description: The first measurement of two-particle angular correlations for charged particles with LEP-II data is presented. The study is performed using archived hadronic $e^+e^-$ data collected by ALEPH at center-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV, above the $W^+W^-$ production threshold, which provide access to unprecedented charged-particle multiplicities and more complex color-string configurations if compared to previous measurements at LEP-I energies. An intriguing long-range near-side excess is observed in the correlation function measured with respect to the thrust axis in the highest multiplicity interval $N_{\mathrm{trk}}\geq 50$. Such a structure is not predicted by the Monte-Carlo simulation. The harmonic anisotropy coefficients $v_n$, which result from the Fourier expansion of the two-particle correlation functions, were also measured for the first time in $e^+e^-$ data, and compared to PYTHIA6 predictions and to the results obtained in proton-proton collisions. The results presented in the Letter provide novel experimental constraints on the formation of collective phenomena in point-like $e^+e^-$ collisions.

description: Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are widely used for the characterization of gases, liquids, and solids, as the spectra contain a wealth of information concerning in particular the dynamics of these systems. Atomic scale simulations can be used to predict such spectra but are often severely limited due to high computational cost or the need for strong approximations that limit application range and reliability. Here, we introduce a machine learning (ML) accelerated approach that addresses these shortcomings and provides a significant performance boost in terms of data and computational efficiency compared to earlier ML schemes. To this end, we generalize the neuroevolution potential approach to enable the prediction of rank one and two tensors to obtain the tensorial neuroevolution potential (TNEP) scheme. We apply the resulting framework to construct models for the dipole moment, polarizability, and susceptibility of molecules, liquids, and solids, and show that our approach compares favorably with several ML models from the literature with respect to accuracy and computational efficiency. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the TNEP approach to the prediction of infrared and Raman spectra of liquid water, a molecule (PTAF-), and a prototypical perovskite with strong anharmonicity (BaZrO3). The TNEP approach is implemented in the free and open source software package GPUMD, which makes this methodology readily available to the scientific community.

description: A filtered containment venting system (FCVS) is being developed using an ionic liquid (IL), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride ([P66614][Cl]), as a measure to reduce the release of radioactive organic iodine during severe accidents at nuclear power plants. To investigate the decomposition mechanism of [P66614][Cl] in alkaline solution (AS) contained in the FCVS and its temperature dependence under gamma-ray irradiation, a qualitative evaluation was conducted by varying the temperature in both irradiation and non-irradiation tests. In a comparison for 0.1 MGy absorbed dose at 433 K with the non-irradiation test condition, the concentrations of irradiated and non-irradiated [P66614][Cl] were almost the same values. It was confirmed that irradiation had a minimal impact on [P66614][Cl] decomposition. Decomposition of [P66614][Cl] primarily occurred through hydrolysis via its reaction with OH− in the AS at 433 K. At higher NaOH concentrations, hydrolysis converted [P66614] into an intermediate, phosphonium acid in the first stage. It was then converted into phosphine oxide which led to an increased amount of these hydrolysates. The decontamination factor (DF) decreased due to the formation of phosphine oxide, but it is possible to achieve a high DF by controlling the amount of phosphine oxide formed by optimizing the NaOH concentration of AS.

August 2008 und skizzierte diverse Szenarien dieser Erkrankung, die im Jahr 2007 in Deutschland sprunghaft angestiegen war: von der Einschleppung und Ausbreitung hochpathogener Hantavirusstämme, der Verbreitung der Viren durch den Wind bis hin zum potentiellen Einsatz als bioterroristische Waffe. Im folgenden Beitrag werden wir keine Risikobewertung der oben angeführten hypothetischen Szenarien diskutieren, vielmehr möchten wir die aktuelle Situation dieser Erkrankung in Hessen im Vergleich zum Bundesgebiet beleuchten. Hierzu wurden die nach Infektionsschutzgesetz (IfSG) gemeldeten Fälle von 2001 bis 2008 betrachtet (RKI, 2009), bei denen ein labordiagnostischer Nachweis mit klinisch manifester Erkrankung bzw. ein klinisch-epidemiologischer Zusammenhang vorlag.

description: Various works have utilized deep learning to address the query optimization problem in database system. They either learn to construct plans from scratch in a bottom-up manner or steer the plan generation behavior of traditional optimizer using hints. While these methods have achieved some success, they face challenges in either low training efficiency or limited plan search space. To address these challenges, we introduce FOSS, a novel framework for query optimization based on deep reinforcement learning. FOSS initiates optimization from the original plan generated by a traditional optimizer and incrementally refines suboptimal nodes of the plan through a sequence of actions. Additionally, we devise an asymmetric advantage model to evaluate the advantage between two plans. We integrate it with a traditional optimizer to form a simulated environment. Leveraging this simulated environment, FOSS can bootstrap itself to rapidly generate a large amount of high-quality simulated experiences. FOSS then learns from these experiences to improve its optimization capability. We evaluate the performance of FOSS on Join Order Benchmark, TPC-DS, and Stack Overflow. The experimental results demonstrate that FOSS outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of latency performance. Compared to PostgreSQL, FOSS achieves speedup ranging from 1.15x to 8.33x in total latency across different benchmarks.

description: Background and purpose: A low ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABI) is an established risk marker for cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population, but little is known about its prognostic value in individuals with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods: An inception cohort of 204 patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA was followed up for a mean of 2.3 years. At baseline, patients underwent ABI measurement and were assessed for risk factors, cardiovascular comorbidities, and cervical or intracranial artery stenosis. The association between low ABI and the risk of the composite outcome of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death was examined by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Results: A low ABI was found in 63 patients (31%) and was associated with older age, current smoking, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease, and cervical or intracranial stenosis. During a total of 453.0 person-years of follow-up, 37 patients experienced outcome events (8.2% per person-year), with a higher outcome rate per person-year in patients with low ABI (12.8% vs 6.3%, P=0.03). In survival analysis adjusted for age and stroke etiology, patients with a low ABI had a 2 times higher risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death than those with a normal ABI (hazard ratio=2.2; 95% CI, 1.1 to 4.5). Additional adjustment for risk factors and cardiovascular comorbidities did not attenuate the association. Conclusions: A low ABI independently predicted subsequent cardiovascular risk and mortality in patients with acute stroke or TIA. ABI measurement may help to identify high-risk patients for targeted secondary stroke prevention.

description: We study extended shift symmetries that arise for fermionic fields on anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and de Sitter (dS) space for particular values of the mass relative to the curvature scale. We classify these symmetries for general mixed-symmetry fermionic fields in arbitrary dimension and describe how fields with these symmetries arise as the decoupled longitudinal modes of massive fermions as they approach partially massless points. For the particular case of AdS$_4$, we look for non-trivial Lie superalgebras that can underly interacting theories that involve these fields. We study from this perspective the minimal such theory, the Akulov--Volkov theory on AdS$_4$, which is a non-linear theory of a spin-$1/2$ Goldstino field that describes the spontaneous breaking of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry on AdS$_4$ down to the isometries of AdS$_4$. We show how to write the nonlinear supersymmetry transformation for this theory using the fermionic ambient space formalism. We also study the Lie superalgebras of candidate multi-field examples and rule out the existence of a supersymmetric special galileon on AdS$_4$.

description: In strongly correlated systems such as heavy-fermion materials, the coherent superposition of localized and mobile spin states leads to the formation of Kondo resonant states, which on a dense, periodic array of Kondo ions develop lattice coherence. Characteristically, these quantum-coherent superposition states respond to a terahertz (THz) excitation by a delayed THz pulse on the scale of the material's Kondo energy scale and, hence, independent of the pump-light intensity. However, delayed response is also typical for superradiance in an ensemble of excited atoms. In this case, quantum coherence is established by the coupling to an external, electromagnetic mode and, hence, dependent on the pump-light intensity. In the present work, we investigate the physical origin of the delayed pulse, i.e., inherent, correlation-induced versus light-induced coherence, in the prototypical heavy-fermion compound CeCu_5.9Au_0.1. We study the delay, duration and amplitude of the THz pulse at various temperatures in dependence on the electric-field strength of the incident THz excitation, ranging from 0.3 to 15.2 kV/cm. We observe a robust delayed response at approximately 6 ps with an amplitude proportional to the amplitude of the incident THz wave. This is consistent with theoretical expectation for the Kondo-like coherence and thus provides compelling evidence for the dominance of condensed-matter versus optical coherence in the heavy-fermion compound.

description: The advancement of innovative fast nuclear reactor systems offers a dependable and sustainable solution to address the world’s growing energy needs. Breed-and-burn systems, in particular, have the potential to efficiently utilize uranium fuel, which could lead to a reduction in nuclear waste and eliminate the need for expensive fuel reprocessing facilities. In this paper, we design a core for a Rotational Fuel-shuffling Breed-and-Burn reactor with Silicide fuel and Sodium coolant (RFBB-SS). To demonstrate the core’s fuel cycle features, we then analyze the reactor burnup parameters through neutronic calculations. Then, to reveal its safety features, the control rod assembly worth and the maximum temperatures of the reactor domains were estimated. The results showed that a small start-up core for an RFBB-SS design is feasible and that the maximum temperatures of the fuel cell domains in a hot channel can be kept well below their safety limits. Hence, the reactor could achieve a subcritical state when all control rod assemblies are inserted into the core.

description: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the main contributor to disability levels, which are rising as populations age. Workplace hazard exposures are a major source of this problem, and current workplace risk management practices require substantial changes to tackle it more effectively. Most importantly, the current focus of risk management on “manual handling” tasks must broaden to encompass the whole job. This is necessary because a wide range of psychosocial hazards, most of which operate across the whole job rather than particular tasks, are significant contributors to risk. To ensure that risk-control actions are effective, a recurring risk management cycle that includes worker participation and addresses risk from both biomechanical and psychosocial hazards will be essential. Legislation that mandates workplace management of psychosocial hazards would be helpful. Amendment by regulatory bodies of MSD-related guidance and codes of practice so that they reflect current research evidence would also be helpful in communicating the need for change to workplace stakeholders.

description: Since the general relativistic approach requires exotic matter with negative energy density, constructing wormholes containing realistic matter is a crucial challenge. Therefore, extending General Relativity to non-minimal cases may be an alternative option. In this paper, we investigate wormholes which are supported by the non-minimally coupled electromagnetic fields to gravity in $Y(R)F^2$ form where $F^2$ is the Maxwell invariant and $Y(R)$ is a function of the Ricci scalar $R$. We consider both electrically and magnetically charged cases. Then we give some exact asymptotically AdS/dS and flat solutions for traversable wormhole geometries. By discussing whether these obtained geometries satisfy the energy conditions and vanishing sound speed condition, we determine stable solutions containing realistic matter for some parameter values.

description: Recently, evidence of stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) signals observed by pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations, has prompted investigations into their origins. We explore the compatibility of a proposed inflationary scenario, incorporating an intermediate null energy condition (NEC)-violating phase, with the PTA observations. The NEC violation potentially amplifies the primordial tensor power spectrum, offering a promising explanation for PTA observations. Numerical analyses, primarily focused on NANOGrav's 15-year results, reveal the model's compatibility with PTA data. Notably, the model predicts a nearly scale-invariant GW spectrum in the mHz frequency range, which sets our scenario apart from other interpretations predicting a red primordial GW spectrum on smaller scales.

description: Surveillance systems for infectious diseases build the basis for effective public health measures in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Assessing and improving the quality of such national surveillance systems is a challenge, as many different administrations and professions contribute to a complex system in which sensitive information must be exchanged in a reliable and timely fashion. We conducted a multidisciplinary quality circle on the national public health surveillance system in Germany which included clinicians, laboratory physicians, and staff from local and state health departments as well as from the Robert Koch-Institut. The recommendations resulting from the quality circle included proposals to change the federal law for the control of infectious diseases as well as practical activities such as the change of notification forms and the mailing of faxed information letters to clinicians. A number of recommendations have since been implemented, and some have resulted in measurable improvements. This demonstrates that the applied method of quality circle is a useful tool to improve the quality of national public health surveillance systems.

description: In many robotic systems, the holding state consumes power, limits operating time, and increases operating costs. Electrostatic clutches have the potential to improve robotic performance by generating holding torques with low power consumption. A key limitation of electrostatic clutches has been their low specific shear stresses which restrict generated holding torque, limiting many applications. Here we show how combining the Johnsen-Rahbek (JR) effect with the exponential tension scaling capstan effect can produce clutches with the highest specific shear stress in the literature. Our system generated 31.3 N/cm^2 sheer stress and a total holding torque of 7.1 Nm while consuming only 2.5 mW/cm^2 at 500 V. We demonstrate a theoretical model of an electrostatic adhesive capstan clutch and demonstrate how large angle (theta > 2pi) designs increase efficiency over planar or small angle (theta < pi) clutch designs. We also report the first unfilled polymeric material, polybenzimidazole (PBI), to exhibit the JR-effect.

description: Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman constructed a vertex operator algebra (VOA) associated to any even, integral, Euclidean lattice. In the language of physics, these are examples of chiral conformal field theories (CFT). In this paper, we define non-chiral vertex operator algebra and some associated notions. We then give a construction of a non-chiral VOA associated to an even, integral, Lorentzian lattice and construct their irreducible modules. We obtain the moduli space of such modular invariant non-chiral CFTs based on even, self-dual Lorentzian lattices of signature $(m,n)$ assuming the validity of a technical result about automorphisms of the lattice. We finally show that Narain conformal field theories in physics are examples of non-chiral VOA. Our formalism helps us to identify the chiral algebra of Narain CFTs in terms of a particular sublattice and give us the decomposition of its partition function into sum of characters.

Quenched dynamics and pattern formation in clean and disordered Bogoliubov-de Gennes superconductors

description: We study the quench dynamics of a two dimensional superconductor in a lattice of size up to $200\times 200$ employing the self-consistent time dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) formalism. In the clean limit, the dynamics of the order parameter for short times, characterized by a fast exponential growth and an oscillatory pattern, agrees with the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) prediction. However, unlike BCS, we observe for longer times an universal exponential decay of these time oscillations that we show explicitly to be induced by the full emergence of spatial inhomogeneities of the order parameter, even in the clean limit, characterized by the exponential growth of its variance. The addition of a weak disorder does not alter these results qualitatively. In this region, the spatial inhomogeneities rapidly develops into an intricate spatial structure consisting of ordered fragmented stripes in perpendicular directions where the order parameter is heavily suppressed especially in the central region. As the disorder strength increases, the fragmented stripes gradually turn into a square lattice of approximately circular spatial regions where the condensate is heavily suppressed. A further increase of disorder leads to the deformation and ultimate destruction of this lattice. We explore suitable settings for the experimental confirmation of these findings.

description: Investigating the existence of algebra and finding hidden symmetries in physical systems is one of the most important aspects for understanding their behavior and predicting their future. Expanding this unique method of study to cosmic structures and combining past knowledge with new data can be very interesting and lead to discovering new ways to analyze these systems. However, studying black hole symmetries always presents many complications and sometimes requires computational approximations. For example, checking the existence of Killing vectors and then calculating them is not always an easy task. It becomes much more difficult as the structure and geometry of the system become more complex. In this work, we will show that if the wave equations with a black hole background can be converted in the form of general Heun equation, based on its structure and coefficients, the algebra of the system can be easily studied, and computational and geometrical complications can be omitted. For this purpose, we selected two $AdS_5$ black holes: Reissner-Nordstrom (R-N) and Kerr, and analyzed the Klein-Gordon equation with the background of these black holes. Based on this concept, we observed that the radial part of the R-N black hole and both the radial and angular parts of the Kerr black hole could be transformed into the general form of the Heun equation. As a result, according to the algebraic structure that governs the Heun equation and its coefficients, one can easily achieve generalized $sl(2)$ algebra.

description: Large language models (LLMs) have drastically changed the possible ways to design intelligent systems, shifting the focuses from massive data acquisition and new modeling training to human alignment and strategical elicitation of the full potential of existing pre-trained models. This paradigm shift, however, is not fully realized in financial sentiment analysis (FSA), due to the discriminative nature of this task and a lack of prescriptive knowledge of how to leverage generative models in such a context. This study investigates the effectiveness of the new paradigm, i.e., using LLMs without fine-tuning for FSA. Rooted in Minsky's theory of mind and emotions, a design framework with heterogeneous LLM agents is proposed. The framework instantiates specialized agents using prior domain knowledge of the types of FSA errors and reasons on the aggregated agent discussions. Comprehensive evaluation on FSA datasets show that the framework yields better accuracies, especially when the discussions are substantial. This study contributes to the design foundations and paves new avenues for LLMs-based FSA. Implications on business and management are also discussed.
