description: We investigate the quench dynamics in the dipolar Bose-Hubbard model (DBHM) in one dimension. The boson hopping is constrained by dipole conservation and show fractonic dynamics. The ground states at large Hubbard interaction $U$ are Mott insulators at integer filling and a period-2 charge density wave (CDW) at half-integer filling. We focus on Mott-to-Mott and CDW-to-CDW quenches and find that dipole correlation spreading shows the light-cone behavior with the Lieb-Robinson (LR) velocity proportional to the dipole kinetic energy $J$ and the square of the density in the case of Mott quench at integer filling. Effective model for post-quench dynamics is constructed under the dilute-dipole approximation and fits the numerical results well. For CDW quench we observe a much reduced LR velocity of order $J^2/U$ and additional periodic features in the time direction. The emergence of CDW ground state and the reduced LR velocity at half-integer filling can both be understood by careful application of the second-order perturbation theory. The oscillatory behavior arises from quantum scars in the quadrupole sector of the spectrum and is captured by a PXP-like model that we derive by projecting the DBHM to the quadrupolar sector of the Hilbert space.

description: Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHAp) adsorbent material was prepared from Achatina achatina snail shells and phosphate-containing solution using a wet chemical deposition method. The CHAp adsorbent material was investigated to adsorb aqua Fe(II) complex; [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ from simulated iron contaminated water for potential iron remediation application. The CHAp was characterized before and after adsorption using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The IR and the Raman data revealed that the carbonate functional groups of the CHAp adsorbent material through asymmetric orientation in water bonded strongly to the aqua Fe(II) complex adsorbate. The adsorption behaviour of the adsorbate onto the CHAp adsorbent correlated well to pseudo-second-order kinetics model, non-linear Langmuir and Freundlich model at room temperature of a concentration (20–100 mg L -¹) and contact time of 180 min. The Langmuir model estimated the maximum adsorption capacity to be 45.87 mg g -¹ whereas Freundlich model indicated an S-type isotherm curvature which supported the spectroscopy revelation.

description: Cosmological distances are fundamental observables in cosmology. The luminosity ($D_L$), angular diameter ($D_A$) and gravitational wave ($D_{\rm GW}$) distances are all trivially related in General Relativity assuming no significant absorption of photons in the extragalactic medium, also known as cosmic opacity. Supernovae have long been the main cosmological standard candle, but bright standard sirens are now a proven alternative, with the advantage of not requiring calibration with other astrophysical sources. Moreover, they can also measure deviations from modified gravity through discrepancies between $D_L$ and $D_{\rm GW}$. However, both gravitational and cosmological parameters are degenerate in the Hubble diagram, making it hard to properly detect beyond standard model physics. Finally, recently a model-independent method named FreePower was proposed to infer angular diameter distances from large-scale structure which is independent of the knowledge of both early universe and dark energy physics. In this paper we propose a tripartite test of the ratios of these three distances with minimal amount of assumptions regarding cosmology, the early universe, cosmic opacity and modified gravity. We proceed to forecast this test with a combination of LSST and Roman supernovae, Einstein Telescope bright sirens and a joint DESI-like + Euclid-like galaxy survey. We find that even in this very model-independent approach we will be able to detect, in each of many redshift bins, percent-level deviations in these ratios of distances, allowing for very precise consistency checks of $Λ$CDM and standard physics. It can also result in sub-percent measurements of $H_0$.

IMAGE MAGNIFICATION CONTROL

description: As the size of telescopes increases, the performance of adaptive optics (AO) systems in extremely large observatories such as the ELT is dominated not only by atmospheric disturbances but also by structural vibrations. The SCAO control loop of MICADO provides optical correction for a single guide star, while the image magnification is variable. This leads to additional radial jitter, reducing the available Strehl ratio and therefore the usable field-of-view. Especially movements of M2 along the optical axis cause such plate scale variations in the focal plane. By analyzing the effect of M2 piston disturbance with optical ray-tracing software, we quantify its impact on image distortions and quality. The plate scale effect is then compared to residual tip-tilt jitter induced by atmospheric turbulence. Additionally, we investigate the surface figures required to compensate with the adaptive mirrors of ELT, M4 and M5.

description: We study the resurgent structure of the refined topological string partition function on a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold, at large orders in the string coupling constant $g_s$ and fixed refinement parameter $\mathsf{b}$. For $\mathsf{b}\neq 1$, the Borel transform admits two families of simple poles, corresponding to integral periods rescaled by $\mathsf{b}$ and $1/\mathsf{b}$. We show that the corresponding Stokes automorphism is expressed in terms of a generalization of the non-compact quantum dilogarithm, and we conjecture that the Stokes constants are determined by the refined Donaldson-Thomas invariants counting spin-$j$ BPS states. This jump in the refined topological string partition function is a special case (unit five-brane charge) of a more general transformation property of wave functions on quantum twisted tori introduced in earlier work by two of the authors. We show that this property follows from the transformation of a suitable refined dual partition function across BPS rays, defined by extending the Moyal star product to the realm of contact geometry.

Knowledge transfer

description: The ideas represented in the poster stem from observations gathered in the early stages of a two year Knowledge Transfer Partnership between Robert Gordon University and Aberdeen Harbour Board, aiming to create an Information and Record Management system for the Department of Engineering. During preliminary consultation with staff, it has emerged that members use their tacit knowledge to locate information which has been stored accordingeither to personal preferences or obscure historical procedures. The combination of relying mostly on tacit knowledge and using unstructured information risks creating situations where silo thinking is the norm, thus hindering knowledge transfer and collaboration.The poster will illustrate how, even at this early stage of the project, the application of Knowledge Organization techniques such as concept mapping,vocabulary control and categorization based on functions and activities, has already conveyed a more holistic view of the company, and has made staff aware of potential links between harbour activities, as well as a better understanding of the life cycle of individual projects and their role in the overall business vision. This, in turn, has prompted an interest in issues of information governance, which, among other benefits, will minimize the risk of silo mentality among staff.

OFF-AXIS DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHY

description: In this work, we present a statistical model for the turbulent atmospheric channel, which we study using the Monte Carlo method: With the help of the symmetric split-step method, we simulate the effect of the turbulent channel on the complex amplitude of a beam of light before considering the coupling to different single- and multi-mode fibers. Repeating these steps for numerous numerical realizations of the channel yields statistics on the coupling loss observed when detecting different numbers of modes at the FSO receiver. To verify the predictions of this channel model in the lab, we use off-axis digital holography to capture the complex amplitudes of light after traversing a turbulent atmosphere emulated in an optical turbulence generator (OTG). Investigating the coupling loss statistics obtained from these captures for the same fibers shows that the experimental data on the coupling loss reductions agrees with the predictions of our statistical model.
Structural Chirality and Electronic Chirality in Quantum Materials

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers to the spin-momentum locking of a particle or quasiparticle in the momentum space. While seemingly disconnected, structural chirality in molecules and crystals can drive electronic chirality through orbital-momentum locking, i.e. chirality can be transferred from the atomic geometry to electronic orbitals. Electronic chirality provides an insightful understanding of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), in which electrons exhibit salient spin polarization after going through a chiral material, and electric magnetochiral anisotropy (EMCA), which is characterized by the diode-like transport. It further gives rise to new phenomena, such as anomalous circularly polarized light emission (ACPLE), in which the light handedness relies on the emission direction. These chirality-driven effects will generate broad impacts in fundamental science and technology applications in spintronics, optoelectronics, and biochemistry.

description: We theoretically investigate the steady-state transmission of continuous terahertz (THz) wave across a freestanding ferroelectric slab. Based on the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory of ferroelectrics and the coupled equations of motion for polarization and electromagnetic (EM) waves, we derive the analytical expressions of the frequency- and thickness-dependent dielectric susceptibility and transmission coefficient at the thin slab limit in the harmonic excitation regime. When the slab thickness is much smaller than the THz wavelength in the ferroelectric, the analytical predictions agree well with the numerical simulations from a dynamical phase-field model that incorporates the coupled dynamics of strain, polarization, and EM wave in multiphase systems. At larger thicknesses, the transmission is mainly determined by the frequency-dependent attenuation of THz waves in the ferroelectric and the formation of a standing polarization/THz wave. Our results advance the understanding of the interaction between THz wave and ferroelectrics and suggest the potential of exploiting ferroelectrics to achieve low-heat-dissipation, nonvolatile voltage modulation of THz transmission for high-data-rate wireless communication.

description: Plasma-activated chemical transformations promise the efficient synthesis of salient chemical products. However, the reaction pathways that lead to desirable products are often unknown, and key quantum-state-resolved information regarding the involved molecular species is lacking. Here we use quantum cascade laser dual-comb spectroscopy (QCL-DCS) to probe plasma-activated NH$_3$ generation with rotational and vibrational state resolution, quantifying state-specific number densities via broadband spectral analysis. The measurements reveal unique translational, rotational and vibrational temperatures for NH$_3$ products, indicative of a highly reactive, non-thermal environment. Ultimately, we postulate on the energy transfer mechanisms that explain trends in temperatures and number densities observed for NH$_3$ generated in low-pressure nitrogen-hydrogen (N$_2$-H$_2$) plasmas.

description: Targeting the optical feeder link application for geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), a bi-directional Adaptive Optics (AO) system was installed at the Coude bench of the ESA Optical Ground Station (Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain), and first uplink experiments were conducted with the TDP1 laser communication terminal (aboard Alphasat, 25 E). The AO system features a common downlink/uplink aperture, and uses the downlink beams wavefront, to pre-compensate the uplink beams wavefront. Key elements are a highly reflective 69-element deformable mirror in the common path, and a narrowband filter in front of the wavefront sensor, to sufficiently reject back-scattered uplink light. Wavefront pre-compensation can be confined to tip and tilt only, or extended to approx. 30 spatial modes. To evaluate the uplink performance of the system, one sensor of the TDP1 terminal recorded the temporal variation of the optical power received. Both, tip/tilt, and full pre-compensation of the transmitted wavefront could be demonstrated during several links. During links with strong boundary-layer turbulence, performance improvement of full pre-compensation over tip/tilt pre-compensation was demonstrated successfully: A factor-1.4 to 1.7 increase in terms of average power at the target, a much lower scintillation index (0.2 vs. 0.45), and a significant improvement in terms of fading statistics (+10 dB channel transmission at the 99% confidence level). During links with weak boundary-layer turbulence, good uplink performance was observed for both pre-compensation schemes. This can be expected, as there are no significant high-order wavefront aberrations that would need correction. Looking closer at the statistical distribution of the uplink irradiance, the variation between links with weak boundary-layer turbulence is attributed to the varying turbulence strength in the tropopause (anisoplanatism).
Music Made Visible: A Biography of George Balanchine
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Jessica
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: Background
In his 1984 Principia Biographica, Leon Edel says that ‘[a] writer of lives is allowed the imagination of form but not of fact’ (13) and that ‘[t]he biographer truly succeeds if a distinct literary form can be found for the particular life’ (17). Music Made Visible radically tests Edel’s statements by experimenting with how poetry’s affordances are capable of representing aspects of character (specifically that of choreographer George Balanchine) in ways that challenge and extend the boundaries of life writing practice. This work continues my scholarly and creative research into how poetry can represent nonfiction subject matter in new and productive ways.

Contribution
Each poem in the book explores intersections/tensions between factual ‘data’ and the poetic form. The poems, titled from his corpus of choreographed works, combine appropriate choreographical references with time-relevant biographical elements, musical gestures, critical assessments and elements of Balanchine’s life philosophy. Further, these poems employ nuances of poetic language—line, rhythm, metaphor, visual play etc.—in an attempt to represent Balanchine’s life in a manner befitting his unique experience and artistic contribution. Music Made Visible develops the possibilities of the “biographical” poem tradition by highlighting the significance of components of form when it comes to biographical writing.

Significance
This book was produced as the result of major research undertaken at the New York Public Library Archive and Houghton Library (Harvard) supported by the prestigious Marten Bequest Travel Award and an Australia Council for the Arts development grant. Several poems from the book were published in esteemed literary journals (Cordite, Australian Poetry, Overland) and in Best Australian Poems; two poems were shortlisted for prizes (2015 Montreal Poetry Prize and 2018 UK Aesthetica Creative Writing Award). Poems have also been anthologised/re-published in international publications.

description: Prostate cancer patients may experience disturbed sleep as a result of their diagnosis or treatment. This study sought to evaluate disturbed sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness in newly diagnosed patients and those receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). This study was conducted with 74 patients. Subjective data using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and actigraphy data on ADT/ADT-naïve patients were collected. The prevalence of poor sleep quality, determined from PSQI and ESS scores, was 50% and 16.7% respectively. Those on ADT (n = 20) had poorer sleep quality as determined by significantly higher PSQI scores (70 vs. 40% scoring > 5) and were more likely to have poor sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep efficiency than ADT-naïve patients (n = 40). Actigraphy data showed that ADT patients slept significantly longer (7.7 vs. 6.8 h), experienced a higher Fragmentation Index (48.3 vs. 37.4%), and had longer daytime nap duration (64.1 vs. 45.2 min) than ADT-naïve patients. The use of objective measures such as actigraphy in the clinical arena is recommended and may be used as a valuable tool for research into sleep assessment in prostate cancer patients.

description: This study highlighted the importance of safety systems in reducing the severity outcome of a fire and supports the notion that all apartment buildings should have smoke alarms and sprinklers installed, confirm coverage is sufficient, and ensure they are well-maintained. Given the economic and environmental benefits of wood construction, this study also supports the continued use of wood for taller structures. In the form of its limitations, this study also calls to attention the importance of quality and comprehensive data collection in the field, as multiple provinces and a significant number of fire events were excluded due to insufficient or missing data.

description: We discuss the present state and planned updates of CosmoLattice, a cutting-edge code for lattice simulations of non-linear dynamics of scalar-gauge field theories in an expanding background. We first review current capabilities of the code, including the simulation of interacting singlet scalars and of Abelian and non-Abelian scalar-gauge theories. We also comment on new features recently implemented, such as the simulation of gravitational waves from scalar and gauge fields. Secondly, we discuss new extensions of CosmoLattice that we plan to release publicly. On the one hand, we comment on new physics modules, which include axion-gauge interactions $ϕF \widetilde{F}$, non-minimal gravitational couplings $ϕ^2 R$, creation and evolution of cosmic defect networks, and magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD). On the other hand, we discuss new technical features, including evolvers for non-canonical interactions, arbitrary initial conditions, simulations in 2+1 dimensions, and higher accuracy spatial derivatives.

description: Large language model (LLM) has achieved outstanding performance on various downstream tasks with its powerful natural language understanding and zero-shot capability, but LLM still suffers from knowledge limitation. Especially in scenarios that require long logical chains or complex reasoning, the hallucination and knowledge limitation of LLM limit its performance in question answering (QA). In this paper, we propose a novel framework KnowledgeNavigator to address these challenges by efficiently and accurately retrieving external knowledge from knowledge graph and using it as a key factor to enhance LLM reasoning. Specifically, KnowledgeNavigator first mines and enhances the potential constraints of the given question to guide the reasoning. Then it retrieves and filters external knowledge that supports answering through iterative reasoning on knowledge graph with the guidance of LLM and the question. Finally, KnowledgeNavigator constructs the structured knowledge into effective prompts that are friendly to LLM to help its reasoning. We evaluate KnowledgeNavigator on multiple public KGQA benchmarks, the experiments show the framework has great effectiveness and generalization, outperforming previous knowledge graph enhanced LLM methods and is comparable to the fully supervised models.

description: This study evaluated the effects of a Buddy Reading program on the reading fluency and comprehension of Special Education students, as well as its effect on self-ratings of their reading skills and attitudes. Special Education students were placed in two groups. Each of the students in the first group was assigned a Regular Education student partner or “Reading Buddy” with whom to read aloud on a daily basis. Students in the second group were given the same text to read each day, but were not assigned Reading Buddies. Prior to and after the Reading Buddy intervention, which lasted 15 days, data were collected on all participating students’ reading fluency and comprehension using selected portions of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS). A survey also was also administered at both times to assess students’ feelings about reading and their reading skills.
Post intervention results indicated all groups experienced gains in reading fluency. Gains also were noted in retell scores for the Regular Education students. Minor gains were seen in retell for students without buddies, while there was a decrease in retell mean scores for Special Education students with buddies. Students’ mean self-ratings for attitude toward reading and reading ability also increased for the students in the Reading Buddy groups, but they did not increase for the Special Education student group without buddies.
Overall, results indicated that the use of cooperative reading opportunities can be beneficial to both Regular and Special Education students. Use of the Buddy Reading intervention yielded overall positive results in reading fluency, comprehension, self-rated reading attitudes, and reading ability. However, these benefits must be interpreted with caution, as the differences in gains in fluency and retell scores were not statistically significant across any of the three
conditions. These results suggest that the students who did not have a Reading Buddy made comparable gains in reading skills.

description: Time serves as the foundation of modern society and will continue to grow in value in the future world. Unlike previous research papers, authors delve into various time sources, ranging from atomic time and GPS time to quartz time. Specifically, we explore the time uncertainty associated with the four major Global Navigation Satellite Systems. In existing time synchronization simulations provide partial usages. However, our research introduces a comprehensive and precise time synchronization simulation named P-TimeSync, leading to a better understanding of time synchronization in distributed environments. It is a state-of-the-art simulation tool for time because (1) it can simulate atomic clocks and quartz clocks with user-defined software clock algorithms, (2) the simulation provides nanosecond-level precision time across different network propagation paths and distances, (3) the tool offers a visualization platform with classic algorithms for distributed time synchronization, such as Cristian's algorithm and Berkeley algorithm. The simulation easily allows for the redefinition of configurations and functions, supporting advanced research and development. The simulation tool could be downloaded via the website: https://github.com/rui5097/purdue_timesync

title: Volcanic and Seismic source Modelling (VSM). The Python toolkit for modelling geodetic data - snapshot
Creators: name: Trasatti, Elisa
Publisher: name: https://www.rohub.org
Year: 2022

description: Volcanic and Seismic source Modelling (VSM) is an open source Python tool to model ground deformation detected by satellite and terrestrial geodetic techniques. The VSM tool allows the user to choose one or more geometrical sources as forward model among sphere, spheroid, ellipsoid, fault, and sill. It supports multiple datasets from most satellite and terrestrial geodetic techniques: interferometric SAR, GNSS, levelling, Electro-optical Distance Measuring, tiltmeters and strainmeters. Two sampling algorithms are available, one is a global optimization algorithm based on the Voronoi cells and the second follows a probabilistic approach to parameters estimation based on the Bayes theorem. VSM can be executed as Python script, in Jupyter Notebook environments or by its Graphical User Interface.
Version 1.0 April 2022.

description: Optical feeder links are considered as a promising alternative to surpass classical RF technology for future very high capacity systems. Nevertheless, the potential of this technology shall not conceal the remaining challenges to be overcome to make it relevant for operational missions: clouds, turbulence, power generation and handling and high efficiency modulations. VERTIGO (Very High Throughput Satellite Ground Optical Link) is a H2020 project funded by the European commission and completed early 2023 focusing on the optical link itself regardless of site diversity aspect and demonstrating in ground demonstrations required technologies to implement very high capacity optical feeder links. This paper presents an overview of the demonstrations carried out and the main achievements of the project.

description: Identifying a reasonably small Hilbert space that completely describes an unknown quantum state is crucial for efficient quantum information processing. We introduce a general dimension-certification protocol for both discrete and continuous variables that is fully evidence-based, relying solely on the experimental data collected and no other unjustified assumptions whatsoever. Using the Bayesian concept of relative belief, we take the effective dimension of the state as the smallest one such that the posterior probability is larger than the prior, as dictated by the data. The posterior probabilities associated with the relative-belief ratios measure the strength of the evidence provide by these ratios so that we can assess whether there is weak or strong evidence in favor or against a particular dimension. Using experimental data from spectral-temporal and polarimetry measurements, we demonstrate how to correctly assign Bayesian plausible error bars for the obtained effective dimensions. This makes relative belief a conservative and easy-to-use model-selection method for any experiment.

description: Self-generated turbulence and dome seeing are strong contributors to the degradation of astronomical image quality; besides the now infamous low wind effect, strange temporal power spectra, low (temporal) frequency turbulence, high (spatial) frequency turbulence and strong ground layer all point to local effects. Accounting for and including all these sources of image degradation in our modeling seems intractable. Measuring dome turbulence in telescopes as varied as CFHT, LBT, UH88 and ASTEP, we have shown that these effects are transient, stochastic, and non-stationary, and that they depend on too many environmental parameters to be causally interpreted, such as wind speed, direction, dome azimuth, heat sources, radiative cooling in the telescope structure and its (differential) thermal inertia, natural air temperature variations and partial venting. It therefore seems useless, and on top of that very difficult, to estimate realistic AO performance from simulations that would try to incorporate all these effects. Instead of trying to align our simulations to reality, we propose that we try to align reality to our simulations. Indeed, we do not have to incorporate all these effects in our simulations; we can attempt to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Fortunately, local effects can be attenuated or averted at the source but improving on passive methods requires rapid and accurate sensing of turbulence inside the telescope and dome. To this end, we have been trying to develop a turbulence camera for almost a decade, but it has proved difficult to design a system with a sufficiently wide field and sufficient sensitivity. In the process, we have developed AIRFLOW, a localized turbulence sensor, and recent work on a wide field wavefront sensor based on optical differentiation may open new possibilities.

How do YOU respond to Conflicts of Interest?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 136 examines conflicts of interest in primary care and the pharmaceutical industry. Conclusions: Industry sponsorship of clinical trials can lead to biased conclusions, including exaggerated claims of efficacy and underestimation of harms. Sponsorship influences research design, conduct, publication, and use of results in systematic reviews and guidelines. Many Key Opinion Leaders provide promotion, not unbiased education. In research reports, review articles, guidelines, or continuing professional development events, look for commercial sponsorships. Ask yourself “Who paid for this and why? Is bias likely? What am I not being told?” Look for evidence reviews (like those from the Therapeutics Initiative) that strictly avoid conflicts of interest.
Computational Argumentation-based Chatbots: a Survey

description: Chatbots are conversational software applications designed to interact dialectically with users for a plethora of different purposes. Surprisingly, these colloquial agents have only recently been coupled with computational models of arguments (i.e. computational argumentation), whose aim is to formalise, in a machine-readable format, the ordinary exchange of information that characterises human communications. Chatbots may employ argumentation with different degrees and in a variety of manners. The present survey sifts through the literature to review papers concerning this kind of argumentation-based bot, drawing conclusions about the benefits and drawbacks that this approach entails in comparison with standard chatbots, while also envisaging possible future development and integration with the Transformer-based architecture and state-of-the-art Large Language models.
