description: Quantum systems, in general, output data that cannot be simulated efficiently by a classical computer, and hence is useful for solving certain mathematical problems and simulating quantum many-body systems. This also implies, unfortunately, that verification of the output of the quantum systems is not so trivial, since predicting the output is exponentially hard. As another problem, quantum system is very delicate for noise and thus needs error correction. Here we propose a framework for verification of the output of fault-tolerant quantum computation in the measurement-based model. Contrast to existing analyses on fault-tolerance, we do not assume any noise model on the resource state, but an arbitrary resource state is tested by using only single-qubit measurements to verify whether the output of measurement-based quantum computation on it is correct or not. The overhead for verification including classical processing is linear in the size of quantum computation. Since full characterization of quantum noise is exponentially hard for large-scale quantum computing systems, our framework provides an efficient way of practical verification of experimental quantum error correction. Moreover, the proposed verification scheme is also compatible to measurement-only blind quantum computation, where a client can accept the delegated quantum computation even when a quantum sever makes deviation, as long as the output is correct.

description: We consider an amplify-and-forward relay network composed of a source, two relays, and a destination. In this network, the two relays are untrusted in the sense that they may perform Byzantine attacks by forwarding altered symbols to the destination. Note that every symbol received by the destination may be altered, and hence no clean reference observation is available to the destination. For this network, we identify a large family of Byzantine attacks that can be detected in the physical layer. We further investigate how the channel conditions impact the detection against this family of attacks. In particular, we prove that all Byzantine attacks in this family can be detected with asymptotically small miss detection and false alarm probabilities by using a sufficiently large number of channel observations \emph{if and only if} the network satisfies a non-manipulability condition. No pre-shared secret or secret transmission is needed for the detection of these attacks, demonstrating the value of this physical-layer security technique for counteracting Byzantine attacks.

description: Dose escalation for skull-based malignancies often presents risks to critical adjacent neural structures, including the brainstem. We report the incidence of brainstem toxicity following fractionated high-dose conformal proton therapy and associated dosimetric parameters. We performed a single-institution review of patients with skull-base chordoma or chondrosarcoma who were treated with proton therapy between February 2007 and January 2020 on a prospective outcomes-tracking protocol. The primary endpoint was grade ≥2 brainstem toxicity. No patients received concurrent chemotherapy, and brainstem toxicity was censored for analysis if it coincided with local disease progression. We analyzed 163 patients who received a minimum of 45 GyRBE to 0.03 cm3 of the brainstem. Patients were treated to a median total dose of 73.8 (range 64.5–74.4) GyRBE at 1.8 GyRBE per fraction with 17 patients undergoing twice-daily treatment at 1.2 GyRBE per fraction. With a median follow-up of 4 years, the 5-year cumulative incidence of grade ≥2 brainstem injury was 1.3% (95% CI 0.25–4.3%). There was one grade 2, one grade 3, and no grade 4 or 5 events, with all patients recovering function with medical management. In delivering curative-intent radiotherapy for skull-base chordoma and chondrosarcoma in adults, small volumes of the brainstem can safely receive at least 64 GyRBE with minimal risk of serious brainstem injury.

description: Second primary cancer (SPC), defined as a metachronous solid cancer resulting from neither a recurrence of the primary cancer nor a metastasis, is a leading long-term cause of death for survivors of primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study examined the risk of SPC following treatment of primary OSCC. This semi-national, population-based, retrospective study included all patients with primary OSCC treated with curative intent in Eastern Denmark in 2000–2014. The presence of SPC was confirmed from medical records and the Danish Pathology Data Bank. The rate of SPC was compared to the occurrence of any cancer in the Eastern Danish population using data from the Danish Cancer Registry. A total of 936 patients with primary OSSC were enrolled. Of these, 219 patients (23%) were diagnosed with SPC during the follow-up (median 8.9 years, IQR: 5.4–12.6 years). The rate of SPC was four times higher than the occurrence of any cancer among the Eastern Danish population i.e., with a standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 4.13 (95%CI: 3.55–4.80). SPCs were most frequently found in head and neck region (n = 97, SIR = 43.6), lower respiratory organs (n = 38, SIR = 5.6) and gastrointestinal organs (n = 33, SIR = 3.2) with increased SPC rates in all locations. Among patients who developed SPC within the study period the median time from OSCC to the first SPC was 4.4 years (IQR: 2.5–6.2). Significant associations were found between both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption after treatment of OSCC and the risk of SPC. A noteworthy increased rate of SPC following treatment of primary OSCC was found, especially in the head and neck region and in the lungs. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this increased risk.
The effect of cooling on particle trajectories and acceleration in relativistic magnetic reconnection

description: The maximum synchrotron burnoff limit of 160 MeV represents a fundamental limit to radiation resulting from electromagnetic particle acceleration in one-zone ideal plasmas. In magnetic reconnection, however, particle acceleration and radiation are decoupled because the electric field is larger than the magnetic field in the diffusion region. We carry out two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to determine the extent to which magnetic reconnection can produce synchrotron radiation above the burnoff limit. We use the test particle comparison (TPC) method to isolate the effects of cooling by comparing the trajectories and acceleration efficiencies of test particles incident on such a reconnection region with and without cooling them. We find that the cooled and uncooled particle trajectories are typically similar during acceleration in the reconnection region, and derive an effective limit on particle acceleration that is inversely proportional to the average magnetic field experienced by the particle during acceleration. Using the calculated distribution of this average magnetic field as a function of uncooled final particle energy, we find analytically that cooling does not affect power-law particle energy spectra except at energies far above the synchrotron burnoff limit. Finally, we compare fully cooled and uncooled simulations of reconnection, confirming that the synchrotron burnoff limit does not produce a cutoff in the particle energy spectrum. Our results indicate that the TPC method accurately predicts the effects of cooling on particle acceleration in relativistic reconnection, and that even far above the burnoff limit, the synchrotron energy of radiation produced in reconnection is not limited by cooling.

description: Thermodynamic RAM (kT-RAM) is a neuromemristive co-processor design based on the theory of AHaH Computing and implemented via CMOS and memristors. The co-processor is a 2-D array of differential memristor pairs (synapses) that can be selectively coupled together (neurons) via the digital bit addressing of the underlying CMOS RAM circuitry. The chip is designed to plug into existing digital computers and be interacted with via a simple instruction set. Anti-Hebbian and Hebbian (AHaH) computing forms the theoretical framework from which a nature-inspired type of computing architecture is built where, unlike von Neumann architectures, memory and processor are physically combined for synaptic operations. Through exploitation of AHaH attractor states, memristor-based circuits converge to attractor basins that represents machine learning solutions such as unsupervised feature learning, supervised classification and anomaly detection. Because kT-RAM eliminates the need to shuttle bits back and forth between memory and processor and can operate at very low voltage levels, it can significantly surpass CPU, GPU, and FPGA performance for synaptic integration and learning operations. Here, we present a memristor technology developed for use in kT-RAM, in particular bi-directional incremental adaptation of conductance via short low-voltage 1.0 V, 1.0 microsecond pulses.

description: In this paper we present a generalized analytical solution to the generalized state equations of coupled second-order non-autonomous circuit systems. The analytical solutions thus obtained are used to study the synchronization dynamics of two different types of circuit systems, differing only by their constituting nonlinear element. The synchronization dynamics of the coupled systems are studied through two-parameter bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits and time-series plots obtained from the explicit analytical solutions. The mechanism of synchronization is realized through the bifurcation of the eigenvalues as functions of the control parameter in each of the coupled piecewise linear regions of the drive and response systems. The stability of the synchronized state for coupled identical chaotic states are studeid through the {\emph{master stability function}}. Further, {\emph{conditional Lyapunov exponents}} and {\emph{Kaplan-Yorke dimension}} are obtained to confirm the synchronized states of both coupled identical and non-identical chaotic states. The synchronization dynamics of coupled chaotic systems studied through two-parameter bifurcation diagrams obtained from explicit analytical solutions is reported in the literature for the first time.

description: We consider a simple spin-membrane model for rippling in graphene. The model exhibits transitions from a flat but rippled membrane to a buckled one. At high temperature the transition is second order but it is first order at low temperature for appropriate strength of the spin-spin coupling. Driving the system across the first order phase transition in nonequilibrium conditions that mimic interaction of the graphene membrane with a STM tip explains recent experiments. In particular, we observe a reversible behavior for small values of the STM current and an irreversible transition from flat rippled membrane to rigid buckled membrane when the current surpasses a critical value. This work opens the possibility to test mechanical properties of graphene under different temperature and electrostatic conditions.

description: This paper presents a novel index in order to characterize error propagation in quantum circuits by separating the resultant mixed error state in two components: an isotropic component, that quantifies the lack of information, and a dis-alignment component, that represents the shift between the current state and the original pure quantum state. The Isotropic Triangle, a graphical representation that fits naturally with the proposed index, is also introduced. Finally, some examples with the analysis of well-known quantum algorithms degradation are given.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate phase IV efficacy, of the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab among an unselected and unbiased national cohort of recurrent/metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (rmHNSCC) patients. Inclusion criteria included histologically confirmed rmHNSCC and nivolumab as a second-line palliative treatment. Data were collected from patient files at the five Danish head and neck cancer centers and from the DAHANCA database. The iRECIST criteria were used for treatment evaluation. Endpoints were response rate (RR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS), calculated from the start of treatment to the date of event/censoring by the KM-method. Descriptive statistics were used to describe patients and treatment. Analyses were two-sided, with p < .05 considered significant. A total of 146 patients were identified in the period 2017–2020. They had a RR of 14%, median OS of 10.2 months [95% CI: 8.2–12.2] and median PFS of 3.1 months [95% CI: 2.3–4.2]. Patient age (≥ 70 years) or comorbidity did not significantly affect outcome. WHO performance status (PS) =1 was associated with an increased risk of death (HR: 2.1 [95% CI: 1.2–4.0], p = .02) and progression (HR: 1.9 [95% CI: 1.2–3.2], p = .01). Concomitant glucocorticoid-treatment during immunotherapy (≥ 50% of treatment time) appeared important for risk of death (HR: 6.4 [95% CI: 2.3–17.8], p < .001) and risk of progression (HR: 4.8 [95% CI: 1.8–12.5], p = .001). PD-L1 expression ≥ 20% was associated with a lowered risk of progression (HR: 0.5 [95% CI: 0.3–0.7], p = .001), but not lowered risk of death. In this unselected national cohort, outcome of second-line treatment reflects data from the registration studies. Furthermore, the results suggest that immunotherapy should be used with great care in treatment of rmHNSCC in patients with poor performance.

description: In the present work we explore the front- and back-side performance of a photocatalytic platform consisting of self-organized TiO2 nanotube layers formed by complete anodization of Ti metal films evaporated on quartz slides. The adhesion and light transmission of the tube layers on the quartz surfaces are optimized by a suitable anodization procedure. After their growth, the nanotube arrays were converted into crystalline structures and sputter-coated with co-catalytic Pt nanoparticles. The optically transparent quartz substrates enable the use of the Pt-decorated tube layers for photocatalytic H2 generation under either front- or back-side illumination configurations. The nanotube films on quartz are characterized in view of their physico-chemical properties, including their light transmission features measured using different light sources. The results show that the front-side illumination under optimized factors, i.e., the amount of loaded co-catalyst, yields a maximized photocatalytic performance in terms of H2 generation.

description: Our goal is to recognize material categories using images and geometry information. In many applications, such as construction management, coarse geometry information is available. We investigate how 3D geometry (surface normals, camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters) can be used with 2D features (texture and color) to improve material classification. We introduce a new dataset, GeoMat, which is the first to provide both image and geometry data in the form of: (i) training and testing patches that were extracted at different scales and perspectives from real world examples of each material category, and (ii) a large scale construction site scene that includes 160 images and over 800,000 hand labeled 3D points. Our results show that using 2D and 3D features both jointly and independently to model materials improves classification accuracy across multiple scales and viewing directions for both material patches and images of a large scale construction site scene.

description: We present an optical design of astronomic spectrograph based on a cascade of volume-phase holographic gratings. The cascade consists of three gratings. Each of them provides moderately high spectral resolution in a narrow range of 83 nm. Thus the spectrum image represents three lines covering region 430-680 nm. Two versions of the scheme are described: a full-scale one with estimated resolving power of 5300-7900 and a small-sized one intended for creation of a lab prototype, which provides the resolving power of 1500-3000. Diffraction efficiency modeling confirms that the system throughput can reach 75 %, while stray light caused by the gratings crosstalk is negligible. We also propose a design of image slicer and focal reducer allowing to couple the instrument with the 6-m telescope. Finally, we present concept of the opto-mechanical design.

Christian Jollie Smith: a life

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: One of the first women to be admitted to practice as a lawyer in Australia, Christian Jollie Smith was also one of the founding members of the Communist Party of Australia. Following a short period of close association with the Party, she established and ran her own legal practice in Sydney for some thirty-five years from the mid 1920s. During this time she established a reputation for defending the unemployed, freedom of speech, and the Communist Party. Yet more than forty years after her death she has been largely forgotten. -- Both the early history of the Communist Party of Australia and the history of the legal profession in Australia have been inclined to overlook the contribution of women. As both a Communist and a lawyer, Christian Jollie Smith was something of a paradox in her time which in itself makes her interesting. A biography is also warranted because Smith's life personifies the struggle for autonomy, independence and recognition which many educated women experienced in the early to mid twentieth century. Smith challenged the vigilant respectability of her times by breaking free from the conventional life that was expected of the unmarried daughter of a Presbyterian minister, moving from Melbourne to Sydney to live with a married man. Her political trajectory from strict Presbyterianism to the equally strict secular ideology, Communism, while unusual for a woman, was not unlike the path taken by many men who were prominent in the radical labour movement. Yet, while Smith selflessly served the Communist Party of Australia in its early years to the detriment of her health, her contribution is rarely recognised by Party historians. Although she initially had little success in the legal profession in Melbourne, Smith resumed practising the law in Sydney, successfully demonstrating that a woman could forge an independent career at a time when few women did so but which today is taken for granted. -- This thesis contributes to women's history, labour history and legal history by bringing the three fields together in the study of the life and work of a woman who was both a radical and a professional. In so doing it presents further evidence to challenge the traditional view that Australian radicalism was the domain of working-class men and provides a fuller understanding of the early twentieth century Australian left.

description: The spin-1/2 Ising octahedron and dodecahedron with a unique antiferromagnetic interaction display an outstanding magnetization jump at zero magnetic field, which consequently leads to a giant magnetocaloric effect during the adiabatic demagnetization. In the present work we report temperature dependences of two basic magnetocaloric response functions: the isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic change of temperature. It is shown that the Ising octahedron and dodecahedron generally exhibit a large negative isothermal entropy change upon increasing of the magnetic field, which serves in evidence of their cooling performance.

description: Conformal field theory (CFT) in two dimensions provide a rich source of subfactors. The fact that there are so many subfactors coming from CFT have led people to conjecture that perhaps all finite depth subfactors are related to CFT. In this paper we examine classes of subfactors from known CFT. In particular we identify the so called $3^{\Z_2\times \Z_2}$ subfactor with an intermediate subfactor from conformal inclusion, and construct new subfactors from recent work on holomorphic CFT with central charge $24$.

description: In specific kinematics, hard exclusive amplitudes may be factorized into a short distance dominated part computable in a perturbative way on the one hand, and universal, confinement related hadronic matrix elements on the other hand. The extension of this description to processes such as backward meson electroproduction and forward meson production in antiproton-nucleon scattering leads to define new hadronic matrix elements of three quark operators on the light cone, the nucleon-to-meson transition distribution amplitudes, which shed a new light on the nucleon structure.

description: Broad relativistic iron lines from neutron star X-ray binaries are important probes of the inner accretion disk. The X-ray reflection features can be weakened due to strong magnetic fields or very low iron abundances such as is possible in X-ray binaries with low mass, first generation stars as companions. Here we investigate the reality of the broad iron line detected earlier from the neutron star low mass X-ray binary 4U~1820--30 with a degenerate helium dwarf companion. We perform a comprehensive, systematic broadband spectral study of the atoll source using \suzaku{} and simultaneous \nustar{} \& \swift{} observations. We have used different continuum models involving accretion disk emission, thermal blackbody and thermal Comptonization of either disk or blackbody photons. The \suzaku{} data show positive and negative residuals in the region of iron K band. These features are well described by two absorption edges at $7.67\pm0.14\kev$ and $6.93\pm0.07\kev$ or partial covering photoionized absorption or by blurred reflection. Though, the simultaneous \swift{} and \nustar{} data do not clearly reveal the emission or absorption features, the data are consistent with the presence of either absorption or emission features. Thus, the absorption based models provide an alternative to the broad iron line or reflection model. The absorption features may arise in winds from the inner accretion disk. The broadband spectra appear to disfavour continuum models in which the blackbody emission from the neutron star surface provides the seed photons for thermal Comptonization. Our results suggest emission from a thin accretion disk ($kT_{disk} \sim 1\kev$), Comptonization of disk photons in a boundary layer most likely covering a large fraction of the neutron star surface and innermost parts of the accretion disk, and blackbody emission ($kT_{bb} \sim 2\kev$) from the polar regions.
