description: Clusters of galaxies, being the largest collapsed structures in the universe, offer valuable insights into the nature of cosmic evolution. Precise calibration of the mass of clusters can be obtained by extracting their gravitational lensing signal on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations. We extend and test here the performance achieved on cluster scales by the parameter-free, maximum a posteriori (MAP) CMB lensing reconstruction method, which has been shown to be optimal in the broader context of CMB lensing mass map and power spectrum estimation. In the context of cluster lensing, the lensing signal of other large-scale structures acts as an additional source of noise. We show here that by delensing the CMB fluctuations around each and every cluster, this noise variance is reduced according to expectations. We also demonstrate that the well-known bias in the temperature quadratic estimator in this regime, sourced by the strong non-Gaussianity of the signal, is almost entirely mitigated without any scale cuts. Being statistically speaking an optimal and blind lensing mass map reconstruction, the MAP estimator is a promising tool for the calibration of the masses of clusters.

description: Synthetic nanomotors powered by chemical reactions have been designed to act as vehicles for active cargo transport, drug delivery as well as a variety of other uses. Collections of such motors, acting in consort, can self-assemble to form swarms or clusters, providing opportunities for applications on various length scales. While such collective behavior has been studied when the motors move in a chemically inactive fluid environment, when the medium in which they move is a chemical network that supports complex spatial and temporal patterns, through simulation and theoretical analysis we show that collective behavior changes. Spatial patterns in the environment can guide and control motor collective states, and interactions of the motors with their environment can give rise to distinctive spatiotemporal motor patterns. The results are illustrated by studies of the motor dynamics in systems that support Turing patterns and spiral waves. This work is relevant for potential applications that involve many active nanomotors moving in complex chemical or biological environments.

description: The origin of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux observed by the IceCube experiment is still under debate. In recent years there have been associations of neutrino events with individual blazars, which are active galaxies with relativistic jets pointing toward Earth, such as the source TXS 0506+056. From a theoretical perspective, the properties of these sources as neutrino emitters are not yet well understood. In this work we model a sample of 324 blazars detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), most of which are flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs). This amounts to 34% of all FSRQs in the latest Fermi catalog. By numerically modelling the interactions of cosmic-ray electrons and protons, we explain the emitted multi-wavelength fluxes from each source and self-consistently predict the emitted neutrino spectrum. We demonstrate that the optical and GeV gamma-ray broadband features are generally well described by electron emission. For 33% of the blazars in our sample, a description of the observed X-ray spectrum benefits from an additional component from proton interactions, in agreement with recent studies of individual IceCube candidate blazars. We conclude that blazars that are brighter in GeV gamma rays tend to have a higher neutrino production efficiency but a lower best-fit baryonic loading. The predicted neutrino luminosity shows a positive correlation with the observed GeV gamma-ray flux and with the predicted MeV gamma-ray flux. By extrapolating the results for this sample, we show that the diffuse neutrino flux from the population of gamma-ray-bright blazars may be at the level of about 20% of the IceCube flux, in agreement with current limits from stacking analyses. We discuss the implications of our results for future neutrino searches and suggest promising sources for potential detections with future experiments.

description: We show that testing Bell inequalities in $W^\pm$ pair systems by measuring their angular correlation suffers from the ambiguity in kinetical reconstruction of the di-lepton decay mode. We further propose a new set of Bell observables based on the measurement of the linear polarization of the $W$ bosons, providing a realistic observable to test Bell inequalities in $W^\pm$ pair systems for the first time.

description: Identifying unique parameters for mathematical models describing biological data can be challenging and often impossible. Parameter identifiability for partial differential equations models in cell biology is especially difficult given that many established \textit{in vivo} measurements of protein dynamics average out the spatial dimensions. Here, we are motivated by recent experiments on the binding dynamics of the RNA-binding protein PTBP3 in RNP granules of frog oocytes based on fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) measurements. FRAP is a widely-used experimental technique for probing protein dynamics in living cells, and is often modeled using simple reaction-diffusion models of the protein dynamics. We show that current methods of structural and practical parameter identifiability provide limited insights into identifiability of kinetic parameters for these PDE models and spatially-averaged FRAP data. We thus propose a pipeline for assessing parameter identifiability and for learning parameter combinations based on re-parametrization and profile likelihoods analysis. We show that this method is able to recover parameter combinations for synthetic FRAP datasets and investigate its application to real experimental data.

description: Coprecipitation of FeCl2 and FeCl3 produced magnetic iron nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs). The latter was dispersed in an acetic acid solution of chitosan (CS), and then cross-linked with glyoxal, followed by addition of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The resulting gel was neutralized with NaOH giving our novel Fe3O4NPs/CS/glyoxal/PVA hydrogel film. This film was used as an efficient and reusable adsorbent for the removal of toxic Cr(VI) from water, at a rather wide range of pH. The absorbent film was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and energy dispersive X-ray. Langmuir isotherm model suggested maximum Cr(VI) adsorption occurring at room temperature. Kinetic studies suggested a pseudo-second-order model for the adsorption. Our Fe3O4NPs/CS/glyoxal/PVA hydrogel is hoped to serve as a promising Cr(VI) adsorbent in wastewater treatment technology.

description: We introduce an auxiliary-particle field theory to treat the non-Markovian dynamics of driven-dissipative quantum systems of the Jaynes-Cummings type. It assigns an individual quantum field to each reservoir state and provides an analytic, faithful representation of the coupled system-bath dynamics. We apply the method to a driven-dissipative photon Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) coupled to a reservoir of dye molecules with electronic and vibronic excitations. The complete phase diagram of this system exhibits a hidden, non-Hermitian phase transition separating temporally oscillating from biexponentially decaying photon density correlations within the BEC. On one hand, this provides a qualitative distinction of the thermal photon BEC from a laser. On the other hand, it shows that one may continuously tune from the BEC to the lasing phase by circumventing a critical point. This auxiliary-particle method is generally applicable to the dynamics of open, non-Markovian quantum systems.

description: The study aims primarily to explore synthetic routes and chemical manipulation of perovskite materials and characterise these materials through diffraction techniques. This thesis presents the discovery of a new hybrid perovskite structural phase, derived from the prototypical MAPbI3 perovskite, which demonstrates room temperature ordering of the methyl ammonium cation and the presence of interstitial iodine sites through the addition of iodide vapour. Additionally, this thesis presents a stable tetragonal-cubic chemical phase transition in the MAPbI3 perovskite when synthesised using high temperature vacuum assisted annealing.

description: The universal approximation theorem is generalised to uniform convergence on the (noncompact) input space $\mathbb{R}^n$. All continuous functions that vanish at infinity can be uniformly approximated by neural networks with one hidden layer, for all activation functions $φ$ that are continuous, nonpolynomial, and asymptotically polynomial at $\pm\infty$. When $φ$ is moreover bounded, we exactly determine which functions can be uniformly approximated by neural networks, with the following unexpected results. Let $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^l(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ denote the vector space of functions that are uniformly approximable by neural networks with $l$ hidden layers and $n$ inputs. For all $n$ and all $l\geq2$, $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^l(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ turns out to be an algebra under the pointwise product. If the left limit of $φ$ differs from its right limit (for instance, when $φ$ is sigmoidal) the algebra $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^l(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ ($l\geq2$) is independent of $φ$ and $l$, and equals the closed span of products of sigmoids composed with one-dimensional projections. If the left limit of $φ$ equals its right limit, $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^l(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ ($l\geq1$) equals the (real part of the) commutative resolvent algebra, a C*-algebra which is used in mathematical approaches to quantum theory. In the latter case, the algebra is independent of $l\geq1$, whereas in the former case $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ is strictly bigger than $\overline{\mathcal{N}_φ^1(\mathbb{R}^n)}$.

description: We synthesized a l-arginine containing Zn2+ complex and oxalate ions. {[Zn2(l-Arg)2(ox)2]·8H2O}n (1) (l-Arg =l-arginine, ox = oxalate) crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21 with a = 8.979(2), b = 9.840(2) (Å), c = 18.509(3) (Å), β = 95.58(3) (Å), V = 1627.6(6) Å3, and Z = 2. The zinc centers are six-coordinate via one l-arginine zwitterion and two bridging oxalates. The binuclear [Zn2(l-Arg)2(ox)2] units are linked via oxalate and form 1-D “stair-like” linear chains. The complex was characterized using FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV–vis spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques, as well as DFT methods. Electronic bands above 31,000 cm−1 originate in 1,3Au (n→π*) transitions within oxalate ions. Theoretical studies were performed for the model compound {[Zn(l-Arg)(Hox)2]·4H2O} using the fragment of the crystallographic structure of 1. The interaction energy (ΔE) values for l-arginine and two oxalate ions are comparable at -145 kcal mol−1. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of the electronic structure and bonding is also discussed.

description: This thesis investigates the influence of natural climate variability phenomena such as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on global climate patterns, compound events, and agricultural systems. ENSO is a dominant driver of global climate variability and has a significant effect on global croplands, often causing simultaneous crop failures in multiple countries and affecting food security. However, there are scientific gaps in understanding the exposure of global cropland areas to co-occurring heat conditions, such as hot and dry or hot and wet conditions, during ENSO events. Additionally, the combined effects of ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on regional climate as well as their influence on the variability in production of different crops are not fully understood.
description: In the first chapter, I examine the influence of ENSO on co-occurring global heat and precipitation extremes and their exposure on global croplands. This study reveals that food-insecure regions in the tropics and subtropics experience elevated risks of co-occurring heat conditions during El Niño events, with significant cropland exposure in South Asia. To better understand the exposure of co-occurring heat conditions for crops in South Asia, the second chapter focuses on the influence of ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and their co-occurrences on the Indian monsoon and agricultural metrics such as production, harvested areas, irrigated areas, and yields of five summer monsoon crops (rice, maize, sorghum, pearl millet, and finger millet). This study demonstrates that El Niños and positive-IODs are associated with simultaneous reductions in production, harvested areas, and yields of multiple crops, particularly maize and pearl millet, while La Niña and negative-IODs are associated with simultaneous and widespread increases in all agricultural metrics, generally benefiting traditional grains.
description: Overall, this thesis provides insights into the agricultural risks associated with natural climate variability on global to subregional scales. This work identifies areas where proactive measures can enhance resilience to co-occurring heat conditions and identifies crops that are most susceptible to climate variability. Policymakers and agricultural stakeholders can use this information to guide efforts towards improving food security, such as implementing sustainable agricultural practices or investing in crop varieties that are more resilient to such climate variations. By combining analyses of both global cropland exposure and specific agricultural production metrics, including production, harvested areas, irrigated areas, and yields of five summer monsoon crops in India under hot and dry and hot and wet conditions, this research advances the scientific understanding of the influence of natural climate variability on various agricultural outcomes.

description: Neutrinos are known to play important roles in many astrophysical scenarios from the early period of the big bang to current stellar evolution being a unique messenger of the fusion reactions occurring in the center of our sun. In particular, neutrinos are crucial in determining the dynamics and the composition evolution in explosive events such as core-collapse supernovae and the merger of two neutron stars. In this paper, we review the current understanding of supernovae and binary neutron star mergers by focusing on the role of neutrinos therein. Several recent improvements on the theoretical modeling of neutrino interaction rates in nuclear matter as well as their impact on the heavy element nucleosynthesis in the supernova neutrino-driven wind are discussed, including the neutrino-nucleon opacity at the mean field level taking into account the relativistic kinematics of nucleons, the effect due to the nucleon-nucleon correlation, and the nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung. We also review the framework used to compute the neutrino-nucleus interactions and the up-to-date yield prediction for isotopes from neutrino nucleosynthesis occurring in the outer envelope of the supernova progenitor star during the explosion. Here improved predictions of energy spectra of supernova neutrinos of all flavors have had significant impact on the nucleosynthesis yields. Rapid progresses in modeling the flavor oscillations of neutrinos in these environments, including several novel mechanisms for collective neutrino oscillations and their potential impacts on various nucleosynthesis processes are summarized.

description: There is a lack of information regarding the occurrence and content of contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in edible vegetable oils and oilseeds used for oil production in China. By combining the advantages of ultrasound-assisted extraction, low temperature separation and silica SPE purification, a method for the determination of the USEPA, 16 PAHs was developed based on GC-MS to fill this gap. The method recoveries for oils and oilseeds were 84.4–113.8% and 84.3–115.3%, respectively. The LODs and LOQs for 16 PAHs were ranged from 0.06–0.17 and 0.19–0.56 μg kg–1, respectively. Based on the established method, PAH concentrations in 21 edible oils and 17 oilseeds were determined. Almost all the PAHs were found in all the samples tested, especially the light PAHs (LPAHs). Three oil samples exceeded the maximum level of 10 μg kg–1 for BaP set by China. However, five and six oil samples, respectively, exceeded the maximum limits of 2 and 10 μg kg–1 set for BaP and PAH4 by the European Union. The concentrations of PAH16 in oilseed samples were 1.5 times higher than corresponding oil samples. The relationships between PAH4 and PAH8, PAH4 and PAH16 as well as PAH8 and PAH16 indicates that PAH4 is a sufficient surrogate for the contamination level of PAHs in edible oils when compared with PAH8.

description: This article demonstrates the important role that the European statistical agency – Eurostat – plays in shaping tools for responding to banking crises. From 2009, Eurostat used its position as the interpreter of member state budget statistical rules to implement increasingly stringent rules for how financial crisis responses would affect public budgets. Rather than mere technical details, these rules affected crisis responses. Elected politicians, and especially those under bailout programmes, have strong incentives to minimise the direct budgetary effects of aiding failing financial institutions. By establishing and enforcing new rules about which crisis responses directly hit member state budgets and which did not, Eurostat created incentives to choose certain policies. The article explores this process by examining the creation of bad banks and the European Stability Mechanism. It makes an original contribution to both the study of the European banking union and the general role that statistical agencies can play in shaping crisis responses.

description: A density functional theory (DFT) study reveals that dehydrogenation of ethanol catalyzed by aliphatic PNP pincer cobalt complexes, [(PNPEt)Co(H)(OMe)] (1a) and [(PNPEt)Co(H)(CH2SiMe3)] (1b) (PNPEt = bis(2-(diethylphosphino)ethyl)amine), undergoes a self-promoted mechanism, in which an ethanol assists the formation of H2 as a bridge for proton transfer. The calculated total free energy barriers of ethanol dehydrogenation catalyzed by 1a and 1b are 23.9 and 22.2 kcal mol−1, respectively, which indicate that 1b is a promising catalyst for the dehydrogenation of ethanol under mild conditions.

description: Unmodelled searches and reconstruction is a critical aspect of gravitational wave data analysis, requiring sophisticated software tools for robust data analysis. This paper introduces PycWB, a user-friendly and modular Python-based framework developed to enhance such analyses based on the widely used unmodelled search and reconstruction algorithm Coherent Wave Burst (cWB). The main features include a transition from C++ scripts to YAML format for user-defined parameters, improved modularity, and a shift from complex class-encapsulated algorithms to compartmentalized modules. The pycWB architecture facilitates efficient dependency management, better error-checking, and the use of parallel computation for performance enhancement. Moreover, the use of Python harnesses its rich library of packages, facilitating post-production analysis and visualization. The PycWB framework is designed to improve the user experience and accelerate the development of unmodelled gravitational wave analysis.

description: In this study, we calculate the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for the light neutrino-exchange mechanism of neutrinoless double beta $0νββ$) decay of $^{124}$Sn within the framework of the interacting nuclear shell model using the effective shell model Hamiltonian GCN5082. A novel method based on a nonclosure approach is employed, wherein for the intermediate nucleus $^{124}$Sb, effects of energy of 100 states for each $J_{k}^π$=$0^{+}$ to $11^{+}$ and $2^{-}$ to $9^{-}$ ($ΔJ_{k}$=1) are explicitly included in the NMEs calculation. Other common effects such as the finite size of nucleons, higher-order effects of nucleon currents, and short-range correlations (SRC) of nucleons are also taken into account. The extracted optimal closure energy is 2.9 MeV for a total NME of $^{124}$Sn $0νββ$ decay, which is independent of different forms of SRC parametrizations. A comparison of NMEs and half-lives with some of the recent calculations is presented. Further, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of nuclear structure on the $0νββ$ decay, the dependence of NMEs on spin-parity of the intermediate states, coupled spin-parity of neutrons and protons, and the number of intermediate states, is explored. It is observed that the inclusion of the effects of excitation energies of the intermediate nucleus yields more reliable NMEs. The present findings provide valuable insights for experimental investigations of $0νββ$ decay of $^{124}$Sn in India and elsewhere.

description: Data center schedulers operate at unprecedented scales today to accommodate the growing demand for computing and storage power. The challenge that schedulers face is meeting the requirements of scheduling speeds despite the scale. To do so, most scheduler architectures use parallelism. However, these architectures consist of multiple parallel scheduling entities that can only utilize partial knowledge of the data center's state, as maintaining consistent global knowledge or state would involve considerable communication overhead. The disadvantage of scheduling without global knowledge is sub-optimal placements-tasks may be made to wait in queues even though there are resources available in zones outside the scope of the scheduling entity's state. This leads to unnecessary queuing overheads and lower resource utilization of the data center. In this paper, extend our previous work on Megha, a federated decentralized data center scheduling architecture that uses eventual consistency. The architecture utilizes both parallelism and an eventually-consistent global state in each of its scheduling entities to make fast decisions in a scalable manner. In our work, we compare Megha with 3 scheduling architectures: Sparrow, Eagle, and Pigeon, using simulation. We also evaluate Megha's prototype on a 123-node cluster and compare its performance with Pigeon's prototype using cluster traces. The results of our experiments show that Megha consistently reduces delays in job completion time when compared to other architectures.

description: The out-of-thermal-equilibrium Casimir-Polder force between nanoparticles and dielectric substrates coated with gapped graphene is considered in the framework of the Dirac model using the formalism of the polarization tensor. This is an example of physical phenomena violating the time-reversal symmetry. After presenting the main points of the used formalism, we calculate two contributions to the Casimir-Polder force acting on a nanoparticle on the source side of a fused silica glass substrate coated with gapped graphene, which is either cooler or hotter than the environment. The total nonequilibrium force magnitudes are computed as a function of separation for different values of the energy gap and compared with those from an uncoated plate and with the equilibrium force in the presence of graphene coating. According to our results, the presence of a substrate increases the magnitude of the nonequlibrium force. The force magnitude becomes larger with higher and smaller with lower temperature of the graphene-coated substrate as compared to the equilibrium force at the environmental temperature. It is shown that with increasing energy gap the magnitude of the nonequilibrium force becomes smaller, and the graphene coating makes a lesser impact on the force acting on a nanoparticle from the uncoated substrate. Possible applications of the obtained results are discussed.
