involving simultaneous adjustments of multiple body parts, as described by each of the first seven PCs, as a direct consequence of the human body interconnectedness. Furthermore, the study’s findings challenge conventional assumptions that the relative distance between PTWs’ handlebar, seat, and foot support predominantly influences rider postures. Instead, the research demonstrates that individual variability has a substantial influence on rider posture and should be considered in PTW safety development.

description: Technical Debt occurs when development teams favour short-term operability over long-term stability. Since this places software maintainability at risk, technical debt requires early attention to avoid paying for accumulated interest. Most of the existing work focuses on detecting technical debt using code comments, known as Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD). However, there are many cases where technical debt instances are not explicitly acknowledged but deeply hidden in the code. In this paper, we propose a framework that caters for the absence of SATD comments in code. Our Self-Admitted Technical Debt Identification and Description (SATDID) framework determines if technical debt should be self-admitted for an input code fragment. If that is the case, SATDID will automatically generate the appropriate descriptive SATD comment that can be attached with the code. While our approach is applicable in principle to any type of code fragments, we focus in this study on technical debt hidden in conditional statements, one of the most TD-carrying parts of code. We explore and evaluate different implementations of SATDID. The evaluation results demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of our framework over multiple benchmarks. Comparing with the results from the benchmarks, our approach provides at least 21.35%, 59.36%, 31.78%, and 583.33% improvements in terms of Precision, Recall, F-1, and Bleu-4 scores, respectively. In addition, we conduct human evaluation to the SATD comments generated by SATDID. In 1-5 and 0-5 scales for Acceptability and Understandability, the total means achieved by our approach are 3.128 and 3.172, respectively.

description: In models for thermal baryogenesis from particle decays, the mass of the decaying particle is typically many orders of magnitude above the TeV scale. We will discuss different ways to lower the energy scale of baryogenesis and present the corresponding lower bounds on the particle's mass. This is done specifically for the inert doublet model with heavy Majorana neutrinos and then we indicate how to extrapolate the results to other scenarios. We also revisit the question of whether or not dark matter, neutrino masses, and the cosmic baryon asymmetry can be explained simultaneously at low energies in the inert doublet model.

Deep learning for low frequency extrapolation of multicomponent data in elastic full waveform inversion

description: Full waveform inversion (FWI) strongly depends on an accurate starting model to succeed. This is particularly true in the elastic regime: The cycle-skipping phenomenon is more severe in elastic FWI compared to acoustic FWI, due to the short S-wave wavelength. In this paper, we extend our work on extrapolated FWI (EFWI) by proposing to synthesize the low frequencies of multi-component elastic seismic records, and use those "artificial" low frequencies to seed the frequency sweep of elastic FWI. Our solution involves deep learning: we separately train the same convolutional neural network (CNN) on two training datasets, one with vertical components and one with horizontal components of particle velocities, to extrapolate the low frequencies of elastic data. The architecture of this CNN is designed with a large receptive field, by either large convolutional kernels or dilated convolution. Numerical examples on the Marmousi2 model show that the 2-4Hz low frequency data extrapolated from band-limited data above 4Hz provide good starting models for elastic FWI of P-wave and S-wave velocities. Additionally, we study the generalization ability of the proposed neural network over different physical models. For elastic test data, collecting the training dataset by elastic simulation shows better extrapolation accuracy than acoustic simulation, i.e., a smaller generalization gap.

description: We study semiclassical correlation functions in Liouville field theory on a two-sphere when all operators have large conformal dimensions. In the usual approach, such computation involves solving the classical Liouville equation, which is known to be extremely difficult for higher-point functions. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a new method based on the Riemann-Hilbert analysis, which is applied recently to the holographic calculation of correlation functions in AdS/CFT. The method allows us to directly compute the correlation functions without solving the Liouville equation explicitly. To demonstrate its utility, we apply it to three-point functions, which are known to be solvable, and confirm that it correctly reproduces the classical limit of the DOZZ formula for quantum three-point functions. This provides good evidence for the validity of this method.
