description: Standard model (SM) spin-zero singlets are constrained through their di-Bosonic decay channels via an effective coupling induced by a vector-like quark (VLQ) loop at the LHC for $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. These spin-zero resonances are then considered as portals for scalar, vector or fermionic dark matter particle interactions with SM gauge bosons. We find that the model is validated with respect to the observations from LHC data and from cosmology, indirect and direct detection experiments for an appreciable range of scalar, vector and fermionic DM masses greater than 300 GeV and VLQ masses $\ge$ 400 GeV, corresponding to the three choice of portal masses 270 GeV, 500 GeV and 750 GeV respectively.

description: A series of novel pleuromutilin derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the twin drugs theory. Piperazinyl and thioether were used as the linkage to connect the pleuromutilin nuclear and sulfonamide to improve the biological activity and water solubility of derivatives. The in vitro antibacterial activities against drug-sensitive and drug-resistance bacteria were evaluated by agar dilution method. Most of the 25 compounds displayed excellent antibacterial activities against drug-sensitive bacteria, particularly, five compounds (9, 10, 11, 14a and 14b) exerted the excellent antibacterial activities against drug-resistance bacteria.

description: We use Robust Semidefinite Programs and Entanglement Witnesses to study the distillability of Werner states. We perform exact numerical calculations which show 2-undistillability in a region of the state space which was previously conjectured to be undistillable. We also introduce bases which yield interesting expressions for the {\em distillability witnesses} and for a tensor product of Werner states with arbitrary number of copies.

description: Studies of the reaction $γπ\toππ$, in the context of the ongoing Primakoff program of the COMPASS experiment at CERN, give access to the radiative couplings of the $ρ(770)$ and $ρ_3(1690)$ resonances. We provide a vector-meson-dominance estimate of the respective radiative width of the $ρ_3$, $Γ_{ρ_3\toπγ}=48(18)$ keV, as well as its impact on the $F$-wave in $γπ\toππ$. For the $ρ(770)$, we establish the formalism necessary to extract its radiative coupling directly from the residue of the resonance pole by analytic continuation of the $γπ\toππ$ amplitude to the second Riemann sheet, without any reference to the vector-meson-dominance hypothesis.

Detectability of dirty dust grains in brown dwarf atmospheres

description: Dust clouds influence the atmospheric structure of brown dwarfs, and they affect the heat transfer and change the gas-phase chemistry. However, the physics of their formation and evolution is not well understood. In this letter, we predict dust signatures and propose a potential observational test of the physics of dust formation in brown dwarf atmosphere based on the spectral features of the different solid components predicted by dust formation theory. A momentum method for the formation of dirty dust grains (nucleation, growth, evaporation, drift) is used in application to a static brown dwarf atmosphere structure to compute the dust grain properties, in particular the heterogeneous grain composition and the grain size. Effective medium and Mie theory are used to compute the extinction of these spherical grains. Dust formation results in grains whose composition differs from that of grains formed at equilibrium. Our kinetic model predicts that solid amorphous SiO2[s] (silica) is one of the most abundant solid component followed by amorphous MgSiO4[s] and MgSiO3[s], while SiO2[s] is absent in equilibrium models because it is a metastable solid. Solid amorphous SiO2[s] possesses a strong broad absorption feature centered at 8.7mum, while amorphous Mg2SiO4[s]/MgSiO3[s] absorb at 9.7mum beside other absorption features at longer wavelength. Those features at lambda < 15mum are detectable in absorption if grains are small (radius < 0.2mum) in the upper atmosphere as suggested by our model. We suggest that the detection of a feature at 8.7mum in deep infrared spectra could provide evidence for non-equilibrium dust formation that yields grains composed of metastable solids in brown dwarf atmospheres. This feature will shift towards 10mum and broaden if silicates (e.g. fosterite) are much more abundant.

description: We present high precision, model independent, mass and radius measurements for 16 white dwarfs in detached eclipsing binaries and combine these with previously published data to test the theoretical white dwarf mass-radius relationship. We reach a mean precision of 2.4 per cent in mass and 2.7 per cent in radius, with our best measurements reaching a precision of 0.3 per cent in mass and 0.5 per cent in radius. We find excellent agreement between the measured and predicted radii across a wide range of masses and temperatures. We also find the radii of all white dwarfs with masses less than 0.48M$_\odot$ to be fully consistent with helium core models, but they are on average 9 per cent larger than those of carbon-oxygen core models. In contrast, white dwarfs with masses larger than 0.52M$_\odot$ all have radii consistent with carbon-oxygen core models. Moreover, we find that all but one of the white dwarfs in our sample have radii consistent with possessing thick surface hydrogen envelopes ($10^{-5} \ge M_\mathrm{H}/M_\mathrm{WD} \ge 10^{-4}$), implying that the surface hydrogen layers of these white dwarfs are not obviously affected by common envelope evolution.

description: We argue that the space-time uncertainty relation of the form $ΔX ΔT \gtrsim α'$ for the observability of the distances with respect to time, $ΔT$, and space, $ΔX$, is universally valid in string theory including D-branes. This relation has been previously proposed by one (T.Y.) of the present authors as a simple qualitative representation of the perturbative short distance structure of fundamental string theory. We show that the relation, combined with the usual quantum mechanical uncertainty principle, explains the key qualitative features of D-particle dynamics.

Ultralow and Anisotropic Thermal Conductivity in Semiconductor As2Se3

description: An ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of 0.14 W$\cdot$ m$^{-1} \cdot$ K$^{-1}$ along the $\vec b$ axis of As$_2$Se$_3$ single crystals was obtained at 300 K by first-principles calculations involving the density functional theory and the resolution of the Boltzmann transport equation. This ultralow lattice thermal conductivity arises from the combination of two mechanisms: 1) a cascade-like fall of the low-lying optical modes, which results in avoided crossings of these with the acoustic modes, low sound velocities and increased scattering rates of the acoustic phonons; and 2) the repulsion between the lone-pair electrons of the As cations and the valence $p$ orbitals of the Se anions, which leads to an increase in the anharmonicity of the bonds. The physical origins of these mechanisms lie on the nature of the chemical bonding in the material and its strong anisotropy. These results, whose validity has been addressed by comparison with SnSe, for which excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experiments is achieved, point out that As$_2$Se$_3$ could exhibit improved thermoelectric properties.
Coalitions in the quantum Minority game: classical cheats and quantum bullies

description: In a one-off Minority game, when a group of players agree to collaborate they gain an advantage over the remaining players. We consider the advantage obtained in a quantum Minority game by a coalition sharing an initially entangled state versus that obtained by a coalition that uses classical communication to arrive at an optimal group strategy. In a model of the quantum Minority game where the final measurement basis is randomized, quantum coalitions outperform classical ones when carried out by up to four players, but an unrestricted amount of classical communication is better for larger coalition sizes.

description: We present a study of the relation between galaxy stellar age and mass for 14 members of the $z=1.62$ protocluster IRC 0218, using multiband imaging and HST G102 and G141 grism spectroscopy. Using $UVJ$ colors to separate galaxies into star forming and quiescent populations, we find that at stellar masses $M_* \geq 10^{10.85} M_{\odot}$, the quiescent fraction in the protocluster is $f_Q=1.0^{+0.00}_{-0.37}$, consistent with a $\sim 2\times $ enhancement relative to the field value, $f_Q=0.45^{+0.03}_{-0.03}$. At masses $10^{10.2} M_{\odot} \leq M_* \leq 10^{10.85} M_{\odot}$, $f_Q$ in the cluster is $f_Q=0.40^{+0.20}_{-0.18}$, consistent with the field value of $f_Q=0.28^{+0.02}_{-0.02}$. Using galaxy $D_{n}(4000)$ values derived from the G102 spectroscopy, we find no relation between galaxy stellar age and mass. These results may reflect the impact of merger-driven mass redistribution, which is plausible as this cluster is known to host many dry mergers. Alternately, they may imply that the trend in $f_Q$ in IRC 0218 was imprinted over a short timescale in the protocluster's assembly history. Comparing our results with those of other high-redshift studies and studies of clusters at $z\sim 1$, we determine that our observed relation between $f_Q$ and stellar mass only mildly evolves between $z\sim 1.6$ and $z \sim 1$, and only at stellar masses $M_* \leq 10^{10.85} M_{\odot}$. Both the $z\sim 1$ and $z\sim 1.6$ results are in agreement that the red sequence in dense environments was already populated at high redshift, $z \ge 3$, placing constraints on the mechanism(s) responsible for quenching in dense environments at $z\ge 1.5$

description: We consider the Riemann problem of evolution of initial discontinuities for the photon fluid propagating in a normal dispersion fiber with account of self-steepening effects. The dynamics of light field is described by the nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation with self-steepening term appearing due to retardation of the fiber material response to variations of the electromagnetic signal. It is shown that evolution dynamics in this case is much richer than that for the NLS equation. Complete classification of possible wave structures is given for all possible jump conditions at the discontinuity.

A hierarchy of cosmic compact objects - without black holes

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We make the case for the existence of a, hitherto unknown and unobserved, hierarchy of ever more compact cosmic objects in the universe. This hypothesis is based on i) the assumption of "elementary" particle sub-constituents on several levels below the presently known, inspired by Glashow's "blooming desert", ii) the existence of nearly scale-invariant density fluctuations in the early universe, e.g. as predicted by inflationary models, iii) our own previous theoretical work showing that a class of objects considerably more compact than previously thought possible in astrophysics can exist. We also give several independent arguments strongly pointing towards the non-existence of black holes. Some brief suggestions on observational signals due to the hierarchy, both in collected astronomical data and in possible future observations, concludes the paper.

description: This paper discusses the synthesis, characterization, and comprehensive study of Ba-122 single crystals with various substitutions and various $T_c$. The paper uses five complementary techniques to obtain a self-consistent set of data on the superconducting properties of Ba-122. A major conclusion of the authors work is the coexistence of two superconducting condensates differing in the electron-boson coupling strength. The two gaps that develop in distinct Fermi surface sheets are nodeless in the $k_xk_y$-plane and exhibit s-wave symmetry, the two-band model represents a sufficient data description tool. A moderate interband coupling and a considerable Coulomb repulsion in the description of the two-gap superconducting state of barium pnictides favor the $s^{++}$-model.

description: The need for better sanitation in the developing world is clear. 40% of the world’s population - 2.5 billion people - still practice unsafe sanitation or lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. Building upon the hypothesis that malodor makes toilets undesirable and might reduce toilet usage, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has partnered with Firmenich to develop a unique malodor counteractant technology. The technology aims to improve user experience and thus, contribute to Sustainable Development Goal #6.2 by encouraging people to adopt safer behaviors and move up the sanitation ladder, from open defecation to community toilets and eventually to individual toilets. In this context, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked Firmenich and Archipel&Co to run 10 case studies in low -income settlements across 4 countries to gain further insights on this topic. This research explores the specific role played by malodor among all the factors that influence sanitation decisions in low-income urban settlements. To what extent can the use of malodor counteractant technology encourage people to adopt safer sanitation practices and move up the sanitation ladder?

This report presents key results from the 10 case studies.

description: Different non-classicality criteria expressed in the form of inequalities among intensity moments and elements of photon-number distributions are applied to noisy twin beams and other two-mode states obtained from a twin beam by using a beam splitter. Their performance in revealing the non-classicality is judged in comparison with the exact results provided by suitable entanglement and local non-classicality quantifiers. Whereas the non-classicality of noisy twin beams is always revealed by these criteria, not all the nonclassical states obtained at the output of the beam splitter can be identified by these experimentally easily reachable criteria.

description: We systematically compare filtering methods used to extract topological excitations (like instantons, calorons, monopoles and vortices) from lattice gauge configurations, namely APE-smearing and spectral decompositions based on lattice Dirac and Laplace operators. Each of these techniques introduces ambiguities, which can invalidate the interpretation of the results. We show, however, that all these methods, when handled with care, reveal very similar topological structures. Hence, these common structures are free of ambiguities and faithfully represent infrared degrees of freedom in the QCD vacuum. As an application we discuss an interesting power-law for the clusters of filtered topological charge.

description: The need for better sanitation in the developing world is clear. 40% of the world’s population - 2.5 billion people - still practice unsafe sanitation or lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. Building upon the hypothesis that malodor makes toilets undesirable and might reduce toilet usage, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has partnered with Firmenich to develop a unique malodor counteractant technology. The technology aims to improve user experience and thus, contribute to Sustainable Development Goal #6.2 by encouraging people to adopt safer behaviors and move up the sanitation ladder, from open defecation to community toilets and eventually to individual toilets. In this context, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked Firmenich and Archipel&Co to run 10 case studies in low -income settlements across 4 countries to gain further insights on this topic. This research explores the specific role played by malodor among all the factors that influence sanitation decisions in low-income urban settlements. To what extent can the use of malodor counteractant technology encourage people to adopt safer sanitation practices and move up the sanitation ladder?

This report presents key results from the 2 case studies in India.

description: Drawing on Vanhove's contributions to mixed Hodge structures for Feynman integrals in two-di\-men\-sion\-al quantum field theory, we compute two families of determinants whose entries are Bessel moments. Via explicit factorizations of certain Wrońskian determinants, we verify two recent conjectures proposed by Broadhurst and Mellit, concerning determinants of arbitrary sizes. With some extensions to our methods, we also relate two more determinants of Broadhurst--Mellit to the logarithmic Mahler measures of certain polynomials.

description: Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει τη σύγκλιση των κινητών και φορετών τεχνολογιών, των αλγορίθμων μηχανικής μάθησης και των ανθρωποκεντρικών προβληματισμών στον τομέα της πανταχού παρούσας υπολογιστικής. Οι πανταχού παρούσες συσκευές έχουν βρει πολυάριθμες εφαρμογές τα τελευταία χρόνια, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της παρακολούθησης της υγείας και ευεξίας, της ασφάλειας στο χώρο εργασίας, του ποιοτικού ελέγχου, της απομακρυσμένης βοήθειας ή εκπαίδευσης και της παρακολούθησης της κόπωσης. Ωστόσο, η ενθουσιώδης υιοθέτηση της μηχανικής μάθησης σε τέτοιες τεχνολογίες μπορεί ακούσια να διαιωνίσει προκαταλήψεις και ηθικά διλήμματα. Μέσω πρωτότυπης έρευνας που καλύπτει την αλληλεπίδραση με τον χρήστη, τη συλλογή δεδομένων και την αλγοριθμική ισότητα, η παρούσα διατριβή προτείνει λύσεις για τον μετριασμό τέτοιων προκλήσεων "ευθυγράμμισης" της τεχνολογίας και των ανρθωπίνων αξιών. Μεταξύ άλλων, εισάγει ένα πλαίσιο για το σχεδιασμό και την αξιολόγηση τεχνολογιών για παρεμβάσεις αλλαγής συμπεριφοράς σε διαφορετικούς πληθυσμούς, ανοικτά σύνολα δεδομένων και πρότυπα αναφοράς για τη διευκόλυνση της μελλοντικής διεπιστημονικής έρευνας, καθώς και μεθοδολογίες για ανάπτυξη τεχνολογιών με γνώμονα τη δικαιοσύνη. Δίνοντας έμφαση στην ενσωμάτωση των τεχνικών εξελίξεων με αξίες που έχουν ως επίκεντρο τον άνθρωπο, η εργασία αυτή υποστηρίζει μια ολιστική προσέγγιση της κινητής και φορετής υπολογιστικής, υπογραμμίζοντας τη σημασία της ευθυγράμμισης των συστημάτων μηχανικής μάθησης με τις κοινωνικές ανάγκες και προσδοκίες.
description: The present thesis delves into the convergence of mobile and wearable technologies, machine learning algorithms, and human-centered concerns within the Ubiquitous Computing domain. Ubiquitous devices have found numerous applications in recent years, including healthcare monitoring, workplace safety, quality control, remote assistance or training, and fatigue monitoring. Yet, the enthusiastic adoption of machine learning in such technologies may inadvertently perpetuate biases and ethical dilemmas. Through original research spanning user interaction, data collection, and algorithmic equity, this thesis proposes solutions to mitigate such “alignment” challenges. Among others, it introduces a framework for designing and evaluating technologies for behavior change interventions on diverse populations, open datasets and benchmarks for facilitating future interdisciplinary research, and methodologies for fairness-aware computing. By emphasizing the integration of technical advancements with human-centered values, this work advocates for a holistic approach to mobile and wearable computing, highlighting the importance of aligning machine learning systems with societal needs and expectations.

description: We consider actions for particles and strings, including twistorial descriptions on 4d Minkowski and AdS$_5$ spacetimes from the point of view of co-adjoint orbits for the isometry group. We also consider the collective coordinate dynamics of singular solutions in Chern-Simons (CS) theories and CS theories of gravity. This is a generalization of the work of Einstein, Infeld and Hoffmann and also has potential points of contact with fluid-gravity correspondence.

description: We discuss a non-linear stochastic master equation that governs the time-evolution of the estimated quantum state. Its differential evolution corresponds to the infinitesimal updates that depend on the time-continuous measurement of the true quantum state. The new stochastic master equation couples to the two standard stochastic differential equations of time-continuous quantum measurement. For the first time, we can prove that the calculated estimate almost always converges to the true state, also at low-efficiency measurements. We show that our single-state theory can be adapted to weak continuous ensemble measurements as well.

description: The FCC Study is an international collaboration established, in the search for physics beyondthe Standard Model, to investigate the feasibility of a new circular collider. To this end, one major challenge is the development of SRF cavities, for which one of the possibilities is given by superconducting (SC) film coated copper cavities.It ist important to study the properties of these films such as the critical temperature Tc to assess their superconducting performance. The achievementof the literature values of Tc still represents a non-trivial goal for films on copper. In this work, we present and discuss the results from the first measurements performed with a dedicated test stand that has been commissioned at the Central Cryogenic Laboratory at CERN for the contactless, inductive measurement of the Tc of SC thin-film samples deposited on copper.
Radiation from an expanding cocoon as an explanation of the steep decay observed in GRB early afterglow light curves

description: Observations of early afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRB's) with the Swift satellite show steep decay of the X-ray light curve, F_ν(t) ~ t^{-α} with α~ 2.5 - 4 at ~300-500 s after the burst trigger. The spectrum in this time interval is consistent with a spectrum F_ν~ ν^{-β} with β~1. Here, we show that these results can be explained as due to emission from the hot plasma "cocoon" associated with the jet, which expands relativistically after the jet has broken through the stellar envelope, if a substantial fraction of the coccon kinetic energy is dissipated at scattering optical depths τ_T ~ 10^2-10^3. This results in the bulk of the coccon photons being observed at X-ray energies, after a delay of few hundreds of seconds relative to the gamma-ray photons from the jet. Multiple Compton scattering inside the cocoon causes a spread in the arrival times of the X-ray photons. We calculate numerically the observed light curve of photons emerging from the cocoon, and show that it exhibits a steep decay, which resembles that observed in many GRB afterglows. During the adiabatic expansion that follows the dissipation phase, photons lose energy to the expanding plasma, and as a result, the emerging photon energy distribution differs from a black-body spectrum, and can be approximated as a power law in the Swift XRT band. Comparison of the numerical results with the Swift XRT data of GRB050315 and GRB050421 shows good agreement between the light curves and spectra during the initial steep decay phase.

description: The superconformal invariants in analytic superspace are found. Superconformal invariance is shown to imply that the Green's functions of analytic operators are invariant holomorphic sections of a line bundle on a product of certain harmonic superspaces. It is argued that the correlation functions for a class of sufficiently low dimension gauge invariant operators in N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be evaluated up to constants.
