description: We investigate the dissipative quench dynamics in a family of two-band fermionic systems by linearly ramping the staggered on-site energy. In the Lindblad formalism, we present an analytical solution in the presence of uniform loss or loss difference on bipartite lattices, which tells that dissipation exponentially suppresses the Kibble-Zurek (KZ) scaling behavior and the quantum jump term of the dissipation is responsible for the anti-KZ (AKZ) behavior. Interestingly, we find two different scaling behaviors at the limit of loss difference. Both scaling behaviors arise from the gapless Liouvillian. But one is accompanied by impulse stage rendered by the criticality of the system, so that it is ascribed to the universal KZ scaling law. Another depends on the dissipation strength and there is no impulse stage in it. We also point out a convenient way to observe the two new scaling behaviors by counting the number of residual particles in the end, since it is immune to the influence of AKZ behavior. We illustrate our findings through the prototypical one-dimensional Rice-Mele model first. Then, in the one-dimensional Shockley model and the two-dimensional Haldane model for Chern insulators, we show that the two scaling behaviors can appear together or separately with appropriate quench protocols.

description: Owing to its rapid advancement, information technology has emerged as a critical tool in assembly construction for addressing market demands, improving project quality, and reducing costs. However, the absence of unified informatization standards within the assembly construction industry has led to the adoption of different technologies and systems by various businesses during the development of informatization systems; this has generated issues such as unbalanced development and mutual incompatibility. While researchers have examined these issues, a comprehensive assessment of the maturity of informatization in assembly-building projects is lacking. Assessment of the maturity of informatization can provide evaluation standards and methods for the development of informatization of assembly buildings, explore the important and difficult points of applying informatization technology to assembly buildings, and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to promote the benign development of informatization of assembly buildings. Therefore, this study strives to develop a model for assessing the maturity of informatization of assembly-building projects. This study begins by determining the level of the maturity level of informatization, key process areas, and key practices for assembly-building projects using the capability maturity model (CMM). On this basis, the maturity evaluation index system was constructed through expert interviews and questionnaires. Furthermore, in order to assign weights to the indicators comprehensively, the ordinal relationship method and entropy weight method were implemented. The evaluation criteria were determined by consulting the relevant literature and expert opinions. Followingly, an evaluation model was established based on the cloud matter element (CME) theory. Finally, a case study demonstrates that the methodology can be utilized to quantify the maturity of project informatization. In conclusion, this study unearths a system for assessing the level of maturity of informatization of assembly-building projects, which provides a valuable reference for promoting the continuous development of the maturity of informatization in assembly-building projects.

description: In this paper, the first in a series, we present a new theoretical model for the global structure and dissipation of relativistically magnetized collisionless shock waves. Quite remarkably, we find that in contrast to unmagnetized shocks, the leading energy dissipation channel does not involve collective plasma interactions. Rather, it is a consequence of nonlinear particle dynamics. We demonstrate that the kinetic-scale shock transition can be modeled as a stationary system consisting of a large set of cold beams coupled through the magnetic field. The fundamental mechanism governing shock dissipation relies on the onset of chaos in orbital dynamics within quasiperiodic solitonic structures. We discuss the impact of upstream temperature and magnetization on the shock profile, recovering the magnetic field compression, downstream velocities, and heating expected from the Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions. We deduce a rate of entropy generation from the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents and discuss the thermalization of the beam distribution. Our model provides a general framework to study magnetized collisionless shock structures.

description: Foehn winds, characterized by abrupt temperature increases and wind speed changes, significantly impact regions on the leeward side of mountain ranges, e.g., by spreading wildfires. Understanding how foehn occurrences change under climate change is crucial. Unfortunately, foehn cannot be measured directly but has to be inferred from meteorological measurements employing suitable classification schemes. Hence, this approach is typically limited to specific periods for which the necessary data are available. We present a novel approach for reconstructing historical foehn occurrences using a combination of unsupervised and supervised probabilistic statistical learning methods. We utilize in-situ measurements (available for recent decades) to train an unsupervised learner (finite mixture model) for automatic foehn classification. These labeled data are then linked to reanalysis data (covering longer periods) using a supervised learner (lasso or boosting). This allows to reconstruct past foehn probabilities based solely on reanalysis data. Applying this method to ERA5 reanalysis data for six stations across Switzerland and Austria achieves accurate hourly reconstructions of north and south foehn occurrence, respectively, dating back to 1940. This paves the way for investigating how seasonal foehn patterns have evolved over the past 83 years, providing valuable insights into climate change impacts on these critical wind events.

description: Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a significant cause of perinatal and neonatal disease. Maternal screening for GBS colonization followed by intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is effective in reducing invasive GBS disease in newborns. In this study we determined the prevalence of maternal GBS colonization including antibiotic susceptibility patterns and serotype distribution of GBS among pregnant women at a tertiary-level hospital in South Africa.

Conclusion: We report a high prevalence of GBS colonization amongst pregnant women. Although penicillin remains the drug of choice for treating GBS, active surveillance should be encouraged to monitor susceptibility trends in order to detect emergence of resistance. Erythromycin and clindamycin should only be used in penicillin intolerant cases after susceptibility results are available. Vancomycin or levofloxacin may be considered in a setting of high levels of macrolide resistance. Serotype Ia was found to be the commonest serotype in this study. This is consistent with local and international findings.

description: We investigate the spatial $ z $-correlators of meson operators in $ N_f=2+1+1+1 $ lattice QCD with optimal domain-wall quarks across eight temperatures ranging from 325 to 3250 MeV. The meson operators include a complete set of Dirac bilinears for ten flavor combinations. Our findings reveal a hierarchical restoration of chiral symmetry in QCD with $ (u, d, s, c, b) $ quarks, progressing sequentially from $ SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_A $ to $ SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R \times U(1)_A $, then to $ SU(4)_L \times SU(4)_R \times U(1)_A $, and finally to $ SU(5)_L \times SU(5)_R \times U(1)_A $ as the temperature increases. Additionally, we explore the emergence of the $ SU(2)_{CS} $ chiral-spin symmetry and compare the temperature windows for all flavor combinations. Our results indicate that the temperature windows for the emergent $SU(2)_{CS}$ symmetry are primarily dominated by the $ \bar{u} b $ and $ \bar{s} b $ sectors.

description: This study presents acoustic-based methods for the control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). This study proposes two different models for implementing boundary and path control on low-cost AUVs using acoustic communication and a single central acoustic beacon. Two methods are presented: the Range Variation-Based (RVB) model completely relies on range data obtained by acoustic modems, whereas the Heading Estimation-Based (HEB) model uses ranges and range rates to estimate the position of the central boundary beacon and perform assigned behaviors. The models are tested on two boundary control behaviors: Fencing and Milling. Fencing behavior ensures AUVs return within predefined boundaries, while Milling enables the AUVs to move cyclically on a predefined path around the beacon. Models are validated by successfully performing the boundary control behaviors in simulations, pool tests, including artificial underwater currents, and field tests conducted in the ocean. All tests were performed with fully autonomous platforms, and no external input or sensor was provided to the AUVs during validation. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented in the study, focusing on the effect and application of a multi-robot system.

description: We build on the theoretical framework of communicative forms and memetic dimensions to examine how obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) doctors’ TikTok videos function as digital artifacts to educate and engage with youth culture. The framework of communicative forms defines TikTok as a communicative environment with unique practices, technological affordances, aesthetics, and digital culture. The three memetic dimensions of content, form, and stance refer to the ideas, configurations, and positions conveyed by memes that are shown on TikTok. We identified interrelated memetic ways OBGYN TikTok Docs deliver sexual health information using five communicative forms (explanatory, documentary, comedic, communal, and interactive). Our findings show that the relatability of OBGYN TikTok Docs was a key element in each communicative form and was crafted by a combination of the three memetic dimensions. In using various communicative forms, the boundaries of health education and entertainment are blurred. Through this blurring, the videos portray a dual-sided presentation of OBGYN TikTok docs, showing them as authentic health professionals and relatable people.

description: Chronic primary systemic vasculitis (PSV) comprises a group of heterogeneous diseases that are broadly classified by affected blood vessel size, clinical traits and the presence (or absence) of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) against proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). In small vessel vasculitis (SVV), ANCA are not present in all patients, and they are rarely detected in patients with vasculitis involving medium (MVV) and large (LVV) blood vessels. Some studies have demonstrated that lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2/CD107b) is a target of ANCA in SVV, but its presence and prognostic value in childhood MVV and LVV is not known. This study utilized retrospective sera and clinical data obtained from 90 children and adolescents with chronic PSV affecting small (SVV, n = 53), medium (MVV, n = 16), and large (LVV, n = 21) blood vessels. LAMP-2-ANCA were measured in time-of-diagnosis sera using a custom electrochemiluminescence assay. The threshold for seropositivity was established in a comparator cohort of patients with systemic autoinflammatory disease. The proportion of LAMP-2-ANCA-seropositive individuals and sera concentrations of LAMP-2-ANCA were assessed for associations with overall and organ-specific disease activity at diagnosis and one-year follow up. This study demonstrated a greater time-of-diagnosis prevalence and sera concentration of LAMP-2-ANCA in MVV (52.9% seropositive) and LVV (76.2%) compared to SVV (45.3%). Further, LAMP-2-ANCA-seropositive individuals had significantly lower overall, but not organ-specific, disease activity at diagnosis. This did not, however, result in a greater reduction in disease activity or the likelihood of achieving inactive disease one-year after diagnosis. The results of this study demonstrate particularly high prevalence and concentration of LAMP-2-ANCA in chronic PSV that affects large blood vessels and is seronegative for traditional ANCA. Our findings invite reconsideration of roles for autoantigens other than MPO and PR3 in pediatric vasculitis, particularly in medium- and large-sized blood vessels.

description: Because imitation learning relies on human demonstrations in hard-to-simulate settings, the inclusion of force control in this method has resulted in a shortage of training data, even with a simple change in speed. Although the field of data augmentation has addressed the lack of data, conventional methods of data augmentation for robot manipulation are limited to simulation-based methods or downsampling for position control. This paper proposes a novel method of data augmentation that is applicable to force control and preserves the advantages of real-world datasets. We applied teaching-playback at variable speeds as real-world data augmentation to increase both the quantity and quality of environmental reactions at variable speeds. An experiment was conducted on bilateral control-based imitation learning using a method of imitation learning equipped with position-force control. We evaluated the effect of real-world data augmentation on two tasks, pick-and-place and wiping, at variable speeds, each from two human demonstrations at fixed speed. The results showed a maximum 55% increase in success rate from a simple change in speed of real-world reactions and improved accuracy along the duration/frequency command by gathering environmental reactions at variable speeds.

description: We use synthetic photometry from Gaia DR3 BP and RP spectra for a large selected sample of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to derive the magnitude of the Red Giant Branch (RGB) tip for these two galaxies in several passbands in various widely used optical photometric systems, including those of space missions that have not yet started operations. The RGB tip is estimated by fitting a well-motivated model to the RGB luminosity function (LF) within a fully Bayesian framework, allowing for a proper representation of the uncertainties of all the involved parameters and their correlations. Adopting the best available distance and interstellar extinction estimates we provide a calibration of the RGB tip as a standard candle for the following passbands: Johnson-Kron-Cousins I (mainly used for validation purposes), Hubble Space Telescope F814W, Sloan Digital Sky Survey i and z, PanSTARRS1 y, James Webb Space Telescope F090W, Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Z087, and Euclid I$_E$, with an accuracy of a few per cent, depending on the case. The trend of the absolute magnitude of the tip as a function of colour in the different passbands, beyond the range spanned by the LMC and SMC, as well as its dependency on age, is explored by means of theoretical models. These calibrations can be very helpful to obtain state-of-the-art RGB tip distance estimates to stellar systems in a very large range of distances directly from data in the natural photometric system of these surveys and/or missions, without recurring to photometric transformations.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to pneumonia and hyperinflammation. Here we show a sensitive method to measure polyclonal T cell activation by downstream effects on responder cells like basophils, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, monocytes and neutrophils in whole blood. We report a clear T cell hyporeactivity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients that is pronounced in ventilated patients, associated with prolonged virus persistence and reversible with clinical recovery. COVID-19-induced T cell hyporeactivity is T cell extrinsic and caused by plasma components, independent of occasional immunosuppressive medication of the patients. Monocytes respond stronger in males than females and IL-2 partially restores T cell activation. Downstream markers of T cell hyporeactivity are also visible in fresh blood samples of ventilated patients. Based on our data we developed a score to predict fatal outcomes and identify patients that may benefit from strategies to overcome T cell hyporeactivity. Perturbed T cell responses and disturbed cytokine secretion have been shown during SARS-CoV2 infection in patients. Here the authors show reduced polyclonal T cell activity in COVID-19 patients that is caused by plasma factors and linked to poor prognosis and viral persistence.

description: Recent advancements in code completion models have primarily focused on local file contexts. However, these studies do not fully capture the complexity of real-world software development, which often requires the use of rapidly-evolving public libraries. To fill the gap, we introduce LibEvolutionEval, a detailed study requiring an understanding of library evolution to perform in-line code completion accurately. LibEvolutionEval provides a version-specific code-completion task comprised of eight libraries (torch, torchvision, scipy, pil, tqdm, pyyaml, matplotlib, and pandas) as they evolve over the year along with a detailed analysis of the evolution of two popular and well-maintained public libraries: PyTorch and Matplotlib. We evaluate popular public models and find that public library evolution significantly influences model performance. We explored mitigation methods by studying how retrieved version-specific library documentation and prompting can improve the model's capability in handling these fast-evolving packages, paving a promising future path in better handling fast-evolving libraries.

In the scope of the ROADMAP project, six interviews were conducted within the broiler sector including 3 producers’ organizations (PO), 1 PO president (poultry farmer), 1 hatchery and 1 retailer. The purpose of these interviews was to understand how the aforementioned private standards work and what their roles are in the reduction of antimicrobial (AM) use.

description: As star-forming galaxies approach or exceed a stellar mass around $10^{11} M_\odot$, they are increasingly likely to be quenched in a process generically called mass quenching. Central galaxies, which are quenched via mass rather than environmental quenching, therefore accumulate in a peak around this characteristic mass. While a number of processes may influence the shape of the quenched central stellar mass function (QCSMF), we find that its low-mass slope is strongly affected by the scatter in the mass of black holes at a given stellar mass, with higher scatters in the black hole population yielding shallower slopes. Higher scatters in the black hole mass spread out the stellar mass range over which quenching occurs, leading to shallower slopes. This trend holds across a variety of semi-analytic models and cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. A comparison with observations provides indirect evidence for a large scatter in black hole mass $σ(\log_{10}(M_\mathrm{BH})|M_*) \gtrsim 0.5$ dex, and a joint constraint on AGN feedback physics and the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes.

description: This work explores the intersection of quantum mechanics and curved spacetime by employing the Wigner formalism to investigate quantum systems in the vicinity of black holes. Specifically, we study the quantum dynamics of a probe particle bound to a Schwarzschild black hole using a phase-space representation of quantum mechanics. The analysis begins with a review of the covariant Wigner function in curved spacetime, highlighting its application to spherically symmetric, uncharged black holes. We then derive an effective potential from the Schwarzschild metric, which defines the Hamiltonian for the electron. Relativistic corrections are treated perturbatively to estimate energy levels and associated Wigner functions for the bound state. Additionally, we compare the results obtained through the Schrodinger equation with those derived directly using the symplectic formalism, demonstrating the consistency and versatility of the phase-space approach. The study sheds light on quantum behavior near black holes and suggests new avenues for combining quantum kinetic theory with relativistic gravitational settings.

description: The generation of Synthetic Computed Tomography (sCT) images has become a pivotal methodology in modern clinical practice, particularly in the context of Radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning. The use of sCT enables the calculation of doses, pushing towards Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy treatments. Deep learning methods for MRI-to-sCT have shown promising results, but their reliance on single-centre training dataset limits generalisation capabilities to diverse clinical settings. Moreover, creating centralised multi-centre datasets may pose privacy concerns. To address the aforementioned issues, we introduced FedSynthCT-Brain, an approach based on the Federated Learning (FL) paradigm for MRI-to-sCT in brain imaging. This is among the first applications of FL for MRI-to-sCT, employing a cross-silo horizontal FL approach that allows multiple centres to collaboratively train a U-Net-based deep learning model. We validated our method using real multicentre data from four European and American centres, simulating heterogeneous scanner types and acquisition modalities, and tested its performance on an independent dataset from a centre outside the federation. In the case of the unseen centre, the federated model achieved a median Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of $102.0$ HU across 23 patients, with an interquartile range of $96.7-110.5$ HU. The median (interquartile range) for the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PNSR) were $0.89 (0.86-0.89)$ and $26.58 (25.52-27.42)$, respectively. The analysis of the results showed acceptable performances of the federated approach, thus highlighting the potential of FL to enhance MRI-to-sCT to improve generalisability and advancing safe and equitable clinical applications while fostering collaboration and preserving data privacy.

description: As distribution systems accommodate higher photovoltaic (PV) penetration, traditional voltage controls face increasing challenges in regulating voltages to within voltage tolerance limits. The voltage issues in the quasi-static steady-state include short-and long-duration RMS variations, voltage unbalance, and under/over voltage violation. This research focuses on developing controls and improving the existing voltage regulation techniques to address the voltage issues so that systems can operate safely and efficiently in the presence of high PV penetration. A novel voltage smoothing algorithm utilizing energy storages (ESs) for voltage short-and long-duration RMS variations mitigation is proposed. The algorithm determines the optimal active and reactive power dispatch for achieving the highest voltage smoothing effectiveness while considering battery daily time of use and life. As a result, smaller energy storages can be utilized for voltage smoothing while their lifetimes are not degraded. To mitigate the over/under voltage violation at the load connection points, an iterative placement algorithm for determining the effective grid-edge voltage regulating device deployment locations is proposed. The other aspect of research focuses on developing interphase power flow (IPPF) control for achieving desirable power flow in each phase and between phases, thereby improving system operation and flexibility. An interphase power flow (IPPF) model is proposed for capturing the power flow at the two-connected terminals of single-phase elements. Based on the IPPF model, necessary dynamic and static controls were developed for enabling single-phase elements to achieve a desirable IPPF injection. Finally, an optimal IPPF control was proposed for coordinating resources in microgrids to achieve an optimized power flow. Generation from PVs can be directed to supply loads or charge ESs regardless of their phase connections. The optimal dispatches also ensure that system voltages are appropriate with no over/under voltage violation and low level of voltage unbalance.

description: This article examines the impact of augmented reality (AR) visualizations on users’ sense of physical presence, knowledge gain, and perceptions of the authenticity of journalistic visuals. In a mixed experimental design, 79 participants were randomly assigned to view three The New York Times articles on a mobile phone featuring one of three viewing modalities: (1) AR visualizations, (2) interactive (non-AR) visualizations, or (3) non-interactive, static visualizations. AR induced a greater sense of physical presence compared to the other modalities. The findings suggest that immersive properties of AR can contribute to journalism’s goal of engaging the audience. However, AR was not a superior medium for informing the participants, and the viewing modality did not have an effect on the perceived authenticity of the visuals. The findings indicate a need for more efficient ways to relay information through journalistic AR visualizations while keeping the user engaged in an immersive experience.

description: Nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation in bilayer ferromagnetic systems has attracted significant attention due to its potential to precisely quantify material parameters as well as for applications in magnonic logic and information processing. In this study we investigate the nonreciprocity of spin-wave dispersions in heterostructures consisting of two distinct ferromagnetic materials, focusing on the influence of saturation magnetization and thickness of the magnetic layers. We exploit Brillouin light scattering to confirm numerical calculations which are conducted with the finite element software TETRAX. An extensive numerical analysis reveals that the nonreciprocal behavior is strongly influenced by the changing material parameters, with asymmetry in the spin-wave propagation direction reaching several GHz under optimized conditions. Our findings demonstrate that tailoring the bilayer composition enables precise control over nonreciprocity, providing a pathway for engineering efficient unidirectional spin-wave devices. These results offer a deeper understanding of hybrid ferromagnetic systems and open avenues for designing advanced magnonic circuits.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides and related layered materials in their monolayer and a few layers thicknesses regime provide a promising optoelectronic platform for exploring the excitonic- and many-body physics. Strain engineering has emerged as a potent technique for tuning the excitonic properties favorable for exciton-based devices. We have investigated the effects of nanoparticle-induced local strain on the optical properties of exciton, $X^0$, and trion, $X^\text{-}$, in monolayer WS$_2$. Biaxial tensile strain up to 2.0% was quantified and verified by monitoring the changes in three prominent Raman modes of WS$_2$: E${^1_{2g}}$($Γ$), A$_{1g}$, and 2LA(M). We obtained a remarkable increase of 34 meV in $X^\text{-}$ binding energy with an average tuning rate of 17.5 $\pm$ 2.5 meV/% strain across all the samples irrespective of the surrounding dielectric environment of monolayer WS$_2$ and the sample preparation conditions. At the highest tensile strain of $\approx$2%, we have achieved the largest binding energy $\approx$100 meV for $X^\text{-}$, leading to its enhanced emission intensity and thermal stability. By investigating strain-induced linewidth broadening and deformation potentials of both $X^0$ and $X^\text{-}$ emission, we elucidate that the increase in $X^\text{-}$ binding energy is due to strain-enhanced electron-phonon coupling. This work holds relevance for future $X^\text{-}$-based nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems and devices.

description: Obstructed atomic insulator is recently proposed as an unconventional material, in which electric charge centers localized at sites away from the atoms. A half-filling surface state would emerge at specific interfaces cutting through these charge centers and avoid intersecting any atoms. In this article, we utilized angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to study one of the obstructed atomic insulator candidates, NiP$_2$. A floating surface state with large effective mass that is isolated from all bulk states is resolved on the (100) cleavage plane, distinct from previously reported surface states in obstructed atomic insulators that are merged into bulk bands. Density functional theory calculation results elucidate that this floating surface state is originated from the obstructed Wannier charge centers, albeit underwent surface reconstruction that splits the half-filled obstructed surface state. Our findings not only shed lights on the spectroscopy study of obstructed atomic insulators and obstructed surface states, but also provide possible route for development of new catalysts.
