description: Occupational injuries and deaths impose a substantial threat to the health and wellbeing of firefighters globally. Firefighters reported high rates of morbidity and mortality, surpassing other occupations. The primary objective of this study was to expand the initial Firefighter Fatality and Injury study (2006-2018) and to evaluate the trends and patterns in fatality and time loss injury claims over a period of 15 years (2007-2021). It further aimed to identify the leading causes of fatalities and injuries among firefighters across Canada.

description: Since the universe is not transparent to gamma rays with energies above around one hundred GeV, it is necessary to account for the interaction of high-energy photons with intergalactic radiation fields in order to model gamma-ray propagation. Here, we present a public numerical software for the modeling of gamma-ray observables. This code computes the effects on gamma-ray spectra from the development of electromagnetic cascades and cosmological redshifting. The code introduced here is based on the original $γ$-Cascade, and builds on it by improving its performance at high redshifts, introducing new propagation modules, and adding many more extragalactic radiation field models, which enables the ability to estimate the uncertainties inherent to EBL modeling. We compare the results of this new code to existing Monte Carlo electromagnetic transport models, finding good agreement within EBL uncertainties.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of AstroSat/LAXPC data of the second spin-up and second spin-down phases of the persistent X-ray pulsar 4U 1626-67. Flares followed by a broad dip are detected in the spin-up observations. The pulse profiles changed from a shoulder-like structure to a broad sinusoidal shape as the source underwent a torque reversal from spin-up to spin-down. Energy-resolved pulse profiles in lower energies showed a double-horned profile in the spin-up state and a flat top with multiple peaks in the spin-down state. Regardless of the torque state, the pulse profiles exhibit a broad single-peaked shape at higher energies. The observation in the spin-down era is characterised by the presence of a prominent QPO at 46.5 +/- 1.0 mHz frequency. The QPO rms and centre frequency show a correlation with energy. Spin-up and spin-down states show a difference in the shape of the power density spectrum. After the torque reversal, a gradual flux drop and the hardening of the spectra were observed. The difference in the shape of the pulse profiles and the presence and absence of QPOs can be explained by the change in accretion flow geometry of the pulsar, from pencil-beam to fan-beam, between spin-down and spin-up states.

description: We consider the complete set of planar two-loop five-point Feynman integrals with two off-shell external legs. These integrals are relevant, for instance, for the calculation of the second-order QCD corrections to the production of two heavy vector bosons in association with a jet or a photon at a hadron collider. We construct pure bases for these integrals and reconstruct their analytic differential equations in canonical form through numerical sampling over finite fields. The newly identified symbol alphabet, one of the most complex to date, provides valuable data for bootstrap methods. We then apply our results to initiate the study of double Lagrangian insertions in a four-cusp Wilson loop in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, computing it through two loops. We observe that it is finite, conformally invariant in four dimensions, and of uniform transcendentality. Furthermore, we provide numerical evidence for its positivity within the amplituhedron region through two loops.

The Quantum Memory Matrix: A Unified Framework for the Black Hole Information Paradox

description: We present the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) hypothesis, which addresses the longstanding Black Hole Information Paradox rooted in the apparent conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR). This paradox raises the question of how information is preserved during black hole formation and evaporation, given that Hawking radiation appears to result in information loss, challenging unitarity in quantum mechanics. The QMM hypothesis proposes that space-time itself acts as a dynamic quantum information reservoir, with quantum imprints encoding information about quantum states and interactions directly into the fabric of space-time at the Planck scale. By defining a quantized model of space-time and mechanisms for information encoding and retrieval, QMM aims to conserve information in a manner consistent with unitarity during black hole processes. We develop a mathematical framework that includes space-time quantization, definitions of quantum imprints, and interactions that modify quantum state evolution within this structure. Explicit expressions for the interaction Hamiltonians are provided, demonstrating unitarity preservation in the combined system of quantum fields and the QMM. This hypothesis is compared with existing theories, including the holographic principle, black hole complementarity, and loop quantum gravity, noting its distinctions and examining its limitations. Finally, we discuss observable implications of QMM, suggesting pathways for experimental evaluation, such as potential deviations from thermality in Hawking radiation and their effects on gravitational wave signals. The QMM hypothesis aims to provide a pathway towards resolving the Black Hole Information Paradox while contributing to broader discussions in quantum gravity and cosmology.

description: Movable antenna (MA) is a new technology which leverages local movement of antennas to improve channel qualities and enhance the communication performance. Nevertheless, to fully realize the potential of MA systems, complete channel state information (CSI) between the transmitter-MA and the receiver-MA is required, which involves estimating a large number of channel parameters and incurs an excessive amount of training overhead. To address this challenge, in this paper, we propose a CSI-free MA position optimization method. The basic idea is to treat position optimization as a black-box optimization problem and calculate the gradient of the unknown objective function using zeroth-order (ZO) gradient approximation techniques. Simulation results show that the proposed ZO-based method, through adaptively adjusting the position of the MA, can achieve a favorable signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) using a smaller number of position measurements than the CSI-based approach. Such a merit makes the proposed algorithm more adaptable to fast-changing propagation channels.

description: The portfolio acquisition model is essentially a decision-making tool used to produce a bid that investors will make on an existing portfolio of loans. In this case, the loans are Home Equity Lines Of Credit (HELOC) (or ‘second mortgage’ because they are secured by the borrowers property, as is the ‘first mortgage’) typically with a maximum term of 15 years, with interest-only payments terminating in a final bullet payment. Borrowing is allowed up to the credit limit at any time at a variable rate tied to prime–can be fixed or floating–partial principal repayments are allowed, but not scheduled.

Critical Behaviour in the Single Flavor Thirring Model in 2+1$d$ with Wilson Kernel Domain Wall Fermions

description: We present results of a lattice field theory simulation of the 2+1$d$ Thirring model with $N=1$ fermion flavors, using domain wall fermions. The model exhibits a U(2) symmetry-breaking phase transition with the potential to define a UV-stable renormalisation group fixed point. The novelty is the replacement of the Shamir kernel used in all previous work with the Wilson kernel, improving the action particularly with respect to the $L_s\to\infty$ limit needed to recover U(2), now under much better control. Auxiliary field ensembles generated on $16^3\times24$ with varying self-interaction strength $g^2$ and bare mass $m$ are used to measure the bilinear condensate order parameter $\langle\barψiγ_3ψ\rangle$ with domain wall separations as large as $L_s=120$. The resulting $L_s\to\infty$ extrapolation is used to fit an empirical equation of state modelling spontaneous symmetry breaking as $m\to0$. The fit is remarkably stable and compelling, with the fitted critical exponents $β_m\simeq2.4$, $δ\simeq1.3$ differing markedly from previous estimates. The associated susceptibility exhibits a mass hierarchy in line with physical expectations, again unlike previous estimates. Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) solutions of the Thirring model exploiting a hidden local symmetry in the action are reviewed, and analytic predictions presented for the exponents. In contrast to all previous lattice studies, the universal characteristics of the critical point revealed qualitatively resemble the SDE predictions.

description: Background: The Period of PURPLE Crying Program® (PURPLE) is a universal parent educatio program that is delivered by nurses and health care providers to all parents/caregiver of newborns in British Columbia (B.C.). The aim of the program is to reduce the incidence of Traumatic Head Injury -Child Maltreatment (THI-CM), a form of child physical abuse. Objective: To determine if the PURPLE program had an impact on the rate of physical abuse hospitalizations for children less than or equal to 24 months of age in B.C. since implementation in 2009. Methods: The analysis measured physical abuse hospitalization rates for the period January 1,1999 to December 31, 2019 and excluded any cases of confirmed Traumatic Head Injury-Child Maltreatment. Data were divided into pre-implementation period January,1999 to December, 2008, and post-implementation period January, 2009 to December, 2019. Data were obtained from the Discharge Abstract Database and B.C. THI-CM Surveillance System to capture information on infant child abuse. Poisson regression and ANCOVA was applied to model the change in rates pre and post program implementation. Results: Physical abuse hospitalization rates decreased by 30% post program implementation (95% CI: -14%, 57%, p=0.1561). The decreasing linear trend in the post-implementation period was significantly different than the increasing linear trend in the pre-implementation period (F1,17=4.832, p=0.042). Conclusions: Nurses’ role in engaging parents in conversations about PURPLE messages over multiple timepoints within a structured universal program model resulted in a decrease in physical abuse hospitalization rates since the implementation of PURPLE.

description: This paper explores the relativistic quantum motion of scalar bosons in the presence of mixed topological defects: cosmic strings and global monopoles. The Klein-Gordon equation with generalized Coulomb potentials is analyzed in this background. The effects of these topological defects on the equations of motion, phase shifts, and the S-matrix are examined in detail. Bound state solutions are derived from the poles of the S-matrix. We provide analytical expressions for the energy spectrum of bound states, with particular attention to how the parameters of scalar and vector potentials affect the behavior of the system. Furthermore, we explore particular cases involving pure scalar, vector, and mixed scalar-vector potentials, showing how these scenarios impose particular conditions on the existence of bound states. Our results indicate that the solutions obtained associated with scattering and bound states depend significantly on the parameters of the topological defects.

description: We present a general method to compute canonical averages for physical models sampled via quantum or classical quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). First, we introduce a histogram reweighting scheme applicable to QUBO-based sampling constrained to specific intervals of an order parameter, e.g., physical energy. Next, we demonstrate that the scheme can accurately recover the density of states, which in turn allows for calculating expectation values in the conjugate ensemble, e.g., at a fixed temperature. The method can thus be used to advance the state-of-the-art characterization of physical systems that admit a QUBO-based representation and that are otherwise intractable with real-space sampling methods. A case in point are space-filling melts of lattice ring polymers, recently mapped in QUBO form, for which our method reveals that the ring catenation probability is non-monotonic with the bending rigidity.

description: The emergence of magnetic flux, its transition to complex configurations, and the pre-eruptive state of active regions are probed using photospheric magnetograms. We aim to pinpoint different evolutionary stages in active regions, explore their differences and produce parameters that could advance flare prediction, using color-coded maps of the photospheric magnetic field. The three components of the photospheric magnetic field vector are combined in color-coded magnetograms (COCOMAGs). From these, the areas occupied by different colors are extracted, creating appropriate time series (color curves). The COCOMAGs and color curves are used as proxies of the active region evolution and complexity. The COCOMAGs morphology reflects typical features of active regions, such as sunspots, plages, and sheared polarity inversion lines. The color curves represent the area occupied by photospheric magnetic field of different orientation and contain information relevant to the evolutionary stages of active regions. During emergence, most of the area is dominated by horizontal or highly inclined magnetic field, which gradually gives its place to more vertical magnetic field. In complex regions, large parts are covered by highly inclined magnetic fields, appearing as abrupt color changes. Active region decay is signified by a domination of vertical magnetic field, indicating a gradual relaxation of the magnetic field configuration. The color curves exhibit varying degree of correlation with active region complexity. The red and magenta color curves, which represent strong, purely horizontal magnetic field, are good indicators of future flaring. Color-coded magnetograms facilitate a comprehensive view of the evolution of active regions and their complexity. They offer a framework for the treatment of complex observations and can be used in pattern recognition, feature extraction and flare prediction.

description: Penetration testing, a critical component of cybersecurity, typically requires extensive time and effort to find vulnerabilities. Beginners in this field often benefit from collaborative approaches with the community or experts. To address this, we develop CIPHER (Cybersecurity Intelligent Penetration-testing Helper for Ethical Researchers), a large language model specifically trained to assist in penetration testing tasks. We trained CIPHER using over 300 high-quality write-ups of vulnerable machines, hacking techniques, and documentation of open-source penetration testing tools. Additionally, we introduced the Findings, Action, Reasoning, and Results (FARR) Flow augmentation, a novel method to augment penetration testing write-ups to establish a fully automated pentesting simulation benchmark tailored for large language models. This approach fills a significant gap in traditional cybersecurity Q\&A benchmarks and provides a realistic and rigorous standard for evaluating AI's technical knowledge, reasoning capabilities, and practical utility in dynamic penetration testing scenarios. In our assessments, CIPHER achieved the best overall performance in providing accurate suggestion responses compared to other open-source penetration testing models of similar size and even larger state-of-the-art models like Llama 3 70B and Qwen1.5 72B Chat, particularly on insane difficulty machine setups. This demonstrates that the current capabilities of general LLMs are insufficient for effectively guiding users through the penetration testing process. We also discuss the potential for improvement through scaling and the development of better benchmarks using FARR Flow augmentation results. Our benchmark will be released publicly at https://github.com/ibndias/CIPHER.

description: This paper has studied the problem of detecting a range-spread target in interference and noise when the number of training data is limited. The interference is located within a certain subspace with an unknown coordinate, while the noise follows a Gaussian distribution with an unknown covariance matrix. We concentrate on the scenarios where the training data are limited and employ a Bayesian framework to ffnd a solution. Speciffcally, the covariance matrix is assumed to follow an inverse Wishart distribution. Then, we introduce the Bayesian detector according to the Rao test, which, demonstrated by both simulation experiment and real data, has superior detection performance to the existing detectors in certain situations.

We detect significant 401 Hz pulsations across the 0.5$-$150 keV band. The pulse fraction increases from $\sim$2% at 1 keV to $\sim$13% at 66 keV. Five type-I X-ray bursts have been detected, including three photospheric radius expansion bursts, with a rise time of $\sim$2 s and an exponential decay time of $\sim$5 s. The recurrence time is $\sim$9.1 h, which can be explained by unstable thermonuclear burning of hydrogen-deficient material on the neutron star surface. The quasi-simultaneous 1$-$150 keV broadband spectra from NICER, NuSTAR, and INTEGRAL can be well fitted by an absorbed reflection model, relxillCp, and a Gaussian line of instrumental origin. The Comptonized emission from the hot corona is characterized by a photon index $Γ$ of $\sim$1.8 and an electron temperature $kT_{\rm e}$ of $\sim$40 keV. We obtain a low inclination angle $i\sim34^{\circ}$. The accretion disk shows properties of strong ionization, $\log(ξ/{\rm erg~cm~s^{-1}})\sim4.5$, over-solar abundance, $A_{\rm Fe}\sim 7.7$, and high density, $\log(n_{\rm e}/{\rm cm^{-3}})\sim 19.5$. However, a lower disk density with normal abundance and ionization could also be possible. From the inner disk radius $R_{\rm in}=1.67R_{\rm ISCO}$ and the long-term spin-down rate of $-3.1(2)\times10^{-15}~{\rm Hz~s^{-1}}$, we constrain the magnetic field of IGR J17498$-$2921 in the range of $(0.9-2.4)\times10^8$ G.

description: High-resolution observations reveal that the outflows of evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars harbour complex morphological structures that are linked to the presence of one or multiple companions. Hydrodynamical simulations provide a way to study the impact of a companion on the shaping of the AGB outflow. Using smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations of a mass losing AGB star with a binary companion, we study the impact of including HI atomic line cooling on the flow morphology and on the properties of accretion disks that form around the companion. We perform high-resolution 3D SPH simulations of the interaction of a solar-mass companion with the outflow of an AGB star using different wind velocities and eccentricities. We compare the models properties computed with and without the inclusion of HI cooling. The inclusion of HI cooling produces a large decrease in the temperature up to one order of magnitude in the region closely surrounding the companion star. As a consequence, morphological irregularities and relatively energetic outflows that were obtained without HI cooling no longer appear. In case of an eccentric orbit and low wind velocity, the morphologies are still highly asymmetric, but the same structures recur at every orbital period, making the morphology more regular. Flared accretion disks with a (sub)-Keplerian velocity profile form around the companion in all models, provided the accretion radius is small enough. The disks have radial sizes ranging from about 0.4 to 0.9 au. For the considered wind velocities, mass accretion onto the companion is up to 2 times higher than predicted by the BHL rate, and ranges between 0.04-0.21 times the AGB wind mass loss rate. The lower the wind velocity at the location of the companion, the larger and the more massive the disk, and the higher the mass accretion efficiency.

description: Antimicrobial resistance is a global healthcare threat with significant clinical and economic consequences peaking at secondary and tertiary care hospitals where multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR GNB) lead to poor outcomes. A prospective study was conducted between January and December 2019 for all invasive bloodstream infections (BSIs) secondary to MDR GNB in Qatar identified during routine microbiological service to examine their clinical, microbiological, and genomic characteristics. Out of 3238 episodes of GNB BSIs, the prevalence of MDR GNB was 13% (429/3238). The predominant MDR pathogens were Escherichia coli (62.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.4%), Salmonella species (6.6%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.3%), while out of 245 clinically evaluated patients, the majority were adult males, with the elderly constituting almost one-third of the cohort and with highest observed risk for prolonged hospital stays. The risk factors identified included multiple comorbidities, recent healthcare contact, previous antimicrobial therapy, and admission to critical care. The in-hospital mortality rate was recorded at 25.7%, associated with multiple comorbidities, admission to critical care, and the acquisition of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Resistant pathogens demonstrated high levels of antimicrobial resistance but noticeable susceptibility to amikacin and carbapenems. Genomic analysis revealed that Escherichia coli ST131 and Salmonella enterica ST1 were the predominant clones not observed with other pathogens.

General Shells and Generalized Functions

description: In this work, standard methods of the mixed thin-shell foramlism are refined using the framework of Colombeau's theory of generalized functions. To this end, systematic use is made of smooth generalized functions, in particular regularizations of the Heaviside step function and the delta distribution, instead of working directly with the corresponding Schwartz distributions. Based on this change of method, the resulting extended thin shell formalism is shown to offer a decisive advantage over traditional approaches to the subject: it avoids dealing with ill-defined products of distributions in the calculation of nonlinear curvature expressions, thereby allowing for the treatment of problems that prove intractable with the 'conventional' thin-shell formalism. This includes, in particular, the problem of matching singular spacetimes with distributional metrics (containing a delta distribution term) across a joint boundary hypersurface in spacetime, the problem of setting up the dominant energy condition for thin shells, and the problem of defining reasonably rigorously nonlinear distribution-valued curvature invariants needed in higher-derivative theories of gravity. Eventually, as a further application, close links to Penrose's cut-and-paste method are established by proving that results of said method can be re-derived using the generalized formalism presented.

NSVS 14256825: period variation and orbital stability analysis of two possible substellar companions

description: Recent period investigations of the Post-Common Envelop Binary (PCEB) NSVS 14256825 suggested that two circumbinary companions were necessary to explain the observed Eclipse Timing Variations (ETVs). Our objective was to search for the best-fitting curve of two LTTE terms in the ETV diagram, implementing a grid search optimization scheme of Keplerian (kinematic) and Newtonian (N-body) fits, alongside a dynamical stability analysis of N-body simulations. We compiled two datasets of archival photometric data covering a different timeline and updated them with new observations and with three new times of minima (TOMs) calculated from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}). A grid search optimization process was implemented and the resulted solutions, that fell within the $90\%$ confidence interval of the best-fitting curve of the ETV diagram, were tested for orbital stability using N-body simulations and the MEGNO chaos indicator. The Keplerian and Netwonian fits are in close agreement and hundreds of stable configurations were identified for both datasets reaching a lifetime of 1 Myr. Our results suggest that the ETV data can be explained by the presence of a circumbinary planet with mass $m_b=11 M_{Jup.}$ in a nearly circular inner orbit of period $P_b = 7$ yr. The outer orbit is unconstrained with a period range $P_c=20-50$ yr (from 3:1 to 7:1 MMR) for a circumbinary body of substellar mass ($m_c=11-70 M_{Jup.}$). The stable solutions of the minimum and maximum reduced chi-square value were integrated for 100 Myr and confirmed a non-chaotic behavior. Their residuals in the ETV data could be explained by a spin-orbit-coupling model (Applegate-Lanza). Continuous monitoring of the system is required in order to refine and constrain the proposed solutions.

Original mechanism of transformation from soft metallic (sp2/sp3) C12 to ultra-dense and ultra-hard (sp3) semi-conducting C12: Crystal chemistry and DFT characterizations

description: An original mechanism is proposed for a pressure-induced transformation of orthorhombic C12 from ground state normal pressure (NP) sp2/sp3 allotrope to ultra-dense and ultra-hard HP sp3 form. Upon volume decrease, the trigonal C=C parallel segments characterizing glitter-like tfi topology of NP C12 change to crossing C-C segments with the loss of sp2 character accompanied by a large densification with density=3.64 g/cm3, larger than diamond, defining a novel orthorhombic HP C12 with 44T39 topology. The crystal chemistry engineering backed with quantum density functional theory DFT-based calculations let determine the ground state structures and energy derived physical properties. Furthering on that, the E(V) equations of states (EOS) let define the equilibrium NP(E0,V0) allotrope at lower energy and higher volume versus HP(E0, V0) allotrope at higher energy and smaller volume. A potential pressure induced transformation NP to HP was estimated at ~100 GPa, reachable with a diamond anvil cell DAC. Both allotropes were found cohesive and mechanically stable with low and large Vickers hardness magnitudes: HV(tfi C12) =24 GPa and HV(44T39 C12) =90 GPa; the latter being close to diamond hardness (HV ~95 GPa). Besides, both allotropes were found dynamically stable with positive phonon frequencies and a spectroscopic signature of C=C high frequency bands in tfi C12. The electronic band structures show metallic behavior for NP tfi C12 and a small band gap for HP 44T39 C12 letting assign semiconducting properties. The work is meant to open further the scope of C(sp2)and C(sp3) transformation mechanisms that are fundamental in solid state physics and chemistry.
