description: Ovarian cancer is the second most common type of gynecologic cancer, and it causes more death than any other female reproductive cancer. It is the 7th most common women's cancer. The objective of the present study is to highlight the risk factors of ovarian cancer related to hospitalization outcomes such as mortality, length of stay, and total medical charges when there is a presence of Congestive heart failure and other complications. The study implemented a cross-sectional design to achieve the primary objectives. Data were downloaded and extracted, with permission, from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). The collected data included patient demographic characteristics, such as age, gender, race, and income. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28.0 was used to analyze the present study's data, and all outcomes with a p-value less than 0.05 were found to be significant. Overall mortality showed a higher incidence of epithelial ovarian cancer. The incidence of mortality increased with congestive heart failure (CHF) and hypertension (HT), in which the patients with HT had a higher death rate with epithelial ovarian cancer than CHF. Regarding the length of stay, increasing age and being white results in an average decrease in length of stay. Those patients with weight loss comorbidities resulted in the greatest mean increase in length of stay. The increasing number of diagnoses, procedures, age, and being Hispanic results in an average increase in total cost. Being white or black results in an average decrease in total cost. The deceased risk of dying was associated with the number of procedures. Increased age and number of diagnoses were associated with an increased likelihood of dying. The increase in procedures and SES will increase the length of stay. And when it comes to comorbidities, among those with hypertension, these predictors are significant. The predictors of mortality were assessed by age and number of diagnoses, which were associated with an increased likelihood of dying.

description: Diese Literaturarbeit trägt den Titel Begleitung von jungen Frauen mit sexualisierter Gewalterfahrung im sozialpädagogischen Rahmen: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen. Im Fokus steht die Frage der professionellen Unterstützung im Aufarbeitungsprozess in diesem Rahmen. Diese Arbeit wurde von den Autorinnen Lea Girod und Sophie Gonser geschrieben. Diese Arbeit beleuchtet die Begrifflichkeiten im Zusammenhang mit sexualisierter Gewalt und Trauma sowie unterschiedliche mögliche Traumafolgestörungen – auf psychischer, physischer und sozialer Ebene. Gemäss dem sozialpädagogischen Auftrag sind insbesondere die Körperwahrnehmung, Nähe-Distanz-Thematik, die Sexualität, die Scham- und Schuldgefühle sowie Stigmatisierungen und die Gefahr der Reviktimisierung von enormer Bedeutung. Dies zeigt sich in den ausgewählten (traumapädagogischen) Methoden des professionellen Unterstützungsangebotes, welche sich zur Minimierung der aufgezählten Folgesymptome eignen. Zudem werden Kriterien zur Ermöglichung des sicheren Ortes genannt. Zum Abschluss werden Herausforderungen auf der Ebene der Mitarbeitenden und Institutionen sowie im Umgang mit Übertragung und Gegenübertragung thematisiert. Ebenfalls wird das schwierige Thema der Sexualität behandelt und die interdisziplinäre Abgrenzung zur Therapie und Traumaberatung beleuchtet. Diese Arbeit zeigt auf, dass die Soziale Arbeit über eine grössere Traumasensibilität verfügen und die Traumapädagogik institutionell verankert sein muss, damit die Fachpersonen die vorgestellten Methoden und somit die Begleitung dieser Adressatengruppe professionell und umfangreich ermöglichen können.

description: [abridged] Recently, in Benetti et al. (Astrophys. J. 2023, 949, 65), we suggested that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate fractional gravity. In such a framework, the DM component exists, but the gravitational potential associated to its density distribution is determined by a modified Poisson equation including fractional derivatives, which are meant to describe nonlocal effects. In Benetti et al., we showed that fractional gravity worked very well for reproducing the kinematics of disk-dominated galaxies, especially dwarfs; there is also preliminary evidence that the strength of fractional effects tends to weaken toward more massive systems. Here, we aim to test fractional gravity in galaxy clusters, with a twofold aim: (i) perform an independent sanity check that it can accurately describe such large and massive structures; (ii) derive a clear-cut trend for its strength in systems with different DM masses. To this purpose, we forward model the density and pressure distributions of the intracluster medium (ICM), working out the hydrostatic equilibrium equation in fractional gravity. Then, we perform a Bayesian analysis of the X-COP galaxy cluster sample and infer constraints on the fractional gravity parameters, for individual clusters as well as stacked clusters. We find that fractional gravity performs remarkably well in modeling the ICM profiles for the X-COP sample. We also confirm the weakening of the fractional gravity effects toward more massive systems and derive the overall scaling of the fractional gravity parameters from dwarf galaxies to massive clusters, spanning six orders of magnitude in DM mass. Such an overall trend implies that fractional gravity can substantially alleviate the small-scale issues of the standard DM paradigm, while remaining successful on large cosmological scales.

description: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies have been identified by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope as a rare class of gamma-ray emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN). The lowest-redshift candidate among them is the source 1H 0323+342. Here we present quasi-simultaneous Gemini near-infrared and Keck optical spectroscopy for it, from which we derive a black hole mass based on both the broad Balmer and Paschen emission lines. We supplement these observations with a NuSTAR X-ray spectrum taken about two years earlier, from which we constrain the black hole mass based on the short timescale spectral variability. Our multiwavelength observations suggest a black hole mass of ~2x10^7 solar masses, which agrees well with previous estimates. We build the spectral energy distribution and show that it is dominated by the thermal and reprocessed emission from the accretion disc rather than the non-thermal jet component. A detailed spectral fitting with the energy-conserving accretion disc model of Done et al. constrains the Eddington ratio to L/L_Edd ~ 0.5 for a (non-rotating) Schwarzschild black hole and to L/L_Edd ~ 1 for a Kerr black hole with dimensionless spin of a*=0.8. Higher spin values and so higher Eddington ratios are excluded, since they would strongly overpredict the observed soft X-ray flux.

description: In this study, we detangled the evolutionary history of the Patagonian lizard clade Liolaemus kingii, coupling dense geographic sampling and novel computational analytical approaches. We analyzed nuclear and mitochondrial data (restriction DNA sequencing and cytochrome b) to hypothesize and evaluate species limits, phylogenetic relationships, and demographic histories. We also conducted posterior predictive simulations to assess the fit of the genomic data to the multispecies coalescent model. Our results show several instances of mito-nuclear discordance and consistent support for a reticulated history, supporting the view that the complex evolutionary history of the kingii clade is characterized by extensive gene flow and rapid diversification events. We discuss our findings in the contexts of the "gray zone" of speciation, phylogeographic patterns in the Patagonian region, and taxonomic outcomes.

description: Longitudinal analysis is important in many disciplines, such as the study of behavioral transitions in social science. Only very recently, feature selection has drawn adequate attention in the context of longitudinal modeling. Standard techniques, such as generalized estimating equations, have been modified to select features by imposing sparsity-inducing regularizers. However, they do not explicitly model how a dependent variable relies on features measured at proximal time points. Recent graphical Granger modeling can select features in lagged time points but ignores the temporal correlations within an individual's repeated measurements. We propose an approach to automatically and simultaneously determine both the relevant features and the relevant temporal points that impact the current outcome of the dependent variable. Meanwhile, the proposed model takes into account the non-{\em i.i.d} nature of the data by estimating the within-individual correlations. This approach decomposes model parameters into a summation of two components and imposes separate block-wise LASSO penalties to each component when building a linear model in terms of the past $τ$ measurements of features. One component is used to select features whereas the other is used to select temporal contingent points. An accelerated gradient descent algorithm is developed to efficiently solve the related optimization problem with detailed convergence analysis and asymptotic analysis. Computational results on both synthetic and real world problems demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach over existing techniques.

description: В работе представлены результаты экстерьерной оценки коров первого отёла ярославской породы в условиях АО «Шексна». Цель работы провести экстерьерную оценку коров первого отёла ярославской породы в условиях АО «Шексна» и дать характеристику её результатам. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что впервые на данном поголовье была проведена оценка экстерьера и её анализ с привязкой к быкам производителям. Исследование проведено в АО «Шексна» на 50 коровах первого отёла ярославской породы в период с 30 по 120-ый день лактации. Оценку проводили в соответствии с «Правилами оценки телосложения дочерей быков-производителей молочно-мясных пород», утверждёнными Минсельхозом. Была проведена оценка линейным методом и по сто балльной оценке. Были выявлены экстерьерные недостатки у коров первотёлок. Дочери быка Рейн 353902582 выделяются среди остальных наибольшей крепостью (7,3 балла). Всё поголовье имеет достаточно выраженные молочные формы, но дочери быка-производителя Стрелец 143 имеют менее выраженные молочные формы, о чём свидетельствует их средний балл по этому показателю 4,6 балла. Наименьшие баллы по сто балльной системе оценки получили дочери быка Стрелец 143, так за объём туловища они получили 79,4 балла при среднем значении 83,3 балла, выраженность молочных форм 80,3 балла при среднем 83,7 балла, ноги 78 балла при среднем 81,3, вымя 76,1 балла при среднем 81,8 балла, общий 78 балла при среднем 81,8 балла. У всех дочерей быков Бруквив 11951807 и Регент 9181 установлен такой недостаток как сближенные сзади соски, что в свою очередь может свидетельствовать о том, что быки несут этот ген.

description: In this paper, I present an analysis of obviation effects (obligatory disjoint reference of subjects in the matrix clause and subjects in subjunctive clauses selected by volitional verbs) in Russian and Polish. The analysis relies on cross-clausal feature dependencies involving temporal features of both clauses and on selectional properties of the volitional matrix verb. I assume that the temporal feature of volitional verbs integrates the respective feature of its complement clause. With respect to feature dependencies, I adopt the assumption made by Pesetsky/Torrego (2006, 2007) that feature valuation is in essence feature sharing. Further, I assume that (potentially cross-clausal) occurrences of features may constitute the relevant domains for construal processes (restrictions for coreference/coindexation). I will show that selectional properties of volitional verbs and the deficiency of the temporal feature of the clausal complement provide the prerequisite for cross-clausal feature sharing.

description: High statistics measurements of the photon asymmetry $\mathrmΣ$ for the $\overrightarrowγ$p$\rightarrowπ^{0}$p reaction have been made in the center of mass energy range W=1214-1450 MeV. The data were measured with the MAMI A2 real photon beam and Crystal Ball/TAPS detector systems in Mainz, Germany. The results significantly improve the existing world data and are shown to be in good agreement with previous measurements, and with the MAID, SAID, and Bonn-Gatchina predictions. We have also combined the photon asymmetry results with recent cross-section measurements from Mainz to calculate the profile functions, $\check{\mathrmΣ}$ (= $σ_{0}\mathrmΣ$), and perform a moment analysis. Comparison with calculations from the Bonn-Gatchina model shows that the precision of the data is good enough to further constrain the higher partial waves, and there is an indication of interference between the very small $F$-waves and the $N(1520) 3/2^{-}$ and $N(1535) 1/2^{-}$ resonances.
The perception and representation of nonredundant metaphoric gestures in social communication

description: Verbal and nonverbal information emerge simultaneously in our everyday communication. Although people commonly use nonverbal behaviors such as facial expression and frowning to guide their impression formation, gestures' role in social communication remains little understood, especially when there is a mismatch between speech and accompanying gestures. The current study, therefore, investigates whether social dimensions could be perceived and represented through nonredundant metaphoric gestures. In two experiments, participants watched video clips and made inferences about the actors' beliefs. In Experiment 1, when the vertical gesture (upward vs. downward) was presented, more competence inferences were made than inferences from other social dimensions. In Experiment 2, the moving axis of gestures (sagittal vs. vertical) exerted a significant impact on people's perception of distinct social dimensions (warmth vs. competence) -- when verbal descriptions indicated a high valence on both warmth and competence, accompanying sagittal gestures potentiated warmth inferences and accompanying vertical gestures potentiated competence inference. The findings of both experiments suggest that social dimensions can be captured by metaphoric gestures; when target information is absent or vague in speech, people perceive and use the nonredundant information conveyed through gestural modality to assist in impression formation.

description: Symphyotrichum (Asteraceae) is a well-circumscribed genus on the basis of morphological and molecular data, but species boundaries remain poorly understood. Here, the species delimitation of the contentious Symphyotrichum subulatum group (Symphyotrichum subg. Astropolium) is illuminated using morphometric, phylogenomic, and geographical analyses. Symphyotrichum mexicanum sp. nov., a new species endemic to central Mexico, is described and distinguished from Symphyotrichum expansum based on its morphometric attributes, phylogenetic placement, geographic range, and ecological specialization.

description: We present a model for the [alpha/Fe]-[Fe/H] distribution of stars in the inner Galaxy, R=3-5 kpc, measured as a function of vertical distance |z| from the midplane by Hayden et al. (2015, H15). Motivated by an "upside-down" scenario for thick disk formation, in which the thickness of the star-forming gas layer contracts as the stellar mass of the disk grows, we combine one-zone chemical evolution with a simple prescription in which the scale-height of the stellar distribution drops linearly from z_h=0.8 kpc to z_h=0.2 kpc over a timescale t_c, remaining constant thereafter. We assume a linear-exponential star-formation history, SFR ~ te^{-t/t_sf}. With a star-formation efficiency timescale of 2 Gyr, an outflow mass-loading factor of 1.5, t_sf=3 Gyr, and t_c=2.5 Gyr, the model reproduces the observed locus of inner disk stars in [alpha/Fe]-[Fe/H] and the metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) measured by H15 at |z|=0-0.5 kpc, 0.5-1 kpc, and 1-2 kpc. Substantial changes to model parameters lead to disagreement with the H15 data; for example, models with t_c=1 Gyr or t_sf=1 Gyr fail to match the observed MDF at high-|z| and low-|z|, respectively. The inferred scale-height evolution, with z_h(t) dropping on a timescale t_c ~ t_sf at large lookback times, favors upside-down formation over dynamical heating of an initially thin stellar population as the primary mechanism regulating disk thickness. The failure of our short-t_c models suggests that any model in which thick disk formation is a discrete event will not reproduce the continuous dependence of the MDF on |z| found by H15. Our scenario for the evolution of the inner disk can be tested by future measurements of the |z|-distribution and the age-metallicity distribution at R=3-5 kpc.

description: Unlike classical heat diffusion at the macroscale, nanoscale heat transport can occur without energy dissipation because phonons can travel in straight lines for hundreds of nanometres. Despite recent experimental evidence of such ballistic phonon transport, control over its directionality, and thus its practical use, remains a challenge, as the directions of individual phonons are chaotic. Here, we show a way to control the directionality of ballistic phonon transport using silicon thin-films with arrays of holes. First, we demonstrate the formation of directional heat fluxes in the passages between the holes. Next, we use these nanostructures as a directional source of ballistic phonons and couple the emitted phonons into nanowires. Finally, we introduce a nanoscale thermal lens in which the phonons converge at a focal point, thus focusing heat into a spot of a few hundred nanometres. These results provide a basis for ray-like heat manipulations that enable nanoscale heat guiding, dissipation, localization, confinement and rectification.

description: We show by first-principles calculations that the skew-scattering anomalous Hall and spin-Hall angles of L$1_0$-ordered FePt drastically depend on different types of disorder. A different sign of the AHE is obtained when slightly deviating from the stoichiometric ratio towards the Fe-rich side as compared to the Pt-rich side. For stoichiometric samples, short-range ordering of defects has a profound effect on the Hall angles and can change them by a factor of $2$ as compared to the case of uncorrelated disorder. This might explain the vast range of anomalous Hall angles measured in experiments, which undergo different preparation procedures and thus might differ in their crystallographic quality.

description: Phase separation in strained and strain-free samples of Fe84.85Cr15.15 induced by an isothermal annealing at 402 deg C up to 3888 h was studied by means of the Mossbauer spectroscopy. The measured Fe-site spectra were analyzed with two different procedures viz. a hyperfine field distribution and a two-shell superposition methods. Information relevant to the kinetics of the separation process, concentration of Cr in Fe-rich phase, short-range ordering and magnetic texture was obtained based on values of spectral parameters. In particular, the following quantities pertinent to the kinetics were found: the activation energy, equal to 1666 kJ per mol for the strained sample, and to 1388 kJ per mol for the strain-relaxed one, the Avrami exponent n=2.5(2) for both samples, the rate constant equal to 0.0011(1) for the strained and to 0.0028(1) per hour for the strained-free samples, respectively. The concentration of Cr in the Fe-rich phase was revealed to be 11.6(4) at. % for the strained sample, and to 13.2(4) at.% for the strain-free one. Significant differences in the values of the short-range parameters were revealed for the two samples. An average angle between the magnetization vector and the normal to the sample surface was equal to 52.7 deg for the strained sample, and to 57.5 deg for the strain-relaxed one.

As recent population growth has led to human–wildlife conflicts, this study investigated the responses of sika deer to resource availability and geomorphic factors during the summer and winter seasons in southern Hokkaido. Global positioning system-collared data collected from 2016 to 2018 were used to assess the home range patterns and habitat selection of 14 female sika deer located in Mount Esan and Shiriuchi. The core home range size was defined using a 50% kernel density estimation that indicated a larger home range in winter than summer for all deer. Habitat selection was assessed using generalized linear mixed models. The results showed variation in habitat selection between resident deer of Mount Esan and Shiriuchi, as well as migratory deer in Shiriuchi during summer. Resident deer in Mount Esan and Shriuchi preferred areas closer to crops during summer. Interaction effects revealed that migratory deer utilized natural grassland close to forest edge habitat in Shiriuchi. By contrast, resident deer in Shiriuchi selected forest edge habitat and natural grasslands close to crops. In winter, low elevation was the most important habitat factor for all deer across the study area. Thus, sika deer habitat selection depends on resource availability in summer and topographic factors in the winter.

description: We present results of carbon coatings on metal substrates in cylindrical hollow cathode (CHC) direct current magnetron sputtering. This is a new technique of making amorphous carbon film in CHC magnetron sputtering from regenerative sooting discharge. The carbon films are deposited on Cu and Al substrates in Ne atmosphere and compared with the films of carbon soot on the same materials produced from conventional arc discharge between graphite electrodes at 80 Angstrom in He background. The films are characterized using online emission, Raman, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Raman spectroscopy reveals the existence of graphite and diamond like structures from arc discharge while in CHC magnetron sputtering, graphite like structures are dominant. XRD pattern from arc discharge show precipitates of Al4C3 of rhombohedral and hexagonal types in nanometer ranges for aluminum sample and probable formation of diamond and hexagonal carbon in copper whilst in magnetron sputtering we get amorphous carbon films. SEM images of surface show collection of loose agglomerates of carbon particles in arc discharge whereas for magnetron sputtering structures are regular with smooth edges and fine grains.

description: It is postulated in Einstein's relativity that the speed of light in vacuum is a constant for all observers. However, the effect of quantum gravity could bring an energy dependence of light speed. Even a tiny speed variation, when amplified by the cosmological distance, may be revealed by the observed time lags between photons with different energies from astrophysical sources. From the newly detected long gamma ray burst GRB~160509A, we find evidence to support the prediction for a linear form modification of light speed in cosmological space.

description: В современном селекционном процессе значительное влияние на продуктивные показатели животных оказывает скрещивание отечественных молочных пород с голштинской породой крупного рогатого скота. По ярославской породе установлено увеличение надоя коров при повышении степень кровности животных с 2016 по 2020 год. Превосходство голштинизированных животных с высокой степенью кровности над чистопородными составило по 1-ой лактации до 1446 кг молока (6056 кг) в 2020 году. По МДЖ в молоке коров выявлена обратная зависимость, с повышением степени кровности по голштинской породе снижается жирномолочность до 3,94% (-0,12%). Живая масса коров с увеличением степени кровности возрастает до +65 кг по сравнению с чистопородными ярославскими животными и составляет до 555 кг. Использование поглотительного скрещивания целесообразно только в стадах с полноценным кормлением и содержанием животных для получения достоверного улучшения племенных и продуктивных признаков стада.

description: Recent discovery of bulk insulating topological insulator (TI) Bi2-xSbxTe3-ySey paved a pathway toward practical device application of TIs. For realizing TI-based devices, it is necessary to contact TIs with a metal. Since the band-bending at the interface dominates the character of devices, knowledge of TIs' work function is of essential importance. We have determined the compositional dependence of work function in Bi2-xSbxTe3-ySey by high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The obtained work-function values (4.95-5.20 eV) show a systematic variation with the composition, well tracking the energy shift of the surface chemical potential seen by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The present result serves as a useful guide for developing TI-based electronic devices.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of the dust- and gas-enshrouded, polluted, single white dwarf star SDSSJ104341.53+085558.2 (hereafter SDSSJ1043+0855). Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph far-ultraviolet spectra combined with deep Keck HIRES optical spectroscopy reveal the elements C, O, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Fe, and Ni and enable useful limits for Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn in the photosphere of SDSSJ1043+0855. From this suite of elements we determine that the parent body being accreted by SDSSJ1043+0855 is similar to the silicate Moon or the outer layers of Earth in that it is rocky and iron-poor. Combining this with comparison to other heavily polluted white dwarf stars, we are able to identify the material being accreted by SDSSJ1043+0855 as likely to have come from the outermost layers of a differentiated object. Furthermore, we present evidence that some polluted white dwarfs (including SDSSJ1043+0855) allow us to examine the structure of differentiated extrasolar rocky bodies. Enhanced levels of carbon in the body polluting SDSSJ1043+0855 relative to the Earth-Moon system can be explained with a model where a significant amount of the accreted rocky minerals took the form of carbonates; specifically, through this model the accreted material could be up to 9% calcium-carbonate by mass.

description: Популяционные характеристики молочных пород крупного рогатого скота являются важным информативным фактором, который позволяет определить современное состояние породы и направление селекционного процесса. По Вологодской области основное поголовье крупного рогатого скота представлено черно-пестрой породой 71,9%, по племенным хозяйствам 79,5%. В современных стадах поголовье молочных пород в основном составляют коровы 1, 2 отела до 68,0% по голштинской породе, при этом они имеют самый низкий показатель возраста в отелах 2,21. Молочная продуктивность по племенным хозяйствам превосходит средние показатели на 615 кг молока и составляет 8962 кг. Наибольший надой получен по голштинской породе 9806 кг молока с МДЖ 3,83%. По результатам наследования продуктивных признаков матерей установлено влияние породных особенностей. По черно-пестрой породе наибольший показатель наследования по надою 0,80, по айрширской породе по МДЖ 0,86. Следовательно, в селекционном процессе необходимо учитывать породные признаки животных.

description: High energy resolution, hard X-ray spectroscopies are powerful element selective probes of the electronic and local structure of matter, with diverse applications in chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. The routine application of these techniques is hindered by the complicated and slow access to synchrotron radiation facilities. Here we propose a new, economic, easily operated laboratory high resolution von Hámos type X-ray spectrometer, which offers rapid transmission experiments for X-ray absorption, and is also capable of recording X-ray emission spectra. The use of a cylindrical analyzer crystal and a position sensitive detector enabled us to build a maintenance free, flexible setup with low operational costs, while delivering synchrotron grade signal to noise measurements in reasonable acquisition times. We demonstrate the proof of principle and give examples for both measurement types. Finally, tracking of a several day long chemical transformation, a case better suited for laboratory than synchrotron investigation, is also presented.

description: This is the first of a series of detailed papers on string amplitudes with highly excited strings (HES). In the present paper we construct a generating function for string amplitudes with generic HES vertex operators using a fixed-loop momentum formalism. We generalise the proof of the chiral splitting theorem of D'Hoker and Phong to string amplitudes with arbitrary HES vertex operators (with generic KK and winding charges, polarisation tensors and oscillators) in general toroidal compactifications $\mathcal{E}=\mathbb{R}^{D-1,1}\times \mathbb{T}^{D_{\rm cr}-D}$ (with generic constant Kähler and complex structure target space moduli, background Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge fields and torsion). We adopt a novel approach that does not rely on a "reverse engineering" method to make explicit the loop momenta, thus avoiding a certain ambiguity pointed out in a recent paper by Sen, while also keeping the genus of the worldsheet generic. This approach will also be useful in discussions of quantum gravity and in particular in relation to black holes in string theory, non-locality and breakdown of local effective field theory, as well as in discussions of cosmic superstrings and their phenomenological relevance. We also discuss the manifestation of wave/particle (or rather wave/string) duality in string theory.

Probing quantumness with joint continuous measurements of non-commuting qubit observables

description: We analyze the continuous measurement of two non-commuting observables for a qubit, and investigate whether the simultaneously observed noisy signals are consistent with the evolution of an equivalent classical system. Following the approach outlined by Leggett and Garg, we show that the readouts violate macrorealistic inequalities for arbitrarily short temporal correlations. Moreover, the derived inequalities are manifestly violated even in the absence of Hamiltonian evolution, unlike for Leggett-Garg inequalities that use a single continuous measurement. Such a violation should indicate the failure of at least one postulate of macrorealism: either physical quantities do not have well defined values at all times, or the measurement process itself disturbs what is being measured. For measurements of equal strength we are able to construct a classical stochastic model for a spin that perfectly emulates both the qubit evolution and the observed noisy signals, thus emulating the violations; interestingly, this model also requires an unphysical noise to emulate the readouts, which effectively restricts the ability of an observer to learn information about the spin.
