description: The detection of a binary neutron star merger in 2017 through both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission opened a new era of multimessenger astronomy. The understanding of the magnetic field amplification triggered by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability during the merger is still a numerically unresolved problem because of the relevant small scales involved. One of the uncertainties comes from the simplifications usually assumed in the initial magnetic topology of merging neutron stars. We perform high-resolution, convergent large-eddy simulations of binary neutron star mergers, following the newly formed remnant for up to $30$ milliseconds. Here we specifically focus on the comparison between simulations with different initial magnetic configurations, going beyond the widespread-used aligned dipole confined within each star. The results obtained show that the initial topology is quickly forgotten, in a timescale of few miliseconds after the merger. Moreover, at the end of the simulations, the average intensity ($B\sim 10^{16}$ G) and the spectral distribution of magnetic energy over spatial scales barely depend on the initial configuration. This is expected due to the small-scale efficient dynamo involved, and thus it holds as long as: (i) the initial large-scale magnetic field is not unrealistically high (as often imposed in mergers studies); (ii) the turbulent instability is numerically (at least partially) resolved, so that the amplified magnetic energy is distributed across a wide range of scales and becomes orders-of-magnitude larger than the initial one.

description: Contemporary data are analyzed concerning the half-lives of the $^{229m}$Th isomer in neutral atoms and various ions. It is explicitly shown that the isomer lifetime may strongly depend on the plain environmental physical conditions like pressure and temperature. Calculation is performed on the united platform of interplay of traditional and subthreshold resonance conversion. General agreement with experiment is obtained in the cases of Th$^I$ and Th$^{III}$, a prediction is made concerning Th$^{IV}$. Disagreement with the experiment in the case of Th$^{II}$ may be a consequence of a random very sharp resonance with an electronic level. Account of the influence of the environment on the decay rate helps one to loose the resonance condition, which may lead to agreement with experiment. This will mean the first experimental observation of strong dependence of the nuclear decay rate on the environment.

description: Quantum heat transport devices are currently intensively studied in theory. Experimental realization of quantum heat transport devices is a challenging task. So far, they have been mostly investigated in experiments with ultra-cold atoms and single atomic traps. Experiments with superconducting qubits have also been carried out and heat transport and heat rectification has been studied in two terminal devices. The structures with three independent terminals offer additional opportunities for realization of heat transistors, heat switches, on-chip masers and even more complicated devices. Here we report an experimental realization of a three-terminal photonic heat transport device based on a superconducting quantum circuit. Its central element is a flux qubit made of a superconducting loop containing three Josephson junctions, which is connected to three resonators terminated by resistors. By heating one of the resistors and monitoring the temperatures of the other two, we determine photonic heat currents in the system and demonstrate their tunability by magnetic field at the level of 1 aW. We determine system parameters by performing microwave transmission measurements on a separate nominally identical sample and, in this way, demonstrate clear correlation between the level splitting of the qubit and the heat currents flowing through it. Our experiment is an important step in the development of on-chip quantum heat transport devices. On the one hand, such devices are of great interest for fundamental science because they allow one to investigate the effect of quantum interference and entanglement on the transport of heat. On the other hand, they also have great practical importance for the rapidly developing field of quantum computing, in which management of heat generated by qubits is a problem.

description: Thermohaline mixing is a favoured mechanism for the so-called "extra mixing" on the red giant branch of low-mass stars. The mixing is triggered by the molecular weight inversion created above the hydrogen shell during first dredge-up when helium-3 burns via 3He(3He,2p)4He. The standard 1D diffusive mixing scheme cannot simultaneously match carbon and lithium abundances to NGC 6397 red giants. We investigate two modifications to the standard scheme: (1) an advective two stream mixing algorithm, and (2) modifications to the standard 1D thermohaline mixing formalism. We cannot simultaneously match carbon and lithium abundances using our two stream mixing approach. However we develop a modified diffusive scheme with an explicit temperature dependence that can simultaneously fit carbon and lithium abundances to NGC 6397 stars. Our modified diffusive scheme induces mixing that is faster than the standard theory predicts in the hotter part of the thermohaline region and mixing that is slower in the cooler part. Our results infer that the extra mixing mechanism needs further investigation and more observations are required, particularly for stars in different clusters spanning a range in metallicity.

description: Magnetic field-induced giant modification of the probabilities of five transitions of $5S_{1/2}, F_g=2 \rightarrow 5P_{3/2}, F_e=4$ of $^{85}$Rb and three transitions of $5S_{1/2}, F_g=1 \rightarrow 5P_{3/2}, F_e=3$ of $^{87}$Rb forbidden by selection rules for zero magnetic field has been observed experimentally and described theoretically for the first time. For the case of excitation with circularly-polarized ($σ^+$) laser radiation, the probability of $F_g=2, ~m_F=-2 \rightarrow F_e=4, ~m_F=-1$ transition becomes the largest among the seventeen transitions of $^{85}$Rb $F_g=2 \rightarrow F_e=1,2,3,4$ group, and the probability of $F_g=1,~m_F=-1 \rightarrow F_e=3,~m_F=0$ transition becomes the largest among the nine transitions of $^{87}$Rb $F_g=1 \rightarrow F_e=0,1,2,3$ group, in a wide range of magnetic field 200 -- 1000 G. Complete frequency separation of individual Zeeman components was obtained by implementation of derivative selective reflection technique with a 300 nm-thick nanocell filled with Rb, allowing formation of narrow optical resonances. Possible applications are addressed. The theoretical model is perfectly consistent with the experimental results.

description: The nuclear transparency of the charged hadron produced in the inclusive $(e,e^\prime)$ reaction on the nucleus has been calculated using Glauber model for the nuclear reaction. The color transparency (CT) of the produced hadron and the short-range correlation (SRC) of the nucleons in the nucleus have been incorporated in the Glauber model to investigate their effects on the nuclear transparency of the hadron. The calculated nuclear transparencies for the proton and pion are compared with the data.

description: A new approach to three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry based on optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) is presented. By embedding OSL-active particles into a transparent silicone matrix (PDMS), the well-established dosimetric properties of an OSL material are exploited in a 3D-OSL dosimeter. By investigating prototype dosimeters in standard cuvettes in combination with small test samples for OSL readers, it is shown that a sufficient transparency of the 3D-OSL material can be combined with an OSL response giving an estimated >10.000 detected photons in 1 second per 1mm3 voxel of the dosimeter at a dose of 1 Gy. The dose distribution in the 3D-OSL dosimeters can be directly read out optically without the need for subsequent reconstruction by computational inversion algorithms. The dosimeters carry the advantages known from personal-dosimetry use of OSL: the dose distribution following irradiation can be stored with minimal fading for extended periods of time, and dosimeters are reusable as they can be reset, e.g. by an intense (bleaching) light field.

description: Refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons (IDPs) are involuntary migrants who are at greater risk for experiencing mental health problems. These problems can be due to traumatic experiences when they are forced to leave their homes, journey to a new country, and settle into that new country with different cultures to adapt to. Therefore, rates of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidality are higher among involuntary migrants than in the general population1. The potential treatments for these mental health disorders are varied, including types of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) such as Narrative Exposure Therapy or trauma-focused CBT, art therapy, transdiagnostic approaches (such as the group Problem Management Plan Plus (gPM+) developed by the WHO), or pharmacological treatments. However, the treatment of mental health issues for involuntary migrants is often limited or unavailable, due to factors including a short-term nature of a living situation (e.g. refugee camps) or a lack of health resources in host countries. A possible solution to alleviate some of these issues is the development of brief psychological interventions, such as gPM+3, which take place in the form of a restricted number of sessions delivered over a short time period. These are less resource intensive (especially if they can be delivered by trained lay workers rather than mental health specialists) and are more appropriate for short-term settings such as refugee camps. Furthermore, CBT-based treatments have previously been found to improve mental health symptoms in some refugee populations, and the majority of brief psychological interventions that have been administered to refugees currently in the literature are in the form of CBT-based sessions. Therefore, our systematic review is the first to focus on controlled trials investigating brief psychological interventions that are CBT-based, aiming to synthesize the data on whether or not these psychological interventions are effective at reducing mental health symptoms.

description: We prove that the entanglement entropy of any state evolved under an arbitrary $1/r^α$ long-range-interacting D-dimensional lattice spin Hamiltonian cannot change faster than a rate proportional to the boundary area for any $α>D+1$. We also prove that for any $α>2D+2$, the ground state of such a Hamiltonian satisfies the entanglement area law if it can be transformed along a gapped adiabatic path into a ground state known to satisfy the area law. These results significantly generalize their existing counterparts for short-range interacting systems, and are useful for identifying dynamical phase transitions and quantum phase transitions in the presence of long-range interactions.

A Radio-Frequency Synchronization System for Fiber-Optic Quantum Networks

Subjects: classificationCode: 400899
subject: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis discusses the use of a fiber optic system to synchronize GHz frequency radio-frequency signals over distances of up to 5 km and its future applications in quantum communications. The stability of the synchronization is assessed by an ‘identity gate’, where each radio-frequency signal drives a phase modulator, and the frequency profile of a continuous wave laser sent through both modulators indicates the stability of the RF signals relative to one another. Experimental results indicate that 19 GHz signals synchronized over 5.5 km drifted less than 1 ps over 30 minutes. This is superior to the radio-frequency synthesizers’ built in synchronization method and to other commonly used protocols. To illustrate an application, the system was employed in a quantum nonlocal modulation cancellation experiment. Joint spectral characterization of the biphotons shows that this synchronization scheme can be used for nodes in a quantum communications network. More specifically, possible future applications of this technology include use in a photonic quantum local area network at Oak Ridge National Laboratories.

description: R Aqr is a symbiotic binary system consisting of a mira variable, a hot companion with a spectacular jet outflow, and an extended emission line nebula. We have used R Aqr as test target for the visual camera subsystem ZIMPOL, which is part of the new extreme adaptive optics (AO) instrument SPHERE at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We compare our observations with data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and illustrate the complementarity of the two instruments. We determine from the Halpha emission the position, size, geometric structure, and line fluxes of the jet source and the clouds in the innermost region (<2") of R Aqr and determine Halpha emissivities mean density, mass, recombination time scale, and other cloud parameters. Our data resolve for the first time the R Aqr binary and we measure for the jet source a relative position 46+/-1 mas West of the mira. The central jet source is the strongest Halpha component. North east and south west from the central source there are many clouds with very diverse structures. We see in the SW a string of bright clouds arranged in a zig-zag pattern and, further out, more extended bubbles. In the N and NE we see a bright, very elongated filamentary structure and faint perpendicular "wisps" further out. Some jet clouds are also detected in the ZIMPOL [OI] and He I filters, as well as in the HST line filters for Halpha, [OIII], [NII], and [OI]. We determine jet cloud parameters and find a very well defined anti-correlation between cloud density and distance to the central binary. Future Halpha observations will provide the orientation of the orbital plane of the binary and allow detailed hydrodynamical investigations of this jet outflow and its interaction with the wind of the red giant companion.

description: We study the on-shell version of the Higgs mechanism in effective theories (EFTs) containing particles of different spins, focusing on contact terms as a simple starting point. We derive the massive contact terms and their coefficients from the massless amplitudes of the EFT above the symmetry breaking scale, by covariantizing the massless contact terms under the massive little group. In the little-group-covariant massive-spinor formalism, this notationally amounts to bolding spinor labels. Mass-suppressed contributions to the contact-term coefficients arise from higher-point contact terms with additional soft Higgs legs. We apply this procedure to obtain massive four-point amplitudes featuring scalars, spin 1/2 fermions and vectors, in the standard-model EFT. The subleading helicity-flipped components of each massive contact term, which are dictated by little-group covariance, are associated with the residues of factorizable massless amplitudes. Extra "frozen" Higgses emitted from each leg of a massless contact term supply the additional light-like momentum component, needed to form a massive leg of the same polarization. As another application, we derive various components of massive three-point amplitudes from massless amplitudes with up to three additional Higgses, in a standard-model-like toy model.

description: We study three-dimensional nodal line semimetals (NLSMs) with magnetic ordering and strong spin-orbit interaction. Two distinct classes of magnetic NLSMs are proposed. The first class is band-inversion NLSM where the accidental line node is induced by band inversion and locally protected by glide mirror plane and the combined time-reversal and inversion symmetries. This can be viewed as a trivial stacking of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Dirac semimetals. The second class is essential NLSM where the nodal features are filling-enforced by specific magnetic symmetry group. We further provide two concrete tight-binding models for magnetic NLSMs which belong to these two different classes, respectively. We conclude with a brief discussion on the possible material venues and the experimental implications for such phases.

description: We inspect signatures of dynamical quantum phase transitions driven by two types of quenches acting on a correlated quantum dot embedded between superconducting and metallic reservoirs. Under stationary conditions the proximity induced on-dot pairing combined with the strong Coulomb repulsion prefers the quantum dot to be either in the singly occupied (spinful) or BCS-type (spinless) ground state configuration. We study the time evolution upon traversing such a phase boundary due to quantum quenches by means of the time-dependent numerical renormalization group approach, revealing non-analytic features in the low-energy return rate. Quench protocols can be realized in a controllable manner and we are confident that detection of this dynamical singlet-doublet phase transition would be feasible by the charge tunnelling spectroscopy.

description: We are interested in the influence of cloudy atmospheres on the thermal radius evolution of warm exoplanets from an interior modelling perspective. By applying a physically motivated but simple parameterized cloud model, we obtain the atmospheric $P$-$T$ structure that is connected to the adiabatic interior at the self-consistently calculated radiative-convective boundary. We investigate the impact of cloud gradients, with the possibility of inhibiting superadiabatic clouds. Furthermore, we explore the impact on the radius evolution for a cloud base fixed at a certain pressure versus a subsiding cloud base during the planets' thermal evolution. We find that deep clouds clearly alter the evolution tracks of warm giants, leading to either slower/faster cooling than in the cloudless case (depending on the cloud model used). When comparing the fixed versus dynamic cloud base during evolution, we see an enhanced behaviour resulting in a faster or slower cooling in the case of the dynamic cloud base. We show that atmospheric models including deep clouds can lead to degeneracy in predicting the bulk metallicity of planets, $Z_\mathrm{P}$. For WASP-10b, we find a possible span of $\approx {Z_\mathrm{P}}_{-0.06}^{+0.10}$. For TOI-1268b, it is $\approx {Z_\mathrm{P}}_{-0.05}^{+0.10}$. Further work on cloud properties during the long-term evolution of gas giants is needed to better estimate the influence on the radius evolution.

description: We consider pseudo-involutions in the Riordan group where the generating function $g$ for the first column of a Riordan array satisfies a palindromic or near-palindromic functional equation. For those types of equations, we find, for very little work, the pseudo-involutory companion of $g$ and have a pseudo-involution in a $k$-Bell subgroup. There are only slight differences in the ordinary and exponential cases. In many cases, we also develop a general method for finding B-functions of Riordan pseudo-involutions in $k$-Bell subgroups, and show that these B-functions involve Chebyshev polynomials. We apply our method for many families of Riordan arrays, both new and already known. We also have some duality and reciprocity results. Since many of the examples we discuss have combinatorial significance, we conclude with a few remarks on the general framework for a combinatorial interpretation of some of the generating function results we obtain.

description: We theoretically investigate superfluid properties of a one-dimensional annular superfluid with a boost. We derive the formula of the superfluid fraction in the one-dimensional superfluid, which was originally derived by Leggett in the context of supersolid. We see that the superfluid fraction given by Leggett's formula detects the emergence of solitons in the one-dimensional annular superfluid. The formation of a bright soliton at a critical interaction strength decreases the superfluid fraction. At a critical boost velocity, a node appears in the soliton and the superfluid fraction vanishes. With a transverse dimension, the soliton alters to a more localized one and it undergoes dynamical instability at a critical transverse length. Consequently, the superfluid fraction decreases as one increases the length up to the critical length. With a potential barrier along the ring, the uniform density alters to an inhomogeneous configuration and it develops a soliton localized at one of the potential minima by increasing the interaction strength.

description: We study the behavior of cooperative multiplayer quantum games [35,36] in the presence of decoherence using different quantum channels such as amplitude damping, depolarizing and phase damping. It is seen that the outcomes of the games for the two damping channels with maximum values of decoherence reduce to same value. However, in comparison to phase damping channel, the payoffs of cooperators are strongly damped under the influence\ amplitude damping channel for\ the lower values of decoherence parameter. In the case of depolarizing channel, the game is a no-payoff game irrespective of the degree of entanglement in the initial state for the larger values of decoherence parameter. The decoherence gets the cooperators worse off.

description: Farm women's pluriactivity is nowadays estimated as a strategic means of upgrading their economic and social position at the farm and the local society's level and of preserving environmental and cultural heterogeneity in rural areas. This paper deals with women's new roles in agro-tourist and handicraft cooperatives as well as in small self-owned on-farm businesses in rural Greece. The aim of the paper is to give a picture of women's participation and attitudes towards these new activities and to investigate the problems and perspectives of these activities to secure a professional identity for farm women. We use data collected on the basis of personal questionnaires of l,459 farm women who participated in vocational training programs implemented by the Rural Extension Home Economics Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture. The investigation pointed out that women are interested in these jobs. But cooperation as well as activities in personal small businesses face many problems. Till now they cannot manage to offer a stable and sufficient income so as to operate as a serious alternative solution to their employment problem and to be attractive for young women (their daughters) to enter these jobs.

description: In associated worker cooperativism, the degree of agreement between the cooperative principles and values (democracy, equality, solidarity, etc.) and their economic efficiency is going to depend, to a great extent, on the human profile from which this type of organization is nurtured. In this study, we approach, precisely, how both dimensions (social and economic) interact, fundamentally, through a psycho-social study carried out with a sample of 159 associated workers belonging to 36 Andalusian associated worker cooperatives. The results indicate that in Andalusia, as in almost all of Spain, this conception of cooperation requires strong organizational, formative and economic support.

description: In this work we have considered a simple mechanical oscillator interacting with a single mode optical field inside a cavity in the generalized uncertainty principle framework (GUP). Our aim is to calculate the modified noise spectrum and observe the effects of the GUP. The commutation relation that we have considered has an extra linear order momentum term along with a quadratic order term. Confronting our theoretical results with the observational results, we observe that we get a much tighter bound on the GUP parameters from the noise spectrum using the values of the system parameters from different experiments.

description: Detection of the \hi~ 21-cm power spectrum is one of the key science drivers of several ongoing and upcoming low-frequency radio interferometers. However, the major challenge in such observations come from bright foregrounds, whose accurate removal or avoidance is key to the success of these experiments. In this work, we demonstrate the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to extract the \hi~ 21-cm power spectrum from synthetic datasets and extract the reionization parameters from the \hi~ 21-cm power spectrum. For the first time, using a suite of simulations, we present an ANN based framework capable of extracting the \hi~ signal power spectrum directly from the total observed sky power spectrum (which contains the 21-cm signal, along with the foregrounds and effects of the instrument). To achieve this, we have used a combination of two separate neural networks sequentially. As the first step, \texttt{ANN1} predicts the 21-cm power spectrum directly from foreground corrupted synthetic datasets. In the second step, \texttt{ANN2} predicts the reionization parameters from the predicted \hi~ power spectra from \texttt{ANN1}. Our ANN-based framework is trained at a redshift of $9.01$, and for \kk-modes in the range, $\rm{0.17

description: Ionic liquids are promising candidates for electrolytes in energy-storage systems. We demonstrate that mixing two ionic liquids allows to precisely tune their physical properties, like the dc conductivity. Moreover, these mixtures enable the gradual modification of the fragility parameter, which is believed to be a measure of the complexity of the energy landscape in supercooled liquids. The physical origin of this index is still under debate; therefore, mixing ionic liquids can provide further insights. From the chemical point of view, tuning ionic liquids via mixing is an easy and thus an economic way. For this study, we performed detailed investigations by broadband dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry on two mixing series of ionic liquids. One series combines an imidazole based with a pyridine based ionic liquid and the other two different anions in an imidazole based ionic liquid. The analysis of the glass-transition temperatures and the thorough evaluations of the measured dielectric permittivity and conductivity spectra reveal that the dynamics in mixtures of ionic liquids are well defined by the fractions of their parent compounds.

description: Purpose: To provide a fast computational method, based on the proximal graph solver (POGS) - a convex optimization solver using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), for calculating an optimal treatment plan in rotating shield brachytherapy (RSBT). RSBT treatment planning has more degrees of freedom than conventional high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) due to the addition of emission direction, and this necessitates a fast optimization technique to enable clinical usage. // Methods: The multi-helix RSBT (H-RSBT) delivery technique was considered with five representative cervical cancer patients. Treatment plans were generated for all patients using the POGS method and the previously considered commercial solver IBM CPLEX. The rectum, bladder, sigmoid, high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV), and HR-CTV boundary were the structures considered in our optimization problem, called the asymmetric dose-volume optimization with smoothness control. Dose calculation resolution was 1x1x3 mm^3 for all cases. The H-RSBT applicator has 6 helices, with 33.3 mm of translation along the applicator per helical rotation and 1.7 mm spacing between dwell positions, yielding 17.5 degree emission angle spacing per 5 mm along the applicator.// Results: For each patient, HR-CTV D90, HR-CTV D100, rectum D2cc, sigmoid D2cc, and bladder D2cc matched within 1% for CPLEX and POGS. Also, we obtained similar EQD2 figures between CPLEX and POGS. POGS was around 18 times faster than CPLEX. Over all patients, total optimization times were 32.1-65.4 seconds for CPLEX and 2.1-3.9 seconds for POGS. // Conclusions: POGS substantially reduced treatment plan optimization time around 18 times for RSBT with similar HR-CTV D90, OAR D2cc values, and EQD2 figure relative to CPLEX, which is significant progress toward clinical translation of RSBT. POGS is also applicable to conventional HDR-BT.

description: The experimental efforts characterizing the era of precision neutrino physics revolve around collecting high-statistics neutrino samples and attaining an excellent energy and position resolution. Next generation liquid-based neutrino detectors, such as JUNO, HyperKamiokande, etc, share the use of a large target mass, and the need of pushing light collection to the edge for maximal calorimetric information. Achieving high light collection implies considerable costs, especially when considering detector masses of several kt. A traditional strategy to maximize the effective photo-coverage with the minimum number of PMTs relies on Light Concentrators (LC), such as Winston Cones. In this paper, the authors introduce a novel concept called Occulting Light Concentrators (OLC), whereby a traditional LC gets tailored to a conventional PMT, by taking into account its single-photoelectron collection efficiency profile and thus occulting the worst performing portion of the photocathode. Thus, the OLC shape optimization takes into account not only the optical interface of the PMT, but also the maximization of the PMT detection performances. The light collection uniformity across the detector is another advantage of the OLC system. By considering the case of JUNO, we will show OLC capabilities in terms of light collection and energy resolution.

description: Internationally representative data of middle-aged adults 45 – 65 years old [n(United States) = 2,150; n(Japan) = 2,318; n(South Korea) = 2,800] from the 2012 Program for International Assessment of Adult Competencies were analyzed to examine the roles of education and literacy in relation to the digital divide. Results from survey-weighted binary logistic regressions showed that both educational attainment and literacy were positively associated with all four measures of information and communication technology (use of the computer, email, online information and transaction) use in all three countries. The middle-aged adults in the United States benefited more from the educational attainment than those in Japan, in terms of email and online information use. The middle-aged adults with lower education and basic skills (i.e., literacy) may benefit from the educational intervention and additional information and communication technology training, and in turn, improve the digital divide in later life, regardless of differences in culture and economy.

description: This paper reports research on three Canadian credit unions which have made an ongoing commitment to social auditing and which have conducted more than onc social audit. For these credit unions social auditing offers one way to promote and demonstrate accountability, and provides information which can guide credit unions' operations and policy development. Analysis of the thrce cases permits documentation of different ways of approaching the idea and execution of a social audit, and contributes significantly to our knowledge of what social auditing can mean for the credit union and the cooperative sector. The analysis is based on public and internal organizational documents, informant interviews, discussions at conferences and workshops, and participant observation. The research also provides insights into the issue of embedding social auditing in organizations which have once conducted an audit. The experiences of these three credit unions are relevant to all credit unions and cooperatives which wish to address issues of the double (financial and social) bottom line, accountability, and stakeholder relations.
