description: Pulsars are rotating neutron stars which emit lighthouse-like beams. Owing to their unique properties, pulsars are a unique astrophysical tool to test general relativity, inform on matter at extreme densities, and probe galactic magnetic fields. Understanding pulsars physics and emission mechanisms is critical to these applications. Here we uncover that mechanical-optical rotation in the pulsars' magnetosphere affects polarisation in a way which is indiscernible from Faraday rotation in the interstellar medium for typical GHz observations frequency, but which can be distinguished in the sub-GHz band. Besides being essential to correct for possible systematic errors in interstellar magnetic field estimates, our novel interpretation of pulsar polarimetry data offers a unique means to determine whether pulsars rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, providing new constraints on magnetospheric physics and possible emission mechanisms. Combined with the ongoing development of sub-GHz observation capabilities, our finding promises new discoveries, such as the spatial distributions of clockwise rotating or counterclockwise rotating pulsars, which could exhibit potentially interesting, but presently invisible, correlations or features.

description: Objectives: Potential opportunities and challenges of predictive genetic risk classification of healthy persons are currently discussed. However, the budgetary impact of rising demand is uncertain. This project aims to evaluate budgetary consequences of predictive genetic risk classification for statutory health insurance in Germany. Methods: A Markov model was developed in the form of a cohort simulation. It analyzes a population of female relatives of hereditary breast cancer patients. Mutation carriers are offered intensified screening, women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation can decide on prophylactic mastectomy and/or ovarectomy. The model considers the following scenarios: (a) steady demand for predictive genetic testing, and (b) rising demand. Most input parameters are based on data of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. The model contains 49 health states, starts in 2015, and runs for 10 years. Prices were evaluated from the perspective of statutory health insurance. Results: Steady demand leads to an expenditure of €49.8 million during the 10-year period. Rising demands lead to additional expenses of €125.5 million. The model reveals the genetic analysis to be the main cost driver while cost savings in treatment costs of breast and ovarian cancer are indicated. Conclusions: The results contribute to close the knowledge gap concerning the budgetary consequences due to genetic risk classification. A rising demand leads to additional costs especially due to costs for genetic analysis. The model indicates budget shifts with cost savings due to breast and ovarian cancer treatment in the scenario of rising demands.

This gives a new formula for q-supernomial coefficients. Along the way we prove that the spaces of coinvariants form a bundle over the configuration space of complex points (the configuration space includes diagonals).

description: Sensory evaluation is used to assess the consumer acceptance of foods or other consumer products, so as to improve industrial processes and marketing strategies. The procedures currently involved are time-consuming because they require a statistical approach from measurements and feedback reports from a wide set of evaluators under a well-established measurement setup. In this paper, we propose to collect directly the signal of the perceived quality of the food from Event-related potentials (ERPs) that are the outcome of the processing of visual stimuli. This permits to narrow the number of evaluators since errors related to psychological factors are by-passed. We present the design of a wearable system for ERP measurement and we present preliminary results on the use of ERP to give a quantitative measure to the appearance of a food product. The system is developed to be wearable and our experiments demonstrate that is possible to use it to identify and classify the grade of acceptance of the food.

description: We investigate a quantum algorithm which simulates efficiently the quantum kicked rotator model, a system which displays rich physical properties, and enables to study problems of quantum chaos, atomic physics and localization of electrons in solids. The effects of errors in gate operations are tested on this algorithm in numerical simulations with up to 20 qubits. In this way various physical quantities are investigated. Some of them, such as second moment of probability distribution and tunneling transitions through invariant curves are shown to be particularly sensitive to errors. However, investigations of the fidelity and Wigner and Husimi distributions show that these physical quantities are robust in presence of imperfections. This implies that the algorithm can simulate the dynamics of quantum chaos in presence of a moderate amount of noise.

description: The recent discovery of higher-order topological insulators (TIs) has opened new possibilities in the search for novel topological materials and metamaterials. Second-order TIs have been implemented in two-dimensional (2D) systems exhibiting topological 'corner states', as well as three-dimensional (3D) systems having one-dimensional (1D) topological 'hinge states'. Third-order TIs, which have topological states three dimensions lower than the bulk (which must thus be 3D or higher), have not yet been reported. Here, we describe the realization of a third-order TI in an anisotropic diamond-lattice acoustic metamaterial. The bulk acoustic bandstructure has nontrivial topology characterized by quantized Wannier centers. By direct acoustic measurement, we observe corner states at two corners of a rhombohedron-like structure, as predicted by the quantized Wannier centers. This work extends topological corner states from 2D to 3D, and may find applications in novel acoustic devices.

description: A Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function (R2F) is a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ with the property that for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v)=0$ there is a neighbor $u$ of $v$ with $f(u)=2$, or there are two neighbors $x,y$ of $v$ with $f(x)=f(y)=1$. A total Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function (TR2DF) is an R2F $f$ such that the set of vertices with $f(v)>0$ induce a subgraph with no isolated vertices. The weight of a TR2DF is the sum of its function values over all vertices, and the minimum weight of a TR2DF of $G$ is the total Roman $\{2\}$-domination number $γ_{tR2}(G).$ In this paper, we initiate the study of total Roman $\{2\}$-dominating functions, where properties are established. Moreover, we present various bounds on the total Roman $\{2\}$-domination number. We also show that the decision problem associated with $γ_{tR2}(G)$ is NP-complete for bipartite and chordal graphs. {Moreover, we show that it is possible to compute this parameter in linear time for bounded clique-width graphs (including tres).}

description: The probable association with GRB 980425 immediately put SN 1998bw at the forefront of supernova research. Here, we present revised late-time BVRI light curves of the supernova, based on template images taken at the VLT. To follow the supernova to the very last observable phases we have used HST/STIS. Deep images taken in June and November 2000 are compared to images taken in August 2001. The identification of the supernova is firmly established. This allows us to measure the light curve to about 1000 days past explosion. The main features are a rapid decline up to more than 500 days after explosion, with no sign of complete positron trapping from the Cobolt-56 decay. Thereafter, the light curve flattens out significantly. One possible explanation is powering by more long lived radioactive isotopes, if they are abundantly formed in this energetic supernova.

description: Using cylindrical coordinates, we consider position-dependent mass (PDM) charged particles moving under the influence of magnetic, Aharonov-Bohm flux, and a pseudoharmonic or a generalized Killingbeck-type potential fields. We implement the PDM-minimal-coupling recipe 26, along with the PDM-momentum operator 27, and report separability under radial cylindrical and azimuthal symmetrization settings. For the radial Schrödinger part, we transform it into a radial one-dimensional Schrödinger-type and use two PDM settings to report on the exact solvability of PDM charged particles moving in three fields: magnetic, Aharonov-Bohm flux, and pseudoharmonic potential fields. Next, we consider the radial Schrödinger part as is and use the biconfluent Heun differential forms for two PDM settings to report on the conditionally exact solvability of our PDM charged particles moving in three fields: magnetic, Aharonov-Bohm flux, and generalized Killingbeck potential fields. Yet, we report the spectral signatures of the one-dimensional z-dependent Schrödinger part on the overall eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, for all examples, using two z-dependent potential models (infinite potential well and Morse-type potentials).

description: We propose a general framework for computer-assisted verification of the presence of symmetry breaking, period-tupling and touch-and-go bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits for reversible maps. The framework is then adopted to Poincaré maps in reversible autonomous Hamiltonian systems. In order to justify the applicability of the method, we study bifurcations of halo orbits in the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem. We give a computer-assisted proof of the existence of wide branches of halo orbits bifurcating from $L_{1,2,3}$-Lyapunov families and for wide range of mass parameter. For two physically relevant mass parameters we prove, that halo orbits undergo multiple period doubling, quadrupling and third-order touch-and-go bifurcations.

description: `Old' String Theory is a theory of one-dimensional extended objects, whose vibrations correspond to excitations of various target-space field modes including gravity. In these lectures I will give an introduction to low-energy Effective Target-Space Actions derived from conformal invariance conditions of the underlying sigma models in string theory, discuss cosmology, emphasizing the role of the dilaton field in inducing inflationary scenaria and in general expanding string universes. Specifically, I shall analyse some exact solutions of string theory with a linear dilaton, and discuss their role in inducing expanding Robertson-Walker Universes. I will mention briefly pre-Big-Bang scenaria of String Cosmology, in which the dilaton plays a crucial role. In view of recent claims on experimental evidence on the existence of cosmic acceleration in the universe today, with a positive non-zero cosmological constant (de Sitter type), I shall also discuss difficulties of incorporating such Universes with eternal acceleration in the context of critical string theory, and present scenaria for a graceful exit from such a phase.

description: Langlands provides a formula for certain product of orbital integrals in $GL(2, \mathbb{Q})$. Its generalization has become an important question for the strategy of Beyond Endoscopy. Arthur predicts this formula should coincide with a product of polynomials associated to zeta functions of orders constructed by Zhiwei Yun. In this paper we compute, for a certain family of orders, explicit formulas for these zeta functions by a recursive method. We use these zeta functions in a further paper to prove that Arthur's prediction is correct.

description: We show that simple diffusive systems, such as the Lorentz gas and multibaker maps are perfectly compatible with the laws of irreversible thermodynamics, despite the fact that the moving particles, or their equivalents, in these models do not interact with each other, and that the dynamics takes place in low-dimensional phase spaces. The interaction of moving particles with scatterers provides the dynamical mechanism responsible for an approach to equilibrium, under appropriate conditions. This analysis provides a refutation of the criticisms expressed recently by Cohen and Rondoni [Physica A 306 (2002) 117-128].

description: Attributing responsibilities to a group of agents who contribute to a collective causeis common in our daily life. While we as humans could relatively efficiently assignresponsibility to others using our intuition, the wide range of possible scenarios andcomplexity of our cognitive mechanisms should not be overlooked. Understandingof how rational responsibility judgments are made could expand our knowledgeabout human causal and moral reasoning. Over recent years, a few theories havebeen developed to account for responsibility attribution, but they have various theoreticaland empirical limitations. In this thesis, an extended computational modelis proposed in an effort to expand the explanatory power of previous models. Wedevised two sets of experiments to test the performance of this newmodel, especiallywith regards to aspects including (1) epistemic state of rater, (2) perceived autonomyof agents, and (3) value range of contributions. Our results suggest that the newmodel demonstrated reasonable power in predicting responsibility attribution, albeitwith several unexpected inaccuracies. The close relationship among responsibility,criticality, and pivotality is nonetheless supported.

description: We investigate toy dynamical models of energy-level repulsion in quantum eigenvalue sequences. We focus on parametric (with respect to a running coupling or "complexity" parameter) stochastic processes that are capable of relaxing towards a stationary regime (e. g. equilibrium, invariant asymptotic measure). In view of ergodic property, that makes them appropriate for the study of short-range fluctuations in any disordered, randomly-looking spectral sequence (as exemplified e. g. by empirical nearest-neighbor spacings histograms of various quantum systems). The pertinent Markov diffusion-type processes (with values in the space of spacings) share a general form of forward drifts $b(x) = {{N-1}\over {2x}} - x$, where $x>0$ stands for the spacing value. Here $N = 2,3,5$ correspond to the familiar (generic) random-matrix theory inspired cases, based on the exploitation of the Wigner surmise (usually regarded as an approximate formula). N=4 corresponds to the (non-generic) non-Hermitian Ginibre ensemble. The result appears to be exact in the context of $2\times 2$ random matrices and indicates a potential validity of other non-generic $N>5$ level repulsion laws.

description: We have carried out a multi-epoch simultaneous survey of 22 GHz H$_2$O and 44 GHz Class I CH$_3$OH masers toward 103 ultracompact HII regions (UCHIIs) between 2010 and 2017. We detected H$_2$O and CH$_3$OH maser emission in 74 (72%) and 55 (53%) UCHIIs, respectively. Among them, 3 H$_2$O and 27 CH$_3$OH maser sources are new detections. These high detection rates suggest that the occurrence periods of both maser species are significantly overlapped with the UCHII phase of massive star formation. The CH$_3$OH maser lines always have small (< 10 km s$^{-1}$) relative velocities with respect to the natal molecular cores, while H$_2$O maser lines often show larger relative velocities. Twenty four H$_2$O maser-detected sources have maser lines at relative velocities > 30 km s$^{-1}$, and thirteen of them show extremely high-velocity (> 50 km s$^{-1}$) components. The appearance and disappearance of H$_2$O maser lines are quite frequent over six-month or one-year time intervals. In contrast, CH$_3$OH maser lines usually do not exhibit significant variations in the line intensity, velocity, or shape for the same periods. The isotropic luminosities of both masers appear to correlate with the bolometric luminosities of the central stars. This correlation becomes much stronger in the case that data points in the low- and intermediate-mass regimes are added. The maser luminosities also tend to increase with the radio continuum luminosities of UCHIIs and the submillimeter continuum luminosities of the associated dense cores.

An Inversion Method for Measuring Beta in Large Redshift Surveys

description: A precision method for determining the value of Beta= Omega_m^{0.6}/b, where b is the galaxy bias parameter, is presented. In contrast to other existing techniques that focus on estimating this quantity by measuring distortions in the redshift space galaxy-galaxy correlation function or power spectrum, this method removes the distortions by reconstructing the real space density field and determining the value of Beta that results in a symmetric signal. To remove the distortions, the method modifies the amplitudes of a Fourier plane-wave expansion of the survey data parameterized by Beta. This technique is not dependent on the small-angle/plane-parallel approximation and can make full use of large redshift survey data. It has been tested using simulations with four different cosmologies and returns the value of Beta to +/- 0.031, over a factor of two improvement over existing techniques.

description: Rhipicephalus ticks are competent vectors of several pathogens, such as Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae (SFGR) and many Babesia species. Within this genus, different R. sanguineus s.l. lineages show an unequal vector competence and resistance regarding some pathogenic strains. Current literature supports that tick endosymbionts may play an essential role in the transmission ability of a vector. Indeed, the microbial community of Rhipicephalus seems to be dominated by Coxiella-like endosymbionts. Still, their co-evolutionary associations with the complicated phylogeny of Rhipicephalus lineages and their transmissible pathogens remain unclear. We performed a phylogenetic congruence analysis to address whether divergent R. sanguineus s.l. lineages had a different symbiont composition, which can ultimately affect their vectorial potential. For that, we applied a PCR based approach to screen part of the microbial community present in 279 Rhipicephalus ticks from the Iberian Peninsula and Africa. Our analyses detected several qPCR-positive signals for both SFGR and Babesia species, of which we suggest R. sanguineus-tropical lineage as a natural vector of Babesia vogeli and R. sanguineus-temperate lineage of SFGR. However, only the acquisition of 190 Coxiella-like endosymbionts sequences allowed us to evaluate co-phylogenetic associations between the tick and a symbiont. With this data, we observed a strong but incomplete co-evolutionary pattern between CLE strains and their Rhipicephalus tick lineages hosts. These results support a complex co-evolutionary differentiation within the main endosymbionts of Rhipicephalus ticks, which need to be studied further to clarify its implication on the different vector competence shown by Rhipicephalus tick lineages.
Echoes in classical dynamical systems

description: Echoes arise when external manipulations to a system induce a reversal of its time evolution that leads to a more or less perfect recovery of the initial state. We discuss the accuracy with which a cloud of trajectories returns to the initial state in classical dynamical systems that are exposed to additive noise and small differences in the equations of motion for forward and backward evolution. The cases of integrable and chaotic motion and small or large noise are studied in some detail and many different dynamical laws are identified. Experimental tests in 2-d flows that show chaotic advection are proposed.

description: We introduce NLK, a model that connects the Nash equilibrium (NE) and Level-K. It allows a player in a game to believe that her opponent may be either less or as sophisticated as, she is, a view supported in psychology. We apply NLK to data from five published papers on static, dynamic, and auction games. NLK provides different predictions than those of the NE and Level-K; moreover, a simple version of NLK explains the experimental data better in many cases, with the same or lower number of parameters. We discuss extensions to games with more than two players and heterogeneous beliefs.

description: We examine the $χ^2$ test for binned, Gaussian samples, including effects due to the fact that the experimentally available sample standard deviation and the unavailable true standard deviation have different statistical properties. For data formed by binning Gaussian samples with bin size $n$, we find that the expected value and standard deviation of the reduced $χ^2$ statistic is \begin{equation} \frac{n-1}{n-3}\pm \frac{n-1}{n-3}\sqrt{\frac{n-2}{n-5}}\sqrt{\frac{2}{N-1}}, \end{equation} where $N$ is the total number of binned values. This is strictly larger in both mean and standard deviation than the value of $1\pm (2/(N-1))^{1/2}$ reported in standard treatments, which ignore the distinction between true and sample standard deviation.

 Myrmica rubra var. mutata Sadil, 1952: 242, Fig. I (original description).
The holotype is deposited in NMPC (dry-mounted, glued on a rectangular card label):
HOLOTYPE (♀): ‘KOTELNÉ JÁMY / 15.–16.VI. Boh. / Dr. Obenberger [p] // Holotype [tw, red frame submarginally]
/ M. r. var. mutata [underlined] Sadil´51 // Mus. Nat. Pragae, Inv. [p] 3403 [hw]’.
 Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Myrmica ruginodis Nylander, 1846 according to RADCHENKO & ELMES (2010).
 Remarks. As clearly follows from the text of the original description, this taxon was described based on a single specimen: “Form ascertained by me unfortunately only in one specimen (worker) in the material of ants deposited in the collections of the National Museum in Prague, labelled Kotelné Jámy, Krkonoše 15-6-1926 Bohemia, Dr. Obenberger. I am well aware that to establish a new form on the basis of the deviating characters of one ♀ is a very problematical thing, especially in such a variable genus as the genus Myrmica Latr. ” (SADIL 1952).

description: Nanolayer stacks are technologically very relevant for current and future applications in many fields of research. A non-destructive characterization of such systems is often performed using X-ray reflectometry (XRR). For complex stacks of multiple layers, low electron density contrast materials or very thin layers without any pronounced angular minima, this requires a full modeling of the XRR data. As such modeling is using the thicknesses, the densities and the roughnesses of each layer as parameters, this approach quickly results in a large number of free parameters. In consquence, cross-correlation effects or interparameter dependencies can falsify the modeling results. Here, we present a route for validation of such modeling results which is based on the reference-free grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence (GIXRF) methodology. In conjunction with the radiometrically calibrated instrumentation of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt the method allows for reference-free quantification of the elemental mass depositions. In addition, a modeling approach of reference-free GIXRF-XRR data is presented, which takes advantage of the quantifiable elemental mass depositions by distributing them depth dependently. This approach allows for a reduction of the free model parameters. Both the validation capabilities and the combined reference-free GIXRF-XRR modeling are demonstrated using several nanoscale layer stacks consisting of HfO$_2$ and Al$_2$O$_3$ layers.

description: Large Language Model (LLM) assistants, such as ChatGPT, have emerged as potential alternatives to search methods for helping users navigate complex, feature-rich software. LLMs use vast training data from domain-specific texts, software manuals, and code repositories to mimic human-like interactions, offering tailored assistance, including step-by-step instructions. In this work, we investigated LLM-generated software guidance through a within-subject experiment with 16 participants and follow-up interviews. We compared a baseline LLM assistant with an LLM optimized for particular software contexts, SoftAIBot, which also offered guidelines for constructing appropriate prompts. We assessed task completion, perceived accuracy, relevance, and trust. Surprisingly, although SoftAIBot outperformed the baseline LLM, our results revealed no significant difference in LLM usage and user perceptions with or without prompt guidelines and the integration of domain context. Most users struggled to understand how the prompt's text related to the LLM's responses and often followed the LLM's suggestions verbatim, even if they were incorrect. This resulted in difficulties when using the LLM's advice for software tasks, leading to low task completion rates. Our detailed analysis also revealed that users remained unaware of inaccuracies in the LLM's responses, indicating a gap between their lack of software expertise and their ability to evaluate the LLM's assistance. With the growing push for designing domain-specific LLM assistants, we emphasize the importance of incorporating explainable, context-aware cues into LLMs to help users understand prompt-based interactions, identify biases, and maximize the utility of LLM assistants.
