description: We describe the high fidelity dispersive measurement of a superconducting qubit using a microwave amplifier based on the Superconducting Low-inductance Undulatory Galvanometer (SLUG). The SLUG preamplifier achieves gain of 19 dB and yields a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 9 dB over a state-of-the-art HEMT amplifier. We demonstrate a separation fidelity of 99% at 700 ns compared to 59% with the HEMT alone. The SLUG displays a large dynamic range, with an input saturation power corresponding to 700 photons in the readout cavity.

description: Die weitverbreitete Nutzung von Spolien in nachantiker Zeit erreichte in Rom durch den Neubau von St. Peter einen Höhepunkt. Die Größe und Bedeutung dieses Bauvorhabens stellt eine hervorragende Grundlage dar, die Spolienverwertung in Rom zur Zeit der Renaissance zu untersuchen. Dank des im 16. Jahrhundert für die Bauhütte von St. Peter eingerichteten Archivs lässt sich die Spolienverwendung für diesen Zeitraum schriftlich nachweisen und ermöglicht zudem einen Blick auf die Herkunftsorte der Spolien. In einem bifokalen Ansatz können nun nicht nur die Spolien am Ort ihrer Wiederverwendung untersucht werden, sondern es lässt sich gleichzeitig auch die Dekonstruktion der antiken Räume durch die Spoliierung betrachten. Ergänzend zur Analyse der beim Neubau von St. Peter verwendeten Spolien anhand der Objekte selbst und der archivalischen Nachweise werden möglicherweise antike und spoliierte Säulenschäfte im Petersdom sowie an den antiken Monumenten mit digitalen 3D-Modellen erforscht. Vor allem der Vergleich des Entasis-Verlaufs zahlreicher Säulen führt dabei zu neuen und aufschlussreichen Ergebnissen.

description: The computational performance of the biological brain has long attracted significant interest and has led to inspirations in operating principles, algorithms, and architectures for computing and signal processing. In this work, we focus on hardware implementation of brain-like learning in a brain-inspired architecture. We demonstrate, in hardware, that 2-D crossbar arrays of phase change synaptic devices can achieve associative learning and perform pattern recognition. Device and array-level studies using an experimental 10x10 array of phase change synaptic devices have shown that pattern recognition is robust against synaptic resistance variations and large variations can be tolerated by increasing the number of training iterations. Our measurements show that increase in initial variation from 9 % to 60 % causes required training iterations to increase from 1 to 11.

description: What is Head Start?

Head Start, a federally funded program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, promotes school readiness and family well-being in children from birth to age five who meet specific criteria.

Lowell Head Start Partnership

The Lowell Head Start program is engaged in efforts to combat the opioid epidemic after an incident involving an overdose by a parent in the center. To support the Lowell Head Start program, our team forged collaborations with facilities close to Head Start in Lowell by creating informational pamphlets that detail services offered to people with substance use disorders in Lowell.

Opioid trends in Lowell

Lowell is a very diverse city, with 40% of the population being non-white and 25% being foreign born. Lowell has a highest poverty rate at 19.1%, in the region, a low median household income at $49,164, and a high rate of unemployment according to the 2016 greater Lowell community health needs assessment (CHNA). Opioid overdose death rate in Lowell is 43 fatalities per 100,000 – a rate greater than double the average fatality rate in the state of Massachusetts.

Quick overview of project

To capitalize on the statewide and local efforts to bring opioid addition out in the open, the presenters created an informational pamphlet as a resource and educational tool for families that seek or are referred for services. Description of many relevant provisional services are expanded upon in the capstone project submission – including detox, hotline and support services, medication management, behavioral health, counseling and relapse tools training. Additionally, the presenters actively forged connections with local community organizations serving those struggling with opioid use disorder. Please see capstone document for additional information regarding specific resources.

Conclusions

With the significant rise in fatal overdoses in the city of Lowell, many departments and programs have been developed to combat the opioid epidemic. This project aims to provide vital information to the Head Start Program and the families they serve, and to provide established resources available in Lowell, such as medication disposals, Narcan and signs of overdose training, needle drop-off services, available hotlines, and city-wide programs, including Lowell Community Opioid Outreach Programs, MA Opioid Abuse and Prevention Collaborative of Greater Lowell, and Partnerships for Success Program.

description: Neural decoding involves correlating signals acquired from the brain to variables in the physical world like limb movement or robot control in Brain Machine Interfaces. In this context, this work starts from a specific pre-existing dataset of neural recordings from monkey motor cortex and presents a Deep Learning-based approach to the decoding of neural signals for grasp type classification. Specifically, we propose here an approach that exploits LSTM networks to classify time series containing neural data (i.e., spike trains) into classes representing the object being grasped. The main goal of the presented approach is to improve over state-of-the-art decoding accuracy without relying on any prior neuroscience knowledge, and leveraging only the capability of deep learning models to extract correlations from data. The paper presents the results achieved for the considered dataset and compares them with previous works on the same dataset, showing a significant improvement in classification accuracy, even if considering simulated real-time decoding.

description: We discuss cosmological effects of the quantum loops of massless particles, which lead to temporal non-localities in the equations of motion governing the scale factor a(t). For the effects discussed here, loops cause the evolution of a(t) to depend on the memory of the curvature in the past with a weight that scales initially as 1/(t-t'). As one of our primary examples we discuss the situation with a large number of light particles, such that these effects occur in a region where gravity may still be treated classically. However, we also describe the effect of quantum graviton loops and the full set of Standard Model particles. We show that these effects decrease with time in an expanding phase, leading to classical behavior at late time. In a contracting phase, within our approximations the quantum results can lead to a bounce-like behavior at scales below the Planck mass, avoiding the singularities required classically by the Hawking-Penrose theorems. For conformally invariant fields, such as the Standard Model with a conformally coupled Higgs, this result is purely non-local and parameter independent.

description: Capstone: Prehabilitation to improve patient positioning: pelvic exercises assist in reducing sacral slope variability during radiation therapy.  Purpose/Objective(s): Reproducible patient positioning is essential for precision in radiation therapy (RT) delivery. However, a retrospective review of pre-treatment imaging demonstrated variability in daily patient set-up. We tested the hypothesis that a structured daily pre-treatment stretching regimen is both feasible and effective for minimizing variability in positioning, as measured by sacral slope angles (SSA). Materials/Methods: After obtaining IRB approval, we had 8 female patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy perform a structured daily hip exercise regimen (extension and external rotation) immediately prior to both simulation and daily treatment, throughout the RT course. The control group of 20 patients (17 female and 3 male) had usual care. SSA measurements on daily pre-treatment imaging were compared to SSA measurements from the simulation CT for 5 weeks. The extent of SSA variability between two groups and over time was analyzed using a linear mixed model. The same two readers independently measured SSA of all subjects, comparing SSA on the day of simulation to SSA measured on each day of RT. Results: The average variation in SSA among the intervention subjects was 0.913° (±0.582°), with a range among subjects of 0.57°-1.3°. The average variation for the control subjects was 2.27° (±1.43°), with range among subjects of 1.22° - 5.09°. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.002). There was a statistically significant SSA variation between groups at each week of treatment (Week (wk) 1: p = 0.007, wk 2: p = 0.008, wk 3: p = 0.01, wk 4: p = 0.005, wk 5: p = 0.008). There was no significant variation among the intervention subjects between week 1 and later weeks (wk 2: p = 0.88, wk 3: p = 0.74, wk 4: p = 0.97, wk 5: p = 0.40), whereas subjects in the control group demonstrated significant SSA variation between week 1 and the fourth week of therapy (wk 2: p = 0.87, wk 3: p = 0.92, wk 4: p = 0.02, wk 5: p = 0.22). There were no reported adverse effects of the stretching regimen. Conclusion: We demonstrated a significant decrease in the variability of SSA by implementing a simple pre-treatment stretching program, whereas control subjects exhibited an increasing variability of SSA over the course of treatment. We conclude that there is a potential benefit for prehabilitation during pelvic RT. A larger clinical trial is required to determine whether a pre-treatment stretching program would result in clinical benefit.

description: We consider regression scenarios where it is natural to impose an order constraint on the coefficients. We propose an order-constrained version of L1-regularized regression for this problem, and show how to solve it efficiently using the well-known Pool Adjacent Violators Algorithm as its proximal operator. The main application of this idea is time-lagged regression, where we predict an outcome at time t from features at the previous K time points. In this setting it is natural to assume that the coefficients decay as we move farther away from t, and hence the order constraint is reasonable. Potential applications include financial time series and prediction of dynamic patient out- comes based on clinical measurements. We illustrate this idea on real and simulated data.

description: 1.8 micrometer-thick magnesium hydride films were synthesized in a single-step process by reactive plasma-assisted sputtering. The MgH2 thin films, which were deposited on two types of flexible surfaces (namely graphite and polyimide foils) were found to adhere on both substrates. In all cases, XRD analysis revealed an as-deposited thin film consisting of alpha-MgH2, a tetragonal, rutile-type crystal structure (space group \#136). The hydrogen sorption capacities of the uncapped films were studied over successive desorption/absorption cycles performed at 350 {\textdegree}C. The first desorption always shows a slow kinetics that can be explained by a superficial oxidation of the films. However, once the passivating layer is removed, the following dehydrogenations occur faster. Multiple cycling of the film deposited on polyimide resulted in delamination of the film and its conversion into loose powder. As for MgH2 deposited on the flexible graphite substrate, a fully reversible capacity was observed over 28 cycles with no delamination of the film. Upon cycling, the microstructure of the film has evolved from homogeneous fibrous to an untextured morphology with a higher degree of crystallinity.

description: Motivated by very recent experiments, we consider a scenario "à la Bell" in which two protagonists test the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality using a photon-pair source based on spontaneous parametric down conversion and imperfect photon detectors. The conventional wisdom says that (i) if the detectors have unit efficiency, the CHSH violation can reach its maximum quantum value $2\sqrt{2}$. To obtain the maximal possible violation, it suffices that the source emits (ii) maximally entangled photon pairs (iii) in two well defined single modes. Through a non-perturabive calculation of non-local correlations, we show that none of these statements are true. By providing the optimal pump parameters, measurement settings and state structure for any detection efficiency and dark count probability, our results give the recipe to close all the loopholes in a Bell test using photon pairs.

The higher derivative regularization and quantum corrections in ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric theories

description: We construct a new version of the higher covariant derivative regularization for a general ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory formulated in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. This regularization preserves both supersymmetries of the classical action, namely, the invariance under the manifest ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry and under the second hidden on-shell supersymmetry. The regularizing ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric higher derivative term is found in the explicit form in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. Thus, ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is broken only by the gauge fixing procedure. Then we analyze the exact NSVZ $β$-function and prove that in the considered model its higher loop structure is determined by the anomalous dimension of the chiral superfield $Φ$ in the adjoint representation which is the ${\cal N}=2$ superpartner of the gauge superfield $V$. Using the background field method we find that this anomalous dimension is related with the anomalous dimension of the hypermultiplet and vanishes if the effective action is invariant under ${\cal N}=2$ background supersymmetry. As a consequence, in this case the higher loop contributions to $β$-function also vanish. The one-loop renormalization structure in the considered regularization is also studied by the explicit calculations of the one-loop renormalization constants.

description: A general concept in risk assessment is that a threshold of exposure exists above which adverse effects are initiated. Toxicity is related to the target-site concentration or the biologically active dose. Although it is often a huge challenge to measure the specific dose metric of metal toxicity, significant progress has been obtained to approach closer to the target-site concentration. Such developments are reviewed in the present study. In addition, a general framework to simulate the subcellular metal partitioning, which is supposed to account for the internal metal sequestration, is developed and applied to various metals. The framework allows for delineating mechanisms of internal metal sequestration. Moreover, the specificity in these mechanisms, which varies among metals, species, and exposure conditions, might explain the complicated relationship between the internal concentration and metal toxicity. Attention should be paid to the data requirements as the high number of unknown parameters might be accompanied by potential uncertainties. In addition, future efforts should focus on linking the concentration of metals in sensitive fractions and toxicological effects.

description: Recently, a pump beam size dependence of thermal conductivity was observed in Si at cryogenic temperatures using time-domain thermal reflectance (TDTR). These observations were attributed to quasiballistic phonon transport, but the interpretation of the measurements has been semi-empirical. Here we present a numerical study of the heat conduction that occurs in the full 3D geometry of a TDTR experiment, including an interface, using the Boltzmann Transport Equation. We identify the radial suppression function that describes the suppression in heat flux, compared to Fourier's law, that occurs due to quasiballistic transport and demonstrate good agreement with experimental data. We also discuss unresolved discrepancies that are important topics for future study.

Stability of a Class of Non-Static Axial Self-Gravitating Systems in $f(R)$ Gravity
Creators: name: Sharif, M.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we analyze stability regions of a non-static restricted class of axially symmetric spacetime with anisotropic matter distribution. We consider $f(R)=R+εR^2$ model and assume hydrostatic equilibrium of the axial self-gravitating system at large past time. Considering perturbation from hydrostatic phase, we develop dynamical as well as collapse equations and explore dynamical instabilities at Newtonian and post-Newtonian regimes. It is concluded with the help of stiffness parameter, $Γ_1$, that radial profile of physical parameters like pressure anisotropy, energy density and higher curvature terms of the $f(R)$ model affect the instability ranges.

description: We report on two-photon interferences from highly indistinguishable single photons emitted by a quantum dot. Stricly resonant excitation with picosecond laser pulses allows coherent state preparation with a signifi- cantly increased coherence time (T2 \sim 1 ns) and reduced lifetime (T1 \sim 650 ps), as compared to a non-resonant excitation scheme. Building-up the Hong-Ou-Mandel dip without post-selection of the interfering photons, visi- bilities greater than 70 % have been observed. Near-unity indistinguishable photons could be achieved for every dot if charge noise is controlled. Indeed, the remaining decoherence mechanism is likely due to the fluctuating electrostatic environment of the dots.

description: Nuclear moments of the antimony isotopes $^{113-133}$Sb are measured by collinear laser spectroscopy and used to benchmark phenomenological shell-model and \textit{ab initio} calculations in the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group (VS-IMSRG). The shell-model calculations reproduce the electromagnetic moments over all Sb isotopes when suitable effective $g$-factors and charges are employed. Good agreement is achieved by VS-IMSRG for magnetic moments on the neutron-deficient side for both odd-even and odd-odd Sb isotopes while its results deviate from experiment on the neutron-rich side. When the same effective $g$-factors are used, VS-IMSRG agrees with experiment nearly as well as the shell model. Hence, the wave functions are very similar in both approaches and missing contributions to the M1 operator are identified as the cause of the discrepancy of VS-IMSRG with experiment. Electric quadrupole moments remain more challenging for VS-IMSRG.
Predicting wikipedia infobox type information using word embeddings on categories

description: Wikipedia has emerged as the largest multilingual, web based general reference work on the Internet. A huge amount of human resources have been invested in the creation and update of Wikipedia articles which are ideally complemented by so-called infobox templates defining the type of the underlying article. It has been observed that the Wikipedia infobox type information is often incomplete and inconsistent due to various reasons. However, the Wikipedia infobox type information plays a fundamental role for the RDF type information of Wikipedia based Knowledge Graphs such as DBpedia. This stimulates the need of always having the correct and complete infobox type information. In this work, we propose an approach to predict Wikipedia infobox types by using word embeddings on categories of Wikipedia articles, and analyze the impact of using minimal information from the Wikipedia articles in the prediction process.

description: Libraries play an important role in the everyday life of students and faculty. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected higher education, including libraries systems & services. This global pandemic almost changes the entire working style of the library from traditional to online. The purpose of this study was to explore the response of the Libraries and LIS professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and determine their working practices, services practices, and strategies applied and role-played. Libraries see their individual and collective roles of societal and educational dimensions during these uncertain times. The study also made recommendations for the betterment of Libraries. In this study, an online survey was performed using a Google Form questionnaire and send to prominent LIS professionals countrywide. The study covers almost 59 unique libraries from different colleges, universities, public sectors & information service centres. Out of the collected data, 101 respondents were selected as the final sample of the study. The findings of the study revealed that, among the respondent, 95% (96) demanded that their library provide online library services, 99% (100) respondents were positive about their library to provide online ask a librarian facility, and 76% (77) ensured that their library conducts such QIPs for their staffs during the national lockdown. Further, a total of 73 respondents identified in providing a Remote Access Facility to their library users during the lockdown period. The study concluded that in this new information era library staff, ought to consistently be prepared to confront difficult circumstances. Most libraries recommended in the near future to adopt webinars services and focused on motivating, encouraging the librarians to enhance their digital skills to be in pace with the present digital age.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Double inclusive cross-sections for gluon production in collision of two nucleons with two nucleons are studied in the BFKL approach. Various contributions include emission from the pomerons attached to the participants, from the BFKL interactions between these pomerons and from the intermediate BKP state. The last contribution may be observable provided the growth with energy of the pomeron contribution is tamed in accordance with unitarity. Possibility of long-range azimuthal correlations due to the BKP state are discussed.
