description: Reducing proton treatment time improves patient comfort and decreases the risk of error from intra-fractional motion, but must be balanced against clinical goals and treatment plan quality. We formulated the proton treatment planning problem as a convex optimization problem with a cost function consisting of a dosimetric plan quality term plus a weighted $l_1$ regularization term. We iteratively solved this problem and adaptively updated the regularization weights to promote the sparsity of both the spots and energy layers. The proposed algorithm was tested on four head-and-neck cancer patients, and its performance was compared with existing standard $l_1$ and group $l_2$ regularization methods. We also compared the effectiveness of the three methods ($l_1$, group $l_2$, and reweighted $l_1$) at improving plan delivery efficiency without compromising dosimetric plan quality by constructing each of their Pareto surfaces charting the trade-off between plan delivery and plan quality. The reweighted $l_1$ regularization method reduced the number of spots and energy layers by an average over all patients of 40% and 35%, respectively, with an insignificant cost to dosimetric plan quality. From the Pareto surfaces, it is clear that reweighted $l_1$ provided a better trade-off between plan delivery efficiency and dosimetric plan quality than standard $l_1$ or group $l_2$ regularization, requiring the lowest cost to quality to achieve any given level of delivery efficiency. In summary, reweighted $l_1$ regularization is a powerful method for simultaneously promoting the sparsity of spots and energy layers at a small cost to dosimetric plan quality. This sparsity reduces the time required for spot scanning and energy layer switching, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of proton plans.

description: Strong foundations in basic AI techniques are key to understanding more advanced concepts. We believe that introducing AI techniques, such as search methods, early in higher education helps create a deeper understanding of the concepts seen later in more advanced AI and algorithms courses. We present a project-based and competition-based bachelor course that gives second-year students an introduction to search methods applied to board games. In groups of two, students have to use network programming and AI methods to build an AI agent to compete in a board game tournament-othello was this year's game. Students are evaluated based on the quality of their projects and on their performance during the final tournament. We believe that the introduction of gamification, in the form of competition-based learning, allows for a better learning experience for the students.

description: Investigate how lifestyle factors mediate the relationship between life satisfaction and survival in stroke survivors to inform better patient care. Analyzed 574 stroke survivors from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2014–2020) using mediation analysis to explore the impact of life satisfaction on survival, considering lifestyle factors as mediators. Participants’ average age was 77.74 years, with a sex distribution of 330 males (48.52%) and 311 females (51.48%). Among lifestyle factors, health behavior, social participation, and activity showed a significant and complete mediating effect on the life satisfaction-survival relationship, accounting for 85 and 94% of the effect, respectively. Highlighting the importance of lifestyle interventions in stroke survivors’ rehabilitation, this study advocates for a holistic approach to post-stroke care that focuses on improving life satisfaction to enhance survival rates and well-being.

Ciprofloxacin loaded microsponges mainly belongs to category Biopharmaceutical Classification System class II which shown that it has low permeability and high solubility. Microsponges behaves as sustained and controlled release formulation in order to prolong the effect of ciprofloxacin for extended duration, the formulation phase of ciprofloxacin loaded microsponges was processed by emulsion solvent diffusion method, in which two phases are prepared i.e., the organic phase and the aqueous phase which were mixed at 1000 rpm to produce microsponges. Using BOX-BEHNKEN design of experiment, different quantity of drug- ciprofloxacin and excipients- Eudragit RS 100, and polyvinyl alcohol, are used. Total fifteen formulations were prepared, which were studied for the parameters like particle size determination, % drug release, % drug entrapment, % yield. The optimized formulation was subjected to SEM analysis and FT-IR study. The particle size of optimized formulation obtained as 387.1 nm, with 87.1% drug release, 91.2% drug entrapment, and 85.3% yield.
Fast quantum gate design with deep reinforcement learning using real-time feedback on readout signals

description: The design of high-fidelity quantum gates is difficult because it requires the optimization of two competing effects, namely maximizing gate speed and minimizing leakage out of the qubit subspace. We propose a deep reinforcement learning algorithm that uses two agents to address the speed and leakage challenges simultaneously. The first agent constructs the qubit in-phase control pulse using a policy learned from rewards that compensate short gate times. The rewards are obtained at intermediate time steps throughout the construction of a full-length pulse, allowing the agent to explore the landscape of shorter pulses. The second agent determines an out-of-phase pulse to target leakage. Both agents are trained on real-time data from noisy hardware, thus providing model-free gate design that adapts to unpredictable hardware noise. To reduce the effect of measurement classification errors, the agents are trained directly on the readout signal from probing the qubit. We present proof-of-concept experiments by designing X and square root of X gates of various durations on IBM hardware. After just 200 training iterations, our algorithm is able to construct novel control pulses up to two times faster than the default IBM gates, while matching their performance in terms of state fidelity and leakage rate. As the length of our custom control pulses increases, they begin to outperform the default gates. Improvements to the speed and fidelity of gate operations open the way for higher circuit depth in quantum simulation, quantum chemistry and other algorithms on near-term and future quantum devices.

description: A framework, which is a (possibly infinite) graph with a realization of its vertices in the plane, is called flexible if it can be continuously deformed while preserving the edge lengths. We focus on flexibility of frameworks in which 4-cycles form parallelograms. For the class of frameworks considered in this paper (allowing triangles), we prove that the following are equivalent: flexibility, infinitesimal flexibility, the existence of at least two classes of an equivalence relation based on 3- and 4-cycles and being a non-trivial subgraph of the Cartesian product of graphs. We study the algorithmic aspects and the rotationally symmetric version of the problem. The results are illustrated on frameworks obtained from tessellations by regular polygons.

Abstract

This research aims to discover and analyze changes in legal construction regarding the regulation of foreign workers (TKA) which have values of justice based on the ideals of national law as stated in the values of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The writing of this research will be carried out by referring to Normative legal research methods or methods, namely the type of research commonly carried out in the development of legal science which is generally also called Legal Dogmatics Research. The legal materials used in this research are secondary data in the form of literature books discussing Employment Law, plus legal materials in the form of scientific works by experts, journals and papers related to this research.As a legal dogmatic research, normative legal materials are processed in stages: structuring, describing and systematizing legal materials which consist of three levels, namely the technical level, teleological level and external systematization level. The research results show thatThe legal reconstruction of fair TKA regulations established by the legislature must be based on an understanding of legal science, but not limited to a study of understanding political science, so that the law that is formed is law in the sense of legal discovery as a crystallization, concretization of legal regulations that should be (das sollen), which refers to on legal theories and legal principles. Law must emerge with its transcendental and metaphysical nature so that the antecedents of morality must take precedence, but it does not give rise to law as a political force that is legitimized by its coercive nature and gives the impression of being forced. If it is connected to the goals of society, which we then return more broadly to the goals of the state, namely advancing general welfare, protecting all Indonesian people, then the convenience and support given by the state to foreign workers through Law No. 11 of 2020 which was amended by Perpu No. 2 2022 in conjunction with Law No. 6 of 2023 concerning the Determination of Perpu No. 2 of 2022 into Law and PP No. 34 of 2021 cannot be said to be in line with state objectives. Therefore, it is important to reconstruct the regulation of the use of foreign workers in the form of regulations and laws that are clear and can be monitored so that they can provide fair legal certainty in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution as national legal ideals for foreign workers and at the same time protect the interests and interests of foreign workers. domestic labor rights.

description: In the present paper, we have studied the higher as well as the lower-order nonclassicalities of photon-added-then-subtracted and photon-subtracted-then-added thermal and even coherent states. Different criteria such as Mandel's function ($Q_M^{(l)}$), higher-order antibunching ($d_h^{(l-1)}$), sub-Poissonian photon statistics ($D_h^{(l-1)}$), higher-order squeezing ($S^{(l)}$), Husimi function ($Q$), Agarwal-Tara criteria ($A_3$) and Klyshko's condition ($B(m)$) are used to witness the nonclassical feature of these states. Many of these conditions established that the considered states are highly nonclassical. It is also realized that the non-Gaussian photon-addition-then-subtraction operation is preferred over the photon-subtraction-then-addition for developing nonclassicality.

description: In this work we present a detailed analysis on the performance of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism photo-emission electron microscopy (XMCD-PEEM) as a tool for vector reconstruction of the magnetization. For this, we choose 360$^{\circ}$ domain wall ring structures which form in a synthetic antiferromagnet as our model to conduct the quantitative analysis. We assess how the quality of the results is affected depending on the number of projections that are involved in the reconstruction process, as well as their angular distribution. For this we develop a self-consistent error metric, which indicates that the main factor of improvement comes from selecting the projections evenly spread out in space, over having a larger number of these spanning a smaller angular range. This work thus poses XMCD-PEEM as a powerful tool for vector imaging of complex 3D magnetic structures.

description: Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between teaching influencing factors, teacher efficacy, and professional identity among university educators in Shandong Province, China. The research objectives include examining the validity and reliability of measurement scales used to assess pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), teaching competencies, administrative support, teacher efficacy, and professional identity. Data was collected from 30 participants through a survey questionnaire, and statistical analyses, including Cronbach's alpha reliability test and validity assessments, were conducted. The results indicate very good reliability for all measurement scales, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients exceeding 0.90 for PCK, teaching competencies, administrative support, teacher efficacy, and professional identity domains. Convergent validity analysis reveals strong correlations between items measuring the same construct, while discriminant validity analysis demonstrates lower correlations between items measuring different constructs. These findings provide robust evidence of the validity and reliability of the measurement scales used in the study. Furthermore, the study findings highlight significant positive relationships between PCK, teaching competencies, administrative support, teacher efficacy, and professional identity among university educators. These results underscore the interconnectedness of these factors in shaping teacher development and effectiveness in higher education settings. The study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing teacher professional identity and provides insights for improving teacher development programs and educational practices.

description: The detection of a heavy neutral CP-even Higgs boson of the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM), $h'$, with $m_{h'}\simeq 400~\text{GeV}$, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=14~\text{TeV}$, is investigated. The following production and decay channels are considered: $gg\to h'\to{ZZ}\to4\ell$ and $gg\to h'\to{W^+W^-}\to2\ell+\slashed{E}_T$ (with $\slashed{E}_T$ being the Missing~Transverse~Energy~(MET)), where $\ell=e,μ$, with integrated luminosity $L_{\text{int}}=300~{\text{fb}}^{-1}$ (Run 3). Furthermore, we also look into the di-Higgs channel $gg\to h'\to{hh}\to{b\bar{b}γγ}$ at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) with an integrated luminosity of $L_{\text{int}}=3000~{\text{fb}}^{-1}$. We demonstrate that promising signals with high statistical significance can be obtained through the three aforementioned channels.

description: This review explores the scientific literature on pancreatic diseases, with a focus on exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). It highlights the relationship between pancreatic health and obesity and examines the influence of pancreatic exocrine function on the development of adults and adolescents. Studies on piglets, a widely used model for optimizing treatments for human pancreatic diseases, are also referenced. The pancreas, a critical organ with both exocrine and hormonal functions, plays a central role in the health of animals and humans. Pancreatic disorders are often severe and challenging to manage. A balanced diet and appropriate dietary supplements can significantly improve patient outcomes and the progression of these diseases. Thus, a healthy lifestyle and diet are essential for maintaining the pancreas's optimal physiological function.

description: Advances in additive manufacturing have created multiple opportunities for manufactured lattice structures (meta-materials) with interesting and useful properties. Analysis, design, and optimization of such lattices accentuates the need for modeling and computational methods that take advantage of lattice periodicity and discreteness. In this dissertation we develop discrete analogs of continuum integral operators. These include, the Newtonian potential, single-layer, double-layer, adjoint of the double-layer, and hyper-singular integral operators. This allows, via Green’s analysis framework for analyzing conducting lattices, construction of lattice analogs for both the singular and hyper-singular boundary integral equations, and the integral representation for the domain solution. Modeling techniques to analyze defective lattices using defect equations in pristine lattices are demonstrated. Existence of discrete analog of Calderón projector for forward problems is established. Application of these boundary algebraic equations are shown to be convenient for solution of inverse problems in conducting lattices. Defect detection problems are recast as inverse source problems using equivalency conditions relating defect’s conductance to the corresponding polarization dipole. Inverse modeling techniques in lattices are shown to be challenging for two reasons - first due to lack of high sensitivity of boundary data to the presence of internal defects and second due to the discrete nature of the defective region. Perturbed formulation is used to enhance sensitivity. Use of machine learning method of LASSO and iteratively weighted least squares methods are investigated to solve the discrete problem for both complete and incomplete Cauchy data.

description: Development of subject matter interest is an important motivator for long term student learning. Fortunately, what teachers do in the learning environment can have an impact on interest. This study was an investigation of how instructor inputs in engineering courses that were taught online were associated with students’ perceptions of instructor relatedness and situational interest. The initial hypothesis was that a student’s sense of social relatedness with the instructor would mediate the relationship between instructional inputs and student perceptions of situational interest in the class. The study employed a multiple methods approach to gather quantitative and qualitative data to gain insights into both instructor and student perspectives of the online engineering educational experience. The frameworks of teacher presence, defined by Garrison’s (2007) Community of Inquiry (COI) model as the design and facilitation of distance learning environments, and Mehrabian's (1971) concept of immediacy, which includes behaviors intended to signal openness to communicative interaction, were used to develop a survey administered to 141 undergraduate engineering students, capturing their perceptions of social relatedness and situational interest. Results indicated that teacher presence online, but not immediacy behaviors, was predictive of student-perceived instructor relatedness and situational interest. A higher reported perception of teacher presence was associated with a greater feeling of instructor-student relatedness and with situational interest. However, the two outcome variables were independent such that instructor relatedness did not mediate the relationship between instructor inputs and interest. Follow-up qualitative interviews indicated that the teacher presence construct provided a sufficient framework to encompass student and instructor perceptions of the role of the instructor, as well as strategies used by instructors for developing instructor-student connection and the encouragement of situational interest during class sessions. A synthesis of the qualitative and quantitative data suggests that instructors can use specific strategies from the teacher presence framework, including a focus on instructional design, facilitation of discourse, and well-organized direct instruction to help students develop feelings of both connection and interest. Although the initial hypothesis of a mediated path to interest via the development of social relatedness was not supported, the final results suggest that both instructor-student relatedness and situational interest develop concurrently and that the affective and cognitive components of online engineering education should be considered simultaneously.

description: This paper considers a recently-proposed string theory on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ with one unit of NS-NS flux ($k=1$). We discuss interpretations of the target space, including connections to twistor geometry and a more conventional spacetime interpretation via the Wakimoto representation. We propose an alternative perspective on the role of the Wakimoto formalism in the $k=1$ string, for which no large radius limit is required by the inclusion of extra operator insertions in the path integral. This provides an exact Wakimoto description of the worldsheet CFT. We also discuss an additional local worldsheet symmetry, $Q(z)$, that emerges when $k=1$ and show that this symmetry plays an important role in the localisation of the path integral to a sum over covering maps. We demonstrate the emergence of a rigid worldsheet translation symmetry in the radial direction of the $AdS_3$, for which again the presence of $Q(z)$ is crucial. We conjecture that this radial symmetry plays a key role in understanding, in the case of the $k=1$ string, the encoding of the bulk physics on the two-dimensional boundary.

description: Independent Parallel Particle Layer (IPPL) is an open-source performance portable C++ library for generic computations with grids and particles. It is primarily used for large scale kinetic plasma simulations. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the library, and show some of the recent benchmarks we performed on pre-exascale leadership computing systems with thousands of GPUS and CPU cores. I will then discuss the features we would like to have in IPPL in the areas of I/O, in-situ visualization and performance measurement tools which can open the door for potential collaborations.
Asymmetric Effects of Positive and Negative Commodity Price Shocks During Civil Wars

description: Economic shocks, including shocks to commodity export prices, have often been related to civil conflict. However, the literature usually assumes that commodity prices have linear effects. In this paper, we hypothesize that negative and positive commodity export price shocks can have asymmetric effects: while negative shocks are likely to increase conflict, positive shocks can have a smaller conflict-reducing effect or even increase conflict. We test this hypothesis in a dataset for battle deaths during ongoing civil wars. Consistent with the hypothesis, negative price shocks increase battle deaths, but positive price shocks also have a positive effect. The positive effect is concentrated and becomes significant in countries with weak pre-conflict institutions that experience positive price shocks to fossil fuels. We conclude that a combination of institutional reforms, economic diversification, and price stabilization might reduce battle deaths in fuel-dependent countries with weak institutions.
title: Elisabeth Bergners Wiener Zeit
Creators: name: Zeman, Barbara
Year: 2007

description: “Ich muss den Wienern (...) doch völlig uninteressant sein. Niemand kennt mich hier, und ich kenne niemand. Ich bin ganz fremd da. “ So Elisabeth Bergner in einem Interview im Neuen Wiener Tagblatt im Jahr 1926, als sie einen ihrer seltenen Gastauftritte in Wien absolviert. Schon bevor die Jüdin 1932 das europäische Festland verlässt, ist ihr Verhältnis zu Wien ein zwiespältiges, und auch nach dem Krieg fällt eher der Name der Stadt Berlin, wenn es auf ihr (emotionales) zu Hause zu sprechen kommt. Von 1897 bis 1915 lebte Elisabeth Bergner durchgehend in Wien, anschließend ist sie hier (mit der Ausnahme ihres Engagements an der Neuen Wiener Bühne 1919/20) vier Mal (1917, 1923, 1924, 1926 und 1931) zu Gast. Nachdem der 2. Weltkrieg beendet ist, kehrt sie 1954, und ein zweites Mal 1960 an Wiener Theaterhäuser zurück. In meiner Diplomarbeit setzte ich mich anhand von drei Schwerpunkten mit Elisabeth Bergner und der Stadt ihrer Kindheit und Jugend auseinander. Der erste Teil meiner Arbeit ist ein vornehmlich biographischer Art, in dem ich den Versuch unternehme, Bergners Kindheit und Jugend wie ihre Ausbildung in Wien zu rekonstruieren. Der zweite (wie eigentlich auch der vierte) Abschnitt meiner Arbeit ist den Auftritten der Bergner auf Wiener Bühnen gewidmet. Dies beinhaltet die vollständige Aufführung der Programmzettel, die umfassende Aufarbeitung der in Wien publizierten Zeitungskritiken wie deren Ergänzung durch die (leider nur spärlich erschienenen) Memoiren ihrer Kollegen und Kolleginnen am Theater. Das dritte Stück meiner Arbeit ist der Beziehung Elisabeth Bergners zu Arthur Schnitzler gewidmet, der einer der wichtigsten Ansprechpersonen der Schauspielerin in Wien war, jedoch wie manch anderer den Fehler machte sich in diese zu verlieben.
Ab initio investigation of laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization of L1$_0$ FePt: Intensity dependence and importance of electron coherence

description: We theoretically investigate the optically-induced demagnetization of ferromagnetic FePt using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). We compare the demagnetization mechanism in the perturbative and nonperturbative limits of light-matter interaction and show how the underlying mechanism of the ultrafast demagnetization depends on the driving laser intensity. Our calculations show that the femtosecond demagnetization in TDDFT is a longitudinal magnetization reduction and results from a nonlinear optomagnetic effect, akin to the inverse Faraday effect. The demagnetization scales quadratically with the electric field $E$ in the perturbative limit, i.e., $ΔM_z \propto E^{2}$. Moreover, the magnetization dynamics happens dominantly at even multiples $nω_0$, ($n = 0, 2, \cdots$) of the pump-laser frequency $ω_0$, whereas odd multiples of $ω_0$ do not contribute. We further investigate the demagnetization in conjunction to the optically-induced change of electron occupations and electron correlations. Correlations within the Kohn-Sham local-density framework are shown to have an appreciable yet distinct effect on the amount of demagnetization depending on the laser intensity. Comparing the ${ab~initio}$ computed demagnetizations with those calculated from spin occupations, we show that electronic coherence plays a dominant role in the demagnetization process, whereas interpretations based on the time-dependent occupation numbers poorly describe the ultrafast demagnetization.
