description: Phosphorene has emerged as an atomically-thin platform for optoelectronics and nanophotonics due to its excellent nonlinear optical properties and the possibility of actively tuning light-matter interactions through electrical doping. While phosphorene is a two-dimensional semiconductor, plasmon resonances characterized by pronounced anisotropy and strong optical confinement are anticipated to emerge in highly-doped samples. Here we show that the localized plasmons supported by phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit high tunability in relation to both edge termination and doping charge polarity, and can trigger an intense nonlinear optical response at moderate doping levels. Our explorations are based on a second-principles theoretical framework, employing maximally localized Wannier functions constructed from ab-inito electronic structure calculations, which we introduce here to describe the linear and nonlinear optical response of PNRs on mesoscopic length scales. Atomistic simulations reveal the high tunability of plasmons in doped PNRs at near-infrared frequencies, which can facilitate synergy between electronic band structure and plasmonic field confinement in doped PNRs to drive efficient high-harmonic generation. Our findings establish phosphorene nanoribbons as a versatile atomically-thin material candidate for nonlinear plasmonics.

description: In earlier work we showed that a frame dependent effective action motivated by the postulates of three-space general coordinate invariance and Weyl scaling invariance exactly mimics a cosmological constant in Robertson-Walker (RW) spacetimes. Here we study the implications of this effective action for small fluctuations around a spatially flat RW background geometry. The equations for the conserving extension of the modified stress-energy tensor can be integrated in closed form, and involve only the metric perturbation $h_{00}$. Hence the equations for tensor and vector perturbations are unmodified, but there are Hubble scale additions to the scalar perturbation equations, which nonetheless admit no propagating wave solutions. Consequently, there are no modifications to standard gravitational wave propagation theory, but there may be observable implications for cosmology. We give a self-contained discussion, including an analysis of the restricted class of gauge transformations that act when a frame dependent effective action is present.

Verbal and Behavioural Patterns during Haptic Exploration in Blind and Visual Impaired Children, Implications for Developmental Plasticity
Creators: name: Temi, Santa
name: D'Angiulli, Amedeo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: RESEARCH QUESTION: We investigated whether congenitally totally blind children verbalize during a raised-line identification-task (haptic picture naming task) and whether speech production by congenitally totally blind (CTB) children differs as compared to that by sighted but partially visually impaired (SVI) children. METHOD: Our experimental design consisted of two exploration-identification tasks separated by a drawing task. During each phase of the experiment children (n= 16), CTB (n=9) and VI (n=7), were given a set of 13 Mylar plastic raised-line outline pictures, extensively validated in previous research, depicting common objects (e.g., cup, happy face, bottle, etc.), to explore haptically (SVI blindfolded) and to name the represented object. Children speech was analyzed through tools offered by the CLAN (Computerized Language ANalysis) program. RESULTS: We found that, even though, generally, in the present task all children did not verbalize a lot, CTB children verbalized more and for longer than their SVI counterparts. Also, as reflected by CLAN analysis, CTB children’s speech was richer in utterances and number of words produced. We obtained similar results when we considered the semantic contents of the verbalizations. However, the verbalization pattern of both groups did not fully support Luria/Vygotsky hypothesis. While for both groups, a greater number of sentences were associated with complex pictures, which presented a relatively higher difficulty for object naming, in both groups, minimum or no verbalizations were associated with unidentified pictures. CONCLUSIONS: The trend that our results point out seems partly in accordance with the classical theory proposed by Luria/Vygotsky. Children with congenital total blindness manifest a wider range of verbalization, semantic and exploration abilities that seem associated with concurrent problem solving. The verbal and behavioral patterns observed in the CTB children are consistent with recent findings from the literature pointing at the cross-modal involvement of integrated brain regions which include frontal, parietal and occipital areas. In particular, the prominent role of speech in our data suggests that brain networks associated with Broca’s area could play a key role in compensatory plasticity by the mediation mechanism postulated by Luria/Vygotsky.

description: We present recent results from lattice QCD relevant for the study of strongly interacting matter as it is produced in heavy ion collision experiments. The equation of state at non-vanishing density from a Taylor expansion up to $6^{th}$ order will be discussed for a strangeness neutral system and using the expansion coefficients of the series limits on the critical point are estimated. Chemical freeze-out temperatures from the STAR and ALICE Collaborations will be compared to lines of constant physics calculated from the Taylor expansion of QCD bulk thermodynamic quantities. We show that qualitative features of the $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ dependence of skewness and kurtosis ratios of net proton-number fluctuations measured by the STAR Collaboration can be understood from QCD results for cumulants of conserved baryon-number fluctuations. As an example for recent progress towards the determination of spectral and transport properties of the QGP from lattice QCD, we will present constraints on the thermal photon rate determined from a spectral reconstruction of continuum extrapolated lattice correlation functions in combination with input from most recent perturbative calculations.

description: Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is an uncommon cause of pain in the lower back region and is usually found in women. The condition is not fully understood and most articles in the medical literature describe a small series or anecdotal reports. This condition is an uncommon differential diagnosis of lower back pain and may be misdiagnosed in the absence of knowledge and careful assessment. This disorder can be diagnosed appropriately following a high index of suspicion and judicious use of advanced radiological imaging. This succinct review is based on the relevant findings, from the published article in PubMed and PubMed Central (searched during March–April 2023), with the search term “Osteitis condensans” and “Osteitis condensans ilii” and includes the articles published within the period of the last 10 years. The article aims to serve as a refresher of the knowledge regarding OCI for students and practitioners alike
Quantum Quench and Scaling of Entanglement Entropy

description: Global quantum quench with a finite quench rate which crosses critical points is known to lead to universal scaling of correlation functions as functions of the quench rate. In this work, we explore scaling properties of the entanglement entropy of a subsystem in a harmonic chain during a mass quench which asymptotes to finite constant values at early and late times and for which the dynamics is exactly solvable. When the initial state is the ground state, we find that for large enough subsystem sizes the entanglement entropy becomes independent of size. This is consistent with Kibble-Zurek scaling for slow quenches, and with recently discussed "fast quench scaling" for quenches fast compared to physical scales, but slow compared to UV cutoff scales.

description: Smart home assistants function best when user commands are direct and well-specified (e.g., "turn on the kitchen light"), or when a hard-coded routine specifies the response. In more natural communication, however, human speech is unconstrained, often describing goals (e.g., "make it cozy in here" or "help me save energy") rather than indicating specific target devices and actions to take on those devices. Current systems fail to understand these under-specified commands since they cannot reason about devices and settings as they relate to human situations. We introduce large language models (LLMs) to this problem space, exploring their use for controlling devices and creating automation routines in response to under-specified user commands in smart homes. We empirically study the baseline quality and failure modes of LLM-created action plans with a survey of age-diverse users. We find that LLMs can reason creatively to achieve challenging goals, but they experience patterns of failure that diminish their usefulness. We address these gaps with Sasha, a smarter smart home assistant. Sasha responds to loosely-constrained commands like "make it cozy" or "help me sleep better" by executing plans to achieve user goals, e.g., setting a mood with available devices, or devising automation routines. We implement and evaluate Sasha in a hands-on user study, showing the capabilities and limitations of LLM-driven smart homes when faced with unconstrained user-generated scenarios.

description: A search for dark matter in events with a displaced nonresonant muon pair and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton (pp) collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV produced by the LHC in 2016-2018. No significant excess over the predicted backgrounds is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the inelastic dark matter production cross section $σ$(pp $\to$ A' $\to$ $χ_1$ $χ_2$) and the decay branching fraction $\mathcal{B}$($χ_2$ $\to$ $χ_1 μ^+ μ^-$), where A' is a dark photon and $χ_1$ and $χ_2$ are states in the dark sector with near mass degeneracy. This is the first dedicated collider search for inelastic dark matter.

description: IT-security experts engage in behavior-based malware analysis in order to learn about previously unknown samples of malicious software (malware) or malware families. For this, they need to find and categorize suspicious patterns from large collections of execution traces. Currently available systems do not meet the analysts' needs described as: visual access suitable for complex data structures, visual representations appropriate for IT-security experts, provide work flow-specific interaction techniques, and the ability to externalize knowledge in the form of rules to ease analysis and for sharing with colleagues. To close this gap, we designed and developed KAMAS, a knowledge-assisted visualization system for behavior-based malware analysis. KAMAS supports malware analysts with visual analytics and knowledge externalization methods for the analysis process. The paper at hand is a design study that describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of the prototype. We report on the validation of KAMAS by expert reviews, a user study with domain experts, and focus group meetings with analysts from industry. Additionally, we reflect the gained insights of the design study and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the applied visualization methods.

description: Micro-ultrasound (micro-US) is a novel 29-MHz ultrasound technique that provides 3-4 times higher resolution than traditional ultrasound, potentially enabling low-cost, accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer. Accurate prostate segmentation is crucial for prostate volume measurement, cancer diagnosis, prostate biopsy, and treatment planning. However, prostate segmentation on micro-US is challenging due to artifacts and indistinct borders between the prostate, bladder, and urethra in the midline. This paper presents MicroSegNet, a multi-scale annotation-guided transformer UNet model designed specifically to tackle these challenges. During the training process, MicroSegNet focuses more on regions that are hard to segment (hard regions), characterized by discrepancies between expert and non-expert annotations. We achieve this by proposing an annotation-guided binary cross entropy (AG-BCE) loss that assigns a larger weight to prediction errors in hard regions and a lower weight to prediction errors in easy regions. The AG-BCE loss was seamlessly integrated into the training process through the utilization of multi-scale deep supervision, enabling MicroSegNet to capture global contextual dependencies and local information at various scales. We trained our model using micro-US images from 55 patients, followed by evaluation on 20 patients. Our MicroSegNet model achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.939 and a Hausdorff distance of 2.02 mm, outperforming several state-of-the-art segmentation methods, as well as three human annotators with different experience levels.

description: Interpersonal relationships play an important role in work success, and this is especially so for managers. The present study tests the Positive Relational Management (PRM) Scale and its influence on organizational trust, with the effects potentially mediated by work-life balance. Hence, more positive relationships at work shape better management of work-life issues, and ultimately build trust perceptions. We test this on a sample of 600 New Zealand managers and include managerial hierarchy as a moderator to determine whether positive relationships become less important as management level increases. Ultimately, we test a moderated mediation model in PROCESS and confirm the dimensionality and reliability of the scale. We find PRM is positively related to work-life balance and organizational trust, while work-life balance partially mediates this effect. In addition to two significant two-way interactions, we find support for a moderated mediation effect, with the indirect effect of PRM being positive and strongest for low-level managers, but a reduction in the strength of the indirect effects for middle- and senior-managers. Hence, the importance of interpersonal relationships is especially powerful for low-level managers. The implications for understanding the importance of PRM for managers are discussed.

In this paper, we present a novel streaming ASR architecture that outputs a confusion network while maintaining limited latency, as needed for interactive applications. We show that 1-best results of our model are on par with a comparable RNN-T system, while the richer hypothesis set allows second-pass rescoring to achieve 10-20\% lower word error rate on the LibriSpeech task. We also show that our model outperforms a strong RNN-T baseline on a far-field voice assistant task.

description: A hereditary property of quivers is a property preserved by restriction to any full subquiver. Similarly, a mutation-invariant property of quivers is a property preserved by mutation. Using forks, a class of quivers developed by M. Warkentin, we introduce a new hereditary and mutation-invariant property. We prove that a quiver being mutation-equivalent to a finite number of non-forks -- defined as having a finite forkless part -- is this new property, using only elementary methods. Additionally, we show that a more general property -- having a finite pre-forkless part -- is also a new hereditary and mutation-invariant property in much the same manner.

description: We consider a minimal renormalizable and gauge invariant dark matter (DM) model, in which the singlet fermion DM has only axial couplings to a new pseudoscalar mediator. The mixing between the pseudoscalar mediator and the standard model (SM) Higgs boson induces the interactions between the DM and SM particles. The DM candidate in this model can provide the correct thermal relic density and evades all direct detections, while it can produce observable signals in indirect detection experiments due to its large annihilation cross section. A comparative study for DM phenomenology at the LHC is conducted for models with scalar mediators that have either scalar or pseudoscalar couplings to SM particles and the DM. We find that the three scenarios have distinguishable features in scalar decay branching ratio, DM pair production cross section as well as the signal reaches at the LHC. The LHC searches for some visible signals related to the scalar sector are also discussed.

description: We investigate the glueball spectrum for Nf=4 fermions corresponding to low pion masses of mπ∼260MeV. We do so by making use of configurations produced with maximally twisted fermions within the framework of the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC). We extract states that belong to irreducible representations of the octagonal group of rotations R in combination with the quantum numbers of charge conjugation C and parity P, i.e. RPC. We implement the Generalized Eigenvalue Problem (GEVP) using a basis consisting only of gluonic operators. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of light dynamical quarks on the glueball spectrum and how this compares to the statistically more accurate spectrum of pure gauge theory. We employed large ensembles of the order of ∼ O(10K) configurations each for three different lattice spacings. Our results demonstrate that in the scalar channel A1++ we obtain an additional state due to inclusion of the dynamical quarks while the mass of the tensor glueball JPC=2++ appears to be insensitive to the inclusion of sea quarks. In addition we perform an investigation of the low lying spectrum of the representation A1++ for Nf=2+1+1 twisted mass quarks with low masses and demonstrate that the lowest mass depends strongly on the pion mass. This suggests that the ground state of the scalar glueball has a quark content.

description: The multiplicity dependence of multistrange hadron yields in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at several TeV allows one to study the transition from very big to very small systems, in particular, concerning collective effects. I investigate this, employing a core-corona approach based on new microcanonical hadronization procedures in the EPOS4 framework, as well as new methods allowing one to transform energy-momentum flow through freeze-out surfaces into invariant-mass elements. I try to disentangle effects due to ``canonical suppression'' and ``core-corona separation'', which will both lead to a reduction of the yields at low multiplicity.

description: In Wireless Networked Control Systems (WNCSs), the feedback control loops are closed over a wireless communication network. The proliferation of WNCSs requires efficient network resource management mechanisms since the control performance is significantly affected by the impairments caused by network limitations. In conventional communication networks, the amount of transmitted data is one of the key performance indicators. In contrast, in WNCSs, the efficiency of the network is measured by its ability to facilitate control applications, and the data transmission rate should be limited to avoid network congestion. In this work, we consider an experimental setup where multiple control loops share a wireless communication network. Our testbed comprises up to five control loops that include Zolertia Re-Mote devices implementing IEEE 802.15.4 standard. We propose a novel relevance- and network-aware transport layer (TL) scheme for WNCSs. The proposed scheme admits the most important measurements for the control process into the network while taking current network conditions into account. Moreover, we propose a mechanism for the scheme parameters adaptation in dynamic scenarios with unknown network statistics. Unlike the conventional TL mechanisms failing to provide adequate control performance due to either congestion in the network or inefficient utilization of available resources, our method prevents network congestion while keeping the control performance high. We argue that relevance- and network-awareness are critical components of network protocol design to avoid control performance degradation in practice.

description: Photometric redshifts are a key component of many science objectives in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). In this paper, we describe and compare the codes used to compute photometric redshifts for HSC-SSP, how we calibrate them, and the typical accuracy we achieve with the HSC five-band photometry (grizy). We introduce a new point estimator based on an improved loss function and demonstrate that it works better than other commonly used estimators. We find that our photo-z's are most accurate at 0.2

description: The theory of slow-fast gradient systems leads in a natural way to non-equilibrium steady states, because on the slow time scale the fast subsystem stays in steady states that are driven by the interaction with the slow system. Using the theory of convergence of gradient systems in the sense of the energy-dissipation principle shows that there is a natural characterization of these non-equilibrium steady states as saddle points of a Lagrangian where the slow variables are fixed. We give applications to slow-fast reaction-diffusion systems based on the so-called cosh-type gradient structure for reactions. It is shown that two binary reaction give rise to a ternary reaction with a state-dependent reaction coefficient. Moreover, we show that a reaction-diffusion equation with a thin membrane-like layer convergences to a transmission condition, where the formerly quadratic dissipation potential for diffusion convergences to a cosh-type dissipation potential for the transmission in the membrane limit.

The Planck length and the constancy of the speed of light in five dimensional space parametrized with two time coordinates

description: In relativity and quantum field theory, the vacuum speed of light is assumed to be constant; the range of validity of general relativity is determined by the Planck length. However, there has been no convincing theory explaining the constancy of the light speed. In this paper, we assume a five dimensional spacetime with three spatial dimensions and two local time coordinates giving us a hint about the constancy of the speed of light. By decomposing the five dimensional spacetime vector into four-dimensional vectors for each time dimension and by minimizing the resulting action, for a certain class of additional time dimensions, we observe the existence of a minimal length scale, which we identify as the Planck scale. We derive an expression for the speed of light as a function of space and time and observe the constancy of the vacuum speed of light in the observable universe.
Kinks and antikinks of buckled graphene: A testing ground for phi^4 field model

description: Kinks and antikinks of the classical phi^4 field model are topological solutions connecting its two distinct ground states. Here we establish an analogy between the excitations of a long graphene nanoribbon buckled in the transverse direction and phi^4 model results. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the dynamics of a buckled graphene nanoribbon with a single kink and with a kink-antikink pair. Several features of phi^4 model have been observed including the kink-antikink capture at low energies, kink-antikink reflection at high energies, and a bounce resonance. Our results pave the way towards the experimental observation of a rich variety of phi^4 model predictions based on graphene.
Nonexponential spin decay in a quantum kinetic description of the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism mediated by impurity scattering

description: The electron spin dynamics in an optically excited narrow quantum well is studied, where the electron spins precess in a k-dependent magnetic field while the electrons scatter at localized impurities. For the resulting spin decay, which is commonly known as the D'yakonov-Perel' mechansim, analytical expressions in the strong- and weak-scattering limits are available. It is found by the numerical solution of quantum kinetic equations in a broad range of parameters that, in situations that are typically relevant for ultrafast optical experiments, the dynamics of the total spin polarization significantly deviates from the pertinent analytical results. This is attributed to the broad spectral width of the optically excited spin-polarized electron distribution, which gives rise to a spin dephasing due to inhomogeneous broadening. Furthermore, it is found that the decay of the spin polarization need not be exponential. The notion of a spin decay time becomes ambiguous and different definitions of spin decay times can lead to different outcomes. The long-term dynamics of the decay of the spin polarization is even dominated by an algebraically decaying component. These findings highlight the importance of the effects of the broad spectral distribution of optically excited carriers in ultrashort magneto-optical experiments.

description: We establish a general map between Grassmann functionals for fermions and probability or weight distributions for Ising spins. The equivalence between the two formulations is based on identical transfer matrices and expectation values of products of observables. The map preserves locality properties and can be realized for arbitrary dimensions. We present a simple example where a quantum field theory for free massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional Minkowski space is represented by an asymmetric Ising model on a euclidean square lattice.
