description: \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} is a highly pixelated direct charge sensor that contains a 72${\times}$72 pixel array of 83$μ$m pitch size. The key feature of \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} is that it can directly collect charges via metal nodes of each pixel to form two-dimensional images of charge cloud distributions. \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} was proved to measure charged particles without amplification at room temperature. To measure its performance at cryogenic temperature, a \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} sensor is embedded into a liquid nitrogen dewar. The results presented in this paper show that \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} can also operate well at this low temperature with a noise (ENC) of 12 e$^-$ lower than that at room temperature (13 e$^-$). From the noise perspective, \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} is a promising candidate for the next generation readout of liquid argon and xenon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) used in experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter.

description: In the debate concerning the impact of bilingualism on working memory and executive function development, only a few studies considered children’s socioeconomic status (SES). This study aims at (i) investigating the difference between monolingual and bilingual preschoolers on SES in the Italian context; (ii) confirming the relationship between SES and cognitive measures and in-vestigating the role of diverse SES indices on different cognitive measures; (iii) verifying the dif-ference between monolinguals and bilinguals on working memory and executive function tasks and (iv) most important, examining the difference on cognitive task performance between mono-lingual and bilingual children controlling for SES. A large battery of working memory and exec-utive function tasks was administered to 91 typically developing children (M age= 64 months; 44 monolinguals and 47 bilinguals), while parents filled in a form including SES information. The results showed that the monolingual group showed higher SES than the bilingual group, that SES was positively related to cognitive task performance, and that diverse SES indices account dif-ferently for performance on different cognitive tasks; the monolingual group outperformed the bi-lingual group on two of the six cognitive tasks administered. However, when performance of monolinguals and bilinguals was compared controlling for SES no significant difference emerged, most effect sizes were indeed negligible, and Bayesian ANCOVAs yielded strong evi-dence for the null hypothesis.

A New Hybrid Scheme for Simulations of Highly Collisional RF-Driven Plasmas

description: This work describes a new 1D hybrid approach for modeling atmospheric pressure discharges featuring complex chemistry. In this approach electrons are described fully kinetically using Particle-In-Cell/Monte-Carlo (PIC/MCC) scheme, whereas the heavy species are modeled within a fluid description. Validity of the popular drift-diffusion approximation is verified against a "full" fluid model accounting for the ion inertia and a fully kinetic PIC/MCC code for ions as well as electrons. The fluid models require knowledge of the momentum exchange frequency and dependence of the ion mobilities on the electric field when the ions are in equilibrium with the latter. To this end an auxiliary Monte-Carlo scheme is constructed. It is demonstrated that the drift-diffusion approximation can overestimate ion transport in simulations of RF-driven discharges with heavy ion species operated in the $γ$ mode at the atmospheric pressure or in all discharge simulations for lower pressures. This can lead to exaggerated plasma densities and incorrect profiles provided by the drift-diffusion models. Therefore, the hybrid code version featuring the full ion fluid model should be favored against the more popular drfit-diffusion model, noting that the suggested numerical scheme for the former model implies only a small additional computational cost.

description: Finding health-related content is not an easy task. People have to know what to search for, which medical terms to use, and where to find accurate information. This task becomes even harder when people such as immigrants wish to find information in their country of residence and do not speak the national language very well. In this paper, we present a new health information system that allows users to search for health information using natural language queries composed of multiple languages. We present the technical details of the system and outline the results of a preliminary user study to demonstrate the usability of the system.

Tuning the presence of dynamical phase transitions in a generalized $XY$ spin chain

description: We study an integrable spin chain with three spin interactions and the staggered field ($λ$) while the latter is quenched either slowly (in a linear fashion in time ($t$) as $t/τ$ where $t$ goes from a large negative value to a large positive value and $τ$ is the inverse rate of quenching) or suddenly. In the process, the system crosses quantum critical points and gapless phases. We address the question whether there exist non-analyticities (known as dynamical phase transitions (DPTs)) in the subsequent real time evolution of the state (reached following the quench) governed by the final time-independent Hamiltonian. In the case of sufficiently slow quenching (when $τ$ exceeds a critical value $τ_1$), we show that DPTs, of the form similar to those occurring for quenching across an isolated critical point, can occur even when the system is slowly driven across more than one critical point and gapless phases. More interestingly, in the anisotropic situation we show that DPTs can completely disappear for some values of the anisotropy term ($γ$) and $τ$, thereby establishing the existence of boundaries in the $(γ-τ)$ plane between the DPT and no-DPT regions in both isotropic and anisotropic cases. Our study therefore leads to a unique situation when DPTs may not occur even when an integrable model is slowly ramped across a QCP. On the other hand, considering sudden quenches from an initial value $λ_i$ to a final value $λ_f$, we show that the condition for the presence of DPTs is governed by relations involving $λ_i$, $λ_f$ and $γ$ and the spin chain must be swept across $λ=0$ for DPTs to occur.

description: We implement a proper-time UV regularisation of the Nambu-Goto string, introducing an independent metric tensor and the corresponding Lagrange multiplier, and treating them in the mean-field approximation justified for long strings and/or when the dimensions of space-time is large. We compute the regularised determinant of the 2d Laplacian for the closed string winding around a compact dimension, obtaining in this way the effective action, whose minimisation determines the energy of the string ground state in the mean-field approximation. We discuss the existence of two scaling limits when the cutoff is taken to infinity. One scaling limit reproduces the results obtained by the hypercubic regularisation of the Nambu-Goto string as well as by the use of the dynamical triangulation regularisation of the Polyakov string. The other scaling limit reproduces the results obtained by canonical quantisation of the Nambu-Goto string.

description: The perovskite / silicon-heterojunction (SHJ) tandem solar cell can theoretically overcome the efficiencies of the single junction solar cells with experimental results not far behind. Here, we use optical simulations to analyze the potential of such currently feasible monolithic perovskite / SHJ tandem devices. We consider three different device designs in the optical simulations: planar device, device built on back-side textured Si wafer, and device with textured UV Nanoimprint Lithography light management foil. For each of these three designs, the current matching point is simulated to evaluate device efficiencies. While the device with back-side textured Si wafer causes light trapping and therefore enhanced photocurrent generation for longer wavelengths, the anti-reflection foils prove to be overall more efficient as the foil significantly reduces the reflection in almost full wavelength range.

description: We study the slow quenching dynamics (characterized by an inverse rate, $τ^{-1}$) of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor ferromagentic interactions across the quantum critical point (QCP) and analyze the Loschmidt overlap {measured using the subsequent temporal evolution of the final wave function (reached at the end of the quenching) with the final time-independent Hamiltonian}. Studying the Fisher zeros of the corresponding generalized "partition function", we probe non-analyticities manifested in the rate function of the return probability known as dynamical phase transitions (DPTs). In contrast to the sudden quenching case, we show that DPTs survive {in the subsequent temporal evolution following the quenching across two critical points of the model for a sufficiently slow rate; furthermore, an interesting "lobe" structure of Fisher zeros emerge.} We have also made a connection to topological aspects studying the dynamical topological order parameter ($ν_D(t)$), as a function of time ($t$) {measured from the instant when the quenching is complete. Remarkably, the time evolution of $ν_D(t)$ exhibits drastically different behavior following quenches across a single QCP and two QCPs. } {In the former case, $ν_D (t)$ increases step-wise by unity at every DPT (i.e., $Δν_D =1$). In the latter case, on the other hand, $ν_D(t)$ essentially oscillates between 0 and 1 (i.e., successive DPTs occur with $Δν_D =1$ and $Δν_D =-1$, respectively), except for instants where it shows a sudden jump by a factor of unity when two successive DPTs carry a topological charge of same sign.

description: Data consumption has changed significantly in the last 10 years. The digital revolution and the Internet has brought an abundance of information to users. Recommender systems are a popular means of finding content that is both relevant and personalized. However, today's users require better recommender systems, able of producing continuous data feeds keeping up with their instantaneous and mobile needs. The CrowdRec project addresses this demand by providing context-aware, resource-combining, socially-informed, interactive and scalable recommendations. The key insight of CrowdRec is that, in order to achieve the dense, high-quality, timely information required for such systems, it is necessary to move from passive user data collection, to more active techniques fostering user engagement. For this purpose, CrowdRec activates the crowd, soliciting input and feedback from the wider community.

description: This report is part of the project “Nordic-Baltic Partnership with Passenger Ferry Companies to Encounter Trafficking in Human Beings on the Baltic Sea”. The project, launched in October 2015, is coordinated by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), and is supported financially by the Nordic Council of Ministers and its programme against trafficking in human beings 2015-2018. The aim of the project is to advance the prevention of trafficking in human beings and to establish a dialogue with ferry companies in the Baltic Sea region with the aim of strengthening cooperation to counteract human trafficking. The findings of this research will be used to develop a set of tools for targeted training for ferry companies operating in the Baltic Sea to support them in increasing their staff awareness of trafficking in human beings and to enhance their preparedness to address trafficking in human beings to the extent possible.

description: We consider the braiding of Kramers pairs of Majorana bound states. We derive the most general transformation on the many-body ground state that is applied as the result of such a braiding process. The result is derived in the context of a simple toy model, but we will show that it has the most general form that is compatible with local and global conservation of electron parity. In accordance with earlier work the resulting transformation turns out to be path dependent, which shows that Kramers pairs of Majorana bound states cannot be used for topological quantum computation. We also discuss under which conditions the result is path independent and corresponds to two independent exchanges of pairs of Majorana bound states.

An attractor is a compact set which remains invariant for such a family. Thus, we consider spaces homeomorphic to attractors of either IFS or weak IFS, as well, which we will refer to as Banach and topological fractals, respectively. We present a collection of counterexamples in order to show that all the presented definitions are essential, though they are not equivalent in general.

description: The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of how the three Baltic countries cover the costs of specialized assistance to victims of trafficking. The report maps the costs of specialized assistance to victims of trafficking. Since most of the assisted victims in the Baltic countries are nationals rather than migrants, this report will have less focus on specific support and assistance given to victims of migrant background. In the three countries, victim assistance is provided by selected NGOs as appointed service providers. In the absence of similar baseline studies on the costs of assisting victims of trafficking, we have developed a pilot methodology and a simple data collection questionnaire for estimating the concrete and tangible costs occurred. The less visible, or indirect costs that accumulate over a longer period are discussed on a more theoretical level. This report includes, first, a description of the methodology, and secondly, presents the results of the piloting of the method and the questionnaire. The results include case examples form each country, outlining the variety of services used to rehabilitate victims of trafficking, and possible challenges related to victim assistance. The data collection has relied on the cooperation of local NGOs working with assisting victims of trafficking, as well as State and municipal actors involved in financing and coordinating such assistance to victims. The methodological tools and findings developed in this project are meant to be utilized by municipalities and partners in the STROM II project, as well as national coordination structures in the Baltic countries and the Baltic Sea Region. They, however, are also useful beyond the project as a tool to raise awareness on the impact of trafficking on both individuals and society. The methodology and data collection tools in this report can be adapted to replicate the study also in other countries and settings. The cost calculation method highlights the different ways NGOs help victims, and how the collaboration with the State, municipalities and other actors that are involved in prevention and assisting victims of trafficking could be improved. The report also shows the complex rehabilitation needs that victims of trafficking face, and in doing so, helps to increase the understanding of the specific cost-related challenges NGOs and other actors face when assisting victims of trafficking.

description: Extreme deconvolution (XD) of broad-band photometric data can both separate stars from quasars and generate probability density functions for quasar redshifts, while incorporating flux uncertainties and missing data. Mid-infrared photometric colors are now widely used to identify hot dust intrinsic to quasars, and the release of all-sky WISE data has led to a dramatic increase in the number of IR-selected quasars. Using forced-photometry on public WISE data at the locations of SDSS point sources, we incorporate this all-sky data into the training of the XDQSOz models originally developed to select quasars from optical photometry. The combination of WISE and SDSS information is far more powerful than SDSS alone, particularly at $z>2$. The use of SDSS$+$WISE photometry is comparable to the use of SDSS$+$ultraviolet$+$near-IR data. We release a new public catalogue of 5,537,436 (total; 3,874,639 weighted by probability) potential quasars with probability $P_{\textrm{QSO}} > 0.2$. The catalogue includes redshift probabilities for all objects. We also release an updated version of the publicly available set of codes to calculate quasar and redshift probabilities for various combinations of data. Finally, we demonstrate that this method of selecting quasars using WISE data is both more complete and efficient than simple WISE color-cuts, especially at high redshift. Our fits verify that above $z \sim 3$ WISE colors become bluer than the standard cuts applied to select quasars. Currently, the analysis is limited to quasars with optical counterparts, and thus cannot be used to find highly obscured quasars that WISE color-cuts identify in significant numbers.

Background: The Wnt signaling pathway is uniquely metazoan and used in many processes during development, including the formation of polarity and body axes. In sponges, one of the earliest diverging animal groups, Wnt pathway genes have diverse expression patterns in different groups including along the anterior-posterior axis of two sponge larvae, and in the osculum and ostia of others. We studied the function of Wnt signaling and body polarity formation through expression, knockdown, and larval manipulation in several freshwater sponge species.

Results: Sponge Wnts fall into sponge-specific and sponge-class specific subfamilies of Wnt proteins. Notably Wnt genes were not found in transcriptomes of the glass sponge Aphrocallistes vastus. Wnt and its signaling genes were expressed in archaeocytes of the mesohyl throughout developing freshwater sponges. Osculum formation was enhanced by GSK3 knockdown, and Wnt antagonists inhibited both osculum development and regeneration. Using dye tracking we found that the posterior poles of freshwater sponge larvae give rise to tissue that will form the osculum following metamorphosis.

Conclusions: Together the data indicate that while components of canonical Wnt signaling may be used in development and maintenance of osculum tissue, it is likely that Wnt signaling itself occurs between individual cells rather than whole tissues or structures in freshwater sponges.

description: We have found that the geometrically frustrated spin chain compound Ca3Co2O6 belonging to Ising like universality class with uniaxial anisotropy shows kinetic arrest of first order intermediate phase (IP) to ferrimagnetic (FIM) transition. In this system, dc magnetization measurements followed by different protocols suggest the coexistence of high temperature IP with equilibrium FIM phase in low temperature. Formation of metastable state due to hindered first order transition has also been probed through cooling and heating in unequal field (CHUF) protocol. Kinetically arrested high temperature IP appears to persist down to almost the spin freezing temperature in this system.

Superconvergence to freely infinitely divisible distributions

description: The phenomenon of superconvergence is proved for all freely infinitely divisible distributions. Precisely, suppose that the partial sums of a sequence of free identically distributed, infinitesimal random variables converge in distribution to a nondegenerate freely infinitely divisible law. Then the distribution of the sum becomes Lebesgue absolutely continuous with a continuous density in finite time, and this density can be approximated by that of the limit law uniformly, as well as in all $L^{p}$-norms for $p>1$, on the real line except possibly in the neighborhood of one point. Applications include the global superconvergence to freely stable laws and that to free compound Poisson laws over the whole real line.

description: We propose a class of photonic Floquet topological insulators based on staggered helical lattices and an efficient numerical method for calculating their Floquet bandstructure. The lattices support anomalous Floquet topological insulator phases with vanishing Chern number and tunable topological transitions. At the critical point of the topological transition, the bandstructure hosts a single unpaired Dirac cone, which yields a variety of unusual transport effects: a discrete analogue of conical diffraction, weak antilocalization not limited by intervalley scattering, and suppression of Anderson localization. Unlike previous designs, the effective gauge field strength can be controlled via lattice parameters such as the inter-helix distance, significantly reducing radiative losses and enabling applications such as switchable topological wave-guiding.
