description: Neuronal cells change their growth properties in response to external physical stimuli such as variations in external temperature, stiffness of the growth substrate, or topographical guidance cues. Detailed knowledge of the mechanisms that control these biomechanical responses is necessary for understanding the basic principles that underlie neuronal growth and regeneration. Here, we present elasticity maps of living cortical neurons (embryonic rat) as a function of temperature, and correlate these maps to the locations of internal structural components of the cytoskeleton. Neurons display a significant increase in the average elastic modulus upon a decrease in ambient temperature from 37°C to 25°C. We demonstrate that the dominant mechanism by which the elasticity of the neurons changes in response to temperature is the stiffening of the actin components of the cytoskeleton induced by myosin II. We also report a reversible shift in the location and composition of the high-stiffness areas of the neuron cytoskeleton with temperature. At 37°C the areas of the cell displaying high elastic modulus overlap with the tubulin-dense regions, while at 25°C these high-stiffness areas correspond to the actin-dense regions of the cytoskeleton. These results demonstrate the importance of considering temperature effects when investigating cytoskeletal dynamics in cells.

description: 3D maps of the ISM can be used to locate not only IS clouds, but also IS bubbles between the clouds that are blown by stellar winds and supernovae. We compare our 3D maps of the IS dust to the ROSAT diffuse X-ray background maps. In the Plane, there is a good correspondence between the locations and extents of the mapped nearby cavities and the 0.25 keV background emission distribution, showing that most of these nearby cavities contribute to this soft X-ray emission. Assuming a constant dust to gas ratio and homogeneous 1MK hot gas filling the cavities, we modeled in a simple way the 0.25 keV surface brightness along the Galactic plane as seen from the Sun, taking into account the absorption by the mapped clouds. The data-model comparison favors the existence of hot gas in the Local Bubble (LB). The average mean pressure in the local cavities is found to be on the order of about 10,000 cm-3K, in agreement with previous studies. The model overestimates the emission from the huge cavities in the 3rd quadrant. Using CaII absorption data, we show that the dust to CaII ratio is very small in this region, implying the presence of a large quantity of lower temperature (non-X-ray emitting) ionized gas, explaining at least part of the discrepancy. In the meridian plane, the two main brightness enhancements coincide well with the chimneys connecting the LB to the halo. No nearby cavity is found towards the bright North Polar Spur (NPS) at high latitude. We searched in the maps for the source regions of the 0.75 keV enhancements in the 4th and 1st quadrants. Tunnels and cavities are found to coincide with the main bright areas, however no tunnel nor cavity is found to match the low-latitude, brightest part of the NPS. In addition, the comparison between the maps and published spectra do not favor the nearby cavities located within about 200pc as potential source regions for the NPS.

description: The recent observation of $^4$He favors a large lepton asymmetry at the big bang nucleosynthesis. If Q-balls with a lepton charge decay after the electroweak phase transition, such a large lepton asymmetry can be generated without producing too large baryon asymmetry. In this scenario, Q-balls dominate the universe before the decay and induces the sharp transition from the early matter-dominated era to the radiation-dominated era. In this transition, the gravitational waves (GWs) are enhanced through a second-order effect of the scalar perturbations. We evaluate the density of the produced GWs and show that pulsar timing array observations can probe this scenario depending on the amplitude of the scalar perturbations.

description: We study the effects of non-holomprphic soft SUSY-breaking terms added to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) on the Higgs-boson masses. The calculation of the non-holomorphic contributions is perfromed at the one-loop level in the Feynman diagramatic approach. After generating a FeynArts model file with the help of SARAH, we calculate the renormalized Higgs-boson self-energies at the one-loop level using the FeynArts/FormCalc setup. The results obtained from FeynArts/FormCalc are fed to FeynHiggs to estimate the contributions to the neutral CP-even Higgs-boson masses, $M_{h,H}$, as well as to the charged Higgs-boson mass, $M_{H^{\pm}}$. For the specific set of parameter points that we choose for this study, the non-holomorphic soft-term contributions to the CP-even light Higgs boson mass $M_h$, contrary to claims in the literature, turn out to be very small. For the CP-even heavy Higgs boson mass, $M_{H}$, as well as for the charged Higgs boson mass, $M_{H^{\pm}}$, the contributions can be substantially larger for some parts of parameter space.

description: Rapid and broad-scale forest mortality associated with recent droughts, rising temperature, and insect outbreaks has been observed over western North America (NA). Climate models project additional future warming and increasing drought and water stress for this region. To assess future potential changes in vegetation distributions in western NA, the Community Earth System Model (CESM) coupled with its Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) was used under the future A2 emissions scenario. To better span uncertainties in future climate, eight sea surface temperature (SST) projections provided by phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) were employed as boundary conditions. There is a broad consensus among the simulations, despite differences in the simulated climate trajectories across the ensemble, that about half of the needleleaf evergreen tree coverage (from 24% to 11%) will disappear, coincident with a 14% (from 11% to 25%) increase in shrubs and grasses by the end of the twenty-first century in western NA, with most of the change occurring over the latter half of the twenty-first century. The net impact is a ~6 GtC or about 50% decrease in projected ecosystem carbon storage in this region. The findings suggest a potential for a widespread shift from tree-dominated landscapes to shrub and grass-dominated landscapes in western NA because of future warming and consequent increases in water deficits. These results highlight the need for improved process-based understanding of vegetation dynamics, particularly including mortality and the subsequent incorporation of these mechanisms into earth system models to better quantify the vulnerability of western NA forests under climate change.
Is it healthy or unhealthy? The impact of conflicting health-related information on attentional resources
Creators: name: Barnwell, Patrick
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Although exposure to conflicting health-related information has been described as a growing problem worldwide (Carpenter et al., 2016), limited research has been conducted investigating the cognitive impact of such information. In a review conducted by Fan (2014), it was suggested that individuals exert greater cognitive effort when attending to conflicting information compared to congruent information. Therefore, individuals may employ strategies that are less cognitively burdensome after encountering conflicting information as a result of the limited availability of cognitive resources (Carpenter et al., 2016; Metzger & Flanagin, 2013). Although these strategies assist in the management of resources, they can greatly narrow the scope and/or depth of information processing, which may result in a degradation of performance. This reduction in functioning may have important implications for the ways in which individuals are capable of attending to health-related information, attaining related knowledge, and making important health decisions (Carpenter et al., 2016). Therefore, the main purpose of the study presented in this thesis was to test the relationship between conflicting health-related information exposure and attentional mechanisms, indexed by the Attentional Network Test (ANT, Fan et al., 2002). We proposed three main hypotheses: 1) exposure to conflicting health-related information (CHRI) would increase response errors during the ANT compared to participants assigned to the no conflicting health-related information (N-CHRI) condition, 2) exposure to CHRI would decrease the efficiency of each of the ANT systems (i.e., alerting, orienting, and execute control) compared to the N-CHRI condition, and 3) exposure to CHRI would increase self-reported workload, indexed by the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX, Hart & Staveland, 1988), after completion of the ANT. Data from 184 online participants were analyzed to investigate these hypotheses. The participants were randomly assigned to read an article containing either congruent or conflicting health-related information. Subsequently, they completed the ANT and NASA-TLX. Participants in the CHRI condition produced more errors and slower reaction times on the ANT, and reported higher levels of workload. Consistent with prior research (Nagler et al. 2019; Nagler, 2014), CHRI participants also reported greater feelings of nutritional confusion and backlash directed at nutritional recommendations and research after being exposed to the conflicting information. The results from these analyses suggest that exposure to conflicted-health related information has the potential to impact attentional mechanisms responsible for accurate and prompt responding to incoming information. While further investigation is certainly needed to better understand this relationship and the potential associated consequences, the findings presented in this thesis can serve as a valuable starting point.

description: We build an effective-one-body (EOB) Hamiltonian at third post-Newtonian (3PN) order in scalar-tensor (ST) and Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) theories of gravity. The latter is an extension of general relativity that predicts scalar hair for black holes. We start from the known two-body Lagrangian at 3PN order, and use order-reduction methods to construct its ordinary Hamiltonian counterpart. We then reduce the conservative two-body dynamics to the (nongeodesic) motion of a test particle in an effective metric by means of canonical transformations. The resulting EOB Hamiltonian is a modification of the general relativistic Hamiltonian, and already at 3PN order, it must account for nonlocal-in-time tail contributions. We include the latter beyond circular orbits and up to sixth order in the binary's orbital eccentricity. We finally calculate the orbital frequency at the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of binary black holes in the shift-symmetric ESGB model. Our work extends F.L. Julié and N. Deruelle [Phys. Rev. D 95, 124054 (2017)], and it is an essential step toward the accurate modeling of gravitational waveforms beyond general relativity.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Gonia bimaculata Wiedemann, 1819 (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 258).
REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 35) described Gonia cilipeda from two males and two females: “ Exemplaria duo mascula et unum foemina … a me capta fuerunt, et alteram foeminam speciei a D. Schembri accepi [two male specimens and one female … were collected by me, and I received another female of the species from D. Schembri]”. We found just three syntypes in this study: two males in the MZUF and one female in the MSNC. The additional female syntype is presumed lost. Not included in the MZUF type series are an additional two specimens: one numbered “467” and dated “8.4.[18]77”, which is subsequent to the original description, and a female numbered “467” from “ Sicilia ” [= Sicily], which is not the type locality.

description: Quantum discrete-time walkers have, since their introduction, demonstrated applications in algorithmic and in modeling and simulating a wide range of transport phenomena. They have long been considered the discrete-time and discrete space analogue of the Dirac equation and have been used as a primitive to simulate quantum field theories precisely because of some of their internal symmetries. In this paper we introduce a new family of quantum walks, said twisted, which admits, as continuous limit, a generalized Dirac operator equipped with a dispersion term. Moreover, this quadratic term in the energy spectrum acts as an effective mass, leading to a regularization of the well known Fermion doubling problem.

description: Monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides possess broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling, which leads to unique spin-valley locking effect. In 2H stacked pristine multilayers, the spin-valley locking yields an electronic superlattice structure, where alternating layers correspond to barrier and quantum well respectively, conditioned on the spin-valley indices. Here, we show that the spin-valley locked superlattice hosts a new kind of dipolar excitons with the electron and hole constituents separated in an every-other-layer configuration, i.e., either in two even or two odd layers. Such excitons become optically bright via hybridization with intralayer excitons, displaying multiple anti-crossing patterns in optical reflection spectrum as the dipolar exciton is tuned through the intralayer resonance by electric field. The reflectance spectra also reveal an excited state orbital of the every-other-layer exciton, pointing to a sizable binding energy in the same order of magnitude as the intralayer exciton. As layer thickness increases, the dipolar exciton can form one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chain displaying a layer number dependent fine-structures in the reflectance spectra. Our work reveals a distinct valleytronic superlattice with highly tunable dipolar excitons for exploring light-matter interactions.

description: The formation of correlated structures is of importance in many diverse contexts such as strongly coupled plasmas, soft matter, and even biological mediums. In all these contexts the dynamics are mainly governed by electrostatic interactions and result in the formation of a variety of structures. In this study, the process of formation of structures is investigated with the help of Molecular (MD) simulations in 2 and 3 dimensions. The overall medium has been modelled with an equal number of positive and negatively charged particles interacting via long-range pair Coulomb potential. A repulsive short-range Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential is added to take care of the blowing up of attractive Coulomb interaction between unlike charges. In the strongly coupled regime, a variety of classical bound states form. However, complete crystallization of the system, as typically observed in the context of one component strongly coupled plasmas, does not occur. The influence of localized perturbation in the system has also been studied. The formation of a crystalline pattern of shielding clouds around this disturbance is observed. The spatial properties of the shielding structure have been analyzed using the radial distribution function and Voronoi diagram. The process of accumulation of oppositely charged particles around the disturbance triggers a lot of dynamical activity in the bulk of the medium, wherein close encounters between widely separated particles occur. This leads to the formation of a larger number of bigger clusters. There are, however, also instances when bound pairs break up to provide the appropriate signed charge to the shielding cloud. A detailed discussion of these features has been provided in the manuscript.

description: IIA supergravity backgrounds preserving one supersymmetry locally admit four types of Killing spinors distinguished by the orbits of $Spin(9,1)$ on the space of spinors. We solve the Killing spinor equations of IIA supergravity with and without cosmological constant for Killing spinors representing two of these orbits, with isotropy groups $Spin(7)$ and $Spin(7)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^8$. In both cases, we identify the geometry of spacetime and express the fluxes in terms of the geometry. We find that the geometric constraints of backgrounds with a $Spin(7)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^8$ invariant Killing spinor are identical to those found for heterotic backgrounds preserving one supersymmetry.

Presumed Innocent, Yet Purged from the Rolls: Navigating Public Assistance Programs upon Release from Cook County Jail

description: In grappling with mass incarceration, many policymakers attempt to intervene during reentry, or the process of leaving jail or prison and “reentering” the community. Some of the more obvious reentry challenges include removal from welfare programs as a result of convictions, despite the fact that welfare programs can be beneficial for reentry. Because state and federal statutes create lifetime bans on welfare programs for people with convictions, policymakers focus on removing these bans. However, it is possible that barriers to public assistance exist regardless of having a conviction, evidenced by examining the pretrial population. These people leave jail without convictions, but are still often unequipped for what waits for them after hours, days, or months of being away from their lives due to pretrial detention. The pretrial population has been ignored in conversations about removal from or limited access to welfare programs during reentry. Because of that, I hope to highlight how pretrial detention affects this access through a case study on Cook County Jail. The bulk of my research comes from interviews with forty-one individuals, including bureaucrats from Cook County Jail jail and relevant welfare agencies, and people working with formerly incarcerated individuals at nonprofits and advocacy organizations. Overall, I find that pretrial detention produces formal and informal barriers for people trying to enroll in or maintain their enrollment in Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI upon release from Cook County Jail. Formal barriers are triggered by statutes and jail procedures, while informal barriers directly result from bureaucracy and on-the-ground practices. I ultimately recommend legislative action and the implementation of programmatic interventions at the jail. If the jail wants to facilitate better outcomes upon release and lower the likelihood of a return to jail, it has to be committed to combating these barriers produced by pretrial detention.

description: We constructed characteristic identities for the 3-split (polarized) Casimir operators of simple Lie algebras in the adjoint representations $\mathsf{ad}$ and deduced a certain class of subrepresentations in $\mathsf{ad}^{\otimes 3}$. The projectors onto invariant subspaces for these subrepresentations were directly constructed from the characteristic identities for the 3-split Casimir operators. For all simple Lie algebras, universal expressions for the traces of higher powers of the 3-split Casimir operators were found and dimensions of the subrepresentations in $\mathsf{ad}^{\otimes 3}$ were calculated. All our formulas are in agreement with the universal description of (irreducible) subrepresentations in $\mathsf{ad}^{\otimes 3}$ for simple Lie algebras in terms of the Vogel parameters.

description: The Time-Resolved Integrative Optical Neutron (TRION) detector was developed for Fast Neutron Resonance Radiography (FNRR), a fast-neutron transmission imaging method that exploits characteristic energy-variations of the total scattering cross-section in the En = 1-10 MeV range to detect specific elements within a radiographed object. As opposed to classical event-counting time of flight (ECTOF), it integrates the detector signal during a well-defined neutron Time of Flight window corresponding to a pre-selected energy bin, e.g., the energy-interval spanning a cross-section resonance of an element such as C, O and N. The integrative characteristic of the detector permits loss-free operation at very intense, pulsed neutron fluxes, at a cost however, of recorded temporal resolution degradation. This work presents a theoretical and experimental evaluation of detector related parameters which affect temporal resolution of the TRION system.

Testing magnetospheric accretion models for low mass young stars: Hydrogen lines in Lupus
Creators: name: Colmenares, Maria Jose
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The study of emission lines formed in the magnetospheric accretion flows around young stars allows us to constrain the thermal and geometrical properties of the flows, which can later help us to determine accretion rates more accurately. Our main goal is to prove the validity of the magnetospheric accretion models ( Muzerolle et al. 2001) by comparing theoretical fluxes with those calculated from observations. We use the de-reddened fluxes data from Alcalá et al.(2014,2017) of 37 stars from the Lupus region, ranging from K5 to M4, as well as the accretion rates calculated in that paper. We study Halpha, BrGamma and PaBeta, from which we conclude that for higher accretion rates the magnetosphere is cold, wide and close to the star and for lower accretion rates the flows are further away from the star, narrow and have higher temperatures; this can be seen throughout the three lines studied.

description: This report presents the results that emerged from the interviews conducted in the second phase of our empirical analysis (Stage B) in the project “Climate change integration in the multilevel governance of Italy and Austria”, financed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Research Südtirol 2019). The interviewees were selected based on the inputs provided by the project consortium and the results of the document collection (stage A of the data collection). The guiding criterion for mapping stakeholders was to achieve a balanced representation of the sectors covered in the project (transport, energy and water, and spatial planning) whilst capturing an institutional as well a non-institutional perspective. Each interview lasted approximately 1 hour and was based on the general interview guideline developed by Niccolò Bertuzzi on the basis of the collective inputs received from partners and the research questions of the project. Interviews were conducted in the period June-September 2021 by Niccolò Bertuzzi (Autonomous Province of Trento), Giada Giacomini (Autonomous Province of Bolzano) and Alice Meier (Länder of Tyrol and Vorarlberg). The interviews were conducted either in Italian or German via Zoom, recorded and stored in secure archives according to the privacy rules of each University/Research center involved. This report contains a summary of those interviews. It is written in a descriptive way and aims to highlight the main elements related to the policy sectors and dimensions considered in the project. There was a specific agreement with interviewees that authors should avoid direct quotations from the interviews, unless asking for specific permissions.

description: Quasiparticles and collective effects may have seemed exotic when first proposed in the 1930s, but their status has blossomed with their confirmation by todays sophisticated experiment techniques. Evidence has accumulated about the interactions of, say, magnons and rotons and with each other and also other quasiparticles. We briefly review the conjectures of their existence necessary to provide quantitative agreement with experiment which in the early period was their only reason for being. Phase transitions in the Anderson model, the Kondo effect, roton roton interactions, and highly correlated systems such as helium4, the Quantum Hall Effect, and BEC condensates are discussed. Some insulator and superconductor theories seem to suggest collective interactions of several quasiparticles may be necessary to explain the behavior. We conclude with brief discussions of the possibility of using the parameter to detect quantum critical points and some background on bound states emerging from the continuum. Finally, we present a summary and conclusions and also discuss possible future directions.

description: The effects of magnetic fields on accretion disks around compact objects are of high importance in the study of their general properties and dynamics. Here we analyze the influence of magnetic fields on thick accretion disks around rotating boson stars. We assume a uniform constant specific angular momentum distribution and a polytropic equation of state. The purely hydrodynamical thick disk solutions are extended to magnetized solutions by adding a toroidal magnetic field and then analyzed in terms of a magnetization parameter. We consider one-centered solutions as well as two-centered solutions and focus on retrograde tori, since they are more distinctive due to their unique properties. Our computed solutions indicate that strong magnetic fields influence the characteristics of thick disks around rotating boson stars and possibly affect their unique features.

description: Drought-induced tree mortality, including large-scale die-off events and increases in background rates of mortality, is a global phenomenon that can directly impact numerous earth system properties and ecosystem goods and services. Tree mortality is particularly of concern because of the likelihood that it will increase in frequency and extent with climate change. Recent plant science advances related to drought have focused on understanding the physiological mechanisms that not only affect plant growth and associated carbon metabolism, but also the more challenging issue of predicting plant mortality thresholds. Although some advances related to mechanisms of mortality have been made and have increased emphasis on interrelationships between carbon metabolism and plant hydraulics, notably few studies have specifically evaluated effects of increasing atmospheric demand for moisture on rates of tree death. In this opinion article we highlight the importance of considering the key risks of future large-scale tree die-off and other mortality events arising from increased VPD. Here we focus on mortality of trees, but our point about the importance of VPD is also relevant to other vascular plants.

Gonia cognata

description: Gonia cognata Rondani, 1859
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 32 (key), 38 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro parmensi [Parmese territory (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (dirty, covered with mold) (MZUF: Box 9): Cnephalia Rndn. / cognata Rnd., ♀ / 472; 1 ♂, syntype (missing head) (MSNC: Box DIPTERA Ex collezione Rondani - I): Spalanzania [sic!] cognata Rnd. ♂ Apenn. [= Apennines] / Coll. Rondani, scatola n° 4, posiz. H-2 / Museo di Storia Naturale Università di Pisa, Calci (PI) ex collezione Rondani.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Pseudogonia parisiaca (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851) (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 261).
REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 38) described both sexes of Gonia cognata without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Mas rarissimo lectus in agro parmensi, et hujus foemina semel inventa [The male collected very rarely and the female found once]”. We found two syntypes in this study. Rondani (1861e: 154) suggested that it could belong to Cnephalia Rondani, 1856 rather than to Gonia Meigen, 1803. In the MZUF this nominal species is under the generic name Cnephalia and in the MSNC under the generic name Spalanzania [sic!].

description: This is a study to investigate whether rhythmic stimulation at 10 Hz or 40 Hz can improve attention performance, and the mechanisms by which it might do so. The main questions addressed in this study are: (1) does sensory stimulation with wearable devices improve performance on an attention task ,(2) does sensory stimulation produces changes in brain oscillations, arousal, or autonomic nervous system physiology, (3) are performance improvements related to brainwave entrainment at the stimulation frequency, and (5) which stimulation frequencies and modalities are rated as most usable and comfortable. We test several different modalities of sensory stimulation (audio, visual, audio+visual, and vibrotactile) while recording performance on the Sustained Attention to Response task as well as EEG data, heart rate/HRV, electrodermal activity, motion, and finger temperature.

description: In this article, we consider remote-controlled systems, where the command generator and the controlled object are connected with a bandwidth-limited communication link. In the remote-controlled systems, efficient representation of control commands is one of the crucial issues because of the bandwidth limitations of the link. We propose a new representation method for control commands based on compressed sensing. In the proposed method, compressed sensing reduces the number of bits in each control signal by representing it as a sparse vector. The compressed sensing problem is solved by an L1-L2 optimization, which can be effectively implemented with an iterative shrinkage algorithm. A design example also shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The Weberian Gang: A Study of Three Chicago Gangs and New Conceptualization of Criminal Politics

Subjects: subject: Criminal Politics
subject: The Weberian Gang
subject: political organization
subject: crime, law, & public safety

description: This paper explores the classification of gangs as criminal actors and not as political actors. I propose that urban street gangs often resemble and reflect the actions of the Weberian state in their communities and that this makes them inherently political, even if they do not make explicitly political claims against the state. To test this, I develop a theoretical framework by which to compare gang characteristics to state characteristics. Through ethnographic case studies of three Chicagoan gangs in the latter half of the 20th century, I demonstrate the utility of my framework in analysis and evaluate the similarities between gangs and states.

description: Frequency conversion of single photons in a nonlinear crystal is theoretically discussed. Losses and noise are included within a Heisenberg-Langevin formalism for the propagating photon field. We calculate the first- and second-order correlation functions of the frequency-converted light when the input is a train of single-photon pulses. This model allows one to identify the requirements on the nonlinear device so that it can be integrated in a quantum network.

description: Today, continued miniaturization in electronic integrated circuits (ICs) appears to have reached its fundamental limit. At the same time, energy consumption due by communication becomes the dominant limitation in high performance electronic ICs for computing, and modern computing concepts such a neural networks further amplify the challenge. Photonic communication is a promising strategy to address the second, while adding a third dimension to the predominantly two dimensional integrated circuits appears the most promising future strategy for further IC architecture improvement. Crucial for efficient electronic-photonic co-integration is CMOS compatibility. Here, we review our latest results obtained in the FEMTO-ST RENATECH facilities on using additive photo-induced polymerization of a standard photo-resin for truly 3D photonic integration according to these principles. Based on one- and two-photon polymerization and combined with direct-laser writing, we 3D-printed air- and polymer-cladded photonic waveguides. An important application of such circuits are the interconnects of optical neural networks, where 3D integration enables scalability in terms of network size versus its geometric dimensions. In particular via \emph{flash}-TPP, a fabrication process combining blanket one- and high-resolution two-photon polymerization, we demonstrated polymer-cladded step-index waveguides with up to 6~mm length, low insertion ($\sim$0.26~dB) and propagation ($\sim$1.3~dB/mm) losses, realized broadband and low loss ($\sim$0.06~dB splitting losses) adiabatic 1 to M couplers as well as tightly confining air-cladded waveguides for denser integration. By stably printing such integrated photonic circuits on standard semiconductor samples, we show the concept's CMOS compatibility. With this, we lay out a promising, future avenue for scalable integration of hybrid photonic and electronic components.
