description: We propose an efficiently measurable lower bound on quantum process fidelity of N-qubit controlled-Z gates. This bound is determined by average output state fidelities for N partially conjugate product bases. A distinct advantage of our approach is that only fidelities with product states need to be measured while keeping the total number of measurements much smaller than what is necessary for full quantum process tomography. As an application, we use this method to experimentally estimate quantum process fidelity F of a three-qubit linear optical quantum Toffoli gate and we find that F>=0.83. We also demonstrate the entangling capability of the gate by preparing GHZ-type three-qubit entangled states from input product states.

description: Pendidikan yang seimbang perlu merangkumi pendidikan Islam. Keperluan ini wujud bagi memartabatkan modal insan yang mapan dalam aspek kerohanian dan keperibadian seperti mana yang telah digariskan dalam al-Quran supaya generasi seterusnya mampu menjadi pemangkin terhadap kemajuan negara dan membuka peluang kepada semua lapisan masyarakat untuk terus mengembeling ilmu pengetahuan yang berteraskan pendidikan Islam agar selaras dengan peredaran zaman. Pendidikan Islam Sepanjang Hayat (PISH) adalah salah satu inisiatif Pembelajaran Sepanjang Hayat (PSH) yang menyediakan pelbagai pakej latihan termasuklah kemahiran berbentuk teknikal, vokasional dan keusahawan sebagai modus pembelajaran terhadap komuniti. Oleh sebab itulah, kajian ini telah dilakukan secara konseptual tentang pelaksanaan latihan program PISH yang telah dijalankan di kolej komuniti. Untuk memenuhi tuntutan tujuan kajian, kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kepustakaan yang terdiri daripada sumber sekunder seperti artikel jurnal, buku, tesis, akhbar dan sebagainya. Kajian ini mendapati, program PISH bukan sahaja telah melestarikan pemerkasaan budaya ilmu dalam kalangan masyarakat malah ia juga berjaya memperkukuhkan nilai keagamaan dan jati diri masyarakat melalui Pendidikan Islam secara berterusan. Justeru, penemuan kertas kerja ini diharapkan mampu menyumbangkan serba sedikit maklumat mengenai PISH kepada masyarakat Malaysia agar lebih produktif, berintektual, efisien dan berguna kepada negara kelak (Balanced education should include Islamic education. This need exists to uphold the sustainable human capital in terms of spirituality and personality as highlighted in the Quran so that the next generation can be a catalyst for national progress and open opportunities for all walks of life to continue to train knowledge based on Islamic education to be consistent with the passage of time. Lifelong Islamic Education (PISH) is one of the Lifelong Learning (PSH) initiatives that provides various training packages including technical, vocational and entrepreneurial skills as a mode of learning for the community. For this reason, this study has been done conceptually on the implementation of PISH training that have been conducted in community colleges. To meet the demands of the purpose of the study, this study was conducted using librarian methods consisting of secondary sources such as journal articles, books, theses, newspapers and so on. This study found that the PISH program has not only preserved the empowerment of knowledge culture among the community but it has also succeeded in strengthening the religious values and identity of the community through Islamic Education continuously. Therefore, the discovery of this paper is expected to be able to contribute a little bit of information about PISH to the Malaysian community to be more productive, intellectual, efficient and useful to the country in the future)

description: We obtain upper and lower bounds for running times of exponential time algorithms for the detection of weak backdoor sets of 3CNF formulas, considering various base classes. These results include (omitting polynomial factors), (i) a 4.54^k algorithm to detect whether there is a weak backdoor set of at most k variables into the class of Horn formulas; (ii) a 2.27^k algorithm to detect whether there is a weak backdoor set of at most k variables into the class of Krom formulas. These bounds improve an earlier known bound of 6^k. We also prove a 2^k lower bound for these problems, subject to the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis.

description: A $d$-dimensional, $n$th-order topological insulator or superconductor has localized eigenmodes at its $(d-n)$-dimensional boundaries ($n\leq d$). In this work, we apply periodic driving fields to two-dimensional superconductors, and obtain a wide variety of Floquet second-order topological superconducting (SOTSC) phases with many Majorana corner modes at both zero and $π$ quasienergies. Two distinct Floquet SOTSC phases are found to be separated by three possible kinds of transformations, i.e., a topological phase transition due to the closing/reopening of a bulk spectral gap, a topological phase transition due to the closing/reopening of an edge spectral gap, or an entirely different phase in which the bulk spectrum is gapless. Thanks to the strong interplay between driving and intrinsic energy scales of the system, all the found phases and transitions are highly controllable via tuning a single hopping parameter of the system. Our discovery not only enriches the possible forms of Floquet SOTSC phases, but also offers an efficient scheme to generate many coexisting Majorana zero and $π$ corner modes that may find applications in Floquet quantum computation.

description: A new method to measure the top-quark mass in high energetic hadron collisions is presented. We use theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-leading order accuracy in quantum chromodynamics to study the (normalized) differential distribution of the \ttbaronejet cross section with respect to its invariant mass $\sqrt{\sttj}$. The sensitivity of the method to the top-quark mass together with the impact of various theoretical and experimental uncertainties has been investigated and quantified. The new method allows for a complementary measurement of the top-quark mass parameter and has a high potential to become competitive in precision with respect to established approaches. Furthermore we emphasize that in the proposed method the mass parameter is uniquely defined through one-loop renormalization.

description: Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. are a leading cause of human gastrointestinal infections and are commonly transmitted via the consumption of contaminated meat. To limit the spread of Salmonella and other food-borne pathogens in the food chain, bacteriophage (phage) therapy could be used during rearing or pre-harvest stages of animal production. This study was conducted to determine if a phage cocktail delivered in feed is capable of reducing Salmonella colonization in experimentally challenged chickens and to determine the optimal phage dose. A total of 672 broilers were divided into six treatment groups T1 (no phage diet and unchallenged); T2 (phage diet 106 PFU/day); T3 (challenged group); T4 (phage diet 105 PFU/day and challenged); T5 (phage diet 106 PFU/day and challenged); and T6 (phage diet 107 PFU/day and challenged). The liquid phage cocktail was added to mash diet with ad libitum access available throughout the study. By day 42 (the concluding day of the study), no Salmonella was detected in faecal samples collected from group T4. Salmonella was isolated from a small number of pens in groups T5 (3/16) and T6 (2/16) at ∼4 × 102 CFU/g. In comparison, Salmonella was isolated from 7/16 pens in T3 at ∼3 × 104 CFU/g. Phage treatment at all three doses had a positive impact on growth performance in challenged birds with increased weight gains in comparison to challenged birds with no phage diet. We showed delivering phages via feed was effective at reducing Salmonella colonization in chickens and our study highlights phages offer a promising tool to target bacterial infections in poultry.

description: Early Hearing Detection and Intervention - Pediatric Audiology Links to Services (EHDI-PALS) is a web-based national directory of pediatric audiology facilities in the United States, created by an expert committee and launched in October 2012. In this study, data from 1,232 audiology facilities were analyzed to identify the number of registered facilities, types of diagnostic hearing tests offered, and the number of children under 5 years of age who were diagnosed with hearing loss. Some states had almost 15 times as many registered facilities as other states, suggesting that access to quality diagnostic hearing testing for infants and young children is still a major public health problem in many states. Almost all registered facilities (approximately 90%) have diagnostic test equipment to assess and diagnose children over 7 months of age. However, less than 70% of facilities had appropriate Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) equipment needed for children 6 months of age or younger. The data suggest that steps need to be taken to increase the number of registered pediatric audiology facilities in each state to efficiently deal with the large number of infants and young children being referred from newborn hearing screening programs.

description: We present macroscopic and neutron diffraction data on multiferroic lightly Co-doped Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$. Doping Co into the parent compound suppresses the sequence of four magnetic phase transitions and only two magnetically ordered phases, the paraelectric high temperature incommensurate (HTI) and ferroelectric low temperature incommensurate (LTI), can be observed. Interestingly, the LTI multiferroic phase with a spiral (cycloidal) magnetic structure is stabilized down to at least 1.8 K, which could be revealed by measurements of the electric polarization and confirmed by neutron diffraction on single crystal samples. The extracted magnetic moments of the LTI phase contain besides the main exchange also fine components of the cycloid allowed by symmetry which result in a small amplitude variation of the magnetic moments along the cycloid propagation due to the site-dependent symmetry properties of the mixed representations. In the HTI phase a finite imaginary part of the spine magnetic moment could be deduced yielding a spin cycloid instead of a purely sinusoidal structure with an opposite spin chirality for different spine spin chains. The magnetic ordering of the cross-tie sites in both phases is different in comparison to the respective ones in the pure Ni compound. A wider temperature stability range of the HTI phase has been observed in comparison to Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ which can be explained by an additional single-ion easy-axis anisotropy due to Co-doping. The larger incommensurability of the Co-doped compounds yields a larger ratio between the competing next-nearest neighbour and nearest neighbour interaction, which is $J_2/J_1$=0.43 (0.47) for a doping level of 7% (10%) Co compared to 0.39 in the parent compound.

description: This article reports findings from a national needs assessment to ascertain the needs of families of young children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), and what supports, resources and opportunities Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs and EHDI-contracted Family-based Organizations (FBOs) were providing to families. Results were intended to guide the activities of a federally funded technical assistance center charged with promoting Family Leadership in Language & Learning for families of children who are DHH. There were 458 completed surveys by parents of children who were DHH between the ages of 0-6. Surveys were completed by 56 of the 59 EHDI Coordinators and by FBO staff representing 40 of the 59 EHDI Programs. Focus groups were conducted with parents, EHDI Coordinators, and FBO staff members. This article focuses on answering the question,What types of support did families receive or wish they had received when their child was diagnosed as DHH?Key findings were that: 1) families should be offered comprehensive information at different points in their child’s life; 2) families need coordinated, trusted support and resources; 3) families need support from other parents who share their lived experience; and 4) underserved families need additional support.

description: Two submm/mm sources in the Barnard 1b (B1-b) core, B1-bN and B1-bS, have been observed with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT). The 1.1 mm continuum map obtained with the SMA reveals that the two sources contain spatially compact components, suggesting that they harbor protostars. The N2D+ and N2H+ J=3-2 maps were obtained by combining the SMA and SMT data. The N2D+ map clearly shows two peaks at the continuum positions. The N2H+ map also peaks at the continuum positions, but is more dominated by the spatially extended component. The N2D+/N2H+ ratio was estimated to be ~ 0.2 at the positions of both B1-bN and B1-bS. The derived N2D+/N2H+ ratio is comparable to those of the prestellar cores in the late evolutionary stage and the class 0 protostars in the early evolutionary stage. Although B1-bN is bright in N2H+ and N2D+, this source was barely seen in H13CO+. This implies that the depletion of carbon-bearing molecules is significant in B1-bN. The chemical property suggests that B1-bN is in the earlier evolutionary stage as compared to B1-bS with the H13CO+ counterpart. The N2H+ and N2D+ lines show that the radial velocities of the two sources are different by ~ 0.9 km s-1. However, the velocity pattern along the line through B1-bN and B1-bS suggests that these two sources were not formed out of a single rotating cloud. It is likely that the B1-b core consists of two velocity components, each of which harbors a very young source.

description: We study elasticity-driven morphological transitions of soft spherical core shell structures in which the core can be treated as an isotropic elastic continuum and the surface or shell as a tensionless liquid layer, whose elastic response is dominated by bending. To generate the transitions, we consider the case where the surface area of the liquid layer is increased for a fixed amount of interior elastic material. We find that generically there is a critical excess surface area at which the isotropic sphere becomes unstable to buckling. At this point it adopts a lower symmetry wrinkled structure that can be described by a spherical harmonic deformation. We study the dependence of the buckled sphere and critical excess area of the transition on the elastic parameters and size of the system. We also relate our results to recent experiments on the wrinkling of gel-filled vesicles as their interior volume is reduced. The theory may have broader applications to a variety of related structures from the macroscopic to the microscopic, including the wrinkling of dried peas, raisins, as well as the cell nucleus.

description: Abstract
Introduction: Delayed diagnosis of pediatric hearing loss can cause delays in cognitive and social development. This study described the sociodemographic factors associated with delayed timing of a final hearing diagnosis after an abnormal newborn hearing screening (NBHS). Methods: Parent-infant dyads were recruited after being referred for further audiologic testing on an abnormal result from the NBHS. Results: Of the 53 participants, 55% (n=29) did not receive a final diagnosis by the recommended 3 months of age. Of those with a delayed diagnosis, 45% (n=13) had their first appointment within 3 months, but a delay was caused by an inconclusive or abnormal auditory brainstem response (ABR), middle ear pathology, or the presence of risk factors requiring additional testing. In a univariate analysis, older parental age (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: [0.82, 0.99]) and more total children in the household ([OR: 0.66, 95% CI: {0.18, 2.49}] for 1 child vs. 2 and [OR: 0.14, 95% CI: {0.03, 0.69}] for 1 children vs. 3 or more) were shown to were shown to significantly increase the odds of a delayed diagnosis, whereas younger infant age at first appointment (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: [0.92, 0.99]) was shown to significantly decrease the odds of a delayed diagnosis. In multivariate analyses, delayed diagnosis was also decreased by younger infant age at the initial appointment (OR=0.94, 95% CI: [0.90, 0.99]). Conclusions: Parental age, number of total children in the household, and timing of first appointment may predict delayed diagnosis. Because many patients with a delayed diagnosis attended an appointment within 3 months, further standardization of the process and targeted interventions for families could improve chances of achieving a diagnosis within the first appointment.

description: Children who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) are at-risk for language delays and associated developmental challenges that impact academic, social, and communication skills. Technology Assisted Language Intervention (TALI) is a novel approach that focuses on using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as an intervention for children who are DHH. Results from a recent pilot study suggested that TALI may be a viable approach for enhancing spoken language and communication. In this study, we examined the social validity of TALI using interviews and focus groups. We collected qualitative data from parents, caregivers, and professionals working with children who are DHH to gain their perspectives on the feasibility of TALI outside of formal therapy (e.g., school, home, community) and as a supplement to existing spoken and sign language interventions. Participants’ responses were documented through written and audio recordings, and qualitative analysis of focus groups was conducted by researchers in a consensus approach. Parents/caregivers reported that TALI was feasible to implement in home and therapy settings, while professionals suggested that TALI may enhance reading and writing curricula. Professionals also reported that implementing TALI may be challenging to incorporate into manual or total communication academic settings. Overall, results suggest that TALI is a promising, socially valid supplementary intervention for children who are DHH and communicate primarily through spoken language.

description: A notable percentage of children identified with hearing loss through newborn hearing screening have mild bilateral or unilateral hearing loss (MB/UHL). Caregivers’ appropriately strong emotions, fears, and personal struggles may inadvertently interfere with their engagement with audiologists and other professionals, as well as adherence to jointly determined intervention protocols. Researchers have shown variable outcomes for children with MB/UHL, counseling that includes addressing emotional and cognitive factors is essential for effectively engaging parents. The aim of this article is to describe counseling attributes and strategies that providers can incorporate when working with parents of children with MB/UHL to improve parent engagement in the intervention process. Implementation of Motivational Interviewing, and evidence-based counseling technique when working with parents of children who have MB/UHL can provide a supportive foundation to help parents and benefit children. When service providers are purposeful in their approach to communication, they can help parents accept the hearing loss, support them in making informed decisions about intervention, and overcome barriers. Ultimately, the objective of incorporating counseling methods in audiological sessions with parents is to improve greater adherence to jointly agreed upon intervention plans and improve quality of life.

description: VFTS102 has a projected rotational velocity ($>$500\,km s$^{-1}$) and would appear to be the fastest rotating O-type star. We show that its high rotational velocity could be understood within the framework of the binary merger. In the binary merger channel, the progenitor binary of VFTS102 would evolve into contact while two components are still on the main sequence, and then merge into a rapidly rotating single star. Employing Eggleton's stellar evolution code, we performed binary stellar evolution calculations and mapped out the initial parameters of the progenitor of VFTS102 in the orbital period-mass ratio ($P-q$) plane. We found that the progenitor binary of VFTS102 with initial mass ratio $q_0 \la 0.7$ should have an initial orbital period shorter than $3.76-4.25$\,days, while above this mass ratio it should have an initial orbital period shorter than $1.44-1.55$\,days. The progenitor of VFTS102 would evolve into contact during the rapid mass transfer phase or during the subsequent slow mass transfer phase, and might ultimately merge into a rapidly rotating massive star. In addition, we performed Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the binary merger channel. We estimated the fraction of binaries that would merge into single stars and the fraction of single stars that might be produced from the binary merger channel. It is found that about 8.7% of binaries would evolve into contact and merge into rapidly rotating single stars, and about 17.1% of single stars might be produced from the binary merger channel and should have similar properties to VFTS102. This suggests that the binary merger channel might be one of the main channels for the formation of rapidly rotating massive stars like VFTS102.

description: Рассматривается информационная значимость трех древнерусских позднесредневековых и ранних нововременных агиографических текстов для исследования средневековой ливонской и ганзейской истории. Легенда о новгородском посаднике Добрыне и жизнеописания святых Исидора и Серапиона являются имагинарными историями, восходящие к религиозной полемике против «латинян» и «немцев» XV—XVI веков. Вместе с тем, они указывают на то, что их русским авторам из числа духовенства были хорошо знакомы многие подробности ганзейской торговли и повседневной жизни в ливонских городах.

description: We have compiled photometric data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer All Sky Survey and other archival sources for the more than 2200 objects in the original McCook & Sion Catalog of Spectroscopically Identified White Dwarfs. We applied color-selection criteria to identify 28 targets whose infrared spectral energy distributions depart from the expectation for the white dwarf photosphere alone. Seven of these are previously known white dwarfs with circumstellar dust disks, five are known central stars of planetary nebulae, and six were excluded for being known binaries or having possible contamination of their infrared photometry. We fit white dwarf models to the spectral energy distributions of the remaining ten targets, and find seven new candidates with infrared excess suggesting the presence of a circumstellar dust disk. We compare the model dust disk properties for these new candidates with a comprehensive compilation of previously published parameters for known white dwarfs with dust disks. It is possible that the current census of white dwarfs with dust disks that produce an excess detectable at K-band and shorter wavelengths is close to complete for the entire sample of known WDs to the detection limits of existing near-IR all-sky surveys. The white dwarf dust disk candidates now being found using longer wavelength infrared data are drawn from a previously underrepresented region of parameter space, in which the dust disks are overall cooler, narrower in radial extent, and/or contain fewer emitting grains.

description: We have carried out and analyzed a set of axisymmetric MHD simulations of the evolution of a turbulent/diffusive accretion disc around an initially unmagnetized star. The disc is initially threaded by a weak magnetic field where the magnetic pressure is significantly less than the kinetic pressure in the disc. The viscosity and magnetic diffusivity are modelled by two "alpha" parameters, while the coronal region above the disc is treated using ideal MHD. The initial magnetic field is taken to consist of three poloidal field loops threading the disc. The motivation for this study is to understand the advection of disc matter and magnetic field by the turbulent/diffusive disc. At early times the innermost field loop twists and its field lines become open. The twisting of the opened field lines leads to the formation of both an inner collimated, magnetically-dominated jet, and at larger distances from the axis a matter dominated uncollimated wind. For later times, the strength of the magnetic field decreases owing to field reconnection and annihilation in the disc. For the early times, we have derived from the simulations both the matter accretion speed in the disc and the accretion speed of the magnetic field. We show that the derived matter accretion speed agrees approximately with the predictions of a model where the accretion speed is the sum of two terms, one due to the disc's viscosity (which gives a radial outflow of angular momentum in the disc), and a second due to the twisted magnetic field at the disc's surface (which gives a vertical outflow of angular momentum). For early times we find that the magnetic contribution is roughly twice the viscous contribution for the case where the alpha parameters are both equal to 0.1. At later times the magnetic contribution to the matter speed becomes small compared to the viscous contribution.

description: In this work, we introduce the hadronic loop contribution to explain the anomalous radiative transitions between $h_b(nP)$ and $η_b(mS)$, which was recently observed by the Belle Collaboration. Our calculation shows that the hadronic loop mechanism associated with these known decay mechanisms can explain why there exist anomalous radiative transitions between $h_b(nP)$ and $η_b(mS)$. This study deepens our understanding of the decay mechanism of higher bottomonium radiative decays.

description: Dusicyon H[amilton], Smith, 1839. Jardine's Natur. Libr., 9:248. TYPE SPECIES: Cam's antarcticus Bechstein, 1799 (= C. australis Kerr, 1792), by subsequent designation by Cabrera (1931). COMMENTS: There has been general disagreement as to generic classification of the South American canids, with most of the disagreement centered on the species australis, culpaeus, griseus, gymnocercus, microtis, sechurae, thous, and vetulus. Van Gelder (1978) proposed placing these taxa into Canis and giving only subgeneric recognition. The other extreme is best represented by Cabrera (1931) who recognized 5 genera for this group. Langguth (1969) first followed Cabrera's classification, but later (1975) decided to group most taxa into Canis, because he felt differences were not sufficient to warrant generic distinctions. The phenetic approaches of Clutton-Brock et al. (1976) and Wayne and O'Brien (1987) confirmed the close similarities of these taxa. Berta's (1987, 1988) phylogenetic hypothesis is followed here.

Quantum breathing dynamics of ultracold bosons in 1D-harmonic traps: Unraveling the pathway from few- to many-body systems

description: Following a `bottom-up approach' in understanding many-particle effects and dynamics we provide a systematic ab initio study of the dependence of the breathing dynamics of ultracold bosons in a 1D harmonic trap on the number of bosons ranging from few to many. To this end, we employ the Multi-Layer Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree method for Bosons (ML-MCTDHB) which has been developed very recently [S. Krönke, L. Cao, O. Vendrell and P. Schmelcher. {\it New J. Phys.} {\bf 15}, 063018 (2013)]. The beating behavior for two bosons is found numerically and consequently explained by an analytical approach. Drawing on this, we show how to compute the complete breathing mode spectrum in this case. We examine how the two-mode breathing behavior of two bosons evolves to the single-frequency behavior of the many-particle limit when adding more particles. In the limit of many particles, we numerically study the dependence of the breathing mode frequency on both the interaction strength as well as on the particle number. We provide an estimate for the parameter region in which Gross-Pitaevskii theory is well applicable.

Subjects: Chemistry

description: The hydrodynamic equations for a chemically reacting and internally relaxing fluid are obtained in a suitable form, and, are then used to find the dispertion and absorption of plane infinitesimal sound waves, Only the case of no viscosity, heat conduction, and diffusion is considered. It is shown that the interference effects between relaxation processes are not, in general, negligible compared to the relaxation effects themselves. A specific example, that of oxygen gas at 2500° K is considered giving an idea of the relative magnitudes of the several effects which are involved.
