description: Localized surface plasmons in metal nanoparticles are widely used in nano-optics to confine and enhance optical fields. It has been previously shown that, if the nanoparticles are distributed periodically, an additional enhancement can be achieved by coupling the localized surface plasmons to the diffraction orders of the lattice, forming surface lattice resonances. In this work, we study an even further improvement of the near-field enhancement by placing a metal-dielectric slab waveguide beneath the lattice of the particles to excite coupled waveguide-plasmon polaritons. These excitations can extend over many periods of the lattice, making the metasurface highly nonlocal. We numerically demonstrate that the approach can provide a significant extra increase in the near-field intensity -- by a factor of 80 over that produced by a single-particle plasmon resonance and by 7 over the lattice-resonance enhancement. The described enhancement mechanism can be used to design extraordinarily efficient nonlocal optical metasurfaces for many applications, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, and solar energy harvesting.

description: We establish fundamental bounds on subwavelength resolution for the radar ranging problem, ``super radar''. Information theoretical metrics are applied to probe the resolution limits for the case of both direct electric field measurement and photon-counting measurements. To establish fundamental limits, we begin with the simplest case of range resolution of two point targets from a metrology perspective. These information-based metrics establish fundamental bounds on both the minimal discrimination distance of two targets as well as the precision on the separation of two subwavelength resolved targets. For the minimal separation distance, both the direct field method and photon counting method show that the discriminability vanishes quadratically as the target separation goes to zero, and is proportional to the variance of the second derivative of the electromagnetic field profile. Nevertheless, robust subwavelength estimation is possible. Several different band-limited function classes are introduced to optimize discrimination. We discuss the application of maximum likelihood estimation to improve the range precision with optimal performance. The general theory of multi-parameter estimation is analyzed, and a simple example of estimating both the separation and relative strength of the two point reflectors is presented.

The Relationship Between Circadian Gene Transcription and Metabolism in Hibernating Brown Bears, Ursus Arctos

description: Hibernation is a highly seasonal physiological adaptation that allows animals to survive periods of low food availability for up to eight months at a time. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) rely solely on fat reserves that were obtained during the active season (May-July) and hyperphagia (August-October) and subsequently lower their metabolic rate up to 75% and their body temperature (Tb) by 4-7°C to conserve energy during hibernation. Similarly, daily or circadian rhythms conserve energy by coordinating body processes to optimally match the environmental light:dark cycle. Brown bears express circadian rhythms in vivo and in vitro throughout the year, suggesting that they may play an important role during periods of negative energy balance. The present study attempts to link circadian rhythms, temperature, and cellular energetics in bear adipose-derived fibroblasts (ADF’s) collected during the active and hibernation seasons. We examined gene transcription and ATP production in vitro in samples collected at frequent time intervals. Time-series analysis of RNA sequencing data and timed measurements of ATP production in ADF’s of each season type confirmed that rhythmicity was present at the transcriptional level and for ATP production. Culture temperature matching that of hibernation Tb resulted in a delay of daily peak ATP production in comparison to active season temperatures. Peaks of mitochondrial gene transcription were altered as were the amplitudes of genes coding for enzymes of the electron transport chain (ETC). Additionally, we observed changes in mean expression and timing of key metabolic genes such as SIRT1 and AMPK which are tied to the circadian system. These results reveal a direct link between energy conservation in hibernation and a functioning circadian system.

description: In this paper, we present an improved analysis of the top-quark pair production via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to γ^{*}\to t\bar{t}$ near the threshold region up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) QCD corrections. Near the threshold region, the top-quark velocity $v$ tends to zero, leading to Coulomb singularity. To achieve a reasonable prediction in the threshold region, we reconstruct the analytical expression for the Coulomb-terms up to N$^{3}$LO accuracy by using the PSLQ algorithm, whose numerical values agree well with the previous N$^3$LO-level calculations. It is found that the N$^{3}$LO series still has sizable renormalization scale dependence, and to improve the precision of the series, we apply the Principle of Maximum Conformality to eliminate such scale dependence. After that, the Coulomb part is resummed into a Sommerfeld-Gamow-Sakharov factor, which finally leads to a much more reasonable behavior near the threshold region.

description: Dermestidae
The South American fauna of Dermestidae, especially Trogoderma, is largely unstudied because several old type specimens need to be located and identified for revision. Only a few species can be identified with confidence because of their distinctive features. Five larval morphospecies found in the nests of A. annumbi provided identification of different adults as follows:
Long black larvae [sp. 1] = Trogoderma sp. 1
Flat orange larvae [sp. 2] = Trogoderma sp. 2
Brown hairy larvae [sp. 3] = Trogoderma sp. 3 [black adults]
Large orange larvae [sp. 4] = Trogoderma pectinicornis Reitter, 1881
Long orange larvae [sp. 5] = Trogoderma sp. 5
These larvae feed on dead insects found inside nests. The dead insect species used as food were present as hibernants and died inside (Table 2). In addition, other insect remains were present (see section III). Adults of Trogoderma can be distinguished from other Dermestidae genera by the presence of a median ocellus, and the segment I of tarsus III being longer than segment II (Kingsolver 1987).

description: Investigating spin and charge noise in strongly correlated electron systems is a valuable way to analyze their physical properties and unlock new phases of matter. In this context, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center-based magnetometry has been proven to be a versatile sensor for various classes of magnetic materials in broad temperature and frequency ranges. Here, we use longitudinal relaxation time $T_1$ of single NV centers to investigate the spin dynamics of nanometers-thin flakes of $α$-RuCl$_3$ at room temperature. We observe a significant reduction in the $T_1$ in the presence of $α$-RuCl$_3$ in proximity to our NVs, which we attribute to paramagnetic spin noise confined in the 2D hexagonal plane. Furthermore, the $T_1$ time exhibits an almost linear increase with an applied external magnetic field. We associate this trend with the alteration of spin and charge noise in $α$-RuCl$_3$ under an external magnetic field. These findings suggest that the influence of the room-temperature spin dynamics of $α$-RuCl$_3$ on the longitudinal relaxation time of the NV center can be used to gain information on the material itself and the technique to be used on other 2D materials.

description: We use the recent statistics of dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the $James \ Webb \ Space \ Telescope$ (JWST) data at $z \sim 3.4$ to address two aspects of the feedback and evolution scenarios of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHB). We find that the JWST data provide evidence for the members of a binary black hole being 'lit' at the same time, rather than independently -- a scenario which is consistent with gas-rich mergers being responsible for concurrent AGN activity. This conclusion is supported by the recent NANOGrav Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) measurements, whose upper limits on the stochastic gravitational wave strain amplitude lie below those expected from extrapolating the dual AGN fraction. The results indicate either a 'stalling' of the binaries at the separations probed by NANOGrav, or rapid gas-driven inspirals.

description: Compressed prompts aid instruction-tuned language models (LMs) in overcoming context window limitations and reducing computational costs. Existing methods, which primarily based on training embeddings, face various challenges associated with interpretability, the fixed number of embedding tokens, reusability across different LMs, and inapplicability when interacting with black-box APIs. This study proposes prompt compression with reinforcement learning (PCRL), which is a discrete prompt compression method that addresses these issues. The proposed PCRL method utilizes a computationally efficient policy network that edits prompts directly. The training approach employed in the proposed PCRLs can be applied flexibly to various types of LMs, including both decoder-only and encoder-decoder architecture and it can be trained without gradient access to the LMs or labeled data. The proposed PCRL achieves an average reduction of 24.6% in terms of the token count across various instruction prompts while maintaining sufficient performance. In addition, we demonstrate that the learned policy can be transferred to larger LMs, and through a comprehensive analysis, we explore the token importance within the prompts. Our code is accessible at https://github.com/nenomigami/PromptCompressor.

description: Exploring and understanding the functioning of the human brain is one of the greatest challenges for current research. Neuromorphic engineering tries to address this challenge by abstracting biological mechanisms and translating them into technology. Via the abstraction process and experiments with the resulting technical system, an attempt is made to obtain information about the biological counterpart. One subsection of Neuromorphic Engineering (NE) are Spiking Neural Networks (SNN), which describe the structures of the human brain more and more closely than Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Together with their dedicated hardware, SNNs provide a good platform for developing new algorithms for information processing. In the context of these neuromorphic hardware platforms, this paper aims to develop an interface for a digital hardware platform (SPINN-3 Development Board) to enable the use of industrial or conventional sensors and thus create new approaches for experimental research. The basis for this endeavor is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which is placed as a gateway between the sensors and the neuromorphic hardware. Overall, the developed system provides a robust solution for a wide variety of investigations related to neuromorphic hardware and SNNs. Furthermore, the solution also offers suitable possibilities to monitor all processes within the system in order to obtain suitable measurements, which can be examined in search of meaningful results.

description: The breaking of SU(6) symmetry to a more general flavor SU(3) symmetry could serve as a potential explanation for the "hyperon puzzle" of neutron stars by adjusting the hyperon potentials. Specifically, when the soft relativistic mean-field (RMF) $Λ$ hyperon potentials fall within the domains of chiral SU(3) interactions NLO13 with two-body forces, the maximum mass of neutron stars is expected to be lower than 2.0 $M_\odot$, whereas it can exceed $2.0M_\odot$ if the RMF $Λ$ hyperon potentials are sufficiently stiff to be consistent with those from chiral SU(3) interactions NLO13 with three-body forces. In our investigation involving these two types of $Λ$ hyperon potentials, we explore how the hyperon yields and flows are affected in heavy-ion collisions. We find that the inclusion of hyperon potentials results in better agreement of the $Λ$ directed flows with data but without clear differentiation in the stiffness of the hyperon potentials. Similarly negligent is the disparity in the rapidity distributions of the $Λ$ collective flows predicted by the stiff and soft hyperon potentials. In contrast, the $Λ$ collective flows beyond the central rapidity region turn out to be sensitive to the stiffness of the RMF equation of state (EOS) with the preference of a soft RMF EOS to a stiff one. Notably, the transverse momentum distributions of $Λ$ hyperon production are sensitive to both the stiffness of the RMF EOS and $Λ$ hyperon potential at high transverse momenta.

Using Maximum Entropy to Extend a Consent Privacy Impact Quantification

Year: 2022

description: Due to the progress of digitization in the medical sector digital consent becomes more and more common. While digital consent itself has a huge number of benefits for the researcher it can impose a lot of questions for the individual giving it. One of those questions is what impact the consent to sharing data with a research project has on the individual’s privacy. The Consent Privacy Impact Quantification (CPIQ) provides a quantification to help the user making a consent decision based on the potential data sharing risk and his individual acceptance preferences for a research project. While this quantification provides a good first estimation it has some limitations especially in the method the re-identification risk is calculated for a member of a dataset. This paper presents a method using the Maximum Entropy principle. This principle provides a way to measure the maximum unbiased distribution using limited background knowledge, which is provided by epidemiological data. This distribution can then be used to see how much higher the re-identification risk based on a sensitive attribute is compared to the uniform distribution. In addition, the first promising results of the method will be shown based on an experimental setting.

description: The objective of this diploma thesis is to minimize the total fuel cost of the power system and smooth the daily load by taking advantage of the charging of electric vehicles. More specifically, the proposed method relies on real driver behavior data to model the charging needs of electric vehicles during the day, as well as the ability to feed energy back into the grid while they remain parked. In addition, time series of the daily load and the daily production of Renewable Energy Sources of Crete power system are used, in order to approximate the effects that the penetration scenarios will have both on the system and on the price of electricity.
Finally, four different penetration scenarios are studied according to the efficiency of adaptation to electromobility. The charging methods applied, are simple direct charging and smart charging, with the possibility of supplying energy to the grid, so that their results can be compared.

description: Artificial synaptic devices are the essential hardware component in emerging neuromorphic computing systems by mimicking biological synapses and brain functions. When made from natural organic materials, they have the potential to improve sustainability of computing by biodegradable and environmentally-friendly disposal. This thesis reports two new natural organic memristor-based artificial synaptic devices with the memristive film processed by pure honey and honey-carbon nanotube (CNT) admixture. The resistive switching characteristics of both memristors were studied and compared. Results show that the switching speed and stability in the SET and RESET process were improved in honey-CNT memristor. Synaptic functionalities such as neural facilitation, short-term plasticity and its transition to long-term plasticity for memory rehearsal, spatial summation, and shunting inhibition, etc., and for the first time, the classical conditioning behavior for associative learning by mimicking the Pavlov’s dog experiment, were demonstrated in honey-CNT memristors. All these results testify that honey and honey-CNT memristor-based artificial synaptic devices are promising for energy-efficient and eco-friendly in-memory computing systems.

description: We derive Lorentz-invariant four-fermion interactions, including Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type and superconducting type, which are widely studied in high-energy physics, from the honeycomb lattice Hamiltonian with Hubbard interaction. We investigate the phase transitions induced by these two interactions and consider the effects of the chemical potential and magnetic flux (Haldane mass term) on these phase transitions. We find that the charge-density-wave and superconductivity generated by the attractive interactions are mainly controlled by the chemical potential, while the magnetic flux delimits the domain of phase transition. Our analysis underscores the influence of the initial topological state on the phase transitions, a facet largely overlooked in prior studies. We present experimental protocols using cold atoms to verify our theoretical results.

description: Trogoderma sp. 2
Adults have an orange prothorax, suggestive of Trogoderma ruficollis Reitter, 1880 from Brazil (original description not available). The larva is light orange and flattened. It is more common under ritidomes of Eucalyptus at Campo de Mayo (Table 3). Two adults also emerged from a mud nest of Sceliphron fistularium Dahlbom (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) build around a twig on the underside of nest # 4 (7-V-05), which was also occupied by Camponotus bonariensis hibernating inside the open and empty cells. Fritz & Genise (1980) mention a larva of Dermestidae found inside nests of Sceliphron from Entre Ríos (Río Mocoretá) and feeding on dead spiders.

description: The current human-driven climate crisis poses a significant threat to the availability and reliability of existing water resources, especially in agriculture for irrigation. However, there are significant gaps in the literature to inform farmers’ irrigation management strategies in high-value annual crops such as vegetable seed crops. Additionally, alternative research strategies such as farmer participatory research (FPR) may prove to be important complementary tools for helping farmers adapt to climate change, but also lack literature in farmer irrigation scheduling and management. This thesis attempts to address these knowledge gaps by investigating different irrigation tools and thresholds in spinach seed production in a maritime Mediterranean climate and the potential of FPR for helping farmers of high-value annual crops adapt to climate change. It concludes that 1) moderate irrigation deficits in spinach seed production may maximize seed yield efficiency while minimizing the impacts of fungal diseases, and 2) that FPR can be a useful tool for engaging farmers in research that is highly relevant to their individual interests but less widely applicable than more traditional researcher-led research.

description: Background: Heart failure (HF) is a multi-morbid chronic condition, which adversely affects the quality of life of the affected individual. Engaging the patient and their caregivers in self-care is known to reduce mortality, rehospitalisation and improve quality of life among HF patients. The PACT-HF trial will answer whether clinical benefits in terms of mortality and hospitalisation outcomes can be demonstrated in HF patients by using a pragmatic design to explore the specific effects of physical activity, and behavioural therapy in HF patients in India. Methods: This is a 120, 2 × 2 factorial, randomized, open-label trial, which aims to see if rehabilitation strategies of structured physical activity training and behavioural therapy for depression and self-management reduce the risk of repeat hospitalisation and deaths in HF patients in India. Patients will be randomised to (1) physical activity +usual care (2) behaviour therapy + usual care, (3) physical activity + behaviour therapy+ usual care, and (4) usual care at 1:1:1:1 ratio. Time to mortality will be the primary outcome. Cumulative hospital admission rate will be considered as the main secondary outcome. Additional secondary outcome variables will include days alive and out of hospital, quality of life, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire score, depression score, six minutes walking distance, handgrip strength, and adherence to medicines and lifestyle. Discussion: PACT-HF is designed to provide reliable evidence about the balance of benefits and risks conferred by physical activity based and behavioural therapy based cardiac rehabilitation in heart failure patients, irrespective of their initial disease severity. The study will provide unbiased evidence on the effectiveness of different components of the structured cardiac rehabilitation programme in reducing mortality and improving quality of life.

description: Stopping power is the rate at which a material absorbs the kinetic energy of a charged particle passing through it -- one of many properties needed over a wide range of thermodynamic conditions in modeling inertial fusion implosions. First-principles stopping calculations are classically challenging because they involve the dynamics of large electronic systems far from equilibrium, with accuracies that are particularly difficult to constrain and assess in the warm-dense conditions preceding ignition. Here, we describe a protocol for using a fault-tolerant quantum computer to calculate stopping power from a first-quantized representation of the electrons and projectile. Our approach builds upon the electronic structure block encodings of Su et al. [PRX Quantum 2, 040332 2021], adapting and optimizing those algorithms to estimate observables of interest from the non-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics of multiple particle species at finite temperature. Ultimately, we report logical qubit requirements and leading-order Toffoli costs for computing the stopping power of various projectile/target combinations relevant to interpreting and designing inertial fusion experiments. We estimate that scientifically interesting and classically intractable stopping power calculations can be quantum simulated with roughly the same number of logical qubits and about one hundred times more Toffoli gates than is required for state-of-the-art quantum simulations of industrially relevant molecules such as FeMoCo or P450.
