description: Non-Markovian effects in the evolution of open quantum systems have recently attracted widespread interest, particularly in the context of assessing the efficiency of energy and charge transfer in nanoscale biomolecular networks and quantum technologies. With the aid of many-body simulation methods, we uncover and analyse an ultrafast environmental process that causes energy relaxation in the reduced system to depend explicitly on the phase relation of the initial state preparation. Remarkably, for particular phases and system parameters, the net energy flow is uphill, transiently violating the principle of detailed balance, and implying that energy is spontaneously taken up from the environment. A theoretical analysis reveals that non-secular contributions, significant only within the environmental correlation time, underlie this effect. This suggests that environmental energy harvesting will be observable across a wide range of coupled quantum systems.

description: OBJECTIVES: To use data from the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS) to examine differences in employment among community-living, working-age adults (aged 18-64 years) with disabilities who live in Medicaid expansion states and nonexpansion states.

METHODS: Analyses used difference-in-differences to compare trends in pooled, cross-sectional estimates of employment by state expansion status for 2740 HRMS respondents reporting a disability, adjusting for individual and state characteristics.

RESULTS: After the Affordable Care Act (ACA), respondents in expansion states were significantly more likely to be employed compared with those in nonexpansion states (38.0% vs 31.9%; P = .011).

CONCLUSIONS: Prior to the ACA, many people with disabilities were required to live in poverty to maintain their Medicaid eligibility. With Medicaid expansion, they can now enter the workforce, increase earnings, and maintain coverage. Public Health Implications. Medicaid expansion may improve employment for people with disabilities.

description: During 2020 and 2021, MSarqueo Estudio de Arqueología S.L. has been working to document and excavate in the Casa del Cercáu (declared BIC in 1991), located in Llanes (Asturias, Spain). A study of the evolution of the whole complex has been carried out from a constructive point of view, using archaeological and architectural techniques, together with the execution of archaeological surveys. Archaeological excavation brought to light an interesting ceramic assemblage that begins in the 13th century and continues until the present. The Casa del Cercáu is an urban palace located in the village of Llanes, in the north-eastern area of the Principality of Asturias (Spain). Llanes originated from the lands granted by the king of León Alfonso IX around 1225 in the so-called territory of Aguilar. This came as a response to the founding of San Vicente de la Barquera (Cantabria) by the Castilian king Alfonso VIII. The village of Llanisca still retains its Medieval fortification, the Castle Tower, as well as much of the layout of its old wall, which forms the eastern and northern perimeter of the Casa del Cercáu. The origin of the Cercáu is in the last quarter of the sixteenth century, although the palace reached its prominence at the end of that century and the beginning of the next. During this period, Pedro Junco de Posada y Valdés, Bishop of Salamanca, Counselor of Inquisition, and President of the Chancillería de Valladolid inherited the house. He turned it into a palacemausoleum, and was buried in his chapel in 1603. The ceramic materials found here indicate a ceramic consumption of European taste. Despite being highly fragmented, these materials offer an important and diverse amount of information. Along with the local Asturian productions used in the kitchen and at the table, Portuguese tiles, French jugs, German stoneware, and Chinese porcelain co-existed in this palace. The heterogeneity of the material clearly shows how the Asturian trade network changed at the end of the Middle Ages and during the Modern Age, conditioned by economic and political events. The ceramic makes clear that the palace and its people actively engaged with this international network.

description: Plasmonics is a rapidly emerging platform for quantum state engineering with the potential for building ultra-compact and hybrid optoelectronic devices. Recent experiments have shown that despite the presence of decoherence and loss, photon statistics and entanglement can be preserved in single plasmonic systems. This preserving ability should carry over to plasmonic metamaterials, whose properties are the result of many individual plasmonic systems acting collectively, and can be used to engineer optical states of light. Here, we report an experimental demonstration of quantum state filtering, also known as entanglement distillation, using a metamaterial. We show that the metamaterial can be used to distill highly entangled states from less entangled states. As the metamaterial can be integrated with other optical components this work opens up the intriguing possibility of incorporating plasmonic metamaterials in on-chip quantum state engineering tasks.

description: La ciudad medieval de Bayra constituyó el principal enclave urbano nazarí en la frontera oriental entre los reinos de Granada y Murcia. La medina andalusí, habitada entre los siglos IX y XVI, se ubicaba en el Cerro del Espíritu Santo (Vera, Almería), controlando un amplio territorio en la cuenca del Bajo Almanzora. Su final hay que vincularlo con el catastrófico terremoto que tuvo lugar el 9 noviembre de 1518.
 La importancia política, económica y demográfica de la que gozó a finales de la Edad Media no ha llevado aparejada una igual trascendencia historiográfica. Así, con el objetivo de conocer mejor las características de la urbe y las circunstancias de su abandono tras el seísmo, a comienzos de 2021 el Ayuntamiento de Vera (Almería) decidió promover la realización de una serie de excavaciones arqueológicas en el yacimiento del Cerro del Espíritu Santo, de las que hasta la fecha se ha ejecutado la primera campaña.
 El material cerámico que se presenta en esta investigación es el resultado de los primeros trabajos de análisis y clasificación, fruto de la actividad arqueológica desarrollada en los últimos meses. El final abrupto del yacimiento nos permite ofrecer unas características del repertorio cerámico de una época de transición muy concreta. Así observamos grupos plenamente nazaríes, juntos con otros que podemos considerar de transición hacia una sociedad castellanizada, tanto producciones de ámbito local como otras claramente importadas de puntos del levante y el mediterráneo. Estos primeros trabajos nos indican la importancia de este enclave como contacto de culturas y cómo podemos rastrear la evolución y los cambios sociales a través del repertorio material cerámico.

description: The Internet, as it stands today, is highly vulnerable to attacks. However, little has been done to understand and verify the formal security guarantees of proposed secure inter-domain routing protocols, such as Secure BGP (S-BGP). In this paper, we develop a sound program logic for SANDLog-a declarative specification language for secure routing protocols for verifying properties of these protocols. We prove invariant properties of SANDLog programs that run in an adversarial environment. As a step towards automated verification, we implement a verification condition generator (VCGen) to automatically extract proof obligations. VCGen is integrated into a compiler for SANDLog that can generate executable protocol implementations; and thus, both verification and empirical evaluation of secure routing protocols can be carried out in this unified framework. To validate our framework, we encoded several proposed secure routing mechanisms in SANDLog, verified variants of path authenticity properties by manually discharging the generated verification conditions in Coq, and generated executable code based on SANDLog specification and ran the code in simulation.

description: Quantum game theory is a new interdisciplinary field between game theory and physical research. In this paper, we extend the classical inspection game into a quantum game version by quantizing the strategy space and importing entanglement between players. Our result shows that the quantum inspection game has various Nash equilibrium depending on the initial quantum state of the game. It is also shown that quantization can respectively help each player to increase his own payoff, yet fails to bring Pareto improvement for the collective payoff in the quantum inspection game.

description: We consider higher dimensional topological Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS solutions where a cosmological constant is treated as a pressure. The thermodynamic quantities of these solutions are explicitly calculated. Furthermore, we find these thermodynamic quantities satisfy the Clapeyron equation. In particular, a new thermodynamically stable region for the NUT solution is found by studying the Gibbs free energy. Intriguingly, we also find that like the AdS black hole case, the G-T diagram of the Bolt solution has two branches which are joined at a minimum temperature. The Bolt solution with the large radius, at the lower branch, becomes stable beyond a certain temperature while the Bolt solution with the small radius, at the upper branch, is always unstable.

Degenerate parametric oscillation in quantum membrane optomechanics

description: The promise of innovative applications has triggered the development of many modern technologies capable of exploiting quantum effects. But in addition to future applications, such quantum technologies have already provided us with the possibility of accessing quantum-mechanical scenarios that seemed unreachable just a few decades ago. With this spirit, in this work we show that modern optomechanical setups are mature enough to implement one of the most elusive models in the field of open system dynamics: degenerate parametric oscillation. The possibility of implementing it in nonlinear optical resonators was the main motivation for introducing such model in the eighties, which rapidly became a paradigm for the study of dissipative phase transitions whose corresponding spontaneously broken symmetry is discrete. However, it was found that the intrinsic multimode nature of optical cavities makes it impossible to experimentally study the model all the way through its phase transition. In contrast, here we show that this long-awaited model can be implemented in the motion of a mechanical object dispersively coupled to the light contained in a cavity, when the latter is properly driven with multi-chromatic laser light. We focus on membranes as the mechanical element, showing that the main signatures of the degenerate parametric oscillation model can be studied in state-of-the-art setups, thus opening the possibility of studying spontaneous symmetry breaking and enhanced metrology in one of the cleanest dissipative phase transitions.

title: Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions
Creators: name: Panagiaris, Nikolaos
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: Referring expression generation (REG) aims at generating natural language definite descriptions for objects within images called referring expressions (REs). Despite the substantial progress in recent years, REGmodels are still far frombeing perfect. Existing attempts focus exclusively on how accurately referring expressions describe an object. However, other essential natural language attributes such as diversity and naturalness are overlooked. Therefore, this thesis aims to develop REG systems that produce REs that are: (1) unambiguous: the generated sentences describe the object unambiguously; (2) natural: the REs should be less distinguishable from the human ones; (3) diverse: the REG model should be able to produce a set of REs for a given target object that are notably different.

A limitation of the language models that have been used in REG is that, they utilize a static global visual representation that is excessively compressed and lacks in granularity since all the visual information is fused into a single vector. Therefore, the first contribution of this thesis is a novel object attention mechanism that dynamically uses salient object features. To further demonstrate the advantages of attention in REG, a novel transformer model is proposed that exploits different levels of visual information.

Secondly, neural approaches that follow the encoder-decoder architecture are usually trained to maximize the likelihood of the generated word given the history of generated words. However, two shortcomings stem from this training scheme: (1) the exposure bias: the model is never exposed to its own error during training; (2) training evaluation mismatch: during training a strictly word-level loss is used, while at test time the model is evaluated on sequence level metrics. Recently approaches that utilize reinforcement learning techniques have shown promising results in training neural systems directly on non-differentiable metrics for the task at hand. Thus, a second contribution that this thesis makes, is a novel optimization approach to REG based on the REINFORCE algorithm that normalizes the reward by averaging over multiple-samples. However, it was found that, while directly optimizing the evaluation metrics the models achieve higher scores, the generated text lacks diversity due to repeated n-grams. Thus, this thesis proposes the use of minimum risk training (MRT) as an alternative way of optimizing REG systems on sequence level.

Finally, to overcome the lack of diversity it is proposed to extend the investigation in generating sets of referring expressions. Specifically, the effect of different decoding strategies is investigated by comparing their performance along the entire quality-diversity space.

description: We use a nonequilibrium implementation of extended dynamical mean field theory to study the effect of dynamical screening in photo-excited Mott insulators. The insertion of doublons and holes adds low-energy screening modes and leads to a reduction of the Mott gap. The coupling to low-energy bosonic modes further- more opens new relaxation channels and significantly speeds up the thermalization process. We also consider the effect of the energy distribution of the doped carriers on the screening.

description: The subject of merchandise control accounting is approached in this paper from a managerial viewpoint. The questions to be explored will mainly be related to the actual prevalence of various procedures which may be used in the types of stores concerned and their value to management as compared with the effort involved. Consideration also is given to the organizations found in the stores using these procedures, as without this the study would have little meaning. This study therefore has a viewpoint rather different from most accounting research, for it is not devoted largely to forms, techniques, and theories which are of principal interest to the accounting practitioner and theorist. Much space necessarily will be devoted to describing various methods, forms, etc., as necessary background for their discussion. However, as far as practicable, matters not concerned with the managerial use of accounting in merchandise control will be omitted. [...] The chief objective of this paper is to present facts on how retailers actually are controlling their merchandising, in comparison with the methods which have been devised as the ideals (in so far as they have reached publication). Thus a study of actual operations will be presented and appraised with regard to the improvements in practices that are merited for adequate controls in the forthcoming economic conditions in retailing. The treatment is limited to certain retail establishments, "department stores" and apparel stores, which largely deal in related types of merchandise. Only stores with departmental organizations and doing above a certain minimum volume of business are studied. The stores all are located in the state of Texas

description: We consider the possibility of solar neutrino decay as a sub-leading effect on their propagation between production and detection. Using current oscillation data, we set a new lower bound to the $ν_2$ neutrino lifetime at $τ_2\, /\, m_2 \geq 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\,\,\hbox{s}\,.\,\hbox{eV}^{-1}$ at $99\%\,$C.L.. Also, we show how seasonal variations in the solar neutrino data can give interesting additional information about neutrino lifetime.

description: Here we provide supplemental materials for our study: A Comprehensive Learnability Framework for Mobile Application Design for Older Adults. The study provides in-depth theoretical analysis and practical guidance for learnability design of mobile phone app for older adults. The Learnability Design for Older Adults (OLD) framework, which contained two parts (part 1: seven factors, 22 principles and 77 design issues; part 2: 168 design-stage-based learnability guidelines), was proposed through literature review and an explorative usability testing. The framework’ feasibility and effectiveness were verified through redesigning an app by the guidelines and evaluating the improvement of learnability in an evaluational experiment.
 Due to word limit of the paper, we omitted the list of our proposed learnability design guidelines and our redesign work using the guidelines. So we uploaded following materials here in supplementary of pur paper: Learnability Design Guidelines (view of learnability factor) Learnability Design Guidelines (view of design process) Redesign Case：Kaiyun Care We provide offline pages that can be viewed directly here in figshare.

description: The problem of exact observability is analyzed for a wide class of neutral type systems by an infinite dimensional approach. The duality with the exact controllabil-ity problem is the main tool. It is based on an explicit expression of a neutral type system which corresponding to the abstract adjoint system. A nontrivial relation is obtained between the initial neutral system and the system obtained via the adjoint abstract state operator. The characterization of the duality between controllability and observability is deduced, and then observability conditions are obtained.

description: Rationale: Expanding the use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiators and correctors for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) requires precise and accurate biomarkers. Sweat chloride concentration provides an in vivo assessment of CFTR function, but it is unknown the degree to which CFTR mutations account for sweat chloride variation.

description: Completing a previous analysis started in [1], we study flat Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) models with a perfect fluid matter source and a scalar field nonminimally coupled to matter, self--interacting with a potential that may attain negative values. We prove that the evolution generically forces the Hubble function to diverge to $-\infty$ in a finite time, except in case the potential exhibits a flat plateau at infinity (tending to zero from below); in that case we find conditions which may give rise to ever expanding or recollapsing cosmologies.

description: Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) is increasingly taking a central role in identifying subphenotypes within chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and other lung-related disease populations, allowing for the quantification of the amount and distribution of altered parenchyma along with the characterization of airway and vascular anatomy. The embedding of quantitative CT (QCT) into a multicenter trial with a variety of scanner makes and models along with the variety of pressures within a clinical radiology setting has proven challenging, especially in the context of a longitudinal study. SPIROMICS (Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study), sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, has established a QCT lung assessment system (QCT-LAS), which includes scanner-specific imaging protocols for lung assessment at total lung capacity and residual volume. Also included are monthly scanning of a standardized test object and web-based tools for subject registration, protocol assignment, and data transmission coupled with automated image interrogation to assure protocol adherence. The SPIROMICS QCT-LAS has been adopted and contributed to by a growing number of other multicenter studies in which imaging is embedded. The key components of the SPIROMICS QCT-LAS along with evidence of implementation success are described herein. While imaging technologies continue to evolve, the required components of a QCT-LAS provide the framework for future studies, and the QCT results emanating from SPIROMICS and the growing number of other studies using the SPIROMICS QCT-LAS will provide a shared resource of image-derived pulmonary metrics.
