description: We report the first observation of multi-photon photoluminescence excitation (PLE) below the resonant energies of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. The quadratic and cubic dependence of the integrated fluorescence intensity as a function of excitation power indicate a two-photon excitation pathway for the NV- charge state and a three-photon process involved for the neutral NV0 charge state respectively. Comparing the total multi-photon energy with its single-photon equivalent, the PLE spectra follows the absorption spectrum of single photon excitation. We also observed that the efficiency of photoluminescence for different charge states, as well as the decay time constant, was dependent on the excitation wavelength and power.

description: We present the first images of the 28SiO v=1, J=2-1 maser emission around the closest known massive young stellar object Orion Source I observed at 86 GHz (3mm) with the VLBA. These images have high spatial (~0.3 mas) and spectral (~0.054 km/s) resolutions. We find that the 3mm masers lie in an X-shaped locus consisting of four arms, with blue-shifted emission in the south and east arms and red-shifted emission in the north and west arms. Comparisons with previous images of the 28SiO v=1,2, J=1-0 transitions at 7mm (observed in 2001-2002) show that the bulk of the J=2-1 transition emission follows the streamlines of the J=1-0 emission and exhibits an overall velocity gradient consistent with the gradient at 7mm. While there is spatial overlap between the 3mm and 7mm transitions, the 3mm emission, on average, lies at larger projected distances from Source I (~44 AU compared with ~35 AU for 7mm). The spatial overlap between the v=1, J=1-0 and J=2-1 transitions is suggestive of a range of temperatures and densities where physical conditions are favorable for both transitions of a same vibrational state. However, the observed spatial offset between the bulk of emission at 3mm and 7mm possibly indicates different ranges of temperatures and densities for optimal excitation of the masers. We discuss different maser pumping models that may explain the observed offset. We interpret the 3mm and 7mm masers as being part of a single wide-angle outflow arising from the surface of an edge-on disk rotating about a northeast-southwest axis, with a continuous velocity gradient indicative of differential rotation consistent with a Keplerian profile in a high-mass proto-binary.

description: The number of women in technical computing roles in the HEP community hovers at around 15%. At the same time there is a growing body of research to suggest that diversity, in all its forms, brings positive impact on productivity and wellbeing. These aspects are directly in line with many organisations' values and missions, including CERN. Although proactive efforts to recruit more women in our organisations and institutes may help, the percentage of female applicants in candidate pools is similarly low and limits the potential for change. Factors influencing the career choice of girls have been identified to start as early as primary school and are closely tied to encouragement and exposure. It is the hope of various groups in the HEP community that, by intervening early, there may be a change in demographics over the years to come. During 2019, the Women in Technology Community at CERN developed two workshops for 6-9 year olds, which make the fundamental concepts of computer science accessible to young people with no prior experience and minimal assumed background knowledge. The immediate objectives were to demystify computer science, and to allow the children to meet a diverse set of role models from technical fields through our volunteer tutors. The workshops have been run for International Women's Day and Girls in ICT Day, and a variation will be incorporated into the IT contribution to CERN's Open Day in September 2019 (where both boys and girls will participate). We will present an overview of the statistics behind our motivation, describe the content of the workshops, results and lessons learnt and the future evolution of such activities.

description: In recent writing on the arts, few words verge on meaninglessness more than “experimental,” and, alas, this issue may do little to rectify this. By placing the pieces collected here under the rubric of the “experimental” I do not wish to inscribe them within a now semi–canonical “experimental tradition”—although some certainly have connections to that by no means unambiguous historical concept. Rather, I use the word to concisely indicate that the diverse array of exceptional pieces published here depart from the stylistic norms of contemporary academic writing. In one sense, this is an overly context–dependent justification. (Since this is a peer–reviewed scholarly journal, does that mean any text appearing in it that does not read like a standard article or book review is experimental?) But it is, anyway, the case that many of the contributors included here are academics of one kind or another, and that academic style constitutes a background against which their pieces can be taken to represent a self–conscious experimentation with form.

Studying the Galactic Center with MeerKAT S-Band Receivers and the Search for Pulsars
Creators: name: Rammala, Isabella
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: During its inauguration, the MeerKAT released, to date, the most detailed image of  the centre of the Galaxy at L-band (1.28 GHz). Since then, the data have been exploited for various scientific research. One such exploitation was the catalogue of unresolved point sources. Over 1500 sources were identified, of which 20 are steep spectrum point sources (with spectral index $< -1.8$). This work was motivated by the search for radio pulsar candidates in the continuum domain which, when visible, will be observed as point sources, with an expected steep spectra. The expectation comes from the observed average spectral behaviour of the known radio pulsars. Additionally, radio pulsars are  known to have highly linear polarised emission, with some exhibiting circular polarisation. We use the S-Band receivers to survey Galactic Centre region at S1 (2.4 GHz) and S4 (3.1 GHz), with the intent for polarimetric studies of the Radio Arc bubble, Sgr A and B regions, as well as the newly catalogued point sources. The continuum data is recorded while simultaneously placing tied-array beams onto the catalogued point sources to search for any periodicity in the time-domain. We present the S-Band images and the catalogue of interesting sources based on their polarisation properties, as well as the initial time-domain search for pulsations. We also discuss the design and specifications for the future-planned deep search for radio pulsars within one parsec of Sgr A* at S4.

description: Binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos is the target of the proposed NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), part of the Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission concept. In this mission, the DART spacecraft is planned to impact the secondary body of Didymos, perturbing mutual dynamics of the system. The primary body is currently rotating at a spin period close to the spin barrier of asteroids, and materials ejected from the secondary due to the DART impact are likely to reach the primary. These conditions may cause the primary to reshape, due to landslides, or internal deformation, changing the permanent gravity field. Here, we propose that if shape deformation of the primary occurs, the mutual orbit of the system would be perturbed due to a change in the gravity field. We use a numerical simulation technique based on the full two-body problem to investigate the shape effect on the mutual dynamics in Didymos after the DART impact. The results show that under constant volume, shape deformation induces strong perturbation in the mutual motion. We find that the deformation process always causes the orbital period of the system to become shorter. If surface layers with a thickness greater than ~0.4 m on the poles of the primary move down to the equatorial region due to the DART impact, a change in the orbital period of the system and in the spin period of the primary will be detected by ground-based measurement.

Year: 2019

description: Until recently, CERN had been considered eligible for academic pricing of Microsoft products. Now, along with many other research institutes, CERN has been disqualified from this educational programme and faces a 20 fold increase in license costs. CERN's current Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure comprises Microsoft services all the way down from the web Single-Sign-On to the Accounts Database. Replacing these core components is an opportunity to rebuild the CERN infrastructure using the latest technologies and concepts, to respond to the evolving requirements of the community. It is also the appropriate moment to consider the alignment of CERN and WLCG's approach to identity management, to create a more consistent environment for operators, developers and users. 2019 will see the launch of an Alpha version of CERN's next generation Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure, focusing on free and open source products and responding to the limitations experienced by the current system. We will describe the new solution, demonstrate workflows and highlight ways in which this work is being, and can be, used by the wider community.
Horses For Discourses?: The Transition from Oral to Broadside Narrative in “Skewball”
Creators: Ó Cadhla, Seán
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Music

description: The well–known horse–racing ballad “Skewball” (hereafter, SB) has a well–
established oral tradition in Ireland, with versions documented throughout
the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The latest is a 1979
field recording of Derry folksinger and storyteller, Eddie Butcher (Shields
2011:58–9). The ballad was also assimilated into African–American oral
tradition, in which it was reconstructed and renamed “Stewball” (Lomax
1994:68–71; Scarborough 1925:61–4), and was still being documented
in American folk tradition as late as the 1930s (Flanders 1939:172–4). In
common with countless other folk songs, SB was appropriated by broadside
printers and subsequently enjoyed widespread public appeal throughout
England in the early– to mid–nineteenth century, its popularity waning
with the later decline of the broadside as a medium of ballad transmission
and distribution.
A comparative analysis of oral and broadside versions reveals clear
differences between the two narratives. I argue that these variations were
quite deliberate in origin, being a direct result of interpolations and excisions
made by broadside ballad printers to the original oral narrative. By
drawing comparisons between versions of SB collected from both oral and
broadside sources, this paper will demonstrate that as a consequence of
significant social and cultural advancements in the nineteenth century, SB
was deliberately revised with the aim of enhancing its appeal and relevance
to an increasingly literate middle class audience.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is an underground 20 kton liquid scintillator detector being built in the south of China and expected to start data taking in late 2021. The JUNO physics program is focused on exploring neutrino properties, by means of electron anti-neutrinos emitted from two nuclear power complexes at a baseline of about 53km. Targeting an unprecedented relative energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV, JUNO will be able to study neutrino oscillation phenomena and determine neutrino mass ordering with a statistical significance of 3-4 sigma within six years running time. These physics challenges are addressed by a large Collaboration localized in three continents. In this context, key to the success of JUNO will be the realization of a distributed computing infrastructure, which will satisfy its predicted computing needs. The development of the computing infrastructure is performed jointly by the Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) (part of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)), and a number of Italian, French and Russian data centers, already part of WLCG. Upon its establishment, JUNO is expected to deliver not less than 2 PB of data per year, to be stored in the above mentioned data centers throughout China and Europe. Data analysis activities will be also carried out in cooperation, according to a coordinated joint effort. This contribution is meant to report on China-EU cooperation to design and build together the JUNO computing infrastructure and to describe its main characteristics and requirements.

description: Fundamental questions in ion mobility spectrometry have practical implications for analytical applications in general, and omics in particular, in three respects. (1) Understanding how ion mobility and collision cross section values depend on the collision gas, on the electric field and on temperature is crucial to ascertain their transferability across instrumental platforms. (2) Predicting collision cross section values for new analytes is necessary to exploit the full potential of ion mobility in discovery workflows. (3) Finally, understanding the fate of ion structures in the gas phase is essential to infer meaningful information on solution structures based on gas-phase ion mobility measurements. We review here the most recent advances in ion mobility fundamentals, relevant to these three aspects.

Year: 2019

description: Belle II is a rapidly growing collaboration with members from 113 institutes spread around the globe. The software development team of the experiment, as well as the software users, are very much decentralised. Together with the active development of the software, such decentralisation makes the adoption of the latest software releases by users an essential, but quite challenging task. To ensure an up-to-date state of the documentation, we adopted the policy of in-code documentation and configured a website that allows to get the documentation for specific release. To prevent tutorials becoming outdated, they are covered by unit-tests. For the user support, we use a question and answer service that not only allows to reduce repetition of the same questions, but also turned out to be a place for discussions among the experts. A prototype of a meta search engine for the different sources of documentation has been developed. For training of the new users, we organize centralised StarterKit workshops attached to the collaboration meetings. The materials of the workshop are available through a jupyterhub server and used in local training sessions.
Are Quantum Models for Order Effects Quantum?
Creators: name: Moreira, Catarina
name: Wichert, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The application of principles of Quantum Mechanics in areas outside of physics has been getting increasing attention in the scientific community in an emergent discipline called Quantum Cognition. These principles have been applied to explain paradoxical situations that cannot be easily explained through classical theory. In quantum probability, events are characterised by a superposition state, which is represented by a state vector in a $N$-dimensional vector space. The probability of an event is given by the squared magnitude of the projection of this superposition state into the desired subspace. This geometric approach is very useful to explain paradoxical findings that involve order effects, but do we really need quantum principles for models that only involve projections? This work has two main goals. First, it is still not clear in the literature if a quantum projection model has any advantage towards a classical projection. We compared both models and concluded that the Quantum Projection model achieves the same results as its classical counterpart, because the quantum interference effects play no role in the computation of the probabilities. Second, it intends to propose an alternative relativistic interpretation for rotation parameters that are involved in both classical and quantum models. In the end, instead of interpreting these parameters as a similarity measure between questions, we propose that they emerge due to the lack of knowledge concerned with a personal basis state and also due to uncertainties towards the state of the world and towards the context of the questions.

The Universal Concept Of Finite Repetance  With Equity, Modification Or Absence Of  Repetance (UCFR), How Mathematics Is Incomplete
Creators: name: Riedel, Bjørn Leon Søren
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The Universal Concept of Finite Repetance (UCFR), and within it the Concept Of Cinite Repetance (CFR)Set Theory present a novel interdisciplinary framework bridging mathematical logic, quantum mechanics, and epistemology. By introducing non-commutative quantifiers (∀, ∃) , not Hankin Quantifiers, as fundamental operators, the theory reformulates predicate logic to model quantum measurement as a logical phase transition resolving wavefunction collapse without additional axioms. Further, UCFR proposes *commutative quantifiers* (unexplored in standard logic) to describe pre-measurement superposition states, offering a unified epistemic-ontic symmetry. Endorsed by Doron Zeilberger, this work challenges conventional logico-physical boundaries, suggesting punctuated equilibrium dynamics in quantum observation. The implications span foundations of mathematics, quantum gravity, and computational irreducibility. A full formalization is not archived on arXiv/Zenodo with open peer-review because all deposits are denying it vehement.

GPU-based reconstruction and data compression at ALICE during LHC Run 3
Creators: name: Rohr, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: In LHC Run 3, ALICE will increase the data taking rate significantly to 50 kHz continuous read out of minimum bias Pb-Pb collisions. The reconstruction strategy of the online offline computing upgrade foresees a first synchronous online reconstruction stage during data taking enabling detector calibration, and a posterior calibrated asynchronous reconstruction stage. The significant increase in the data rate poses challenges for online and offline reconstruction as well as for data compression. Compared to Run 2, the online farm must process 50 times more events per second and achieve a higher data compression factor. ALICE will rely on GPUs to perform real time processing and data compression of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detector in real time, the biggest contributor to the data rate. With GPUs available in the online farm, we are evaluating their usage also for the full tracking chain during the asynchronous reconstruction for the silicon Inner Tracking System (ITS) and Transition Radiation Detector (TRD). The software is written in a generic way, such that it can also run on processors on the WLCG with the same reconstruction output. We give an overview of the status and the current performance of the reconstruction and the data compression implementations on the GPU for the TPC and for the global reconstruction.

Year: 2019

description: The EGI Cloud Compute service offers a multi-cloud IaaS federation that brings together research clouds as a scalable computing platform for research accessible with OpenID Connect Federated Identity. The federation is not limited to single sign-on, it also introduces features to facilitate the portability of applications across providers: i) a common VM image catalogue VM image replication to ensure these images will be available at providers whenever needed; ii) a GraphQL information discovery API to understand the capacities and capabilities available at each provider; and iii) integration with orchestration tools (such as Infrastructure Manager) to abstract the federation and facilitate using heterogeneous providers. EGI also monitors the correct function of every provider and collects usage information across all the infrastructure. DODAS (Dynamic On Demand Analysis Service) is an open-source Platform-as-a-Service tool, which allows to deploy software applications over heterogeneous and hybrid clouds. DODAS is one of the so-called Thematic Services of the EOSC-hub project and it instantiates on-demand container-based clusters offering a high level of abstraction to users, allowing to exploit distributed cloud infrastructures with a very limited knowledge of the underlying technologies. This work presents a comprehensive overview of DODAS integration with EGI Cloud Federation, reporting the experience of the integration with CMS Experiment submission infrastructure system.

Born in Tucson, Arizona to a musical family, Kay was encouraged by both his mother and her brother, Joe “King” Oliver, to study piano, violin and saxophone. He entered the University of Arizona in 1934, receiving the Bachelor of Music in 1938. For the next two years he studied composition at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, with Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson, and received the Masters in Music in 1940. From 1941 to 1942 he studied with Paul Hindemith at Tanglewood and at Yale University. Compositions from this period include the “Sinfonietta for Orchestra,” the ballet “Danse Calinda,” and “Three Fanfares for Four Trumpets.”

description: We analyze time evolution of statistical distributions of citations to scientific papers published in one year. While these distributions can be fitted by a power-law dependence we find that they are nonstationary and the exponent of the power law fit decreases with time and does not come to saturation. We attribute the nonstationarity of citation distributions to different longevity of the low-cited and highly-cited papers. By measuring citation trajectories of papers we found that citation careers of the low-cited papers come to saturation after 10-15 years while those of the highly-cited papers continue to increase indefinitely: the papers that exceed some citation threshold become runaways. Thus, we show that although citation distribution can look as a power-law, it is not scale-free and there is a hidden dynamic scale associated with the onset of runaways. We compare our measurements to our recently developed model of citation dynamics based on copying/redirection/triadic closure and find explanations to our empirical observations.

Astronomy in Africa: Projects and activities of the African Astronomical Society and the Road to the first IAU General Assembly on the African continent
Creators: name: Takalana, Charles
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Africa has amazing potential through its geographic advantage of dark skies. Astronomy activities on the African continent have burgeoned through various developments in terms of infrastructure and human capacity through investments by government and various institutions in Africa and from across the world over the last two decades. This vibrant community of astronomers continues to grow, supported by the African Astronomical Society (AfAS), which was relaunched in 2019. AfAS strives to play an essential part in astronomy in Africa by coordinating the network of astronomers, promoting astronomy research collaborations, encouraging astronomy study and applications, and advising government stakeholders on astronomy-related policies. The Society takes steps to guarantee that Africa sustains an astronomical environment that is stable and capable of supporting knowledge-based economies. More evidence of the rapid growth of astronomy in the continent can also be seen through the winning of the bid to host the mid-frequency component of what will be the world's largest radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), and hosting for the first time on African soil the International Astronomical Union General Assembly (IAU-GA) in 2024. This contribution will summarise the projects and activities across the continent in terms of Science, Education, Development and Outreach and how the African community is coming together, working towards a shared vision to build a legacy beyond the IAU-GA2024.

description: Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy (MIM) measurement of photoconductivity with 50 nm resolution is demonstrated using a modulated optical source. The use of a modulated source allows for measurement of photoconductivity in a single scan without a reference region on the sample, as well as removing most topographical artifacts and enhancing signal to noise as compared with unmodulated measurement. A broadband light source with tunable monochrometer is then used to measure energy resolved photoconductivity with the same methodology. Finally, a pulsed optical source is used to measure local photo-carrier lifetimes via MIM, using the same 50 nm resolution tip.

description: To observe my 50th birthday in 1982, I conceived Igor’s Goriest Tune and sent it out to friends, colleagues and family members. In 1987 IGT became part of a limited edition of graphic–texts—IMAGE: a collection (with four pieces of mine and works by Jim Randall, Bob Paredes, Jane Coppock, Ben Boretz, and Catherine Schieve; the first publication of OPEN SPACE in 1989 was IMAGE ). IGT also appeared in e: an anthology, a collection of my writings and graphics (1975–1995) published by OPEN SPACE. And so, to celebrate, to celebrate—echoes of Purcell flood in!—David Gutkin’s invitation to participate in this issue of Current Musicology, here’s Igor!
Distant perturbations of the Laplacian in a multi-dimensional space

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^n$ perturbed by a finite number of distant perturbations those are abstract localized operators. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum as the distances between perturbations tend to infinity. The main results are the convergence theorem and the asymptotics expansions for the eigenelements. Some examples of the possible distant perturbations are given; they are potential, second order differential operator, magnetic Schrodinger operator, integral operator, and $\d$-potential.
Entropy budget for Hawking evaporation

description: Blackbody radiation, emitted from a furnace and described by a Planck spectrum, contains (on average) an entropy of $3.9\pm 2.5$ bits per photon. Since normal physical burning is a unitary process, this amount of entropy is compensated by the same amount of "hidden information" in correlations between the photons. The importance of this result lies in the posterior extension of this argument to the Hawking radiation from black holes, demonstrating that the assumption of unitarity leads to a perfectly reasonable entropy/information budget for the evaporation process. In order to carry out this calculation we adopt a variant of the "average subsystem" approach, but consider a tripartite pure system that includes the influence of the rest of the universe, and which allows "young" black holes to still have a non-zero entropy; which we identify with the standard Bekenstein entropy.

description: In recent years, social media has emerged as a powerful force in contemporary global politics, transforming the way people engage with political actors and consume information about political events. While the potential benefits of social media are many, including increased citizen empowerment and democratic participation, its drawbacks cannot be ignored. The spread of misinformation, the erosion of trust in political institutions, and the manipulation of public opinion are among the challenges posed by social media. This article delves into the complex and multi-dimensional impacts of social media on global politics, emphasizing the need for critical examination and the development of policies that promote democratic values and civic participation. It highlights the significance of understanding how social media is used in both democratic and authoritarian societies. Authoritarian regimes exploit social media to control information, suppress dissent, and propagate their agendas. The article provides valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of social media for democracy, human rights, and global security. Policymakers, academics, and citizens alike must engage in ongoing research to fully understand the implications of social media on contemporary global politics.

description: ALICE Experiment is currently undergoing a major upgrade program, both in terms of hardware and software, to prepare for the LHC Run 3. A new Software Framework is being developed in collaboration with the FAIR experiments at GSI to cope with the 100 fold increase in collected collisions. We present our progress to adapt such a framework for the end user physics data analysis. In particular, we will highlight the design and technology choices. We will show how we adopt Apache Arrow as a platform for our in memory analysis data layout. We will illustrate the benefits of this solution, such as: efficient and parallel data processing, interoperability with a large number of analysis tools and ecosystems, integration with the modern ROOT declarative analysis framework RDataFrame.

description: We show how to carry out quantum logical operations (controlled-not and Toffoli gates) on encoded qubits for several encodings which protect against various 1-bit errors. This improves the reliability of these operations by allowing one to correct for one bit errors which either preexisted or occurred in course of operation. The logical operations we consider allow one to cary out the vast majority of the steps in the quantum factoring algorithm. Thus, our results help bring quantum factoring and other quantum computations closer to reality

Mechanisms of Dispersion in a Porous Medium

description: This paper studies the mechanisms of dispersion in the laminar flow through the pore space of a $3$-dimensional porous medium. We focus on pre-asymptotic transport prior to the asymptotic hydrodynamic dispersion regime, in which solute motion may be described by the average flow velocity and a hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient. High performance numerical flow and transport simulations of solute breakthrough at the outlet of a sand-like porous medium evidence marked deviations from the hydrodynamic dispersion paradigm and identifies two distinct regimes. The first regime is characterized by a broad distribution of advective residence times in single pores. The second regime is characterized by diffusive mass transfer into low-velocity region in the wake of solute grains. These mechanisms are quantified systematically in the framework of a time-domain random walk for the motion of marked elements (particles) of the transported material quantity. The model is parameterized with the characteristics of the porous medium under consideration and captures both pre-asymptotic regimes. Macroscale transport is described by an integro-differential equation for solute concentration, whose memory kernels are given in terms of the distribution of mean pore velocities and trapping times. This approach quantifies the physical non-equilibrium caused by a broad distribution of mass transfer time scales, both advective and diffusive, on the representative elementary volume (REV). Thus, while the REV indicates the scale at which medium properties like porosity can be uniquely defined, this does not imply that transport can be characterized by hydrodynamic dispersion.
