description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are very popular nowadays for image processing. CNNs allow one to learn optimal filters in a (mostly) supervised machine learning context. However this typically requires abundant labelled training data to estimate the filter parameters. Alternative strategies have been deployed for reducing the number of parameters and / or filters to be learned and thus decrease overfitting. In the context of reverting to preset filters, we propose here a computationally efficient harmonic block that uses Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) filters in CNNs. In this work we examine the performance of harmonic networks in limited training data scenario. We validate experimentally that its performance compares well against scattering networks that use wavelets as preset filters.

description: The article examines several versions of a
report in which ʿUmar b. al-Ḫaṭṭāb makes a
public statement asserting the lawfulness of
stoning as punishment for a category of offenders convicted of unlawful
intercourse. The article also analyses certain versions of a report in which ʿUmar makes a public declaration that the
acclamation of Abū Bakr as caliph was legitimate despite the process being
unexpected and in haste. I argue that the motif of ʿUmar
as having made a public statement about the validity of stoning drew upon a
motif about his public declaration regarding Abū Bakr’s caliphate. The
association between these two motifs may have been part of a strategy to link,
under the purview of ʿUmar’s authority and
reputation for insulating the community against internal crisis, the settling
of one contentious matter (the legitimacy of stoning) with another (the
legitimacy of Abū Bakr’s caliphate).

description: Galaxy-galaxy-galaxy lensing (G3L) is a powerful tool for constraining the three-point correlation between the galaxy and matter distribution and thereby models of galaxy evolution. We propose three improvements to current measurements of G3L: (i) a weighting of lens galaxies according to their redshift difference, (ii) adaptive binning of the three-point correlation function, and (iii) accounting for the effect of lens magnification by the cosmic large-scale structure. Improvement (i) is designed to improve the precision of the G3L measurement, whereas improvements (ii) and (iii) remove biases of the estimator. We further show how the G3L signal can be converted from angular into physical scales. The improvements were tested on simple mock data and simulated data based on the Millennium Run with an implemented semi-analytic galaxy model. Our improvements increase the signal-to-noise ratio by 35 % on average at angular scales between 0.1 arcmin and 10 arcmin and physical scales between $0.02$ and $2 \, h^{-1}\, \textrm{Mpc}$. They also remove the bias of the G3L estimator at angular scales below 1 arcmin, which was originally up to 40 %. The signal due to lens magnification is approximately 10 % of the total signal.

description: Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy at T = 4.2 K, we perform simultaneously the topographic imaging and the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) mapping in granular MgB2. We observe a new type of spectrum, showing a pronounced double gap, with the magnitudes of Delta_S = 3.9 meV and Delta_L = 7.5 meV, i.e. well below and well above the BCS limit. The largest gap value gives the ratio 2*Delta_L/k_B T_c = 4.5, which implies strong electron-phonon coupling. Other superconducting regions are found to have a characteristic BCS-shaped DOS. However, the variation of the spectral shape and lower gap widths, from 2.0 meV to 6.5 meV, indicate the importance of surface inhomogeneity and proximity effects in previously published tunneling data. Our finding gives no evidence for any important gap anisotropy. Instead, it strongly supports the multiple gap scenario in MgB2 in the clean limit, and the single gap scenario in the dirty limit.

description: The persistence and clinical consequences of rabies virus (RABV) infection have prompted global efforts to develop a safe and effective vaccines against rabies. mRNA vaccines represent a promising option against emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, gaining particular interest since the outbreak of COVID-19. Herein, we report the development of a highly efficacious rabies mRNA vaccine composed of sequence-modified mRNA encoding RABV glycoprotein (RABV-G) packaged in core-shell structured lipopolyplex (LPP) nanoparticles, named LPP-mRNA-G. The bilayer structure of LPP improves protection and delivery of RABV-G mRNA and allows gradual release of mRNA molecules as the polymer degrades. The unique core-shell structured nanoparticle of LPP-mRNA-G facilitates vaccine uptake and demonstrates a desirable biodistribution pattern with low liver targeting upon intramuscular immunization. Single administration of low-dose LPP-mRNA-G in mice elicited potent humoral immune response and provided complete protection against intracerebral challenge with lethal RABV. Similarly, single immunization of low-dose LPP-mRNA-G induced high levels of virus-neutralizing antibody titers in dogs. Collectively, our data demonstrate the potential of LPP-mRNA-G as a promising next-generation rabies vaccine used in human and companion animals.

description: We consider a model describing a spin field-effect transistor based on a quantum nanowire with a tunable spin-orbit interaction embedded between two ferromagnetic leads with anticollinear magnetization. We investigate a regime of a strong interplay between resonance Kondo scattering and interference associated with the Aharonov-Casher effect. Using the Keldysh technique at weak coupling regime we calculate perturbatively the charge current. It is predicted that the effects of the spin-orbit interaction result in a non-vanishing current for any spin polarization of the leads including the case of fully polarized anti-collinear contacts. We analyze the influence of the Aharonov-Casher phase and degree of spin polarization in the leads onto a Kondo temperature.

description: Deep learning (DL)-based Semantic Communications (SemCom) is becoming critical to maximize overall efficiency of communication networks. Nevertheless, SemCom is sensitive to wireless channel uncertainties, source outliers, and suffer from poor generalization bottlenecks. To address the mentioned challenges, this paper develops a latent diffusion model-enabled SemCom system with three key contributions, i.e., i) to handle potential outliers in the source data, semantic errors obtained by projected gradient descent based on the vulnerabilities of DL models, are utilized to update the parameters and obtain an outlier-robust encoder, ii) a lightweight single-layer latent space transformation adapter completes one-shot learning at the transmitter and is placed before the decoder at the receiver, enabling adaptation for out-of-distribution data and enhancing human-perceptual quality, and iii) an end-to-end consistency distillation (EECD) strategy is used to distill the diffusion models trained in latent space, enabling deterministic single or few-step low-latency denoising in various noisy channels while maintaining high semantic quality. Extensive numerical experiments across different datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed SemCom system, consistently proving its robustness to outliers, the capability to transmit data with unknown distributions, and the ability to perform real-time channel denoising tasks while preserving high human perceptual quality, outperforming the existing denoising approaches in semantic metrics such as multi-scale structural similarity index measure (MS-SSIM) and learned perceptual image path similarity (LPIPS).

We show that in the left-right symmetric model the production of Delta_R^{++} by Drell-Yan process via W_R exchange may give the dominant contribution. The same channel for the production of Delta_L^{++} in the Higgs triplet model is insignificant.

description: Since it is usually difficult to capture an all-in-focus image of a 3D scene directly, various multi-focus image fusion methods are employed to generate it from several images focusing at different depths. However, the performance of existing methods is barely satisfactory and often degrades for areas near the focused/defocused boundary (FDB). In this paper, a boundary aware method using deep neural network is proposed to overcome this problem. (1) Aiming to acquire improved fusion images, a 2-channel deep network is proposed to better extract the relative defocus information of the two source images. (2) After analyzing the different situations for patches far away from and near the FDB, we use two networks to handle them respectively. (3) To simulate the reality more precisely, a new approach of dataset generation is designed. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

description: The MiniBooNE detector at Fermilab is designed to search for $ν_μ\to ν_e$ oscillation appearance at $E_ν\sim 1 {\rm GeV}$ and to make a decisive test of the LSND signal. The main detector (inside a veto shield) is a spherical volume containing 0.680 ktons of mineral oil. This inner volume, viewed by 1280 phototubes, is primarily a Čerenkov medium, as the scintillation yield is low. The entire detector is under a 3 m earth overburden. Though the detector is not optimized for low-energy (tens of MeV) events, and the cosmic-ray muon rate is high (10 kHz), we show that MiniBooNE can function as a useful supernova neutrino detector. Simple trigger-level cuts can greatly reduce the backgrounds due to cosmic-ray muons. For a canonical Galactic supernova at 10 kpc, about 190 supernova $\barν_e + p \to e^+ + n$ events would be detected. By adding MiniBooNE to the international network of supernova detectors, the possibility of a supernova being missed would be reduced. Additionally, the paths of the supernova neutrinos through Earth will be different for MiniBooNE and other detectors, thus allowing tests of matter-affected mixing effects on the neutrino signal.

description: Quantum sensing is highly attractive for accessing spectral regions in which the detection of photons is technically challenging: sample information is gained in the spectral region of interest and transferred via entanglement into another spectral range, for which highly sensitive detectors are available. This is especially beneficial for terahertz radiation, as the corresponding photon energy lies in the range of a few meV - an energy where no semiconductor detectors are available and coherent detection schemes or cryogenically cooled bolometers have to be employed. Here, we report on the first demonstration of quantum sensing in the terahertz frequency range in which the terahertz photons interact with a sample in free space and information about the sample thickness is obtained by the detection of visible photons. A nonlinear single-crystal interferometer setup with a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal (PPLN) and a 660 nm pump source is used, generating visible (signal) photons and associated (idler) photons in the terahertz frequency range. Separation from the pump photons and detection of the visible signal photons is achieved by using highly efficient and narrowband volume Bragg gratings and an uncooled scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (sCMOS) camera. The acquired frequency-angular spectra show quantum interference in the Stokes as well as the Anti-Stokes part of collinear forward generation caused by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) and down-conversion as well as up-conversion of thermal photons. The information encoded in the quantum interference can be used to determine the thickness of coatings or functional layers that are mainly transparent in the terahertz spectral range. As a first demonstration, we show layer thickness measurements with terahertz photons based on induced coherence without induced emission.

description: Active matter research focuses on the emergent behavior among interacting self-propelled particles. Unification of seemingly disconnected paradigms -- active phase-separation of repulsive discs and collective motion of self-propelled rods -- is a major challenge in contemporary active matter. Inspired by the quanto-mechanical wave-particle duality, we develop an approach based on the representation of active particles by smoothed continuum fields. On the basis of the collision kinetics, we demonstrate analytically and numerically how nonequilibrium stresses acting among self-driven, anisotropic objects hinder the formation of phase-separated states as observed for self-propelled discs and facilitate the emergence of orientational order. Besides particle shape, the rigidity of self-propelled objects controlling the symmetry of emergent ordered states is as a crucial parameter: impenetrable, anisotropic rods are found to form polar, moving clusters, whereas large-scale nematic structures emerge for soft rods, notably separated by a bistable coexistence regime. These results indicate that the symmetry of the ordered state is not dictated by the symmetry of the interaction potential but is rather a dynamical, emergent property of active systems. This unifying theoretical framework can represent a variety of active systems: living cell tissues, bacterial colonies, cytoskeletal extracts as well as shaken granular media.

description: Controlled charging of electric vehicles, EVs, is a major potential source of flexibility to facilitate the integration of variable renewable energy and reduce the need for stationary energy storage. To offer system services from EVs, fleet aggregators must address the uncertainty of individual driving and charging behaviour. This paper introduces a means of forecasting the service volume available from EVs by considering several EV batteries as one conceptual battery with aggregate power and energy boundaries. Aggregation avoids the difficult prediction of individual driving behaviour. The predictability of the boundaries is demonstrated using a multiple linear regression model which achieves a normalised root mean square error of 20% - 40% for a fleet of 1,000 EVs. A two-stage stochastic model predictive control algorithm is used to schedule reserve services on a day-ahead basis addressing risk trade-offs by including Conditional Value-at-Risk in the objective function. A case study with 1.2 million domestic EV charge records from Great Britain illustrates that increasing fleet size improves prediction accuracy, thereby increasing reserve revenues and decreasing an aggregator's operational costs. For fleet sizes of 400 or above, cost reductions plateau at 60% compared to uncontrolled charging, with an average of 1.8kW of reserve provided per vehicle.

description: We present measurements on spin blockade in a laterally integrated quantum dot. The dot is tuned into the regime of strong Coulomb blockade, confining ~ 50 electrons. At certain electronic states we find an additional mechanism suppressing electron transport. This we identify as spin blockade at zero bias, possibly accompanied by a change in orbital momentum in subsequent dot ground states. We support this by probing the bias, magnetic field and temperature dependence of the transport spectrum. Weak violation of the blockade is modelled by detailed calculations of non-linear transport taking into account forbidden transitions.

description: In order to examine whether or not high-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (HINERs) in narrow-line regions of active galactic nuclei are dusty, we focus on two high-ionization forbidden emission lines, [Fe VII]6087 and [Ne V]3426. We perform photoionization model calculations to investigate possible dependences of the flux ratio of [Fe VII]6087/[Ne V]3426 on various gas properties, in order to investigate how useful this flux ratio to explore the dust abundances in HINERs. Based on our photoionization model calculations, we show that the observed range of the flux ratio of [Fe VII]6087/[Ne V]3426 is consistent with the dust-free models while that is hard to be explained by the dusty models. This suggests that iron is not depleted at HINERs, which implies that the HINERs are not dusty. This results is consistent with the idea that the HINERs are located closer than the dust-sublimation radius (i.e., inner radius of dusty tori) and thus can be hidden by dusty tori when seen from a edge-on view toward the tori, which has been also suggested by the AGN-type dependence of the visibility of high-ionization emission lines.

description: The class of antiperovskite compounds $A_3B$O ($A$ = Ca, Sr, Ba; $B$ = Sn, Pb) has attracted interest as a candidate 3D Dirac system with topological surface states protected by crystal symmetry. A key factor underlying the rich electronic structure of $A_3B$O is the unusual valence state of $B$, i.e., a formal oxidation state of $-4$. Practically, it is not obvious whether anionic $B$ can be stabilized in thin films, due to its unusual chemistry, as well as the polar surface of $A_3B$O, which may render the growth-front surface unstable. We report X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of single-crystalline films of Sr$_3$SnO and Sr$_3$PbO grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We observe shifts in the core-level binding energies that originate from anionic Sn and Pb, consistent with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Near the surface, we observe additional signatures of neutral or cationic Sn and Pb, which may point to an electronic or atomic reconstruction with possible impact on putative topological surface states.

description: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS) are expected to improve comfort, productivity and, most importantly, safety for all road users. To ensure that the systems are safe, rules and regulations describing the systems' approval and validation procedures are in effect in Europe. The UNECE Regulation 157 (R157) is one of those. Annex 3 of R157 describes two driver models, representing the performance of a "competent and careful" driver, which can be used as benchmarks to determine whether, in certain situations, a crash would be preventable by a human driver. However, these models have not been validated against human behavior in real safety-critical events. Therefore, this study uses counterfactual simulation to assess the performance of the two models when applied to 38 safety-critical cut-in near-crashes from the SHRP2 naturalistic driving study. The results show that the two computational models performed rather differently from the human drivers: one model showed a generally delayed braking reaction compared to the human drivers, causing crashes in three of the original near-crashes. The other model demonstrated, in general, brake onsets substantially earlier than the human drivers, possibly being overly sensitive to lateral perturbations. That is, the first model does not seem to behave as the competent and careful driver it is supposed to represent, while the second seems to be overly careful. Overall, our results show that, if models are to be included in regulations, they need to be substantially improved. We argue that achieving this will require better validation across the scenario types that the models are intended to cover (e.g., cut-in conflicts), a process which should include applying the models counterfactually to near-crashes and validating them against several different safety related metrics.

description: For some time, the theoretical result for the transition temperature of a dilute three-dimensional Bose gas in an arbitrarily wide harmonic trap has been known to first order in the interaction strength. We extend that result to second order. The first-order result for a gas trapped in a harmonic potential can be computed in mean field theory (in contrast to the first order result for a uniform gas, which cannot). We show that, at second order, perturbation theory suffices for relating the transition temperature to the chemical potential at the transition, but the chemical potential is non-perturbative at the desired order. The necessary information about the chemical potential can be extracted, however, from recent lattice simulations of uniform Bose gases.

Collinear effective theory at subleading order and its application to heavy-light currents

description: We consider a collinear effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy E, interacting with collinear and soft gluons by integrating out collinear degrees of freedom to subleading order. The collinear effective theory offers a systematic expansion in power series of a small parameter lambda ~ p_{\perp}/E, where p_{\perp} is the transverse momentum of a collinear particle. We construct the effective Lagrangian to first order in $λ$, and discuss its features including additional symmetries such as collinear gauge invariance and reparameterization invariance. Heavy-light currents can be matched from the full theory onto the operators in the collinear effective theory at one loop and to order lambda. We obtain heavy-light current operators in the effective theory, calculate their Wilson coefficients at this order, and the renormalization group equations for the Wilson coefficients are solved. As an application, we calculate the form factors for decays of B mesons to light energetic mesons to order lambda and at leading-logarithmic order in alpha_s.

description: Beta-Ga2O3 has emerged as a promising candidate for electronic device applications because of its ultra-wide bandgap, high breakdown electric field, and large-area affordable substrates grown from the melt. However, its thermal conductivity is at least one order of magnitude lower than that of other wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC and GaN. Thermal dissipation in electronics made from beta-Ga2O3 will be the bottleneck for real-world applications, especially for high power and high frequency devices. Similar to GaN/AlGaN interfaces, beta-(AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 heterogeneous structures have been used to form a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) where joule heating is localized. The thermal properties of beta-(AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 are the key for heat dissipation in these devices while they have not been studied before. This work reports the first measurement on thermal conductivity of beta-(Al0.1Ga0.9)2O3/Ga2O3 superlattices from 80 K to 480 K. Its thermal conductivity is significantly reduced (5.7 times reduction) at room temperature comparing with that of bulk Ga2O3. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of bulk Ga2O3 with (010) orientation is measured and found to be consistent with literature values regardless of Sn doping. We discuss the phonon scattering mechanism in these structures by calculating their inverse thermal diffusivity. By comparing the estimated thermal boundary conductance (TBC) of beta-(Al0.1Ga0.9)2O3/Ga2O3 interfaces and Ga2O3 maximum TBC, we reveal that some phonons in the superlattices transmit through several interfaces before scattering with other phonons or structural imperfections. This study is not only important for Ga2O3 electronics applications especially for high power and high frequency applications, but also for the fundamental thermal science of phonon transport across interfaces and in superlattices.
Physical meaning of nonextensive term in Massieu functions

description: In this paper we explore the significance of nonextensive terms in Massieu functions. Finite-size effects are in many cases dominated by a term proportional to the surface area. Nevertheless, in numerical simulations of finite systems with periodic boundary conditions, the nonextensive term can become the dominant correction to Massieu functions. This paper presents a general approach linking these nonextensive terms to thermodynamic fluctuations, demonstrating that equations of state inherently encode this information. Numerical simulations corroborate our results. The examples used are hard sphere and hard disk fluids and a one-dimensional spin lattice, emphasizing the applicability of the results across different classes of systems.

description: We calculate general moments of the lepton energy spectrum in inclusive semileptonic B -> X_c l νdecay. Moments which allow the determination of mb^{1S} and lambda1 with theoretical uncertainties Delta(mb^{1S}) ~ 0.04 GeV and Delta(lambda1) ~ 0.05 GeV^2 are presented. The short distance 1S mass is used to extract a mass parameter free of renormalon ambiguities. Moments which are insensitive to mb and lambda1 and therefore test the size of the 1/mb^3 matrix elements and the validity of the OPE are also presented. Finally, we give an expression for the total branching ratio with a lower cut on the lepton energy, which allows one to eliminate a source of model dependence in current determinations of |Vcb| from B -> X_c l νdecay.

description: In 2002, Isenberg-Mazzeo-Pollack (IMP) constructed a series of vacuum initial data sets via a gluing construction. In this paper, we investigate some local geometry of these initial data sets as well as implications regarding their spacetime developments. In particular, we state conditions for the existence of outer trapped surfaces near the center of the IMP gluing neck and thence use a generalization of the Penrose incompleteness theorem to deduce null incompleteness of the resulting spacetimes.

description: Farms and farming are major contributors to the world economy, directly responsible for a large part of GDP. These achievements are not trivial and imply that farms are being managed in reasonably effective ways, else agricultural industries would not be sustained. However has the study of Farm Management within Australia made significant contributions to agriculture or lagged in the background. Is it contributing to better Farm Management or merely cataloguing what has happened? Is it leading or following? During recent years there has been an increasing interest in managing farms more sustainably, with emphasis on issues beyond short-term profitability to encompassing rural communities, ecosystems, biodiversity, ethics of technology and politics. The complexity of management has increased, but Farm Management may not be keeping pace with these changes. This paper reviews aspects of Farm Management and how the discipline / field is viewed by different participants. This will be contrasted with related areas of research that have expanded over recent times. It is argued that Farm Management is more a field than an identifiable discipline and questions are raised about where Farm Management is going. Suggestions are made where future studies in farm management could go, the needs for teaching this subject and what are the challenges to be faced in order to enhance the relevance of Farm Management studies for professional farmers.
