description: The present paper reports on several r-process motivated β-decay experiments undertaken at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. β-decay half-lives and β-delayed neutron-emission probabilities were measured for nuclei around the r-process A = 70–80 and A = 90 – 110 mass regions. The data are discussed on the basis of quasi-random phase approximation calculations. The emphasis is made on the impact of these data upon calculations of r-process abundances.

CLS INFRA D3.3 Showcases for the application of CLS methods and tools
Creators: name: Schöch, Christof
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of the showcases for the application of methods and tools in Computational Literary Studies (CLS) presented here is to illustrate, in a concrete, visual and interactive way, how some of the key methods in CLS work when they are applied to collections of literary texts. In addition, the showcases are designed as demonstrations, with a relatively low threshold for access, of how tools and datasets as elements of an integrated infrastructure such as the one developed in CLS INFRA, can be used in research. This is done here in the hope that the showcases also help us draw additional scholars towards learning about and using such methods, datasets and infrastructure services.

description: Phase-space realisations of an infinite parameter family of quantum deformations of the boson algebra in which the $q$-- and the $qp$--deformed algebras arise as special cases are studied. Quantum and classical models for the corresponding deformed oscillators are provided. The deformation parameters are identified with coefficients of non-linear terms in the normal forms expansion of a family of classical Hamiltonian systems. These quantum deformations are trivial in the sense that they correspond to non-unitary transformations of the Weyl algebra. They are non-trivial in the sense that the deformed commutators consistently quantise a class of non-canonical classical Poisson structures.

description: Upregulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx via ORAI1, an integral component of the CRAC channel, is responsible for abnormal cytokine release in active rheumatoid arthritis, and therefore ORAI1 has been proposed as an attractive molecular target. In this study, we attempted to predict the mechanical insights of ORAI1 inhibitors through pharmacophore modelling, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking and free energy analysis. Various hypotheses of pharmacophores were generated and from that, a pharmacophore hypothesis with two hydrogen bond acceptors, one hydrogen bond donor and two aromatic rings (AADRR) resulted in a statistically significant 3D-QSAR model (r2 = 0.84 and q2 = 0.74). We believe that the obtained statistical model is a reliable QSAR model for the diverse dataset of inhibitors against the IL-2 production assay. The visualization of contours in active and inactive compounds generated from the 3D-QSAR models and molecular docking studies revealed major interaction with GLN108, HIS113 and ASP114, and interestingly, these residues are located near the Ca2+ selectivity filter region. Free energy binding analysis revealed that Coulomb energy, van der Waals energy and non-polar solvation terms are more favourable for ligand binding. Thus, the present study provides the physical and chemical requirements for the development of novel ORAI1 inhibitors with improved biological activity.

description: We consider the non-eikonal corrections to particle production in the Color Glass Condensate stemming from the relaxation of the shockwave approximation for the target that acquires a finite longitudinal dimension. We derive a modified expression of the Lipatov vertex which takes into account this finite target width. This expression is employed to compute single, double and triple gluon production in the Glasma graph limit valid for the scattering of two dilute objects, at all orders in the expansion in the number of colors. We justify and generalize previous results, and discuss the possible implications on two particle correlations of these non-eikonal corrections that induce differences between the away- and near-side peaks.

description: Recently the concept of quantum information has been introduced into game theory. Here we present the first study of quantum games with more than two players. We discover that such games can possess a new form of equilibrium strategy, one which has no analogue either in traditional games or even in two-player quantum games. In these `pure' coherent equilibria, entanglement shared among multiple players enables new kinds of cooperative behavior: indeed it can act as a contract, in the sense that it prevents players from successfully betraying one-another.

description: Researches worldwide show that entrepreneurs share idiosyncratic characteristics compared with the rest of the population, which have stimulated specific studies on measurement of this behaviour. Among the most relevant and recent measurement approaches to the area of entrepreneurship in Brazil, there was the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale. Nevertheless, the original presentation of this instrument failed to find psychometric properties of stricter validation, and the related studies are not yet sufficient. This article aimed to check evidence of confirmatory factor validity, parameters of dimensional structure and criterion validity (predictive efficacy) of the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale. Two studies were conducted for this purpose. Study 1 (one) included the participation of 455 university students to carry out the construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis and multidimensional scaling (MDS). In turn, study 2 (two) included the participation of 654 college students and 148 entrepreneurs to perform the criterion validity by Student’s t test and effect size (Cohen’s d). Results show that the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale presents a factorial design with good quality adjustment and high levels of precision, indicating that it is a tool which converges reliably to predict the entrepreneurial behaviour.

description: When a quantum system is coupled to several heat baths at different temperatures, it eventually reaches a non-equilibrium steady state featuring stationary internal heat currents. These currents imply that entropy is continually being produced in the system at a constant rate. In this paper we apply phase-space techniques to the calculation of the Wigner entropy production on general linear networks of harmonic nodes. Working in the ubiquitous limit of weak internal coupling and weak dissipation, we obtain simple closed-form expressions for the entropic contribution of each individual quasi-probability current. Our analysis highlights the essential role played by the internal unitary interactions (node-node couplings) in maintaining a non-equilibrium steady-state and hence a finite entropy production rate. We also apply this formalism to the paradigmatic problem of energy transfer through a chain of oscillators subject to self-consistent internal baths that can be used to tune the transport from ballistic to diffusive. We find that the entropy production scales with different power law behaviors in the ballistic and diffusive regimes, hence allowing us to quantify what is the "entropic cost of diffusivity."

description: We consider a three-dimensional Ising model in a transverse magnetic field, $h$ and a bulk field $H$. An interface is introduced by an appropriate choice of boundary conditions. At the point $(H=0,h=0)$ spin configurations corresponding to different positions of the interface are degenerate. By studying the phase diagram near this multiphase point using quantum-mechanical perturbation theory we show that that quantum fluctuations, controlled by $h$, split the multiphase degeneracy giving rise to an infinite sequence of layering transitions.

description: The two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in moderate magnetic fields in ultra-clean AlAs-GaAs heterojunctions exhibits transport anomalies suggestive of a compressible, anisotropic metallic state. Using scaling arguments and Monte Carlo simulations, we develop an order parameter theory of an electron nematic phase. The observed temperature dependence of the resistivity anisotropy behaves like the orientational order parameter if the transition to the nematic state occurs at a finite temperature, $T_c \sim 65 mK$, and is slightly rounded by a small background microscopic anisotropy. We propose a light scattering experiment to measure the critical susceptibility.

description: An improved version of the well-known Peebles-Vilenkin model unifying early inflationary era to current cosmic acceleration, is introduced in order to match with the theoretical values of the spectral quantities provided by it with the recent observational data about the early universe. Since the model presents a sudden phase transition, we consider the simplest way to reheat the universe - via the gravitational production of heavy massive particles - which assuming that inflation starts at GUT scales $\sim 10^{16}$ GeV, allows us to use the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation and consequently this enables us to perform all the calculations in an analytic way. Our results show that the model leads to a maximum temperature at the TeV regime, and passes the bounds to ensure the success of the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Finally, we have constrained the quintessence piece of the proposed improved version of the Peebles-Vilenkin model using various astronomical datasets available at present.

description: The pair decay width of the first excited 0⁺ state in ¹²C (the Hoyle state) is deduced from a novel analysis of the world data on inelastic electron scattering covering a wide momentum transfer range, thereby resolving previous discrepancies. The extracted value Γπ = (62.3 ± 2.0) μeV is independently confirmed by new data at low momentum transfers measured at the S-DALINAC and reduces the uncertainty of the literature values by more than a factor of three. A precise knowledge of Γπ is mandatory for quantitative studies of some key issues in the modeling of supernovae and of asymptotic giant branch stars, the most likely site of the slow-neutron nucleosynthesis process.

description: Supersymmetric particles at the multi-TeV scale will escape direct detection at planned future colliders. However, such particles induce non-decoupling corrections in processes involving the accessible superparticles through violations of the supersymmetric equivalence between gauge boson and gaugino couplings. In a previous study, we parametrized these violations in terms of super-oblique parameters and found significant deviations in well-motivated models. Here, we systematically classify the possible experimental probes of such deviations, and present detailed investigations of representative observables available at a future linear collider. In some scenarios, the $e^-e^-$ option and adjustable beam energy are exploited to achieve high precision. It is shown that precision measurements are possible for each of the three coupling relations, leading to significant bounds on the masses and properties of heavy superparticles and possible exotic sectors.

description: Vizing's conjecture (open since 1968) relates the sizes of dominating sets in two graphs to the size of a dominating set in their Cartesian product graph. In this paper, we formulate Vizing's conjecture itself as a Positivstellensatz existence question. In particular, we encode the conjecture as an ideal/polynomial pair such that the polynomial is nonnegative if and only if the conjecture is true. We demonstrate how to use semidefinite optimization techniques to computationally obtain numeric sum-of-squares certificates, and then show how to transform these numeric certificates into symbolic certificates approving nonnegativity of our polynomial. After outlining the theoretical structure of this computer-based proof of Vizing's conjecture, we present computational and theoretical results. In particular, we present exact low-degree sparse sum-of-squares certificates for particular families of graphs.
The single-particle density of states and a resonance in the Aharonov-Bohm potential

description: The single-particle densitity of states (DOS) for the Pauli and the Schrödinger Hamiltonians in the presence of an Aharonov-Bohm potential is calculated for different values of the particle magnetic moment. The DOS is a symmetric and periodic function of the flux. The Krein-Friedel formula can be applied to this long-ranged potential when regularized with the zeta function. We have found that whenever a bound state is present in the spectrum it is always accompanied by a resonance. The shape of the resonance is not of the Breit-Wigner type. The differential scattering cross section is asymmetric if a bound state is present and gives rise to the Hall effect. As an application, propagation of electrons in a dilute vortex limit is considered and the Hall resistivity is calculated.

description: Background: Linaclotide is approved for treating irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C; 290 µg QD) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC; 145 µg or 72 µg QD). These analyses aimed to assess linaclotide safety in a large, pooled Phase 3 population. Methods: In six randomized controlled trials (RCTs), patients received linaclotide (72 µg, 145 µg, 290 µg) or placebo daily for 12–26 weeks; in two long-term safety (LTS) studies, patients received open-label linaclotide for ≤78 additional weeks. Laboratory values, vital signs, and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed. Results: Overall, 3853 patients received ≥1 dose of linaclotide. The most common TEAE was diarrhea (majority [90.5% in RCTs] mild/moderate). Linaclotide patients experienced 1.1 diarrhea TEAE per patient-year in the RCTs (0.2 in placebo), and 0.3 in the LTS studies. In RCTs, 6.9% linaclotide and 3.0% placebo patients discontinued due to any adverse event (AE); 4.0% linaclotide and 0.3% placebo patients discontinued due to diarrhea. In LTS studies, 9.4% patients discontinued due to any AE, and 3.8% due to diarrhea. Serious AEs (SAEs) were rare and similar across treatment groups; there were no SAEs of diarrhea. Conclusion: These pooled analyses of patients treated for ≤104 weeks confirm linaclotide’s overall safety.

Storing magnetic fields in pre-collapse cores of massive stars

description: We argue that the radiative zone above the iron core in pre-collapse cores of massive stars can store strong magnetic fields. To reach this conclusion we use the stellar evolutionary code MESA to simulate the evolution of two stellar models with initial masses of 15Mo and 25Mo, and reveal the entropy profile above the iron core just before core collapse. Just above the iron core there is a thin zone with convective shells. We assume that a dynamo in these convective shells amplifies magnetic fields and forms magnetic flux loops. By considering the buoyancy of magnetic flux loops we show that the steep entropy rise in the radiative zone above the dynamo can prevent buoyancy of flux loops with magnetic fields below about 10^{13}G. When this radiative zone collapses on to the newly born neutron star the converging inflow further amplifies the magnetic fields by a factor of about a hundred. After passing through the stalled shock at about a hundred kilometres from the center, these strong magnetic fields together with instabilities can facilitate the launching of jets that explode the star in the frame of the jittering jets explosion mechanism. Our study further supports the claim for the necessity to include magnetic fields in simulating the explosion of CCSNe.

description: In this work we test graphene electrodes in nano-metric channel n-type Organic Field EffectTransistors (OFETs) based on thermally evaporated thin films of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide derivative (PDIF-CN2). By a thorough comparison with short channel transistors made with reference gold electrodes, we found that the output characteristics of the graphene-based devices respond linearly to the applied biases, in contrast with the supra-linear trend of gold-based transistors. Moreover, short channel effects are considerably suppressed in graphene electrodes devices. More specifically, current on/off ratios independent of the channel length (L) and enhanced response for high longitudinal biases are demonstrated for L down to ~140 nm. These results are rationalized taking into account the morphological and electronic characteristics of graphene, showing that the use of graphene electrodes may help to overcome the problem of Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC) in short channel OFETs.

description: Almost all confirmed optical counterparts of HMXBs in the SMC are OB stars with equatorial decretion disks (OBe). These sources emit strongly in Balmer lines and standout when imaged through narrow-band Hα imaging. The lack of secure counterparts for a significant fraction of the HMXBs motivated us to search for more. Using the catalogs for OB/OBe stars (Maravelias et al. 2017) and for HMXBs (Haberl & Sturm 2016) we detect 70 optical counterparts (out of 104 covered by our survey). We provide the first identification of the optical counterpart to the source XTEJ0050-731. We verify that 17 previously uncertain optical counterparts are indeed the proper matches. Regarding 52 confirmed HMXBs (known optical counterparts with Hα emission), we detect 39 as OBe and another 13 as OB stars. This allows a direct estimation of the fraction of active OBe stars in HMXBs that show Hα emission at a given epoch to be at least $\sim75\%$ of their total HMXB population.

description: Objective: Clinical stages in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be measured using a simple system based on the number of CNS regions involved and requirement for gastrostomy or noninvasive ventilation (NIV). We aimed to design a standard operating procedure (SOP) to define the standardized use and application of the King’s staging system. Methods: We designed a SOP for the King’s staging system. We wrote case vignettes representative of ALS patients at different disease stages. During two workshops, we taught health care professionals how to use the SOP, then asked them to stage the vignettes using the SOP. We measured the extent to which SOP staging corresponded with correct clinical stage. Results: The reliability of staging using the SOP was excellent, with a Spearman’s Rank coefficient of 0.95 (p Conclusions: We have demonstrated that the staging SOP provides a reliable method of calculating clinical stages in ALS patients and can be used prospectively by a range of health care professionals with different levels of experience, as for example may be the case in multicentre clinical trials.

description: The process e+e- to gamma gamma (gamma) is studied using data recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The data sample corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 56.2 pb-1 taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The measured cross-section agrees well with the expectation from QED. A fit to the angular distribution is used to obtain improved limits at 95% CL on the QED cut-off parameters: Lambda+ > 233 GeV and Lambda- > 265 GeV as well as a mass limit for an excited electron, M(e*) > 227 GeV assuming equal e*egamma and eegamma couplings. No evidence for resonance production is found in the invariant mass spectrum of photon pairs. Limits are obtained for the cross-section times branching ratio for a resonance decaying into two photons.

description: The ground states of the one-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model are investigated in the small-coupling limit, using nearly degenerate perturbation theory. For rational electron and ion densities, respectively equal to $\frac{p}{q}$, $\frac{p_i}{q}$, with $p$ relatively prime to $q$ and $\frac{p_i}{q}$ close enough to $\frac{1}{2}$, we find that in the ground state the ion configuration has period $q$. The situation is analogous to the Peierls instability where the usual arguments predict a period-$q$ state that produces a gap at the Fermi level and is insulating. However for $\frac{p_i}{q}$ far enough from $\frac{1}{2}$, this phase becomes unstable against phase separation. The ground state is a mixture of a period-$q$ ionic configuration and an empty (or full) configuration, where both configurations have the same electron density to leading order. Combining these new results with those previously obtained for strong coupling, it follows that a phase transition occurs in the ground state, as a function of the coupling, for ion densities far enough from $\frac{1}{2}$.

description: A carbon nanotube is an ideal object for understanding the atomic scale aspects of interface interaction and friction. Using molecular statics and dynamics methods different types of motion of nanotubes on a graphite surface are investigated. We found that each nanotube has unique equilibrium orientations with sharp potential energy minima. This leads to atomic scale locking of the nanotube. The effective contact area and the total interaction energy scale with the square root of the radius. Sliding and rolling of nanotubes have different characters. The potential energy barriers for sliding nanotubes are higher than that for perfect rolling. When the nanotube is pushed, we observe a combination of atomic scale spinning and sliding motion. The result is rolling with the friction force comparable to sliding.

description: In this paper, we study pairs of oscillators that are indirectly coupled via active (excitable) cells. We introduce a scalar phase model for coupled oscillators and excitable cells. We first show that one excitable and one oscillatory cell will exhibit phase locking at a variety of $m:n$ patterns. We next introduce a second oscillatory cell and show that the only attractor is synchrony between the oscillators. We will also study the robustness to heterogeneity when excitable cell fires or is quiescent. We next examine the dynamics when the oscillators are coupled via two excitable cells. In this case, the dynamics are very complicated with many forms of bistability and, in some cases, chaotic behavior. We also apply weak coupling analysis to this case and explain some of the degeneracies observed in the bifurcation diagram. We also look at pairs of oscillators coupled via long chains of excitable cells and show that small differences in the frequency of the oscillators makes their locking more robust. Finally, we demonstrate many of the same phenomena seen in the phase model for a gap-junction coupled system of Morris-Lecar neurons.

description: We used a risk matrix approach (Papathoma-Koehle et al., 2016) to develop heat-related hazard, impact, and risk maps.  We used satellite-derived land surface temperatures (MODIS LSTs) to cope with the need of having fine horizontal resolution for the climate index. We have defined the impact index as emergency (paramedic) interventions for daytime and nighttime, from the period June-August 2012-2017 (SMURD – Emergency Situation Inspectorate Bucuresti-Ilfov) and June-August 2018 (Service of Ambulance Bucuresti-Ilfov). The urban heat island index is defined by the night and day-time averaged values of MODIS-derived LST at 1-km resolution for the periods June-August 2012-2017 and June-August 2018. The paramedic interventions related to heat stress were georeferenced and aggregated at 1-km resolution The risk matrix allows us to define which are the acceptable and non-acceptable levels of heat-related risk under the identified levels of hazard and impact. Both day and nighttime risk maps shows higher levels of risk in the Eastern part of the town, where blocks of flats dominate the urban skyline. However, it is difficult to attribute these results to a specific factor or set of factors, at this stage. The results suggest that emergency service and local administration must implement risk reduction measures related to heat stress especially in the administrative units Sectors 2 and Sector 3 of Bucharest.  However, our exercise has identified several data challenges and suggests ways to define, collect, monitor, and predict specific heat and public health indices in the process of risk reduction management in large urban agglomerations under climate change. The risk maps for day and nighttime need further work to better capture the hotspots with higher risks of heat stress in Bucharest and to effectively serve urban planners, emergency service and other institutions from central and local administration.ReferencePapathoma-Koehle M,, Promper C, Bojariu R, Cica R, Sik A, Perge K, Laszlo P, Czikora EB, Dumitrescu A, Turcus C, Birsan MV, Velea L, Glade T., 2016: A common methodology for risk assessment and mapping for south-east Europe: an application for heat wave risk in Romania, Nat Hazards, 82, pp. 89-109, doi 10.1007/s11069-016-2291-3.
Short-time critical dynamics

description: An introductory review to short-time critical dynamics is given. From the scaling relation valid already in the early stage of the evolution of a system at or near the critical point, one derives power law behaviour for various quantities. By a numerical simulation of the system one can measure the critical exponents and, by searching for the best power law behaviour, one can determine the critical point. Critical slowing down as well as finite size corrections are nearly absent, since the correlation length is still small for times far before equilibrium is reached. By measuring the (pseudo) critical points it is also possible to distinguish (weak) first-order from second-order phase transitions.

description: When functioning properly, interactive learning modules are great for student engagement, but when the technology falls short, precious class time is wasted and learning objectives may go unmet. This speaker will tell the story of how a clerical error resulted in a technological meltdown during library instruction. She will share how she came to view the incident as a useful failure because she learned to: Accept that not every problem can be anticipated; always have a Plan B; and be patient with tech support. More than that, she came to realize that testing web-based learning modules in class is a prudent step to take before using these tools to flip the classroom or teach online.

description: It has long been an aspirational goal to create artificial structures that allow fast permeation of water but reject even the smallest hydrated ions, replicating the feat achieved by nature in protein channels (e.g., aquaporins). Despite recent progress in creating nanoscale pores and capillaries, these structures still remain distinctly larger than protein channels. We report capillaries made by effectively extracting one atomic plane from bulk crystals, which leaves a two-dimensional slit of a few angstroms in height. Water moves through these capillaries with little resistance, whereas no permeation could be detected even for such small ions as Na+ and Cl-. Only protons (H+) can diffuse through monolayer water inside the capillaries. These observations improve our understanding of molecular transport at the atomic scale.

description: Quantum entanglement plays an important role in quantum information processes, such as quantum computation and quantum communication. Experiments in laboratories are unquestionably crucial to increase our understanding of quantum systems and inspire new insights into future applications. However, there are no general recipes for the creation of arbitrary quantum states with many particles entangled in high dimensions. Here, we exploit a recent connection between quantum experiments and graph theory and answer this question for a plethora of classes of entangled states. We find experimental setups for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, W states, general Dicke states, and asymmetrically high-dimensional multipartite entangled states. This result sheds light on the producibility of arbitrary quantum states using photonic technology with probabilistic pair sources and allows us to understand the underlying technological and fundamental properties of entanglement.

description: Root hydraulic properties are key physiological traits that determine the capacity of root systems to take up water, at a specific evaporative demand. They can strongly vary among species, cultivars or even within the same genotype, but a systematic analysis of their variation across plant functional types (PFTs) is still missing. Here, we reviewed published empirical studies on root hydraulic properties at the segment-, individual root-, or root system scale and determined its variability and the main factors contributing to it.We observed an extremely large range of variation (of orders of magnitude) in root hydraulic properties, but this was not caused by systematic differences among PFTs. Rather, the (combined) effect of factors such as root system age, driving force used for measurement, or stress treatments shaped the results. We found a significant decrease in root hydraulic properties under stress conditions (drought and aquaporin inhibition) and a significant effect of the driving force used for measurement (hydrostatic or osmotic gradients). Furthermore, whole root system conductance increased significantly with root system age across several crop species, causing very large variation in the data (> 2 orders of magnitude). Interestingly, this relationship showed an asymptotic shape, with a steep increase during the first days of growth and a flattening out at later stages of development. This behaviour was also observed in simulations with computational plant models, suggesting common patterns across studies and species.These findings provide better understanding of the main causes of root hydraulic properties variations observed across empirical studies. They also open the door to better representation of hydraulic processes across multiple plant functional types and at large scales. All data collected in our analysis has been aggregated into an open access database (https://roothydraulic-properties.shinyapps.io/database/), fostering scientific exchange
