description: In this thesis, we present results from the investigation of two problems, one related to the phase transition of long-range Ising models and the other one associated with the characterization of equilibrium states in quantum spin systems. Due to the long-range nature of the interactions, $J|x-y|^{-α}$, estimates using contours usually found in the literature have restrictions on the range of interactions ($α>d+1$ in Ginibre, Grossmann, and Ruelle in 1966 and Park in 1988 for discrete spin systems and possibly non-symmetric situations but with the restrictions $α>3d+1 $). We were able to extend the phase transition argument for long-range Ising-type models to the entire region $α>d$ using the multi-scale arguments presented in the articles by Fröhlich and Spencer. In quantum statistical mechanics, the KMS condition is used as a characterization for the equilibrium states of the system. Widely studied today, it is known to be equivalent to other equilibrium notions such as the variational principle. We present another possible characterization of equilibrium states in quantum spin systems by generalizing the DLR equations to the quantum context using Poisson point process representations. We also discuss the relationship of these quantum DLR equations with the KMS states of a subclass of interactions that contains the Ising model with a transverse field.

Investigation of Pulse Shape Discrimination Using a Convolutional Autoencoder for the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions
Creators: name: Marshall, Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) is a short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that aims to explore an observed deficit in the measured neutrino flux of calibration sources from the radiochemical solar neutrino experiments, SAGE and GALLEX. To maximize sensitivity of the experiment, effective pulse shape discrimination (PSD) of experimental signals is crucial. The viability of a convolutional autoencoder used to achieve good PSD among BEST waveforms is explored through testing on a 2014 data set from the precursor to BEST, the Russian American Gallium Experiment (SAGE). Waveforms from this data set were condensed to 5 parameter descriptions through this neural network and used to discriminate background events from candidate Ge-71 decay events. For the 10.4 keV  K-peak of Ge-71, there was 91.7% agreement (plus 13.5% additional event acceptance) between BESTnet's list and events found in the official list. For the 1.2 keV  L-peak of Ge-71, there was 35.4% agreement (plus 28.0% additional event acceptance) between BESTnet's list and events found in the official list. These results suggest reasonable performance of the network above 5 keV, but improvements are needed for performance at low energies below this threshold.

description: We present the notion of higher Kirillov brackets on the sections of an even line bundle over a supermanifold. When the line bundle is trivial we shall speak of higher Jacobi brackets. These brackets are understood furnishing the module of sections with an $L_{\infty}$-algebra, which we refer to as a homotopy Kirillov algebra. We are then to higher Kirillov algebroids as higher generalisations of Jacobi algebroids. Furthermore, we show how to associate a higher Kirillov algebroid and a homotopy BV-algebra with every higher Kirillov manifold. In short, we construct homotopy versions of some of the well-known theorems related to Kirillov's local Lie algebras.

description: Krylov complexity is an attractive measure for the rate at which quantum operators spread in the space of all possible operators under dynamical evolution. One expects that its late-time plateau would distinguish between integrable and chaotic dynamics, but its ability to do so depends precariously on the choice of the initial seed. We propose to apply such considerations not to a single operator, but simultaneously to a collection of initial seeds in the manner of the block-Lanczos algorithm. We furthermore suggest that this collection should comprise all simple (few-body) operators in the theory, which echoes the applications of Nielsen complexity to dynamical evolution. The resulting construction, unlike the conventional Krylov complexity, reliably distinguishes integrable and chaotic Hamiltonians without any need for fine-tuning.

description: One of the future goals of the LHC is to precisely measure the properties of Higgs boson. The associated production of Higgs boson and the top quark pair is a promising process to investigate the related Yukawa interaction and the properties of Higgs. Compared with the pure scalar sector in the Standard Model, the Higgs sector contains both scalar and pseudoscalar in many new physics models, which makes the $t\bar t H$ interaction more complex and provides a variety of phenomena. To investigate the $t\bar t H$ interaction and the properties of Higgs, we study the top quark spin correlation observables at the LHC.

description: After the passage of the US National Quantum Initiative Act in December 2018, the National Science Foundation and the Office of Science and Technology Policy assembled an interagency working group and conducted a workshop titled "Key Concepts for Future Quantum Information Science Learners" that focused on identifying core concepts for future curricular and educator activities to help pre-college students engage with quantum information science (QIS). Helping pre-college students learn these key concepts in QIS is an effective approach to introducing them to the Second Quantum Revolution and inspiring them to become future contributors in the growing field of quantum information science and technology as leaders in areas related to quantum computing, communication and sensing. This paper is a call to pre-college educators to contemplate including QIS concepts into their existing courses at appropriate levels and get involved in the development of curricular materials suitable for their students. Also, research shows that compare and contrast activities can provide an effective approach to helping students learn. Therefore, we illustrate a pedagogical approach that contrasts the classical and quantum concepts so that educators could adapt them for their students in their lesson plans to help them learn the differences between key concepts in quantum and classical contexts.

We implement this in an array of three superconducting transmon qubits coupled to a single cavity mode; the transmons represent lattice sites and their excitation quanta embody bosonic particles. Our cooling protocol preserves particle number--realizing a canonical ensemble-- and also affords the efficient preparation of dark states which, due to symmetry, cannot be prepared via coherent drives on the cavity. Furthermore, by applying continuous microwave radiation, we also realize autonomous feedback to indefinitely stabilize particular eigenstates of the array.

description: Concentrated colloidal suspensions of nanorods often exhibit liquid-crystalline (LC) behavior. The transition to a nematic LC phase, with long-range orientational order of the particles, is usually well captured by Onsager's theory for hard rods, at least qualitatively. The theory shows how the volume fraction at the transition decreases with increasing aspect ratio of the rods. It also explains that the long-range electrostatic repulsive interaction occurring between rods stabilized by their surface charge can significantly increase their effective diameter, resulting in a decrease of the volume fraction at the transition, as compared to sterically stabilized rods. Here, we report on a system of ligand-stabilized LaPO4 nanorods, of aspect ratio around 11, dispersed in apolar medium exhibiting the counter-intuitive observation that the onset of nematic self-assembly occurs at an extremely low volume fraction of around 0.25%, which is lower than observed (around 3%) with the same particles when charge-stabilized in polar solvent. Furthermore, the nanorod volume fraction at the transition increases with increasing concentration of ligands, in a similar way as in polar media where increasing the ionic strength leads to surface-charge screening. This peculiar system was investigated by dynamic light scattering, Fourier-Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy, zetametry, electron microscopy, polarized-light microscopy, photoluminescence measurements, and X-ray scattering. Based on these experimental data, we formulate several tentative scenarios that might explain this unexpected phase behavior. However, at this stage, its full understanding remains a pending theoretical challenge. Nevertheless, this study shows that dispersing anisotropic nanoparticles in an apolar solvent may sometimes lead to spontaneous ordering events that defy our intuitive ideas about colloidal systems.

description: Our present understanding of high-mass star formation still remains very schematic. In particular, it is not yet clear how much of the difference between low-mass and high-mass star formation occurs during the earliest star formation phases. The chemical characteristics of massive cold clumps, and the comparison with those of their low-mass counterparts, could provide crucial clues about the exact role that chemistry plays in differentiating the early phases of low-mass and high-mass star formation. Water, in particular, is a unique probe of physical and chemical conditions in star-forming regions. Using the HIFI instrument of Herschel we have observed the ortho-NH3 (1_0-0_0) (572GHz), ortho-H2O (1_10-1_01) (557GHz) and N2H+ (6-5) (559GHz) lines toward a sample of high-mass starless and proto-stellar clumps selected from the "Herschel} Infrared Galactic Plane Survey" (Hi-GAL). We compare our results to previous studies of low-mass and high-mass proto-stellar objects. At least one of the three molecular lines was detected in 4 (out of 35) and 7 (out of 17) objects in the l=59deg and l=30deg galactic regions, respectively. All detected sources are proto-stellar. The water spectra are complex and consist of several kinematic components, identified through a Gaussian decomposition, and in a few sources inverse and regular P-Cygni profiles have been detected. All water line profiles of the l=59deg region are dominated by a broad Gaussian emission feature, indicating that the bulk of the water emission arises in outflows. No such broad emission is detected toward the l=30deg objects. The ammonia line in some cases also shows line wings and an inverse P-Cygni profile, thus confirming that NH3 rotational transitions can be used to probe the dynamics of high-mass star forming regions. Both bolometric and water line luminosity increase with the continuum temperature.

Nucleon-decay-like signatures of Hylogenesis

description: We consider nucleon-decay-like signatures of the hylogenesis, a variant of the antibaryonic dark matter model. For the interaction between visible and dark matter sectors through the neutron portal, we calculate the rates of dark matter scatterings off neutron which mimic neutron-decay processes $n\to νγ$ and $n\to νe^+ e^-$ with richer kinematics. We obtain bounds on the model parameters from nonobservation of the neutron decays by applying the kinematical cuts adopted in the experimental analyses. The bounds are generally (much) weaker than those coming from the recently performed study of events with a single jet of high transverse momentum and missing energy observed at the LHC. Then we suggest several new nucleon-decay like processes with two mesons in the final state and estimate (accounting for the LHC constraints) the lower limits on the nucleon lifetime with respect to these channels. The obtained values appear to be promising for probing the antibaryonic dark matter at future underground experiments like HyperK and DUNE.

Clustering of Spell Variations for Proper Nouns Transliterated from the other languages

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: One of the prominent problems with processing and operating on text data is the non uniformity of it. Due to the change in the dialects and languages, the caliber of translation is low. This creates a unique problem while using NLP in text data; which is the spell variation arising from the inconsistent translations and transliterations. This problem can also be further aggravated by the human error arising from the various ways to write a Proper Noun from an Indian language into its English equivalent. Translating proper nouns originating from Indian languages can be complicated as some proper nouns are also used as common nouns which might be taken literally. Applications of NLP that require addresses, names and other proper nouns face this problem frequently. We propose a method to cluster these spell variations for proper nouns using ML techniques and mathematical similarity equations. We aimed to use Affinity Propagation to determine relative similarity between the tokens. The results are augmented by filtering the token-variation pair by a similarity threshold. We were able to reduce the spell variations by a considerable amount. This application can significantly reduce the amount of human annotation efforts needed for data cleansing and formatting.

description: In 2017, a dengue epidemic of unexpected magnitude occurred in Sri Lanka. A total of 186,101 suspected cases and 440 dengue-related deaths occurred. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of this epidemic by comparing national surveillance data for 2017 with data from the preceding 5 years. In all Sri Lanka districts, dengue incidence in 2017 increased significantly over incidence during the previous 5 years. Older schoolchildren and young adults were more clinically symptomatic than those at extremes of age. Limited virologic surveillance showed the dominant circulating variant was dengue virus type 2 cosmopolitan genotype in the most affected district. One quarter of total annual cases were reported 5 weeks after the southwest monsoon started. Changes in vector abundance were not predictive of the increased incidence. Direct government expenditures on dengue control activities in 2017 were US $12.7 million. The lessons learned from this outbreak are useful for other tropical nations facing increasing dengue incidence.

description: Background: Dengue Virus (DENV) associated disease is a major public health problem. Assessment of HLA class II restricted DENV-specific responses is relevant for immunopathology and definition of correlates of protection. While previous studies characterized responses restricted by the HLA-DRB1 locus, the responses associated with other class II loci have not been characterized to date. Accordingly, we mapped HLA-DP, DQ, and DRB3/4/5 restricted DENV-specific CD4 T cell epitopes in PBMCs derived from the DENV endemic region Sri Lanka. Methods: We studied 12 DP, DQ, and DRB3/4/5 alleles that are commonly expressed and provide worldwide coverage >82% for each of the loci analyzed and >99% when combined. CD4+ T cells purified by negative selection were stimulated with pools of HLA-predicted binders for 2 weeks with autologous APC. Epitope reactive T cells were enumerated using IFNγ ELISPOT assay. This strategy was previously applied to identify DRB1 restricted epitopes. In parallel, membrane expression levels of HLA-DR, DP, and DQ proteins was assessed using flow cytometry. Results: Epitopes were identified for all DP, DQ, and DRB3/4/5 allelic variants albeit with magnitudes significantly lower than the ones previously observed for the DRB1 locus. This was in line with lower membrane expression of HLA-DP and DQ molecules on the PBMCs tested, as compared to HLA-DR. Significant differences between loci were observed in antigen immunodominance. Capsid responses were dominant for DRB1/3/4/5 and DP alleles but negligible for the DQ alleles. NS3 responses were dominant in the case of DRB1/3/4/5 and DQ but absent in the case of DP. NS1 responses were prominent in the case of the DP alleles, but negligible in the case of DR and DQ. In terms of epitope specificity, repertoire was largely overlapping between DRB1 and DRB3/4/5, while DP and DQ loci recognized largely distinct epitope sets. Conclusion: The HLA-DP, DQ, and DRB3/4/5 loci mediate DENV-CD4 specific immune responses of lower magnitude as compared to HLA-DRB1, consistent with their lower levels of expression. The responses are associated with distinct and characteristic patterns of immunodominance, and variable epitope overlap across loci.

description: Extensive air showers induced from high-energy cosmic rays provide a window into understanding the most energetic phenomena in the universe. We present a new method for observing these showers using the silicon imaging detector Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). This method has the advantage of being able to measure individual secondary particles. When paired with a surface detector array, silicon imaging detectors like Subaru HSC will be useful for studying the properties of extensive air showers in detail. The following report outlines the first results of observing extensive air showers with Subaru HSC. The potential for reconstructing the incident direction of primary cosmic rays is demonstrated and possible interdisciplinary applications are discussed.

description: Gravitational waves from coalescing binary black holes encode the evolution of their spins prior to merger. In the post-Newtonian regime and on the precession timescale, this evolution has one of three morphologies, with the spins either librating around one of two fixed points ("resonances") or circulating freely. In this work we perform full parameter estimation on resonant binaries with fixed masses and spin magnitudes, changing three parameters: a conserved "projected effective spin" $ξ$ and resonant family $ΔΦ=0,π$ (which uniquely label the source), the inclination $θ_{JN}$ of the binary's total angular momentum with respect to the line of sight (which determines the strength of precessional effects in the waveform), and the signal amplitude. We demonstrate that resonances can be distinguished for a wide range of binaries, except for highly symmetric configurations where precessional effects are suppressed. Motivated by new insight into double-spin evolution, we introduce new variables to characterize precessing black hole binaries which naturally reflects the timescale separation of the system and therefore better encode the dynamical information carried by gravitational waves.

description: We have computed a theoretical library of stellar spectra, from Near-UV to Near-IR, with varying abundance ratios of alpha, C, N, Na, among others. The current project is aimed at building-up a new set of semi-empirical stellar spectral libraries that incorporate there abundance variations. This is performed by adapting the theoretical library to the instrumental set-up of a newly observed library based on the X-Shooter instrument at the Very Large Telescope, which is called XSL. The adapted theoretical library is used to derive abundance-dependent spectral responses. The differential spectral responses to the varying abundances are applied to the real stars to create semi-empirical versions of the XSL library with varying abundance values of mainly alpha-elements and carbon. The new semi-empirical XSL libraries will incorporate reliable differential corrections for cool stars, which are particularly relevant in the NIR range of galaxy spectra. The XSL is particularly advantageous as it has moderately high resolving power of 10000 with a wide spectral range coverage from the U to the K band (i.e. from ~0.3 to 2.3 micron) but also with an unprecedented coverage of atmospheric parameters. Such advantages make it ideal to compute stellar population models to interpret a rather wide variety of galaxy spectra.
Structural differences between dengue viruses circulating in humans and viruses used for vaccine research

description: Four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes are mosquito-borne flaviviruses of humans. The main mosquito vector of
DENV, Aedes aegypti, is difficult to control because urbanization and other human activities create environments
that strongly favor this species. Given the challenges of mosquito vector control and the absence of other effective
countermeasures, DENVs are thriving and infect several hundred million individuals, living in tropical and
subtropical regions of the world [1,2]. Highly effective vaccines have been developed against related flaviviruses such
as yellow fever (YFV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV) and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) viruses [3]. The development
of DENV vaccines is more challenging because of the presence of four serotypes and the possibility of inadequate
immunity enhancing the replication of DENVs and thus, increasing the risk of severe disease [3]. Three live
attenuated tetravalent DENV vaccines are at different stages of testing in people. Most recently, the public health
community and vaccine developers faced a major setback when the leading candidate, Dengvaxia, was discovered
to have a safety signal in some children [4]. Furthermore, we recently discovered that dengue serotype 1 viruses
(DENV1) widely used for laboratory research are structurally different from DENV1 viruses circulating in the
plasma of those infected [5]. Here, we discuss our findings and the implications for DENV research and vaccines.
Time-evolution of quantum systems via a complex nonlinear Riccati equation. I. Conservative systems with time-independent Hamiltonian

description: The sensitivity of the evolution of quantum uncertainties to the choice of the initial conditions is shown via a complex nonlinear Riccati equation leading to a reformulation of quantum dynamics. This sensitivity is demonstrated for systems with exact analytic solutions with the form of Gaussian wave packets. In particular, one-dimensional conservative systems with at most quadratic Hamiltonians are studied.

description: We call {\it monomer} a B-DNA base-pair and examine, analytically and numerically, electron or hole oscillations in monomer- and dimer-polymers, i.e., periodic sequences with repetition unit made of one or two monomers. We employ a tight-binding (TB) approach at the base-pair level to readily determine the spatiotemporal evolution of a single extra carrier along a $N$ base-pair polymer. We study HOMO and LUMO eigenspectra as well as the mean over time probabilities to find the carrier at a particular monomer. We use the pure mean transfer rate $k$ to evaluate the easiness of charge transfer. The inverse decay length $β$ for exponential fits $k(d)$, where $d$ is the charge transfer distance, and the exponent $η$ for power law fits $k(N)$ are computed; generally power law fits are better. We illustrate that increasing the number of different parameters involved in the TB description, the fall of $k(d)$ or $k(N)$ becomes steeper and show the range covered by $β$ and $η$. Finally, both for the time-independent and the time-dependent problem, we analyze the {\it palindromicity} and the {\it degree of eigenspectrum dependence} of the probabilities to find the carrier at a particular monomer.

Subtle distinctions in the construction of ‘reference societies’: the conflict-laden introduction of compulsory schooling and universal conscription in Chile (1885–1920)

description: This article combines the perspective of transnational transfer with contributions from social theory and historical sociology – specifically the Luhmannian concept of social ‘inclusion’. In doing so, this article reconstructs a historical case regarding the conflicting implementation of universal conscription and compulsory schooling in Chile in the context of a reform process that took place at the turn of the twentieth century and was oriented towards the German Reich. The article aims to trace both the structural correspondence between compulsory schooling and universal conscription and the statutory implementation of both versions of ‘inclusion’ by analysing the lines of argument set forth by the warring liberal and conservative groups of actors and, in particular, their discursive references to the German Reich and Prussia. The main arguments are, firstly, that the German Reich was extremely attractive to broad and even opposing coalitions because of its ambiguity. Secondly, a contradictory conception of citizenship prevailed. Thirdly, a social mobilisation process led by professionalised teachers and officers finally made the introduction of compulsory schooling possible. The article ultimately confirms the fundamental role of ‘reference societies’ in the context of nation-building and modernisation processes in Chile.
Formulating the complete initial boundary value problem in numerical relativity to model black hole echoes

description: In an attempt to simulate black hole echoes (generated by potential quantum-gravitational structure) in numerical relativity, we recently described how to implement a reflecting boundary outside of the horizon of a black hole in spherical symmetry. Here, we generalize this approach to spacetimes with no symmetries and implement it numerically using the generalized harmonic formulation. We cast the evolution equations and the numerical implementation into a Summation By Parts (SBP) scheme, which seats our method closer to a class of provably numerically stable systems. We implement an embedded boundary numerical framework that allows for arbitrarily shaped domains on a rectangular grid and even boundaries that evolve and move across the grid. As a demonstration of this framework, we study the evolution of gravitational wave scattering off a boundary either inside, or just outside, the horizon of a black hole. This marks a big leap toward the goal of a generic framework to obtain gravitational waveforms for behaviors motivated by quantum gravity near the horizons of merging black holes.
