description: Given a dataset of input states, measurements, and probabilities, is it possible to efficiently predict the measurement probabilities associated with a quantum circuit? Recent work of Caro and Datta (2020) studied the problem of PAC learning quantum circuits in an information theoretic sense, leaving open questions of computational efficiency. In particular, one candidate class of circuits for which an efficient learner might have been possible was that of Clifford circuits, since the corresponding set of states generated by such circuits, called stabilizer states, are known to be efficiently PAC learnable (Rocchetto 2018). Here we provide a negative result, showing that proper learning of CNOT circuits is hard for classical learners unless $\textsf{RP} = \textsf{NP}$. As the classical analogue and subset of Clifford circuits, this naturally leads to a hardness result for Clifford circuits as well. Additionally, we show that if $\textsf{RP} = \textsf{NP}$ then there would exist efficient proper learning algorithms for CNOT and Clifford circuits. By similar arguments, we also find that an efficient proper quantum learner for such circuits exists if and only if $\textsf{NP} \subseteq \textsf{RQP}$.

description: The precise determination of a displacement of a mechanical oscillator or a microwave field in a predetermined direction in phase space can be carried out with trapped ions or superconducting circuits, respectively, by coupling the oscillator with ancilla qubits. Through that coupling, the displacement information is transferred to the qubits which are then subsequently read out. However, unambiguous estimation of displacement in an unknown direction in the phase space has not been attempted in such oscillator-qubit systems. Here, we propose a hybrid oscillator-qubit interferometric setup for the unambiguous estimation of phase space displacements in an arbitrary direction, based on feasible Rabi interactions beyond the rotating-wave approximation. Using such a hybrid Rabi interferometer for quantum sensing, we show that the performance is superior to the ones attained by single-mode estimation schemes and a conventional interferometer based on Jaynes-Cummings interactions. Moreover, we find that the sensitivity of the Rabi interferometer is independent of the thermal occupation of the oscillator mode, and thus cooling it to the ground state before sensing is not required. We also perform a thorough investigation of the effect of qubit dephasing and oscillator thermalization. We find the interferometer to be fairly robust, outperforming different benchmark estimation schemes even for large dephasing and thermalization.

description: In this paper, we consider a resilient consensus problem for the multi-agent network where some of the agents are subject to Byzantine attacks and may transmit erroneous state values to their neighbors. In particular, we develop an event-triggered update rule to tackle this problem as well as reduce the communication for each agent. Our approach is based on the mean subsequence reduced (MSR) algorithm with agents being capable to communicate with multi-hop neighbors. Since delays are critical in such an environment, we provide necessary graph conditions for the proposed algorithm to perform well with delays in the communication. We highlight that through multi-hop communication, the network connectivity can be reduced especially in comparison with the common onehop communication case. Lastly, we show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by a numerical example.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Trichophthalma philippii (Papavero 1968: 5).
REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 53) described Trichophthalma philippii, without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from R.A. Philippi. Costa (1866: 36) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “819”. We also found one syntype in this study. Rondani used the spelling “ philippii ” (p. 53) in his description but “ philippiana ” in the index (p. 98). Acting as First Revisers (according to I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 24.2.3), we consider philippiana as an incorrect original spelling. Rondani (1863) used the name “ Thrieophthalma ” in the index (p. 98), which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Trichophthalma Westwood, 1835 (O’Hara et al. 2011: 179).

description: We discuss a variety of codimension-one, non-invertible topological defects in general 3+1d QFTs with a discrete one-form global symmetry. These include condensation defects from higher gauging of the one-form symmetries on a codimension-one manifold, each labeled by a discrete torsion class, and duality and triality defects from gauging in half of spacetime. The universal fusion rules between these non-invertible topological defects and the one-form symmetry surface defects are determined. Interestingly, the fusion coefficients are generally not numbers, but 2+1d TQFTs, such as invertible SPT phases, $\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge theories, and $U(1)_N$ Chern-Simons theories. The associativity of these algebras over TQFT coefficients relies on nontrivial facts about 2+1d TQFTs. We further prove that some of these non-invertible symmetries are intrinsically incompatible with a trivially gapped phase, leading to nontrivial constraints on renormalization group flows. Duality and triality defects are realized in many familiar gauge theories, including free Maxwell theory, non-abelian gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups, ${\cal N}=1,$ and ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theories.

description: It has been shown earlier that Noether symmetry does not admit a form of F(R) corresponding to an action in which F(R) is coupled to scalar-tensor action for gravity or even for pure F(R) gravity taking anisotropic model into account. Here, we prove that F(R) theory of gravity does not admit Noether symmetry even if it is coupled to Tachyonic field and considering a gauge in addition. To handle such a theory, a general conserved current has been constructed under a condition which decouples higher order curvature part from the field part. This condition in principle, solves for the scale factor, independently. Thus cosmological evolution remains independent of the form of the chosen field, whether it be a scalar or a tachyon.

description: Ralph Lainson was a distinguished protozoologist and a parasitologist of many abilities. Above all, he was a naturalist, as reflected both by his approach to work and by his two principal hobbies, fishing and collecting butterflies. Besides this, he had a strong artistic streak, expressed by his love of playing the trombone and painting. Many of his published works are exquisitely illustrated with his own watercolour and pen and ink drawings. These talents are present throughout his scientific career. He was a ‘traditional protozoologist’, who wanted to find out how parasites were transmitted and related to each other. Although many of the organisms he discovered were associated with a disease, Ralph openly admitted that his ultimate interest would always be the parasite. His research methods were simple, but he would readily embrace a technology if it solved his problem. He admitted to not being good with equipment. As an example, he mentioned an aptitude test used by the British Army: to put together a dismantled bicycle tyre pump—for him this was an impossible task! This shows his ability to use such tales to get others to do tasks he preferred not to, as they distracted him. His self-control was remarkable; in the 30 years that we worked together, I cannot remember a single instance of him raising his voice to anybody. He was extremely dedicated to whatever he did, be it work, hobbies or play. His stories at the dinner table or around a campfire, when out in the field, were a source of joy that reflected his good nature.
Functional relations for elliptic polylogarithms

description: Numerous examples of functional relations for multiple polylogarithms are known. For elliptic polylogarithms, however, tools for the exploration of functional relations are available, but only very few relations are identified. Starting from an approach of Zagier and Gangl, which in turn is based on considerations about an elliptic version of the Bloch group, we explore functional relations between elliptic polylogarithms and link them to the relations which can be derived using the elliptic symbol formalism. The elliptic symbol formalism in turn allows for an alternative proof of the validity of the elliptic Bloch relation. While the five-term identity is the prime example of a functional identity for multiple polylogarithms and implies many dilogarithm identities, the situation in the elliptic setup is more involved: there is no simple elliptic analogue, but rather a whole class of elliptic identities.
Causal structure in the presence of sectorial constraints, with application to the quantum switch

description: Existing work on quantum causal structure assumes that one can perform arbitrary operations on the systems of interest. But this condition is often not met. Here, we extend the framework for quantum causal modelling to situations where a system can suffer sectorial constraints, that is, restrictions on the orthogonal subspaces of its Hilbert space that may be mapped to one another. Our framework (a) proves that a number of different intuitions about causal relations turn out to be equivalent; (b) shows that quantum causal structures in the presence of sectorial constraints can be represented with a directed graph; and (c) defines a fine-graining of the causal structure in which the individual sectors of a system bear causal relations. As an example, we apply our framework to purported photonic implementations of the quantum switch to show that while their coarse-grained causal structure is cyclic, their fine-grained causal structure is acyclic. We therefore conclude that these experiments realize indefinite causal order only in a weak sense. Notably, this is the first argument to this effect that is not rooted in the assumption that the causal relata must be localized in spacetime.
The glass susceptibility: growth kinetics and saturation under shear

description: We study the growth kinetics of glassy correlations in a structural glass by monitoring the evolution, within mode-coupling theory, of a suitably defined three-point function $χ_C(t,t_w)$ with time $t$ and waiting time $t_w$. From the complete wave vector-dependent equations of motion for domain growth we pass to a schematic limit to obtain a numerically tractable form. We find that the peak value $χ_C^P$ of $χ_C(t,t_w)$, which can be viewed as a correlation volume, grows as $t_w^{0.5}$, and the relaxation time as $t_w^{0.8}$, following a quench to a point deep in the glassy state. These results constitute a theoretical explanation of the simulation findings of Parisi [J. Phys. Chem. B {\bf 103}, 4128 (1999)] and Kob and Barrat [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 78}, 4581 (1997)] and are also in qualitative agreement with Parsaeian and Castillo [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 78}, 060105(R) (2008)]. On the other hand, if the quench is to a point on the {\em liquid side}, the correlation volume grows to saturation. We present a similar calculation for the growth kinetics in a $p$-spin spin glass mean-field model where we find a slower growth, $χ_C^P \sim t_w^{0.13}$. Further, we show that a shear rate $\gdot$ cuts off the growth of glassy correlations when $t_w\sim 1/\gdot$ for quench in the glassy regime and $t_w=\min(t_r,1/\gdot)$ in the liquid, where $t_r$ is the relaxation time of the unsheared liquid. The relaxation time of the steady state fluid in this case is $\propto \gdot^{-0.8}$.

description: We present a computational study on the impact of tensile/compressive uniaxial ($\varepsilon_{xx}$) and biaxial ($\varepsilon_{xx}=\varepsilon_{yy}$) strain on monolayer MoS$_{2}$ NMOS and PMOS FETs. The material properties like band structure, carrier effective mass and the multi-band Hamiltonian of the channel, are evaluated using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). Using these parameters, self-consistent Poisson-Schrödinger solution under the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism is carried out to simulate the MOS device characteristics. 1.75$%$ uniaxial tensile strain is found to provide a minor (6$%$) ON current improvement for the NMOSFET, whereas same amount of biaxial tensile strain is found to considerably improve the PMOSFET ON currents by 2-3 times. Compressive strain however degrades both NMOS and PMOS device performance. It is also observed that the improvement in PMOSFET can be attained only when the channel material becomes indirect-gap in nature. We further study the performance degradation in the quasi-ballistic long channel regime using a projected current method.

description: Basal crevasses are macroscopic structural discontinuities at the base of ice sheets and glaciers. Motivated by observations and the mechanics of elastic fracture, we hypothesise that in the presence of basal water pressure, spatial variations in basal stress can promote and localise basal crevassing. We quantify this process in the theoretical context of linear elastic fracture mechanics. We develop a model evaluating the effect of shear stress variation on the growth of basal crevasses. Our results indicate that sticky patches promote the initiation of basal crevasses, increase their length of propagation into the ice and, under some conditions, give them curved trajectories that incline upstream. A detailed exploration of the parameter space is conducted to gain a better understanding of the conditions under which sticky-patch-induced basal crevassing likely occurs beneath ice sheets and glaciers.

description: Long-distance quantum communication relies on storing and retrieving photonic qubits in orthogonal field modes. The available degrees of freedom for photons are polarization, spatial-mode profile, and temporal/spectral profile. To date, methods exist for decomposing, manipulating, and analyzing photons into orthogonal polarization modes and spatial modes. Here we propose and theoretically verify the first highly efficient method to carry out analogous operations for temporally and spectrally overlapping, but field-orthogonal, temporal modes. The method relies on cascaded nonlinear-optical quantum frequency conversion.

description: Large-field inflation is a major class of inflation models featuring a near- or super-Planckian excursion of the inflaton field. We point out that the large excursion generically introduces significant scale dependence to spectator fields through inflaton couplings, which in turn induces characteristic distortions to the oscillatory shape dependence in the primordial bispectrum mediated by a spectator field. This so-called cosmological collider signal can thus be a useful indicator of large field excursions. We show an explicit example with signals from the "tower states" motivated by the swampland distance conjecture.

description: The aim of the study was to establish the seroprevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) among cattle and small ruminants received at abattoirs in Ilorin, Nigeria. A total of 643 blood samples were taken from 324 cattle and 319 sheep and goats. These samples were screened for CBPP and CCPP using rapid latex agglutination tests. The majority were from the north of Nigeria. Sera from cattle were screened for the causative mycoplasma of CBPP, Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) and small ruminants were screened for the presence of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp), the cause of CCPP, using specific latex agglutination tests. Clinical signs including specific clinical signs associated with CBPP were also assessed. A prevalence rate of just over 56% was recorded for CBPP. In all, 22 of 324 cattle showed clinical signs but only 10 showed specific clinical signs associated with CBPP infection such as dyspnoea, nasal discharge and cough. A CCPP prevalence rate of about 33% was found among the small ruminants. In total, 52 of 319 small ruminants showed clinical signs of disease but only 22 of these were associated with seropositivity. The high seroprevalence of CBPP and CCPP in this study is suggestive of extensive CBPP and CCPP infection in Ilorin, Nigeria.

description: Self-supervised learning (SSL) learns knowledge from a large amount of unlabeled data, and then transfers the knowledge to a specific problem with a limited number of labeled data. SSL has achieved promising results in various domains. This work addresses the problem of segment-level general audio SSL, and proposes a new transformer-based teacher-student SSL model, named ATST. A transformer encoder is developed on a recently emerged teacher-student baseline scheme, which largely improves the modeling capability of pre-training. In addition, a new strategy for positive pair creation is designed to fully leverage the capability of transformer. Extensive experiments have been conducted, and the proposed model achieves the new state-of-the-art results on almost all of the downstream tasks.

description: This document reviews the efforts dedicated to the development and implementation of interoperability channels among euCanSHare components, as well as the creation of uniformed connections with external consumers and services. A common OIDC-based euCanSHare-ID service is put in place to wrap in key eucanSHare platform components (section 3.1). A network of epidemiological databases is feeding the euCanSHare catalogue enabling multi-cohort harmonization studies, even in a federated manner (section 3.2). Additionally, European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA) and Euro-Bioimaging (EuBi) are leveraged into the platform as permanent data repositories for omics and bioimaging datasets respectively (section 2.1). They provide efficient data distribution channels within euCanSHare by means of robust streaming REST APIs, or more complex systems like user-specific FUSE-enabled remote access to encrypted files over SFTP (section 3.3). Like that, euCanSHare modules as the analysis portal are able to offer researchers an integrated view of the repository’s datasets, both public and protected, together with analysis tools and pipelines (section 3.3.3). For that, repositories’ native authentication/authorization mechanisms are employed, which represents a challenge for achieving a complete integration of the system’s components, and therefore, further developments are being carried out in the euCanSHare scope in order to offer a common and standardized way for accessing data (section 4.).

description: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide and is a huge economic burden. The management of stroke is time dependant. Shorter times result in reduced mortality and morbidity. National Guidelines in Ireland suggest a door-to-treatment time of one hour or less from presentation to the emergency department. Despite this recommendation, delays are still occurring for patients accessing timely treatment. This quality improvement project was carried out in a busy North Dublin hospital- one of the largest acute stroke centres in Ireland. A total of nine patient journeys were followed and door-to-treatment times were documented over a three-month period. Five of these patients presented out-of-hours and four presented in-hours, whilst a specialised stroke team was on-site. The average door-to-treatment time for a stroke patient presenting out-of-hours was 72 minutes, whereas, the average door-to-treatment time for a stroke presenting in-hours was 54.25 minutes. The DMAIC framework and QI tools guided this project and recommendations were made following data analysis, to meet the aim to reduce door-to-needle times or acute ischaemic stroke patients. These included regular on-site teaching by the stroke team, improving communication with the emergency services to ensure pre-alert to an incoming FAST positive patient and the presence of a stroke crash trolley within the radiology department. Following implementation of these changes, a plan will be put in place to monitor and sustain improvements. This quality improvement plan requires a collaborative team approach to meet the national guidelines in treating this important life-threatening condition.

description: The notion of shifted quantum groups has recently played an important role in algebraic geometry. This subtle modification of the original definition brings more flexibility in the representation theory of quantum groups. The first part of this paper presents new mathematical results for the shifted quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}(1)$ and quantum affine $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ algebras (resp. denoted $\ddot{U}_{q_1,q_2}^\boldsymbolμ(\mathfrak{gl}(1))$ and $\dot{U}_q^\boldsymbolμ(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$). It defines several new representations, including finite dimensional highest $\ell$-weight representations for the toroidal algebra, and a vertex representation of $\dot{U}_q^\boldsymbolμ(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$ acting on Hall-Littlewood polynomials. It also explores the relations between representations of $\dot{U}_q^\boldsymbolμ(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$ and $\ddot{U}_{q_1,q_2}^\boldsymbolμ(\mathfrak{gl}(1))$ in the limit $q_1\to\infty$ ($q_2$ fixed), and present the construction of several new intertwiners. These results are used in the second part to construct BPS observables for 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ and 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories. In particular, it is shown that 5d hypermultiplets and 3d chiral multiplets can be introduced in the algebraic engineering framework using shifted representations, and the Higgsing procedure is revisited from this perspective.

description: Nerius marginellus Rondani, 1848
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 84.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [Brazil]” (Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] (Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.
TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Odontoscelia marginellus (Steyskal 1968b: 5).
REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 84) described Nerius marginellus, without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. This is one of the few exotic species described in Rondani (1848b) that Costa (1866) did not list as in the MZUN. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil. We could not locate any type specimens of this nominal species during our study.

description: Human telomeric DNA can fold into G-quadruplex structures involving the interaction of four guanine bases in a square planar arrangement. The highly distinctive nature of quadruplex topologies suggests that they can act as novel therapeutic targets. In this study, we provide the evidence of human telomeric G4 destabilization in dilute and cell-mimicking molecular crowing conditions upon peptide binding. We have used three human telomeric sequences of different lengths. CD data showed that these sequences folded into anti-parallel G-quadruplex and CD intensity decreased significantly on increasing the peptide concentration. UV-thermal melting results showed significant decrease in hypochromicity due to formation of G4-peptide complex at 295 nm. Fluorescence data showed the quenching on titrating the peptide with human telomere G4. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay confirmed the unfolding of G4 structure. Cell viability was significantly reduced in the presence of QW5 peptide with IC50 values as 8.78 μM and 7.72 μM after 72 and 96 hours of incubation respectively. These results confirmed that QW5 peptide has an ability to bind and unfold to human telomeric G-quadruplex and hence might be the key modulator for targeting diseases having over-representation of G4 motifs and their destabilization will be helpful in increasing the efficiency of DNA replication, transcription or duplex reannealing.

description: We study a multi-functional device for cold atoms consisting of a three-terminal ring circuit pierced by a synthetic magnetic flux, where the ring can be continuous or discretized. The flux controls the atomic current through the ring via the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Our device shows a flux-induced transition of reflections from an Andreev-like negative density to positive density. Further, the flux can direct the atomic current into specific output ports, realizing a flexible non-reciprocal switch to connect multiple atomic systems or sense rotations. By changing the flux linearly in time, we convert constant matter wave currents into an AC modulated current. This effect can be used to realize an atomic frequency generator and study fundamental problems related to the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We experimentally demonstrate Bose-Einstein condensation into the light-shaped optical potential of the three-terminal ring. Our work opens up the possibility of novel atomtronic devices for practical applications in quantum technologies.

Subjects: Music

description: “The Ambient Chorales” (10 impressionistic works for solo chorus, inspired by the contemporary soundscapes composed by ambient composers ISHQ. Each of the Ambient Chorales is rooted in a land-, sea-, space-, or dreamscape.) Performers may wish to change their individual sound to either “oh” or “ah,” though in the first ambient chorale (“Atmospheres”), these sounds are meant to vary between the open (“ah”) and more closed (“oh”) sounds. Tempi and dynamics are open to interpretation by performers, though most in this set will last from 4-8 minutes, generally.

description: Objective: Ophthalmological pathologies such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are major causes of blindness and vision impairment. There is a need for novel decision support tools that can simplify and speed up the diagnosis of these pathologies. A key step in this process is to automatically estimate the quality of the fundus images to make sure these are interpretable by a human operator or a machine learning model. We present a novel fundus image quality scale and deep learning (DL) model that can estimate fundus image quality relative to this new scale. Methods: A total of 1,245 images were graded for quality by two ophthalmologists within the range 1-10, with a resolution of 0.5. A DL regression model was trained for fundus image quality assessment. The architecture used was Inception-V3. The model was developed using a total of 89,947 images from 6 databases, of which 1,245 were labeled by the specialists and the remaining 88,702 images were used for pre-training and semi-supervised learning. The final DL model was evaluated on an internal test set (n=209) as well as an external test set (n=194). Results: The final DL model, denoted FundusQ-Net, achieved a mean absolute error of 0.61 (0.54-0.68) on the internal test set. When evaluated as a binary classification model on the public DRIMDB database as an external test set the model obtained an accuracy of 99%. Significance: the proposed algorithm provides a new robust tool for automated quality grading of fundus images.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus ditionis parmensis [Parmese hills (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (only part of the thorax remains) (MZUF: Box 34): Geomyza Mgn / bracata Rnd. / 1791 / Holotypus Geomyza bracata Rnd., ♂, desig. Á. Soós, 1979 / Geomyza tripunctata Fall., ♂, det. Á. Soós, 1979 / Geomyza bracata.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Geomyza tripunctata Fallén, 1823 (Soós 1984e: 56).
REMARKS: Rondani (1875a: 253) described Geomyza bracata from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ lectus mas tantum [collected the male only]”. Árpad Soós labeled the single MZUF male as “ holotype ” but he never indicated this specimen as holotype in any of his publication (E.P. Nartshuk & J.W.A. van Zuijlen, pers. comm., 2012). We consider it as a syntype because Rondani did not specify he had a single specimen.

description: The implicit particle filter seeks to mitigate particle degeneracy by identifying particles in the target distribution's high-probability regions. This study is motivated by the need to enhance computational tractability in implementing this approach. We investigate the connection of the particle update step in the implicit particle filter with that of the Kalman filter and then formulate a novel realization of the implicit particle filter based on a bank of nonlinear Kalman filters. This realization is more amenable and efficient computationally.

description: We compute the conservative two-body Hamiltonian of a compact binary system with a spinning black hole through $\mathcal{O}(G^3)$ to all orders in velocity, including linear and quadratic spin terms. To obtain our results we calculate the classical limit of the two-loop amplitude for the scattering of a massive scalar particle with a massive spin-1 particle minimally coupled to gravity. We employ modern scattering amplitude and loop integration techniques, in particular numerical unitarity, integration-by-parts identities, and the method of regions. The conservative potential in terms of rest-frame spin vectors is extracted by matching to a non-relativistic effective field theory. We also apply the Kosower-Maybee-O'Connell (KMOC) formalism to calculate the impulse in the covariant spin formalism directly from the amplitude. We work systematically in conventional dimensional regularization and explicitly evaluate all divergent integrals that appear in full- and effective-theory amplitudes, as well as in the phase-space integrals that arise in the KMOC formalism.
