description: Recent work with laser-cooled molecules in attractive optical traps has shown that the differential AC Stark shifts arising from the trap light itself can become problematic, limiting collisional shielding efficiencies, rotational coherence times, and laser-cooling temperatures. In this work, we explore trapping and laser-cooling of CaF molecules in a ring-shaped repulsive optical trap. The observed dependences of loss rates on temperature and barrier height show characteristic behavior of repulsive traps and indicate strongly suppressed average AC Stark shifts. Within the trap, we find that $Λ$-enhanced gray molasses cooling is effective, producing similar minimum temperatures as those obtained in free space. By combining in-trap laser cooling with dynamical reshaping of the trap, we also present a method that allows highly efficient and rapid transfer from molecular magneto-optical traps into conventional attractive optical traps, which has been an outstanding challenge for experiments to date. Notably, our method could allow nearly lossless transfer over millisecond timescales.

description: ABSTRACT
Background: With the evolution of medical education, innovative methods such as virtual reality (VR) and 3D-printed mannequins are being explored to enhance learning and accurately simulate high-stress, real-life medical scenarios. This study evaluated the efficacy of these simulation models in training for pericardiocentesis, focusing on their ability to replicate stress levels encountered in actual medical procedures. Methods: This study involved 108 final-year medical students from the School of Medicine in Madrid who were randomized into two groups to train with both a 3D-printed mannequin and a VR model. Stress responses were assessed using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of biosignal plux system data. A secondary analysis also explored correlations between stress responses and demographics, lifestyle, medication use, and academic perceived stress. Results: The findings suggest that VR and traditional mannequin-based methods are equally effective in simulating the stress levels of real-life medical procedures. Significant interactions between stress markers and demographic factors underscore the complexity of stress responses in medical training, highlighting the need for personalized educational strategies. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of VR as an alternative to traditional training methods for simulating both the technical and emotional demands of medical procedures such as pericardiocentesis. The integration of VR into medical education can potentially improve learning outcomes and accessibility, especially in resource-constrained settings.

description: Observational signatures of the circumstellar material (CSM) around Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide a unique perspective on their progenitor systems. The pre-supernova evolution of the SN progenitors may naturally eject CSM in most of the popular scenarios of SN Ia explosions. In this study, we investigate the influence of dust scattering on the light curves and polarizations of SNe Ia. A Monte Carlo method is constructed to numerically solve the process of radiative transfer through the CSM. Three types of geometric distributions of the CSM are considered: spherical shell, axisymmetric disk, and axisymmetric shell. We show that both the distance of the dust from the SN and the geometric distribution of the dust affect the light curve and color evolutions of SN. We found that the geometric location of the hypothetical circumstellar dust may not be reliably constrained based on photometric data alone, even for the best observed cases such as SN 2006X and SN 2014J, due to the degeneracy of CSM parameters. Our model results show that a time sequence of broadband polarimetry with appropriate time coverage from a month to about one year after explosion can provide unambiguous limits on the presence of circumstellar dust around SNe Ia.

description: We present a networked co-simulation framework for multi-robot systems applications. We require a simulation framework that captures both physical interactions and communications aspects to effectively design such complex systems. This is necessary to co-design the multi-robots' autonomy logic and the communication protocols. The proposed framework extends existing tools to simulate the robot's autonomy and network-related aspects. We have used Gazebo with ROS/ROS2 to develop the autonomy logic for robots and mininet-WiFi as the network simulator to capture the cyber-physical systems properties of the multi-robot system. This framework addresses the need to seamlessly integrate the two simulation environments by synchronizing mobility and time, allowing for easy migration of the algorithms to real platforms. The framework supports container-based virtualization and extends a generic robotic framework by decoupling the data plane and control plane.

description: Until a few years ago, the elderly were considered as fragile, lonely, marginalized citizens, unable to live independently and had generally been "invisible" in studies and planning instruments that involved the governance of urban transformations. In recent years, a major focus of attention has been paid to the matter in urban development policies too (OECD, 2015), which should be oriented towards the construction of an urban model aimed at reducing the social exclusion of the elderly. For this purpose, this contribution describes a first research segment developed by the University of Naples operating unit concerning the definition of a set of variables to measure accessibility of the elderly segment of the population to the neighbourhood scale. In particular, the paper pursues a twofold objective: cognitive and methodological. Firstly, to outline the cognitive framework on the issue of urban accessibility for the elderly through a review of the main studies on this topic, the plans of sustainable urban mobility, the service plans and the governance tools for urban transformation, as well as of the most recent European best practices. The cognitive framework shall allow identifying the limits to be overcome in the reorganisation of the city. Secondly, this paper is intended to identify the set of significant variables taken from the cognitive framework and quantify its specific weight. The paper also proposes a first parameterization of the variables in the GIS environment, which refer to quantitative geo-localized data rather than collected from sample surveys, such as interviews, widely used in literature.

description: We explore the possibility that the dark matter relic density is not produced by thermal mechanism directly, but by the decay of other heavier dark sector particles which on the other hand can be produced by the thermal freeze-out mechanism. Using a concrete model with a light dark matter from dark sector decay, we study the collider signature of the dark sector particles in association with Higgs production processes. We find that the future lepton colliders can be a better place to probe the signature of this kind of light dark matter model than the hadron collider such as LHC. Meanwhile, it is found that a Higgs factory with center of mass energy 250 GeV has a better potential to resolve the signature of this kind of light dark matter model than the Higgs factory with center of mass energy 350 GeV.

description: European Union’s inhabitants are quickly ageing. Therefore, ageing is an emerging issue, causing different kinds of problems. Among them, mobility is a remarkably complicated challenge, as it encompasses much more inter-related problems that have profound physical, mental and social consequences on well-being. Urban planning researchers indicate that a low level of mobility is generally linked to a low quality of life especially amongst elderly.

Mobility has an important positive effect on old people’s independence and involvement in socio-economic life resulting in profits for themselves as well as the whole of society. Besides, mobility facilitates senior access to medical and health, educational, cultural, recreational services and other local welfare services; particularly to establish and foster social relations, and help them to combat social exclusion. Overall, everyday mobility is necessary for their social well-being, and physical and mental health.

This paper aimed to review and critically analyze the literature on the contribution between key characteristics of the neighbourhood that improve the outdoor mobility of old adults, quality of life and well-being in a number of countries all around the worlds. It also aimed to identify gaps in the level of scientific knowledge about this subject.

description: The world is facing a series of changes that will modify the way we envisage urban transport planning. The demographic switch coupling higher life expectancy and lower fertility rates is occurring all around the world. While ageing is indeed a triumph of development and increased longevity is perceived as one of humanity’s greatest achievements, the phenomenon and its transition in society need to be managed.
The rapid increase of the elderly group means profound changes which require solutions at various levels. The World Health Organization has established a path towards Active ageing, and it is within this strategy that this paper aims at analyzing the role of mobility as an enabler of active ageing. While mobility in general is very important, it was decided to concentrate on urban mobility, as cities are, by definition, the place where people benefit from urbanization economies and where transport plans are put in place. An increase of age, health and economic conditions determine the possibility to enjoy urbanization economics more and for longer time. Yet such fruition is determined by the accessibility to such places or services. It is for this reason, among others, that urban mobility planning is such a relevant tool that could lead towards a switch of paradigm towards more friendly and inclusive (for seniors and not only) urban environments.

description: Bennett's fracture is the most common fracture occurring t the base of the intra-articular thumb but only occurs in less than 1% of hand fractures. It is typically caused by a combination of specific trauma mechanisms, deforming forces and ligamentous injuries.
This systematic review will aim to compare functional outcomes in patients with Bennett fracture who received surgical treatment with open reduction and internal screw fixation, closed reduction and percutaneous fixation, or arthroscopic reduction and screw fixation.
A systematic search of the literature will be conducted to identify studies focusing on Bennett fractures in adults without additional lesions. Searches will be performed in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, Scielo, Lilacs, Oneme, and Epistemonikos without any date restrictions. The primary outcome variables will include measures related to functionality and secondary outcomes encompassing pain, stiffness, and osteoarthritis.

description: A large body of literature already explores how mobility is associate with the well-being and quality of life of the elderly population. However, many studies so far have been widely discipline specific. This paper, thus, aims to critically review relevant mobility- and accessibility-related studies that, from varied disciplines, focus on the well-being of the older adults. To do so, the Capabilities Approach is assumed as a theoretical perspective able to convey how individual well-being is differently shaped and experienced by each person. More specifically, this study intends to consider how to define profiles of ageing mobilities, discussing a methodology for detecting different elderly populations and neighbourhoods. The relationship between urban mobility and quality of life in fact differs according to the examined populations and settings, involving features that are peculiar of the elderly. The possibility to define profiles contributes to develop different “narratives of ageing” that, according to the subjects and their territorial context, allows a more precise understanding of how varied forms of mobility contribute to a differently defined well-being and quality of life. The expected outcomes of this study are twofold: (i) to provide a theoretical framework with the complexity of factors in mobility, in order to be applied in future empirical research studies, in other words as the basis for further analyses with quantitative and qualitative methods.; (ii) a methodology for defining profiles of aging mobilities, considering elements that may be differently inflected according to the setting taken into exam.

description: The prediction of the weather at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales is dependent on both initial and boundary conditions. An open question is how to best initialize a relatively small-sized ensemble of numerical model integrations to produce reliable forecasts at these timescales. Reliability in this case means that the statistical properties of the ensemble forecast are consistent with the actual uncertainties about the future state of the geophysical system under investigation. In the present work, a method is introduced to construct initial conditions that produce reliable ensemble forecasts by projecting onto the eigenfunctions of the Koopman or the Perron-Frobenius operators, which describe the time-evolution of observables and probability distributions of the system dynamics, respectively. These eigenfunctions can be approximated from data by using the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) algorithm. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated in the framework of a low-order ocean-atmosphere model exhibiting multiple characteristic timescales, and is compared to other ensemble initialization methods based on the Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) of the model trajectory and on the backward and covariant Lyapunov vectors of the model dynamics. Projecting initial conditions onto a subset of the Koopman or Perron-Frobenius eigenfunctions that are characterized by time scales with fast-decaying oscillations is found to produce highly reliable forecasts at all lead times investigated, ranging from one week to two months. Reliable forecasts are also obtained with the adjoint covariant Lyapunov vectors, which are the eigenfunctions of the Koopman operator in the tangent space. The advantages of these different methods are discussed.

description: A class of strictly localized states which can be made arbitrarily close to single photons is constructed, and expressions for central properties are provided. It is demonstrated that single photon states can be well approximated by these states down to localization scales on the order of a few pulse cycles. The results readily generalize to states close to $n$-photons. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the fidelity between a given single photon and any state strictly localized to a given volume. These results constitute the limit of photon localization, complementary to the weak-localization limit (I. Bialynicki-Birula, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 5247 (1998)).

description: This study deals with religious tourism as a particular social and cultural activity attaining high levels of interest also in the scienti c context. Within this form of tourism, the segment of “senior travelers” plays an important role considering the increase of the popula- tion aging phenomenon. Although there is not yet a unique and shared de nition of senior tourism, it is possible to outline some char- acteristics to de ne this speci c form of use of the urban system. The case study of Pietrelcina (BN) in Campania has been considered as a meaningful example of international religious pole connected to San Pio cult. In this regard, the study is aimed to explore the possibilities of de ning territorial strategies for the promotion of territorial resources. The main objective of this study is to overcome the sectorial approach, based on the “mono-pole supply” (the organization of tourist ows “exclusively oriented”, centralized in the most popular destination), suggesting a systemic-territorial supply recon guration aimed at improving the accessibility to older slow tourism. The study, thus, proposes a recon guration of the territorial organization in order to pre gure a systemic territorial-supply aimed at improving particularly accessibility referred to older slow tourism. Slow tourism as innovative form of territorial use could improve the relationship between tourism and territory that was the original sense of pilgrimage.

These N coherent states are associated with N-order roots of the same complex number. We study and compare properties of NHICSSs and NHCSSs, including average photon number, Mandel Q parameter, quadrature squeezing, Fock matrix elements and Wigner function. Among all these states, only 2HCSS (i.e., Schrodinger cat state) presents quadrature-squeezing effect. Our theoretical results can be used as a reference for researchers in this field.

description: The ageing population is a phenomenon whose relevance grows over time and quickly spreads in different territorial contexts. Therefore, cities will have to take into account the ageing population and define policies and strategies to improve the quality of life. For this purpose is particularly remarkable the transport sector because it allows to use the urban services and to promote an active ageing. Within the field of urban studies aimed at facing the new challenges related to social developments, including that of the ageing population, the Smart City paradigm has been spread to make cities safe, accessible and sustainable. The strategies to improve accessibility and safety of the mobility system using ICTs can have positive impacts in terms of ensuring elderly people the ability to lead an autonomous life and participate actively in society according to one’s individual needs. In this framework, the aim of the paper is to analyse how Italian cities are declining the topic of Smart Mobility, with particular attention to the use of new technologies to improve the elderly trips. The paper attempt to show that in the sample of Italian cities analysed the ICTs applied to the transport sector do not fully realize their potential; this is not due to the limited fields of application, but rather to the lack of a “system-orientated” perspective when applying innovations. The adoption of a smart approach cannot be limited to a market-induced uncritical introduction of devices or sensors, instead, it will be necessary to refine the tools for understanding the needs of specific categories of users, such as the elderly, to define integrated strategies able to operate on many aspects simultaneously.

description: Earthquake phase association algorithms aggregate picked seismic phases from a network of seismometers into individual earthquakes and play an important role in earthquake monitoring. Dense seismic networks and improved phase picking methods produce massive earthquake phase data sets, particularly for earthquake swarms and aftershocks occurring closely in time and space, making phase association a challenging problem. We present a new association method, the Gaussian Mixture Model Association (GaMMA), that combines the Gaussian mixture model for phase measurements (both time and amplitude), with earthquake location, origin time, and magnitude estimation. We treat earthquake phase association as an unsupervised clustering problem in a probabilistic framework, where each earthquake corresponds to a cluster of P and S phases with hyperbolic moveout of arrival times and a decay of amplitude with distance. We use a multivariate Gaussian distribution to model the collection of phase picks for an event, the mean of which is given by the predicted arrival time and amplitude from the causative event. We carry out the pick assignment for each earthquake and determine earthquake parameters (i.e., earthquake location, origin time, and magnitude) under the maximum likelihood criterion using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. The GaMMA method does not require the typical association steps of other algorithms, such as grid-search or supervised training. The results on both synthetic test and the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence show that GaMMA effectively associates phases from a temporally and spatially dense earthquake sequence while producing useful estimates of earthquake location and magnitude.

description: As first noted by Robert Wagoner in the 1970s, if a scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the Ricci scalar and propagates at subluminal speeds, then there exists the possibility of scalar $\check{\hbox{C}}$erenkov radiation from a moving particle. The mere observation of high-energy cosmic rays could in principle rule out the existence of such scalar fields since any particle moving faster than scalar perturbations would lose energy in the form of scalar waves until it moves slower than those. We compute in detail the energy loss to scalar waves and find that it scales with the square of the ultra-violet (UV) cutoff frequency of the effective field theory (EFT) of gravity. For dark-energy-motivated EFTs, the UV cutoff can be low, in which case that energy loss could always be negligible. In contrast, if viewed as a covariant theory valid at all scales or as an EFT valid at higher energies, perhaps even all the way up to the Planck scale, as may be the case if motivated by quantum-gravity perspectives, then the energy loss to scalar waves may diverge or become dramatically large. In this case, high-energy cosmic rays of extragalactic origin stringently constrain any conformally coupled scalar fields with non-canonical kinetic terms, although a minimum scalar phase velocity is required to trust the EFT.

description: Scalar triplet extensions of the Standard Model provide an interesting playground for the explanation of neutrino mass suppression through the type-II seesaw mechanism. Propelled by the possible connections with leptonic CP violation, we explore under which conditions spontaneous CP violation can arise in models with extra scalar triplets. The minimal model satisfying such conditions requires adding two such triplets to the SM field content. For this model, the scalar mass spectrum in both the CP-conserving and spontaneous CP-violating scenarios is studied. In the former case, a decoupling limit for the new scalars can be achieved, while this is not the case when CP is spontaneously broken. In particular, we show that the existence of two light neutral scalars with masses below a few tenths of GeVs is unavoidable in the CP-violating case. Using matrix theory theorems, we derive upper bounds for the masses of those light scalars and briefly examine whether they can still be experimentally viable. Other interesting features of the scalar mass spectrum are discussed as, e.g., the existence of relations among the charged and neutral scalar masses.

description: The heat transfer behavior of convection-driven dynamos in a rotating plane layer between two parallel plates, heated from below and cooled from the top, is investigated. At a fixed rotation rate (Ekman Number, $E=10^{-6}$) and fluid properties (thermal and magnetic Prandtl numbers, $Pr=Pr_m=1$), both dynamo convection (DC) and non-magnetic rotating convection (RC) simulations are performed to demarcate the effect of magnetic field on heat transport at different thermal forcings (Rayleigh Number, $Ra=3.83\times10^{9}-3.83\times10^{10}$). In this range, our turbulence resolving simulations demonstrate the existence of an optimum thermal forcing, at which heat transfer between the plates in DC exhibits maximum enhancement, as compared to the heat transport in the RC simulations. Unlike any global force balance reported in the literature, the present simulations reveal an increase in the Lorentz force in the \textit{thermal boundary layer}, due to stretching of magnetic field line by the vortices near the walls with no-slip boundary condition. This increase in Lorentz force mitigates turbulence suppression owing to the Coriolis force, resulting in enhanced turbulence and heat transfer

Detecting Central Nodes from Low-rank Excited Graph Signals via Structured Factor Analysis

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)

description: This paper treats a blind detection problem to identify the central nodes in a graph from filtered graph signals. Unlike prior works which impose strong restrictions on the data model, we only require the underlying graph filter to satisfy a low pass property with a generic low-rank excitation model. We treat two cases depending on the low pass graph filter's strength. When the graph filter is strong low pass, i.e., it has a frequency response that drops sharply at the high frequencies, we show that the principal component analysis (PCA) method detects central nodes with high accuracy. For general low pass graph filter, we show that the graph signals can be described by a structured factor model featuring the product between a low-rank plus sparse factor and an unstructured factor. We propose a two-stage decomposition algorithm to learn the structured factor model via a judicious combination of the non-negative matrix factorization and robust PCA algorithms. We analyze the identifiability conditions for the model which lead to accurate central nodes detection. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real data are provided to support our findings. We demonstrate significant performance gains over prior works.

description: This paper presents a method for mapping and measuring accessibility to subway stations for elderly. The methodology measures pedestrian accessibility by means of isochrones to specific urban functions, for quantifying the total amount of elderly people living within each isochrones and for evaluating the presence of services around each station. In particular, a real application on Milan city is carried out with the most updated available data.Main  aim is the identification of neighborhoods that present more accessibility problems. The number of inhabitants, and in particular of aged persons living in less accessible areas are therefore quantified, such as the number of activities located within walking distance are counted. The methodology can be applied to different contexts and can be furtherly improved by integrating other information in the model. Accessibility analysis has an increasing role in policy making and evaluation for policies targeted towards social inclusion. because poor pedestrian infrastructures can hinder the potential movement of an increasing amount of urban population.

description: Correcting errors due to noise in quantum circuits run on current and near-term quantum hardware is essential for any convincing demonstration of quantum advantage. Indeed, in many cases it has been shown that noise renders quantum circuits efficiently classically simulable, thereby destroying any quantum advantage potentially offered by an ideal (noiseless) implementation of these circuits. Although the technique of quantum error correction (QEC) allows to correct these errors very accurately, QEC usually requires a large overhead of physical qubits which is not reachable with currently available quantum hardware. This has been the motivation behind the field of quantum error mitigation, which aims at developing techniques to correct an important part of the errors in quantum circuits, while also being compatible with current and near-term quantum hardware. In this work, we present a technique for quantum error mitigation which is based on a technique from quantum verification, the so-called accreditation protocol, together with post-selection. Our technique allows for correcting the expectation value of an observable $O$, which is the output of multiple runs of noisy quantum circuits, where the noise in these circuits is at the level of preparations, gates, and measurements. We discuss the sample complexity of our procedure and provide rigorous guarantees of errors being mitigated under some realistic assumptions on the noise. Our technique also allows for time dependant behaviours, as we allow for the output states to be different between different runs of the accreditation protocol. We validate our findings by running our technique on currently available quantum hardware.
