description: Background and aims
 This poster presents the results of the first scoping review on the topic of 'post-award management' and 'reporting' in research (also frequently known as 'compliance' and 'grant management'). Funders use reporting to monitor, manage and account for the research they fund, however the effort involved is increasing and affects productivity and careers in research. The review offers a comprehensive summary of the processes and effort involved in post-award management, the solutions previously applied or improvements still to be needed, and the overall purpose of collecting information on research. The review also discusses the limited availability of evidence in this space, the limitations and future directions for research, and lists recommendations for funders and higher education institutions (HEIs).

 Conclusions and recommendations
 The need to manage and report on research is appreciated, but the effort involved can be considerable. Reports where this effort is perceived as unnecessary need the support of more rigorous evidence and consultations between stakeholders so that key administrative barriers to funding and research delivery can be addressed more collaboratively in a connected research environment. In the meantime, HEIs and researchers could benefit from more administrative support, training and guidance on reporting and 'impact’ in research, while funders could improve their methods of research assessments, reduce duplication and research waste in reporting.

description: In this paper, we extend a method recently reported [Phys. Rev. E 87, 042921 (2012)] for the calculation of the eigestates of classically highly chaotic systems to cases of mixed dynamics, i.e. those presenting regular and irregular motions at the same energy. The efficiency of the method, which is based on the use of a semiclassical basis set of localized wave functions, is demonstrated by applying it to the determination of the vibrational states of a realistic molecular system, namely the LiCN molecule.

description: We investigate the time evolution of statistical properties of a single mode radiation field after its interaction with a two-level atom. The entire system is described by a dispersive Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian assuming the atomic state evolving from an initial superposition of its excited and ground states, $\vert e\rangle +\vert g\rangle ,$ and the field evolving from an initial superposition of two excited levels, $\vert n_{1}\rangle+ \vert n_{2}\rangle$. It is found that the field evolution is periodic, the period depending on the ratio $n_{2}/n_{1}.$ The energy excitation oscillates between these two states and the statististics can be either sub- or super-Poissonian, depending on the values $n_{1},$ $n_{2}$.

description: An active swimmer can tow a passive cargo by binding it to form a self-propelling dimer. The orientation of the cargo relative to the axis of the active dimer's head is determined by the hydrodynamic interactions associated with the propulsion mechanism of the latter. We show how the tower-cargo angular configuration greatly influences the dimer's diffusivity and, therefore, the efficiency of the active swimmer as a micro-towing motor.

description: In a previous work [Int. J. Mod. Phys. E 24, 1550073 (2015)], hereafter referred as paper I, we have investigated the ground-state properties of Nd, Ce and Sm isotopes within Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with SLy5 skyrme force in which the pairing strength has been generalized with a new proposed formula. However, that formula is more appropriate for the region of Nd. In this work, we have studied the ground-state properties of both even-even and odd Mo and Ru isotopes. For this, we have used Hartree- Fock-Bogoliubov method with SLy4 skyrme force, and a new formula of the pairing strength which is more accurate for this region of nuclei. The results have been compared with available experimental data, the results of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations based on the D1S Gogny effective nucleon-nucleon interaction and predictions of some nuclear models such as Finite Range Droplet Model (FRDM) and Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) theory.

description: Task engagement is defined as loadings on energetic arousal (affect), task motivation, and concentration (cognition). It is usually challenging and expensive to label cognitive state data, and traditional computational models trained with limited label information for engagement assessment do not perform well because of overfitting. In this paper, we proposed two deep models (i.e., a deep classifier and a deep autoencoder) for engagement assessment with scarce label information. We recruited 15 pilots to conduct a 4-h flight simulation from Seattle to Chicago and recorded their electroencephalograph (EEG) signals during the simulation. Experts carefully examined the EEG signals and labeled 20 min of the EEG data for each pilot. The EEG signals were preprocessed and power spectral features were extracted. The deep models were pretrained by the unlabeled data and were fine-tuned by a different proportion of the labeled data (top 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) to learn new representations for engagement assessment. The models were then tested on the remaining labeled data. We compared performances of the new data representations with the original EEG features for engagement assessment. Experimental results show that the representations learned by the deep models yielded better accuracies for the six scenarios (77.09%, 80.45%, 83.32%, 85.74%, 85.78%, and 86.52%), based on different proportions of the labeled data for training, as compared with the corresponding accuracies (62.73%, 67.19%, 73.38%, 79.18%, 81.47%, and 84.92%) achieved by the original EEG features. Deep models are effective for engagement assessment especially when less label information was used for training.

description: We consider the recently suggested model of a multiverse based on a ferrofluid. When the ferrofluid is subjected to a modest external magnetic field, the nanoparticles inside the ferrofluid form small hyperbolic metamaterial domains, which from the electromagnetic standpoint behave as individual Minkowski universes exhibiting different laws of physics, such as different strength of effective gravity, different versions of MOND and different radiation lifetimes. When the ferrofluid multiverse is populated with atomic or molecular species, and these species are excited using an external laser source, the radiation lifetimes of atoms and molecules in these universes depend strongly on the individual physical properties of each universe via the Purcell effect. Some universes are better fine-tuned than others to sustain the excited states of these species. Thus, the ferrofluid-based metamaterial multiverse may be used to study models of MOND and to illustrate the fine-tuning mechanism in cosmology.

description: A novel solid state based charge qubit is presented. The system consists of a one-dimensional wire with a pair of qubits embedded at its center. It is shown that the system supports collective states localized in the left and right sides of the wire and therefore, as a whole, performs as a single qubit. The couplings between the ground and excited states of the two central qubits are inversely proportional making them fully asynchronized and allowing for coherent manipulation and gate operations. Initialization and measurement devices, such as leads and charge detectors, connected to the edges of the wire are modeled by a continuum of energy states. The coupling to the continuum is discussed using the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. At weak continuum coupling, all internal states uniformly acquire small decay widths. This changes dramatically as the coupling strength increases: the width distribution undergoes a sharp restructuring and is no longer uniformly divided among the eigenstates. Two broad resonances localized at the ends of the wire are formed. These superradiant states (analogous to Dicke states in quantum optics), effectively protect the remaining internal states from decaying into the continuum and hence increase the lifetime of the qubit. Environmental noise is introduced by considering random Gaussian fluctuations of electronic energies. The interplay between decoherence and superradiance is studied by solving the stochastic Liouville equation. In addition to increasing the lifetime, the emergence of the superradiant states increases the qubit coherence.

description: The Alaiz Experiment (ALEX17), located in Navarre (Spain), is a full-scale experiment that aims to peer into the microscale flow of a large-scale and complex topography influenced by mesoscale forcing.

The experimental site site consists of a mountain range of 1000m a.s.l with a well-known wind regime. To the North, aligned with the prevailing wind, measurement equipment are located at a valley 500m lower in altitude. The measurement campaign started in November/2017, with an intense observational period (IOP) of six months as well as 1-year of met mast measurements along with long-term means from a reference mast.

The multi-lidar scanning patterns can provide 2D and 3D wind reconstruction over a 125m a.s.l. Z-shaped transect 10km long, being a unique feature from this experiment. The intersecting scans used for wind speed reconstruction can also be rendered into virtual met masts.

Results show this multi-lidar layout is capable of capturing main flow patterns as speed-ups on ridge tops and valley flow between ridges, with valid data from 100m to 3500m.

The presentation summarizes the main layout and results of the experiment, pointing the way to access the open-source dataset of all equipment and documentation of ALEX17.
Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle as a Probe of Modified Newtonian Dynamics

description: The proposed Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle (STEP) will detect possible violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle by measuring relative accelerations between test masses of different composition with a precision of one part in $10^{18}$. A serendipitous byproduct of the experimental design is that the absolute (common-mode) acceleration of the test masses is also measured to high precision as they oscillate along a common axis under the influence of restoring forces produced by the position sensor currents, which in drag-free mode lead to Newtonian accelerations as small as $10^{-14}$ g. This is deep inside the low-acceleration regime where Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) diverges strongly from the Newtonian limit of General Relativity. We show that MOND theories (including those based on the widely-used $n$-family of interpolating functions as well as the covariant Tensor-Vector-Scalar formulation) predict an easily detectable increase in the frequency of oscillations of the STEP test masses if the Strong Equivalence Principle holds. If it does not hold, MOND predicts a cumulative increase in oscillation amplitude which is also detectable. STEP thus provides a new and potentially decisive test of Newton's law of inertia, as well as the equivalence principle in both its strong and weak forms.

title: Hydrodynamics of Supercooled Drops Encountering Solidification at Various Moments of Impact
Creators: name: Gloerfeld, Mark Gideon
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Icing of surfaces is a hazard to numerous technical applications like aircraft, wind turbines, ships and power lines exposed to cold environments. Ice accretion on crucial parts can lead to significant decrease in efficiency, unpredictable limitation of function or complete failure. Particularly threatening icing scenarios often involve the impact of supercooled large water drops. Being in an initially meta-stable liquid state, their solidification exhibits a dynamic stage involving fast propagation of dendrites in their bulk. The interaction of dendrites with the fluid flow of a drop impact represents a complex problem which is to date not fully understood. This dissertation is devoted to gaining insight into the underlying physics of the impact of a supercooled large drop onto a cold solid surface superimposed by an impinging cold air flow. Focus lies on the onset of solidification at various times of the impact which relates to different stages of an ice layer growing on a surface. For experimental investigations, an icing wind tunnel was designed, built and commissioned in the course of this thesis. It facilitates experiments of single supercooled large drops of different sizes impacting onto solid surfaces with controlled variation of drop temperature, impact velocity and speed of the superimposing air flow. Investigations involve the impact of supercooled liquid drops which develop a corona splash upon impact. The splash extent and remaining fluid on the surface is connected to an existing theoretical model considering the onset of splashing. A superimposed air flow entails a deformation of the drops before impact which is incorporated in the splashing model and also in a semi-empirical approach, aiming for estimation of the maximum spreading diameter. Moreover, the impact of drops on a flat ice surface is investigated, which is characterized by an early onset of freezing. A vital influence of the fluid supercooling, i.e. the dendrite propagation velocity, is quantified and a modified model for estimation of the spreading diameter of the frozen drop is introduced. Furthermore, the impact of drops experiencing nucleation before impact is investigated. The impact behaviour of such partially frozen drops has never been investigated before and the adaption of a plasticity flow model enabled the quantification of rheological properties of this mixed phase. The findings of this work contribute to a deeper understanding of the physics involved in the fluid flow and its interaction with the dynamic solidification arising upon impact of single supercooled drops. The adapted models, empirical approaches and quantified properties can ultimately be employed to improve numerical models aimed at the prediction of ice accretion on technical surfaces

description: Polymer materials with different surface-to-volume ratios require different mechanisms of flame retardants regarding condensed phase and gas phase activity. The flame retardant formulations in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are investigated regarding a condensed phase and gas phase activity by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), TG-mass spectrometry (MS), TG-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UL94, cone calorimeter and scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer measurements. The flame retardant formulations containing phosphates, phosphonates, and phosphinates as flame retardants are analyzed by using a simultaneous analysis consisting of a differential thermal analysis-TGA device which is in situ coupled to FTIR and MS. All analysis methods show a gas phase activity for the phosphonate (PCO 910), a condensed phase activity for the phosphate (3,9-bis(phenoxy)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro-5,5-undecane-3,9-dioxide, (SPDPP) and a mixed condensed and gas phase activity for the new synthesized phosphate and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide containing flame retardant 3,9-bis(phenoxy)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro-5,5-undecane-3,9-dioxide (SPDPDOM). The fire behavior of PCO 910 can be improved by adding O,O'-Terephthaloyl-bis-N,N'-naphthalimide ester as NOR radical-forming agent (NOR-RF) reaching a total amount of 3 wt % of both active agents for a UL94 V-0 classification in PET.

description: Note that with this issue the format has changed to a newspaper tabloid size. "The change in format for this issue is part of a process of launching a new magazine which will build on the already existing sections of Prison news service and The marionette. We will be adding a third section which will be much like the old Bulldozer magazine. One of the main strengths of Bulldozer was in the participation by various prisoners contributing diverse articles exploring various aspects of prison life."--Page 3.

description: Quantum information processing provides remarkable advantages over its classical counterpart. Quantum optical systems are proved to be sufficient for realizing general quantum tasks, which however often rely on single photon sources. In practice, imperfect single photon sources, such as weak coherent state source, are used instead, which will inevitably limit the power in demonstrating quantum effects. For instance, with imperfect photon sources, the key rate of the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol will be very low, which fortunately can be resolved by utilizing the decoy state method. As a generalization, we investigate an efficient way to simulate single photons with imperfect ones to an arbitrary desired accuracy when the number of photonic inputs is small. Based on this simulator, we can thus replace the tasks that involve only a few single photon inputs with the ones that only make use of imperfect photon sources. In addition, our method also provides a quantum simulator to quantum computation based on quantum optics. In the main context, we take phase randomized coherent state as an example for analysis. A general photon source applies similarly and may provide some further advantages for certain tasks.

description: The modern picture of the neutrino as a multiple mass highly mixed neutral particle has emerged over 40 years of study. Best known of the issues leading to this picture was the apparent loss of neutrinos coming from the sun. This article describes another piece of evidence that supports the picture; the substantial reduction of high energy muon type neutrinos observed in nature. For much of the 40 year period, before the modern picture emerged this observation was known as the "atmospheric neutrino anomaly", since as will be seen, these neutrinos originate in the Earth's atmosphere. This paper describes the discovery of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We explore the scientific context and motivations in the late 1970's from which this work emerged. The gradual awareness that the observations of atmospheric neutrinos were not as expected took place in the 1983-1986 period.

description: Symbolic Computation and Satisfiability Checking are viewed as individual research areas, but they share common interests in the development, implementation and application of decision procedures for arithmetic theories. Despite these commonalities, the two communities are currently only weakly connected. We introduce a new project SC-square to build a joint community in this area, supported by a newly accepted EU (H2020-FETOPEN-CSA) project of the same name. We aim to strengthen the connection between these communities by creating common platforms, initiating interaction and exchange, identifying common challenges, and developing a common roadmap. This abstract and accompanying poster describes the motivation and aims for the project, and reports on the first activities.

Infection site opératoire

description: Contexte. L’administration d’une double antibioprophylaxie préopératoire (vancomycine associée à une céphalosporine) à des patients à haut risque d’infection du site opératoire (ISO) à Staphylococcus à coagulase négative résistant à la méticilline impose un cadre organisationnel. Objectif. Évaluation de l’administration de la double antibioprophylaxie et identification de facteurs contribuant au non-respect des recommandations institutionnelles. Méthode. Étude rétrospective sur 6 mois menée aux Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève, sur deux cohortes distinctes : patients soumis à une chirurgie cardiaque complexe à haut risque d’ISO et patients opérés d’une cranioplastie, avec administration intégrale de la double antibioprophylaxie au bloc opératoire. Résultats. L’administration pré-opératoire de l’un des antimicrobiens a été oubliée pour 20% à 30% des 30 patients inclus (23,3% pour la vancomycine, 36,7% pour la céfazoline), il n’y a pas eu d’ajustement de la dose par rapport au surpoids du patient dans près de 50% des cas pour au moins un antimicrobien (53,3% pour la vancomycine, 43,3% pour la céfazoline), ni de respect du délai de biodisponibilité (46,7% pour la vancomycine, 53,3% pour la céfazoline). La deuxième dose intra-opératoire de céphalosporine n’a pas été injectée à 63,3% des patients alors qu’elle était indiquée. L’administration de la double antibioprophylaxie a été parfaitement réalisée pour seulement 3 patients (10%). Conclusion. La conformité de l’administration de la double antibioprophylaxie pré-opératoire aux recommandations (internes) dans ces situations à haut risque d’ISO est insuffisante. Afin d’optimiser les bénéfices de la double antibioprophylaxie pré-opératoire, nous recommandons que la vancomycine soit administrée dans l’unité de soins et la céphalosporine au bloc opératoire.

Local vibrational mode of impurity in a monatomic linear chain under open and periodic boundary conditions

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: In this paper, we revisit the lattice vibration of one-dimensional monatomic linear chain under open and periodic boundary conditions, and give the exact conditions for the emergence of the local vibration mode when one of the atoms is replaced by an impurity. Our motivation is twofold. Firstly, in deriving the dispersion relation of the atoms, periodic boundary condition is overwhelmingly utilized while open boundary condition is seldomly referred. Therefore we manage to obtain the dispersion relation under both boundary conditions simultaneously by Molinari formula. Secondly, in the presence of impurity, local vibration mode can emerge as long as the mass of the impurity $m'$ is smaller than the mass of the perfect atom $m$ to certain degree, which can be measured by the mass ratio $δ=\frac{m-m'}{m}$. At periodic boundary condition, the critical mass ratio is $0$ or $\frac{1}{N}$, depending on whether the length $N$ of the chain is even or odd. At open boundary condition, the critical mass ratio is $\frac{N}{2N-1}$ if the impurity locates at the end of the chain, while it is $\frac{N}{(2N_l+1)(2N_r+1)}$ with $N_l$ and $N_r$ be the number of atoms at the left and right hand sides of the impurity if the impurity locates at the middle.

Our measurement will be helpful in studies of lepton universality by measuring B(B^0 -> D^*- tau^+ nu_tau) using tau^+ -> pi^+ pi^- pi^+ nu-bar_tau decays, normalized to B(B^0 -> D^*- pi^+ pi^- pi^+.

description: Unintended effects of gene edit crops may pose safety issues. Omics is a useful tool for researchers to evaluate these unexpected effects. Transcriptome and proteomics analyses were performed for two gene editors, CRISPR-Cas9 and adenine base editor (ABE) gene edit rice, as well as corresponding wild-type plants (Nipponbare). Transcriptome revealed 520 and 566 rice differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Cas9/Nip and ABE/Nip comparisons, respectively. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that most DEGs participated in metabolism of terpenoids and polyketones, plant–pathogen interactions, and plant signal transduction. It mainly belongs to environmental adaptation. Proteomics revealed 298 and 54 rice differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the Cas9/Nip and ABE/Nip comparisons, respectively. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that most DEPs participated in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolite and metabolic pathways. According to integrated transcriptomes and proteomics analysis, the results showed that no newly generated genes were identified as new transcripts of these differentially expressed genes, and gene edit tools had little effect on rice transcription levels and no new proteins were generated in the gene-edited rice.

description: ERIS is the new AO instrument for VLT-UT4 led by a Consortium of Max-Planck Institut fuer Extraterrestrische Physik, UK-ATC, ETH-Zurich, ESO and INAF. The ERIS AO system provides NGS mode to deliver high contrast correction and LGS mode to extend high Strehl performance to large sky coverage. The AO module includes NGS and LGS wavefront sensors and, with VLT-AOF Deformable Secondary Mirror and Laser Facility, will provide AO correction to the high resolution imager NIX (1-5um) and the IFU spectrograph SPIFFIER (1-2.5um). In this paper we present the preliminary design of the ERIS AO system and the estimated correction performance.

description: The properties of current-carrying steady states of strongly correlated systems away from the linear-response regime are of topical interest. In this article, we review the renormalized perturbation theory, or renormalized SPT of reference [1] for the Anderson model. We present an extension to higher orders and compare the higher-order results with NRG calculations. Finally, we elucidate the role of Ward identities in calculating out-of-equilibrium properties and address claims made in the literature.
