description: We investigate the unflavoured Schur indices of class $\mathcal S$ theories of modest rank, and in the case of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with special unitary gauge group of somewhat more general rank, with an eye towards their modular properties. We find closed form expressions for many of these theories in terms of quasimodular forms of level one or two, with the curious feature that in general they are sums of quasimodular forms of different weights. For type $\mathfrak{a}_1$ theories, the index can be fixed by taking a simple Ansatz for the family of quasimodular forms appearing in the expansion of this type and demanding that the result be sufficiently regular as $q\to0$. For higher rank cases, an equally simple construction is lacking, but we nevertheless find that these indices can be expressed in terms of mixed-weight quasimodular forms.

description: In recent years entanglement measures, such as the von Neumann and the Rényi entropies, provided a unique opportunity to access elusive feature of quantum many-body systems. However, extracting entanglement properties analytically, experimentally, or in numerical simulations can be a formidable task. Here, by combining the replica trick and the Jarzynski equality we devise a new effective out-of-equilibrium protocol for measuring the equilibrium Rényi entropies. The key idea is to perform a quench in the geometry of the replicas. The Rényi entropies are obtained as the exponential average of the work performed during the quench. We illustrate an application of the method in classical Monte Carlo simulations, although it could be useful in different contexts, such as in Quantum Monte Carlo, or experimentally in cold-atom systems. The method is most effective in the quasi-static regime, i.e., for a slow quench, where it allows to obtain the Rényi entropies in a single realization of the protocol. As a benchmark, we present results for the Rényi entropies in the Ising universality class in $1$$+$$1$ dimensions, which are found in perfect agreement with the well-known Conformal Field Theory (CFT) predictions.

description: To analyse the cost-effectiveness (CE) of implementing different newborn hearing screening protocols in a low- to middle-income country. A decision analytical model with a 78-year time horizon. Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs were collected from 126 subjects in southern Thailand. Various protocols involving universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) and targeted newborn hearing screening (TNHS), using two technologies, namely automated otoacoustic emissions (aOAEs) and automated auditory brainstem responses (aABRs), were evaluated. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated for all protocols in United States dollars (US$)/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Also, probabilistic sensitivity analyses with 1000 trials for each specific protocol were performed. The ICERs of UNHS with aOAE, UNHS with aABR, TNHS with aABR and UNHS with optimised baseline parameters were 3702, 3545, 1545 and 2483 US$/QALY gained, respectively. With the CE threshold of 5000 US$/QALY gained, the chances of ICERs to be cost-effective for UNHS with aOAE, UNHS with aABR, TNHS with aABR and UNHS with optimised baseline parameters were 72, 77, 93 and 94%, respectively. All screening protocols were considered as cost-effective, and a very high chance of being cost-effective for UNHS could be achieved when certain baseline parameters were optimised.
Self-testing of multipartite GHZ states of arbitrary local dimension with arbitrary number of measurements per party

description: Device independent certification schemes have gained a lot of interest lately, not only for their applications in quantum information tasks but also their implications towards foundations of quantum theory. The strongest form of device independent certification, known as self-testing, often requires for a Bell inequality to be maximally violated by specific quantum states and measurements. In this work, using the techniques developed recently in [S. Sarkar et al., npj Quantum Inf. 7, 151 (2021)], we provide the first self-testing scheme for the multipartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states of arbitrary local dimension that does not rely on self-testing results for qubit states and that exploits the minimal number of two measurements per party. This makes our results interesting as far as practical implementation of device-independent certification methods is concerned. Our self-testing statement relies on maximal violation of a Bell inequality proposed recently in [R. Augusiak et al., New J. Phys. 21, 113001 (2019)].

description: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by instability in emotions, relationships, and behaviors, such as self-injury and suicidal behavior. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an established intervention for BPD, but there are long waiting times for treatment. This study aimed to explore if a brief internet-delivered DBT skills training program with minimal therapist support is acceptable, that it can be administered, useful, and does not do harm for patients with BPD. Acceptability was measured through data on recruitment and attrition, utilization of the intervention, reported impulses to drop out, and through ratings on self-injury and suicidality. Participants were interviewed about their experiences of the intervention; analyzed with content analysis. Twenty patients on the waiting list for treatment at a DBT-clinic were invited and nine female patients (age 19–37 years) volunteered. The participants completed a large part of the intervention, which did not appear harmful since ratings of suicidal and self-harming behavior were similar before and after the intervention. In the interviews, participants stated that they had gained new knowledge and skills to manage situations, e.g. to stop and think before acting. Some even reported decreased levels of self-injury. The time spent on patient contact was short, and some patients reported difficulties to practice on their own and requested more support. The intervention seems to be acceptable. Future studies should investigate in what ways some BPD patients are more susceptible to internet-delivered skills training than others, and if this intervention could be delivered within a stepped-care model.

description: Control of nucleation sites is an important goal in materials growth: nuclei in regular arrays may show emergent photonic or electronic behavior, and once the nuclei coalesce into thin films, the nucleation density influences parameters such as surface roughness, stress, and grain boundary structure. Tailoring substrate properties to control nucleation is therefore a powerful tool for designing functional thin films and nanomaterials. Here, we examine nucleation control for metals deposited on two-dimensional (2D) materials in a situation where substrate effects are absent and heterogeneous nucleation sites are minimized. Through quantification of faceted, epitaxial Au island nucleation on graphene, we show that ultra-low nucleation densities with nuclei several micrometers apart can be achieved on suspended graphene under conditions where we measure the nucleation density to be 2-3 orders of magnitude higher on the adjacent supported substrate. We estimate diffusion distances using nucleation theory and find a strong sensitivity of nucleation and diffusion to suspended graphene thickness. We suggest that nucleation site density control via substrate tuning may act as a platform for applications where non-lithographic patterning of metals on graphene is beneficial.
Computational modelling of high-latitude local-scale thermospheric dynamics

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

A simplified three-dimensional local scale model has been developed to investigate high latitude thermospheric dynamics. The model’s spatial extent (resolution) is 1000 (20) km zonally, 600 (15) km meridionally and 300 km vertically, from 100-400 km altitude (750 m); a resolution that is higher than global models of the thermosphere. The cost for this increase is a smaller extent in the spatial domain. Unlike most other numerical models of the atmosphere, hydrostatic equilibrium is not enforced, which opens up a range of phenomena not usually modelled. The model was used to numerically evaluate a commonly used approximate relationship for deriving vertical winds from observations of horizontal divergence, called the Burnside Condition. The results show that the vertical wind response is more closely related to the total divergence field, rather than purely horizontal divergence. Additionally, the atmospheric response to heating of the ionosphere via ground based radio transmission instruments such as the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program’s (HAARP) Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), has been investigated to determine the magnitude of any atmospheric waves potentially excited. Waves were indeed generated in the model for realistic heating scenarios, however the magnitudes of these waves are at the limits of detection for current ground based instruments. As the heating efficiency of the IRI is not accurately known it may be possible that the atmospheric response is large enough for waves to be extracted from observational data. Finally, the spatial extent (resolution) of the model was decreased (increased) to 500 (2) km zonally, 300 (2) km meridionally and 100.5 km (750 m) vertically, from 75-175.5 km altitude. The energy deposition from pulsating aurora was then simulated to examine whether resulting pressure perturbations included infrasonic waves. Such waves have previously been observed at ground level, and are postulated to have propagated down from an auroral source. Simulations show that perturbations of sufficient magnitude can be produced that, with the results from de Larquier and Pasko [2009], suggest a possible mechanism for the propagation of such waves may exist.

description: Motivated by the latest discovery of doubly-charmed tetraquark $T^+_{cc}$ by LHCb collaboration, we have studied the magnetic moments of the possible doubly-heavy pentaquark states with quantum numbers $J^P = 1/2^-$ and $J^P = 3/2^-$ within the light-cone sum rules method. In the analysis, these possible pentaquark states are considered in diquark-diquark-antiquark structure. The magnetic moments of hadrons encode helpful details about the distributions of the charge and magnetization inside the hadrons, which help us to figure out their geometric configurations. As a by product, the electric quadrupole and magnetic octupole moments of the spin-3/2 doubly-heavy pentaquark states are also extracted. These values show a non-spherical charge distribution. It will be interesting and useful to examine the magnetic moments of these possible doubly-heavy pentaquark states with different theoretical approaches.

description: Turbulent natural convection is dominant mechanism of heat transfer in enclosed cavities. The simulation of transport phenomena in different enclosures is of paramount importance in industrial design and operation. The present research aimed to find the proper model for prediction of heat transfer mechanisms in rectangular and trapezoidal enclosures filled with air (Pr 0.71) in wide range of 109≤Ra≤1012. Five Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations (SA, standard k-ɛ, RNG k-ɛ, standard k-ω, SST k-ω) were solved numerically with finite volume method. The simulation results were fitted to the experimental data so as to reach the proper model for analysis of turbulent natural convection. It was concluded that the kε and kω models can well describe the heat transfer at low and high Ra numbers, respectively, for both enclosures. For prediction of transport phenomena in the entire range of Ra, it is proposed to develop two-equation eddy-viscosity models.

A 'no bullshit' approach to counselling in drought affected rural communities
Creators: name: Young, Jeffrey William
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A Thesis Submitted in Total Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the The Bouverie Centre, School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Previous evaluations have indicated that traditional counselling and service delivery models have been disappointing in engaging rural people affected by drought. As a result, The Bouverie Centre received funding from DHS late in 2006 to help state-funded drought counsellors develop approaches that work for rural people. A participatory action research co-operative inquiry methodology, supported by additional evaluations and quantitative tools was used to explore this task. A core data set was amassed from establishing Co-operative Inquiry Groups (CIGs) in each region across Victoria, with the aim of conceptualising, documenting and implementing effective drought counselling strategies. The research found that drought counsellors are often employed quickly, with little induction, unrealistic job descriptions and little support. Conceptualised as an intangible, intermittent, chronic, pervasive, disenfranchised natural disaster, the study found that drought can lead to community exhaustion and division and to individuals and families being vulnerable to emotional and social isolation. Because rural people affected by drought do not easily seek help, assertive outreach is required along with techniques that link assertive outreach strategies to assessable counselling services. Contrary to popular belief, the research found enough evidence to suggest that rural people experience talking to a trained counsellor as very helpful; however, culturally acceptable ways of presenting it, providing it and publicising it are required. This study supports the call made by previous drought counselling evaluations for coordinated policy, funding and service delivery across federal, state and local governments, which would allow an ongoing workforce to address the range of challenges facing rural communities, including drought, fire, flood, climate and socioeconomic changes. Ideas for building capacity in such a workforce, tentative models of counselling and service delivery are presented, along with suggestions for future research, in order to stimulate further thinking in this much needed, but neglected area.

description: The search of a sweet spot, locus in qubit parameters where quantum control is first-order insensitive to noises, is key to achieve high-fidelity quantum gates. Efforts to search for such a sweet spot in conventional double-quantum-dot singlet-triplet qubits where each dot hosts one electron ("two-electron singlet-triplet qubit"), especially for two-qubit operations, have been unsuccessful. Here we consider singlet-triplet qubits allowing each dot to host more than one electron, with a total of four electrons in the double quantum dots ("four-electron singlet-triplet qubit"). We theoretically demonstrate, using configuration-interaction calculations, that sweet spots appear in this coupled qubit system. We further demonstrate that, under realistic charge noise and hyperfine noise, two-qubit operation at the proposed sweet spot could offer gate fidelities ($\sim99\%$) that are higher than conventional two-electron singlet-triplet qubit system ($\sim90\%$). Our results should facilitate realization of high-fidelity two-qubit gates in singlet-triplet qubit systems.

Two impurities in a Bose-Einstein condensate: from Yukawa to Efimov attracted polarons
Creators: name: Naidon, Pascal
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The well-known Yukawa and Efimov potentials are two different mediated interaction potentials. The first one arises in quantum field theory from the exchange of virtual particles. The second one is mediated by a real particle resonantly interacting with two other particles. This Letter shows how two impurities immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate can exhibit both phenomena. For a weak impurity-boson attractive interactionattraction with the condensate, the two impurities form two polarons that interact through a weak Yukawa attraction mediated by virtual excitations. For a resonant attraction with the condensate, the exchanged excitation becomes a real boson and the mediated interaction changes to a strong Efimov attraction that can bind the two polarons. The resulting bipolarons turn into in-medium Efimov trimers made of the two impurities and one boson. Evidence of this physics could be seen in ultracold mixtures of atoms.

The new interaction suggested by the anomalous $^8$Be transition sets a rigorous constraint on the mass range of dark matter

description: The WIMPs are considered one of the favorable dark matter (DM) candidates, but as the upper bounds on the interactions between DM and standard model (SM) particles obtained by the upgraded facilities of DM direct detections get lower and lower. Researchers turn their attentions to search for less massive DM candidates, i.e. light dark matter of MeV scale. The recently measured anomalous transition in $^8$Be suggests that there exists a vectorial boson which may mediate the interaction between DM and SM particles. Based on this scenario, we combine the relevant cosmological data to constrain the mass range of DM, and have found that there exists a model parameter space where the requirements are satisfied, a range of $10.4 \lesssim m_ϕ \lesssim $ 16.7 MeV for scalar DM, and $13.6 \lesssim m_{V} \lesssim $ 16.7 MeV for vectorial DM is demanded. Then a possibility of directly detecting such light DM particles via the DM-electron scattering is briefly studied in this framework.

description: Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are known to recurrently enrich their surrounding medium with mildly-relativistic particles and magnetic fields. Here, we present a detailed multi-frequency analysis of the nearby (z=0.01646) galaxy group NGC 507. In particular, we present new high-sensitivity and high spatial resolution radio images in the frequency range 144-675 MHz obtained using LOFAR and uGMRT observations. These reveal the presence of previously undetected diffuse radio emission with complex, filamentary morphology, likely related to a previous outburst of the central galaxy. Based on spectral ageing considerations, we derived that the plasma was first injected by the AGN 240-380 Myr ago and is now cooling. Our analysis of deep archival XMM-Newton data confirms that the system is dynamically disturbed, as previously suggested. We detect two discontinuities in the X-ray surface brightness distribution (in East and South direction) tracing a spiral pattern, which we interpret as cold fronts produced by sloshing motions. The remarkable spatial coincidence observed between the newly-detected arc-like radio filament and the southern concave X-ray discontinuity strongly suggests that the remnant plasma has been displaced by the sloshing motions on large scales. Overall, NGC 507 represents one of the clearest examples known to date in which a direct interaction between old AGN remnant plasma and the external medium is observed in a galaxy group. Our results are consistent with simulations, which suggest that filamentary emission can be created by the cluster/group weather disrupting AGN lobes and spreading their relativistic content into the surrounding medium.

description: Abstract

The study investigates the application of inheritance patterns of sex-linked and sex-influenced traits in the development of auto-sexing breeds, emphasizing key traits such as plumage color, feather patterns, and feathering rates. Additionally, the economic advantages of utilizing sex-linked dwarfism in broiler breeding were studied, offering a understanding of how this genetic strategy reduces costs without compromising productivity. The sex-influenced traits were studied, focusing particularly on the dynamics of hen feathering and its implications for breeding practices. The comprehensive insights presented in this article contribute to the refinement of poultry breeding strategies, offering potential advancements in the production of healthier and more economically viable flocks.

description: Facial micro-expressions (MEs) are involuntary facial motions revealing peoples real feelings and play an important role in the early intervention of mental illness, the national security, and many human-computer interaction systems. However, existing micro-expression datasets are limited and usually pose some challenges for training good classifiers. To model the subtle facial muscle motions, we propose a robust micro-expression recognition (MER) framework, namely muscle motion-guided network (MMNet). Specifically, a continuous attention (CA) block is introduced to focus on modeling local subtle muscle motion patterns with little identity information, which is different from most previous methods that directly extract features from complete video frames with much identity information. Besides, we design a position calibration (PC) module based on the vision transformer. By adding the position embeddings of the face generated by PC module at the end of the two branches, the PC module can help to add position information to facial muscle motion pattern features for the MER. Extensive experiments on three public micro-expression datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

description: Bacillus sp. CL14 crude protease was partially characterized and applied to obtain antioxidant whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrolysates. Optimal activity occurred at pH 9.0 and 60 °C. Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+ (5 mM) enhanced activity (12–26%), whereas Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, and Zn2+ inhibited it (50–94%). At 1% (v/v), Tween 20 and Triton X-100 enhanced activities (21–27%), β-mercaptoethanol decreased it (15%), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) had no effect. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; 0.1%, w/v) increased activity by 36%. Complete inhibition by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and 85% inhibition by ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid, indicates its serine protease character and the importance of cations for activity/stability. With 5 mM Ca2+, protease was optimally active at 65 °C and completely stable after 20 min at 40–55 °C. Crude protease preferentially hydrolyzed WPI and soy protein, followed by casein. WPI hydrolysis was then performed (55 °C, pH 9.0, 5 mM Ca2+) for 0–180 min. Contents of trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble proteins in WPI hydrolysates (HWPI) increased from 29% (0 min) to 50–52% (60–180 min), accompanied by enhanced radical scavenging activity (14%, 0 min; ∼34%, 60–180 min) and Fe2+-chelating ability (56%, 0 min; ∼74%, 45–180 min). CL14 protease might represent an alternative biocatalyst to obtain antioxidant hydrolysates from WPI and, potentially, from other food proteins.

description: In the present context, we have assessed the green approach for the extraction of phenolics from agro-residues of rice viz., rice bran, and rice straw using water as an extracting solvent. The extraction was optimized with respect to time, temperature, pH, and solid (agro-residues) to liquid (water) ratio. The hydrolysates obtained were determined for phenolics and their antioxidant activities. The maximum total phenolic content (61.32 mg/100 g GAE), flavonoid content (13.19 mg/100 g QE), and tannin content (58.33 mg/100 g TAE) were obtained for rice bran followed by rice straw at pH 5, 1:20 (solid: liquid) for 10 min of extraction. Also, higher antioxidant properties (78.03% for DPPH, 86.45% for ABTS, and 0.85 absorbance at 700 nm for FRAP) were observed for the extracts of rice bran. Caffeic acid, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid, 2,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid, kaemferol, quercetin, and epicatechin were analyzed by HPLC in both the rice biomass used. This study significantly converts rice biomass to antioxidative phenolic compounds under simple extraction conditions favoring the waste management process and also adding value to the waste biomass.

description: In this paper we discuss the prospects to take a picture of an extended neutrino source, i.e., resolving its angular neutrino luminosity distribution. This is challenging since neutrino directions cannot be directly measured but only estimated from the directions of charged particles they interact with in the detector material. This leads to an intrinsic blurring effect. We first discuss the problem in general terms and then apply our insights to solar neutrinos scattering elastically with electrons. Despite the aforementioned blurring we show how with high statistics and precision the original neutrino distributions could be reconstructed.

description: There are five well-known zero modes among the fluctuations of the metric of de~Sitter (dS) spacetime. For Euclidean signature, they can be associated with certain spherical harmonics on the $S^4$ sphere, viz., the vector representation $\bf5$ of the global $SO(5)$ isometry. They appear, for example, in the perturbative calculation of the on-shell effective action of dS space, as well as in models containing matter fields. These modes are shown to be associated with collective modes of $S^4$ corresponding to certain coherent fluctuations. When dS space is embedded in flat five dimensions $E^5,$ they may be seen as a legacy of translation of the center of the $S^4$ sphere. Rigid translations of the $S^4$-sphere on $E^5$ leave the classical action invariant but are unobservable displacements from the point of view of gravitational dynamics on $S^4.$ Thus, unlike similar moduli, the center of the sphere is not promoted to a dynamical degree of freedom. As a result, these zero modes do not signify the possibility of physically realizable fluctuations or flat directions for the metric of dS space. They are not associated with Killing vectors on $S^4$ but can be with certain non-isometric, conformal Killing forms that locally correspond to a rescaling of the volume element $dV_4.$ For convenience, we frame our discussion in the context of renormalizable gravity, but the conclusions apply equally to the corresponding zero modes in Einstein gravity. We expect that these zero modes will be present to all orders in perturbation theory. They will occur for Lorentzian signature as well, so long as the hyperboloid $H^4$ is locally stable, but there remain certain infrared issues that need to be clarified. We conjecture that they will appear in any gravitational theory having dS background as a locally stable solution of the effective action, regardless of whether additional matter is included.
