description: The LHC is undergoing a high luminosity upgrade, which is set to increase the instantaneous luminosity by at least a factor of five, resulting in a higher muon flux rate in the forward region, which will overwhelm the current trigger system of the CMS experiment. The ME0, a gas electron multiplier detector, is proposed for the Phase-2 Muon System Upgrade to help increase the muon acceptance and to control the Level 1 muon trigger rate. To lower the probability of HV discharges, the ME0 was designed with GEM foils that are segmented on both sides. Initial testing of the ME0 showed substantial crosstalk between readout sectors. Here, we investigate, characterize, and quantify the crosstalk in the detector, and estimate the performance of the chamber as a result of this crosstalk via simulation of the detector dead time, efficiency loss, and frontend electronics response. The results of crosstalk via signals produced by applying a square voltage pulse directly on the readout strips of the detector with a pulser are summarized, and the efficacy of various mitigation strategies are presented. The crosstalk is a result of capacitive coupling between the readout strips on the readout board and between the readout strips and the bottom of GEM3. The crosstalk also generally follows a pattern where the largest magnitude of crosstalk is within the same azimuthal readout segment in the detector and in the nearest horizontal segments. The use of bypass capacitors and larger HV segments successfully reduce the crosstalk: we observe a maximum decrease of crosstalk in sectors previously experiencing crosstalk from $(1.66\pm0.03)\%$ to $(1.11\pm0.02)\%$ with all HV segments connected in parallel on the bottom of GEM3, with an HV low-pass filter, and an HV divider. These mitigation strategies slightly increase crosstalk $\big(\hspace{-0.1cm}\lessapprox 0.4\%\big)$ in readout sectors farther away.

description: Constraining the properties of Population III (Pop III) stars will be very challenging because they reside in small galaxies at high redshift which will be difficult to directly detect. In this paper, we suggest that intensity mapping may be a promising method to study Pop III stars. Intensity mapping is a technique proposed to measure large-scale fluctuations of galaxy line emission in three dimensions without resolving individual sources. This technique is well suited for observing many faint galaxies because it can measure their cumulative emission even if they cannot be directly detected. We focus on intensity mapping of He II recombination lines. These lines are much stronger in Pop III stars than Pop II stars because the harder spectra of Pop III stars are expected to produce many He II ionizing photons. Measuring the He II 1640 Å intensity mapping signal, along with the signals from other lines such as Ly$α$, H$α$, and metal lines, could give constraints on the initial mass function (IMF) and star formation rate density (SFRD) of Pop III stars as a function of redshift. To demonstrate the feasibility of these observations, we estimate the strength of the Pop III He II 1640 Å intensity mapping signal from $z=10-20$. We show that at $z\approx10$, the signal could be measured accurately by two different hypothetical future instruments, one which cross-correlates He II 1640 Å with CO(1-0) line emission from galaxies and the other with 21 cm emission from the intergalactic medium (IGM).

description: Current reviews revealed that there is a lack of effective programs and valuable effectiveness studies related to prevention of aggressive behavior and fostering of social competence in early adolescents participating in organized team sports (e.g., ball sports, such as soccer). Using a randomized controlled design, the present pilot study presents first results regarding the effectiveness of the preventive intervention program “Fairplayer.Sport” that was implemented with preadolescent soccer players (N = 145 preadolescents; aged 9–14 years; mean = 12.2 years) in organized team sport (13 soccer teams). Results revealed a reduction of aggressive behavior in the intervention groups compared to waiting‐control groups (small effect size). This effect remained stable 3 months after program implementation. Implications for planning and implementing preventive intervention programs are discussed.

description: We introduce a new parametrization for the dark energy, led by the same idea to the linear expansion of the equation of state in scale factor $a$ and in redshift $z$, which diverges neither in the past nor future and contains the same number of degrees of freedom with the former two. We present constraints of the cosmological parameters using the most updated baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements along with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and a recent reanalysis of Type Ia supernova (SN) data. This new parametrization allowed us to carry out successive observational analyses by decreasing its degrees of freedom systematically until ending up with a dynamical dark energy model that has the same number of parameters with $Λ$CDM. We found that the dark energy source with a dynamical equation of state parameter equal $-2/3$ at the early universe and $-1$ today fits the data slightly better than $Λ$.

Robust Transmission Network Expansion Planning in Energy Systems: Improving Computational Performance

description: In recent advances in solving the problem of transmission network expansion planning, the use of robust optimization techniques has been put forward, as an alternative to stochastic mathematical programming methods, to make the problem tractable in realistic systems. Different sources of uncertainty have been considered, mainly related to the capacity and availability of generation facilities and demand, and making use of adaptive robust optimization models. The mathematical formulations for these models give rise to three-level mixed-integer optimization problems, which are solved using different strategies. Although it is true that these robust methods are more efficient than their stochastic counterparts, it is also correct that solution times for mixed-integer linear programming problems increase exponentially with respect to the size of the problem. Because of this, practitioners and system operators need to use computationally efficient methods when solving this type of problem. In this paper the issue of improving computational performance by taking different features from existing algorithms is addressed. In particular, we replace the lower-level problem with a dual one, and solve the resulting bi-level problem using a primal cutting plane algorithm within a decomposition scheme. By using this alternative and simple approach, the computing time for solving transmission expansion planning problems has been reduced drastically. Numerical results in an illustrative example, the IEEE-24 and IEEE 118-bus test systems demonstrate that the algorithm is superior in terms of computational performance with respect to existing methods.

description: Is it rational for selfish individuals to cooperate? The conventional answer based on analysis of games such as the Prisoners Dilemma (PD) is that it is not, even though mutual cooperation results in a better outcome for all. This incompatibility between individual rationality and collective benefit lies at the heart of questions about the evolution of cooperation, as illustrated by PD and similar games. Here, we argue that this apparent incompatibility is due to an inconsistency in the standard Nash framework for analyzing non-cooperative games and propose a new paradigm, that of the co-action equilibrium. As in the Nash solution, agents know that others are just as rational as them and taking this into account leads them to realize that others will independently adopt the same strategy, in contrast to the idea of unilateral deviation central to Nash equilibrium thinking. Co-action equilibrium results in better collective outcomes for games representing social dilemmas, with relatively "nicer" strategies being chosen by rational selfish individuals. In particular, the dilemma of PD gets resolved within this framework, suggesting that cooperation can evolve in nature as the rational outcome even for selfish agents, without having to take recourse to additional mechanisms for promoting it.

description: Background: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a chronic, inflammatory vasculitis of the aorta and primary branches, particularly prevalent in women of childbearing age. We studied pregnancy outcomes for women with TAK compared to the general population. Methods: All people in England with an ICD-I0 diagnostic code for TAK from 1997/98 to 2020/21 were identified from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) using National Congenital Abnormality and Rare Disease Registration Service (NCARDRS) data (CAG 10-02(d)/2015). To improve precision of estimated date of diagnosis, we used an English Hospital case register of 122 people with TAK and analysed all HES admissions occurring between the clinically-confirmed diagnosis date and the first TAK ICD-10 code. We identified codes which indicated likely TAK-reIated activity, and then applied these to the whole NCARDRS cohort. Maternity-related ICD-I0 and OPCS-4 code admissions after the estimated diagnosis date were extracted and age-specific values were calculated for number of births, TAK patient years and birth rates. ONS published national data was used for comparison.
 Results: We identified 1,437 people with TAK. Between 2001 and 2021, there were 133 babies born (129 singleton, 2 twin births, no stillbirths) to 85 mothers. Mean maternal age at first delivery was 32.2 years (SD 5.3, median 33.2), above the UK mean of 27.8. See the table for age-specific birth rates compared to a 2019 general population. Overall birth rate in women with TAK was 62.5% of the national England/Wales rate. Gestational diabetes (GDM) was present in 13/131 deliveries (9.9%) but large variation in UK prevalence estimates makes national comparison difficult. Mothers with GDM had median age of 37 and delivery was by C-section in 9/13 cases. For non-GDM, 50% (95% CI: 41%, 59%) were C-section, significantly higher than the UK level of 26%. 12% were vacuum and/or forceps assisted deliveries, approximately equal to the general population.
 Conclusions: The birth rate in women with TAK is lower than the general population and C-section rates higher. Causes are complex and might include personal choice, physician recommendation or reduced fertility related to disease activity or cytotoxic treatment. These findings highlight the importance of equitable access to specialist pre-conception counselling for people with rare autoimmune diseases.

description: Background: Takayasu’s arteritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by a large vessel vasculitis. It is characterised by inflammation of vessel walls which can lead to stenosis, occlusion, dilation, or aneurysm formation. It usually affects women of childbearing age, with 90% of patients diagnosed < 30 years of age, and previous studies suggest it is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. There is a vast discrepancy within the literature; some studies suggest preeclampsia occurring in 4.5% of patients, while others suggest a rate of 61%. The purpose of our work was to determine the prevalence of both maternal and foetal outcomes in patients with Takayasu’s arteritis through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature using Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library from their inceptions until March 26, 2021, to identify studies that reported pregnancy outcomes in patients with Takayasu’s arteritis. Demographic information, maternal outcomes, foetal outcomes, prednisolone use, and information on disease activity were extracted from studies. Two authors independently selected the studies, extracted the data and assessed for risk of bias. Results: Our systematic review identified 6638 abstracts, of which 23 articles were included. The miscarriage rate was 11 [7-16] % and an intrauterine death rate of 1[0-3] %. Preeclampsia was reported in 10[7-12] % of patients (Figure 1). Preterm delivery occurred in 15[12-19] %. New hypertension in pregnancy was reported in 12[8-16] %. Intrauterine growth restriction occurred in 16[10-21] % of pregnancies. The prevalence of caesarean sections among Takayasu patients was 28 [22-28] % (Figure 2). In terof foetal outcomes, low birth weight was associated with 16[10-21] % of live births (Figure 3). Flares of vasculitis occurred in 11[8-15] % of patients. The prevalence of caesarean sections, preterm birth and preeclampsia increased over the time. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of both maternal and foetal adverse outcomes in pregnant patients with Takayasu’s arteritis, who require careful management by a multidisciplinary team during pregnancy.

description: In insulators, Born effective charges describe the electrical polarization induced by the displacement of individual atomic sublattices. Such a physical property is at first sight irrelevant for metals and doped semiconductors, where the macroscopic polarization is ill-defined. Here we show that, in clean conductors, going beyond the adiabatic approximation results in nonadiabatic Born effective charges that are well defined in the low-frequency limit. In addition, we find that the sublattice sum of the nonadiabatic Born effective charges does not vanish as it does in the insulating case, but instead is proportional to the Drude weight. We demonstrate these formal results with density functional perturbation theory calculations of Al, and electron-doped SnS$_2$ and SrTiO$_3$.

description: Halo-based models have been successful in predicting the clustering of matter. However, the validity of the postulate that the clustering is fully determined by matter inside haloes remains largely untested, and it is not clear a priori whether non-virialised matter might contribute significantly to the non-linear clustering signal. Here, we investigate the contribution of haloes to the matter power spectrum as a function of both scale and halo mass by combining a set of cosmological N-body simulations to calculate the contributions of different spherical overdensity regions, Friends-of-Friends (FoF) groups and matter outside haloes to the power spectrum. We find that matter inside spherical overdensity regions of size R200,mean cannot account for all power for 120 h/Mpc). For 210^9 Msun/h accounts for essentially all power for 31 h/Mpc).

description: We study the quantum many-body dynamics and the entropy production triggered by an interaction quench in a system of $N=10$ interacting identical bosons in an external one-dimensional harmonic trap. The multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for bosons (MCTDHB) is used for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation at a high level of accuracy. We consider many-body entropy measures such as the Shannon information entropy, number of principal components, and occupation entropy that are computed from the time-dependent many-body basis set used in MCTDHB. These measures quantify relevant physical features such as irregular or chaotic dynamics, statistical relaxation and thermalization. We monitor the entropy measures as a function of time and assess how they depend on the interaction strength. For larger interaction strength, the many-body information entropy approaches the value predicted for the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices and implies statistical relaxation. The basis states of MCTDHB are explicitly time-dependent and optimized by the variational principle in a way that minimizes the number of significantly contributing ones. It is therefore a non-trivial fact that statistical relaxation prevails in MCTDHB computations. Moreover, we demonstrate a fundamental connection between the production of entropy, the build-up of correlations and loss of coherence in the system. Since the coherence and correlations are experimentally accessible, their present connection to many-body entropies can be scrutinized to detect statistical relaxation. Our results are the first ones obtained for thermalization of finite quantum systems using an optimized time-dependent and genuinely many-body basis set.

description: The Extensible Quality Standard for Institutional Publishing (EQSIP), developed by DIAMAS, seeks to ensure the quality and transparency of governance, processes and workflows in institutional publishing and addresses the seven core components of scholarly publishing outlined in the Diamond OA Action Plan, which were subsequently revised and modified by the DIAMAS project team (Quality evaluation criteria, best practices, and assessment systems for Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs) https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7859172).
 The EQSIP is being developed in two stages: the first version, EQSIP 1.0 available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7923916 and presented in this poster, is based on an analysis of the existing standards, best practices, evaluation criteria, guidelines and recommendations which have been identified as relevant for institutional publishers. EQSIP 1.0 is aspirational: it represents an attempt at outlining what we believe is an ideal quality level that Diamond OA IPSPs would adhere to. This emphatically does not imply that Diamond OA IPSPs are currently expected to conform to this standard. EQSIP 1.0 should be seen as an aspirational gold standard for IPSPs, but also as a pathway for building future tools, aids and guidelines that will help academic journals and publishers to achieve this goal.
 EQSIP 1.0 will be further tested with a representative sample of IPSPs and the results of the testing will be used to develop EQSIP 2.0 versions that are best suited for specific scholarly disciplines, regions, and languages. The various versions of EQSIP 2.0 will only be fully implemented once all the necessary infrastructure for supporting Diamond OA IPSPs is in place.
 PALOMERA, CRAFT-OA and other projects supporting Diamond OA will help DIAMAS in EQSIP testing and dissemination.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα αναλύθηκε η ατμόσφαιρα ως καθοριστικός παράγοντας για την εμπειρία μάρκας που αποκομίζει ο επισκέπτης από την επίσκεψή του στο μουσείο, και πως η εμπειρία αυτή μαζί τα χαρακτηριστικά της ατμόσφαιρας του μουσειακού χώρου επιδρούν στη διάδοση από στόμα σε στόμα των επισκεπτών. Παράλληλα μελετήθηκε και η σχέση της πιστότητας μάρκας που αφορά στην αφοσίωση των επισκεπτών σε ένα συγκεκριμένο μουσείο με τη διάδοση από στόμα σε στόμα. Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να οδηγήσει σε σημαντικά συμπεράσματα για τα ελληνικά μουσεία τα οποία σταδιακά αρχίζουν και εισάγουν πιο ενεργά το συγκεκριμένο μάρκετινγκ ώστε να προσελκύσουν περισσότερους επισκέπτες αλλά και να εξασφαλίσουν τη βιωσιμότητά τους. Όσον αφορά στην μεθοδολογία, πραγματοποιήθηκε μια ποσοτική έρευνα που διενεργήθηκε διαδικτυακά και βασίστηκε σε 178 ερωτηματολόγια από ανθρώπους που έχουν επισκεφθεί κατά τον τελευταίο χρόνο κάποιο ελληνικό μουσείο. Τέλος για την ανάλυση των δεδομένων χρησιμοποιήθηκε το υπολογιστικό πρόγραμμα IBM SPSS. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η πιστότητα και η εμπειρία μάρκας ενισχύουν τη διάδοση από στόμα σε στόμα όπως και κάποια χαρακτηριστικά της ατμόσφαιρας του μουσείου όπως η αισθητική του χώρου και η ποιότητα της έκθεσης.
description: In this thesis, the role of the atmosphere of a museum in the context of marketing and the influence it has on the museum experience obtained by the visitor, was studied. Specifically, the atmosphere was analyzed as a determining factor for the brand experience, that the visitor obtains from his visit in the museum. It was analyzed, how this experience including the characteristics of the atmosphere of the museum space, influence world of mouth recommendation among the visitors. At the same time, the relationship of Brand Loyalty, which refers to the loyalty of visitors to a specific museum, with the World of Mouth, was also studied. The aim of this thesis is to lead to important conclusions about Greek museums, which gradually, start to introduce more actively this specific marketing, in order to attract more visitors and also, to ensure their sustainability. As regards the methodology, a quantitative survey was carried out, which was conducted online and based on 178 questionnaires from people who have visited a Greek museum in the last year. Finally, the computer program that was used for the data analysis, was the IBP SPSS. The results showed that brand loyalty and brand experience, strengthen the World of Mouth, as well as some characteristics of the museum’s atmosphere, such as the aesthetics of the space and the quality of the exhibition.
title: Production relations for old people's homes
Creators: name: Knapp, Martin Richard John
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Old people's homes pursue, either explicitly or implicitly, a number of goals or objectives. These may be specified at both an "intermediate" stage (in terms of beds or places provided, and services rendered) and at a "final" stage (in terms of improvements in the well-being of residents, and benefits to residents' significant others). Successful care may thus be described as care which achieved these objectives, if only partially, and the degree of success defines the intermediate and final outputs of the home. Three groups of factors will determine the degree of success or the outputs: the resource inputs (labour and capital), the personal characteristics and experiences of residents before, during and after entry, and the social environment and caring milieu of the home. These last two groups comprise the non-resource inputs into care. This "production of welfare" perspective on care is described and its relationship with the gerontology, social work and social policy literatures examined in the first half of the thesis. The perspective is also used as a structure to discuss some of the post-war developments in residential care for the elderly, although a comprehensive historical review is not attempted. The second half of the thesis uses the production of welfare approach to define the concept of "efficiency" in residential care, and to examine it from five different perspectives. Four of these perspectives or modes of analysis are applied using quantitative evidence for a number of samples of homes. Cost and production functions for intermediate outputs are estimated and their policy potential evaluated. The other two quantitative analyses focus on staff levels and ratios, and on staff turnover and vacancies. The final chapter examines the usefulness of cost effectiveness and cost benefit techniques for policy development and the pursuit of efficiency in the personal social services.

description: With the increase of complexity of modern software, social collaborative coding and reuse of open source software packages become more and more popular, which thus greatly enhances the development efficiency and software quality. However, the explosive growth of open source software packages exposes developers to the challenge of information overload. While this can be addressed by conventional recommender systems, they usually do not consider particular constraints of social coding such as social influence among developers and dependency relations among software packages. In this paper, we aim to model the dynamic interests of developers with both social influence and dependency constraints, and propose the Session-based Social and Dependency-aware software Recommendation (SSDRec) model. This model integrates recurrent neural network (RNN) and graph attention network (GAT) into a unified framework. An RNN is employed to model the short-term dynamic interests of developers in each session and two GATs are utilized to capture social influence from friends and dependency constraints from dependent software packages, respectively. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world datasets and the results demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms the competitive baselines.

description: Salivary gland inflammation is most commonly due to obstruction of salivary outflow by a sialolith in the duct or a bacterial infection. Antibiotic therapy for acute infections and minimally invasive procedures such as sialendoscopy for chronic inflammation are usually effective. Bacterial infections are acutely symptomatic and tend to occur in dehydrated patients, such as hospitalized elderly patients following surgery. Virus- induced salivary gland inflammation can include mild diseases such as mumps to more severe pathologies such as HIV. Granulomatous diseases typically manifest as a painless enlarging mass. In chronic infections, ductal obstruction might be a predisposing factor.

description: Heterogeneous information networks (HINs) are widely applied to recommendation systems due to their capability of modeling various auxiliary information with meta-paths. However, existing HIN-based recommendation models usually fuse the information from various meta-paths by simple weighted sum or concatenation, which limits performance improvement because it lacks the capability of interest compositions among meta-paths. In this article, we propose an HIN-based Interest Composition model for Recommendation (HicRec). Specifically, user and item representations are learned with a graph neural network on both the graph structure and features in each meta-path, and a parameter sharing mechanism is utilized here to ensure that the user and item representations are in the same latent space. Then, users' interests in each item from each pair of related meta-paths are calculated by a combination of the user and item representations. The composed user interests are obtained by their single interest from both intra- and inter-meta-paths for recommendation. Extensive experiments are conducted on three real-world datasets and the results demonstrate that our proposed HicRec model outperforms the baselines.

Disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and its nanocomposites: relaxation dynamics, entanglement formation and anisotropic properties due to orientation

description: In the present doctoral research, the chain relaxations and dynamics present in linear disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (both pure and as a composite) were investigated and presented. Considering its disentangled character, the relaxation dynamics and the formation of entanglements were primarily analysed. Additionally, the presence of fillers and the effect of uniaxial orientation were also studied. With respect to the chain relaxation analysis, torsional rheology and broadband dielectric spectroscopy were employed to identify the disentangled amorphous phase in comparison with fully entangled samples. The rheological results gave significantly different relaxation behaviour for the disentangled sample, affecting all the mechanical processes namely αc-, β- and 𝛾-relaxations, with the latter exhibiting a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence, indicative of the dynamic glass-to-rubber transition. This indication would support previous studies that would locate the glass transition temperature of linear polyethylene around -100oC. The dielectric analysis was only possible in the presence of Al2O3 catalytic ashes and expanded further the relaxation investigation by showing two types of interfacial polarization attributed to the disentangled and entangled amorphous phases.

description: We present a class of models in which dark matter (DM) is a fermionic singlet under the Standard Model (SM) gauge group but is charged under a symmetry of flavour that acts as well on the SM fermions. Interactions between DM and SM particles are mediated by the scalar fields that spontaneously break the flavour symmetry, the so-called flavons. In the case of gauged flavour symmetries, the interactions are also mediated by the flavour gauge bosons. We first discuss the construction and the generic features of this class of models. Then a concrete example with an abelian flavour symmetry is considered. We compute the complementary constraints from the relic abundance, direct detection experiments and flavour observables, showing that wide portions of the parameter space are still viable. Other possibilities like non-abelian flavour symmetries can be analysed within the same framework.

description: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering demonstrates that two parties share entanglement even if the measurement devices of one party are untrusted. Here, going beyond this bipartite concept, we develop a novel formalism to explore a large class of EPR steering from generic multipartite quantum systems of arbitrarily high dimensionality and degrees of freedom, such as graph states and hyperentangled systems. All of these quantum characteristics of genuine high-order EPR steering can be efficiently certified with few measurement settings in experiments. We faithfully demonstrate for the first time such generality by experimentally showing genuine four-partite EPR steering and applications to universal one-way quantum computing. Our formalism provides a new insight into the intermediate type of genuine multipartite Bell non-locality and potential applications to quantum of untrusted measurement devices.

description: For an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we recall $L_\mathcal{P}(n)=|n\mathcal{P} \cap \mathbb{Z}^d|$ the Ehrhart polynomial of $\mathcal{P}$. Let $g_r(\mathcal{P})$ be the $r$th coefficients of $L_\mathcal{P}(n)$ for $r=0,\ldots,d$. Martin Henk and Makoto Tagami gave lower bounds on the coefficients $g_r(\mathcal{P})$ in terms of the volume of $\mathcal{P}$. They proved that these bounds are best possible for $r \in \{1,2,d-2\}$. We show that these bounds are also optimal for $r=3$ and $d-r$ even and we give a new best possible bound for $r=d-3$.

description: Temperature is a deceptively simple concept that still raises deep questions at the forefront of quantum physics research. The observation of thermalisation in completely isolated quantum systems, such as cold-atom quantum simulators, implies that a temperature can be assigned even to individual, pure quantum states. Here, we propose a scheme to measure the temperature of such pure states through quantum interference. Our proposal involves interferometry of an auxiliary qubit probe, which is prepared in a superposition state and subsequently decoheres due to weak coupling with a closed, thermalised many-body system. Using only a few basic assumptions about chaotic quantum systems -- namely, the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis and the emergence of hydrodynamics at long times -- we show that the qubit undergoes pure exponential decoherence at a rate that depends on the temperature of its surroundings. We verify our predictions by numerical experiments on a quantum spin chain that thermalises after absorbing energy from a periodic drive. Our work provides a general method to measure the temperature of isolated, strongly interacting systems under minimal assumptions.

description: INTERPOL, as an international law enforcement organization, plays a crucial role in promoting global security and cooperation among its member countries. While INTERPOL primarily focuses on facilitating the exchange of information, intelligence, and resources to combat transnational crime and terrorism, it indirectly benefits from and supports the development of essential skills, training, and methodologies within law enforcement agencies worldwide. Skills coaching, Six Sigma principles, and 5S methodologies are tools that many law enforcement organizations adopt to enhance their operational efficiency and effectiveness. These techniques can improve the capabilities of law enforcement personnel, streamline processes, and maintain organized work environments, which, in turn, contribute to more efficient international collaboration and the pursuit of INTERPOL's mission to make the world a safer place.

Rashba-coupling modelling for two-dimensional and high-order Rashba Hamiltonian for one-dimensional confined heavy holes

description: Based on standard k.p (8 x 8) multiband Hamiltonian, we have deduced an explicit analytical expression for the Rashba-coupling parameter which clarifies its anomalous behavior for heavy holes (hh), gated in quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) systems, by letting grow the density. Our modelling remarkable better agrees with experimental results in comparison with earlier theoretical models, while recovers the expected cubic dependence on the quasi-momentum. For quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) hh systems, we have formally derived an effective Rashba Hamiltonian with two competitive terms on the quasi-momentum, a linear term and a cubic one as predicted from suitable approximations to the Q2D scope. The Rashba-coupling parameters also behave anomalously and qualitatively support recent experiments in core/shell nanowires. Furthermore, they exhibit an essential asymptotic discontinuity in the low density regime as a function of the lateral confinement length. For hh, we present closed schemes to accurately quote the Rashba-coupling parameters both for the Q2D and Q1D systems, which become unprecedented for holes.
