description: In order to solve tasks like uncertainty quantification or hypothesis tests in Bayesian imaging inverse problems, we often have to draw samples from the arising posterior distribution. For the usually log-concave but high-dimensional posteriors, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods based on time discretizations of Langevin diffusion are a popular tool. If the potential defining the distribution is non-smooth, these discretizations are usually of an implicit form leading to Langevin sampling algorithms that require the evaluation of proximal operators. For some of the potentials relevant in imaging problems this is only possible approximately using an iterative scheme. We investigate the behaviour of a proximal Langevin algorithm under the presence of errors in the evaluation of proximal mappings. We generalize existing non-asymptotic and asymptotic convergence results of the exact algorithm to our inexact setting and quantify the bias between the target and the algorithm's stationary distribution due to the errors. We show that the additional bias stays bounded for bounded errors and converges to zero for decaying errors in a strongly convex setting. We apply the inexact algorithm to sample numerically from the posterior of typical imaging inverse problems in which we can only approximate the proximal operator by an iterative scheme and validate our theoretical convergence results.

description: Efficient planning of scarce resources in hospitals is a challenging task for which a large variety of Operations Research and Management Science approaches have been developed since the 1950s. While efficient planning of single resources such as operating rooms, beds, or specific types of staff can already lead to enormous efficiency gains, integrated planning of several resources has been shown to hold even greater potential, and a large number of integrated planning approaches have been presented in the literature over the past decades. This paper provides the first literature review that focuses specifically on the Operations Research and Management Science literature related to integrated planning of different resources in hospitals. We collect the relevant literature and analyze it regarding different aspects such as uncertainty modeling and the use of real-life data. Several cross comparisons reveal interesting insights concerning, e.g., relations between the modeling and solution methods used and the practical implementation of the approaches developed. Moreover, we provide a high-level taxonomy for classifying different resource-focused integration approaches and point out gaps in the literature as well as promising directions for future research.

description: The bimetric theory of gravity is an extension of general relativity that describes a massive spin-$2$ particle in addition to the standard massless graviton. The theory is based on two dynamical metric tensors with their interactions constrained by requiring the absence of the so-called Boulware-Deser ghost. It has been realized that the quantum interactions of matter fields with gravity are bound to generate modifications to the standard Einstein-Hilbert action such as quadratic curvature terms. Such a quadratic Ricci scalar term is present in the so-called Starobinsky model which has been proven to be rather robust in its inflationary predictions. In the present article we study a generalization of the Starobinsky model within the bimetric theory and find that its inflationary behavior stays intact while keeping all consistency requirements of the bimetric framework. The interpretation of the massive spin-2 particle as dark matter remains a viable scenario, as in standard bigravity.

description: Sodium iodide (NaI) based cryogenic scintillating calorimeters using quantum sensors for signal read out have shown promising first results towards a model-independent test of the annually modulating signal detected by the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter experiment. The COSINUS collaboration has previously reported on the first above-ground measurements using a dual channel readout of phonons and light based on transition edge sensors (TESs) that allows for particle discrimination on an event-by-event basis. In this letter, we outline the first underground measurement of a NaI cryogenic calorimeter read out via the novel remoTES scheme. A 3.67 g NaI absorber with an improved silicon light detector design was operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. A significant improvement in the discrimination power of $e^-$/$γ$-events to nuclear recoils was observed with a five-fold improvement in the nuclear recoil baseline resolution, achieving $σ$ = 441 eV. Furthermore, we present a limit on the spin-independent dark-matter nucleon elastic scattering cross-section achieving a sensitivity of $\mathcal{O}$(pb) with an exposure of only 11.6 g d.

description: Decoherence is a major obstacle to the preparation of topological order in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Here, we show that decoherence can also give rise to new types of topological order. Specifically, we construct concrete examples by proliferating fermionic anyons in the toric code via local quantum channels. The resulting mixed states retain long-range entanglement, which manifests in the nonzero topological entanglement negativity, though the topological quantum memory is destroyed by decoherence. By comparison with the gapless spin liquid in pure states, we show that the identified states represent a novel intrinsic mixed-state topological order, which has no counterpart in pure states. Through the lens of quantum anomalies of 1-form symmetries, we then provide general constructions of intrinsic mixed-state topological order and reveal the existence of nonbosonic deconfined anyons as another key feature of these novel phases. The extended meaning and characterization of deconfined excitations and their statistics in mixed states are clarified. Moreover, when these deconfined anyons have nontrivial braiding statistics, we prove that the mixed states cannot be prepared via finite-depth local quantum channels from any bipartite separable states. We further demonstrate our construction using the decohered Kitaev honeycomb model and the decohered double-semion model. In the latter case, a surprising scenario arises where decoherence gives rise to additional types of deconfined anyons.

Material Examined. NMNZ P.023896, female, 114 mm SL, 120 mm TL, 44°21.35' S, 176°57.30' E, SW Chatham Rise, F/V Cordella, Stn. COR 8802/109, 29 September 1988, 1086– 1102 m. Poor condition.
Description. Counts. V 65, D 61, C 8, P ~19, radials and pc unknown. Ratios. HL 18.0% SL, HW 10.1, sn 4.1, E 5.0, orbit 6.3, uj 7.5, go 3.4, UPL 12.3, preD 21.0. In % HL: HW 56.1, sn 22.9, E 27.8, orbit 35.1, uj 42.0, UPL 68.3, preD 117.1.
Mouth horizontal, oral cleft extending to below anterior edge of orbit, upper jaw extending to below mid orbit. Premaxillary teeth simple, stout canines with weak or no shoulders, arranged in 17–18 oblique curved rows of up to six teeth each, forming a narrow band; mandibular teeth similar but about 24 rows. Symphyseal gaps present in both jaws. Gill opening above and in front of up to two pectoral fin rays. Pectoral fin upper ray level about on horizontal with lower margin of orbit, its rays 14+2?+3?. Rudimentary rays absent. Vertebrae 9+56. Dorsal fin origin between V 2–3 or 3–4 (anteriormost pterygiophore may or may not have supported a ray). Anal fin origin unknown. Caudal rays 4/4. Body color unknown, orobranchial cavity pale, black dotted. Peritoneum dark brown, stomach pale.
Comparisons. Unfortunately, this specimen is so badly damaged that most measurements cannot be made. Although similar to P. freeborni it appears to differ from it in having a much shallower body (e.g., visibly more slender), narrower premaxillary tooth band, and lower jaw teeth much closer together than those in upper jaw. The gill opening extends further ventrally (above and in front of about two rays vs completely above fin), and its caudal fin has more rays (8 vs 6). The mouth is pale and black-dotted (vs dusky).

description: Multi-energy X-ray tomography is studied for decomposing three materials using three X-ray energies and a classical energy-integrating detector. A novel regularization term comprises inner products between the material distribution functions, penalizing any overlap of different materials. The method is tested on real data measured of a phantom embedded with Na$_2$SeO$_3$, Na$_2$SeO$_4$, and elemental selenium. It is found that the two-dimensional distributions of selenium in different oxidation states can be mapped and distinguished from each other with the new algorithm. The results have applications in material science, chemistry, biology and medicine.

description: Diffuse gliomas are malignant brain tumors that grow widespread through the brain. The complex interactions between neoplastic cells and normal tissue, as well as the treatment-induced changes often encountered, make glioma tumor growth modeling challenging. In this paper, we present a novel end-to-end network capable of future predictions of tumor masks and multi-parametric magnetic resonance images (MRI) of how the tumor will look at any future time points for different treatment plans. Our approach is based on cutting-edge diffusion probabilistic models and deep-segmentation neural networks. We included sequential multi-parametric MRI and treatment information as conditioning inputs to guide the generative diffusion process as well as a joint segmentation process. This allows for tumor growth estimates and realistic MRI generation at any given treatment and time point. We trained the model using real-world postoperative longitudinal MRI data with glioma tumor growth trajectories represented as tumor segmentation maps over time. The model demonstrates promising performance across various tasks, including generating high-quality multi-parametric MRI with tumor masks, performing time-series tumor segmentations, and providing uncertainty estimates. Combined with the treatment-aware generated MRI, the tumor growth predictions with uncertainty estimates can provide useful information for clinical decision-making.

description: This study investigates the flow supplied by personalized ventilation (PV) by means of anemometer measurements and schlieren visualization. The study was conducted using a thermal manikin to simulate a seated occupant facing a PV outlet. Air velocity was measured at multiple points in the flow field; the collected velocity values were used to calculate the turbulence intensity. Results indicated that PV was supplying air with low turbulence intensity that was able to penetrate the convective boundary layer of the manikin to supply clean air for inhalation. The convective boundary layer, however, obstructed the supplied flow and reduced its velocity by a total of 0.26 m/s. The PV flow preserved its value until about 10 cm from the face where velocity started to drop. Further investigations were conducted to test a PV diffuser with a relatively large outlet diameter (18 cm). This diffuser was developed using 3d-modelling and 3d-printing. The diffuser successfully distributed the flow over the larger outlet area. However, the supplied velocity and turbulence fields were not uniform across the section.
A central limit theorem for the number of excursion set components of Gaussian fields

description: For a smooth stationary Gaussian field on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and level $\ell \in \mathbb{R}$, we consider the number of connected components of the excursion set $\{f \ge \ell\}$ (or level set $\{f = \ell\}$) contained in large domains. The mean of this quantity is known to scale like the volume of the domain under general assumptions on the field. We prove that, assuming sufficient decay of correlations (e.g. the Bargmann-Fock field), a central limit theorem holds with volume-order scaling. Previously such a result had only been established for `additive' geometric functionals of the excursion/level sets (e.g. the volume or Euler characteristic) using Hermite expansions. Our approach, based on a martingale analysis, is more robust and can be generalised to a wider class of topological functionals. A major ingredient in the proof is a third moment bound on critical points, which is of independent interest.

description: Psednos Barnard 1927
Diagnosis (modified from Chernova and Stein, 2002). Ventral disk absent. Pseudobranchiae absent. One pair of nostrils. Mouth oblique, superior or terminal. Infraorbital sensory canal widely interrupted behind eye, consisting usually of six (5+1) or five (5+0) pores. Nasal pores widely spaced, the upper nasal pore opening higher and behind vertical through nostril. Suprabranchial pore far above top of gill opening. Pectoral fin of 13–17 rays, usually with a notch. Pectoral girdle with three (rarely four) radials, rounded or notched. Interradial fenestrae present or absent. Vertebrae 40–58. Vertebral column often but not always sharply curved dorsally, usually resulting in a humpbacked body deep at occiput, with anteriormost vertebrae forming a distinct angle with cranium. Pleural ribs absent. Hypural plate single, unslit. Caudal fin rays usually six, rarely five.
Two subgenera, Psednos sensu stricto and Protopsednos Andriashev 2003. Psednos s.s. is defined by V 40 –47, D 34–42, A 28–35, having three evenly spaced radials lacking notches and interradial foramina. Protopsednos has V 56 –58, D 48–50, A 41–43, and three radials (2+0+1) with notches and 1–2 interradial fenestrae. Validation of these subgenera awaits examination of more specimens.
Distribution. Eighteen species known from the Southern Hemisphere, of which at least eight are from New Zealand waters (Fig. 24). Six of the 18 are in Psednos s.s. and three more in P. Protopsednos. Assignment of the New Zealand species is problematic; all could be in Protopsednos but several do not fit well.
Psednos individuals are rare and usually very difficult to identify because they are often similar and differ in non-quantitative details. Frequently, valuable characters are damaged or destroyed during capture and examination. Three of the species included below were badly damaged and were distinguished by only a few characters (see Methods, above). Therefore, the following key should be used with caution and should not be considered definitive.

Additional notes: Six slides with one specimen each with identical label data and one slide with two specimens. Given that the typed “ paratype ” has been crossed out in pencil and replaced with “ syntype ”, the identity of these slides as syntypes is somewhat dubious. ECP has also examined photographs of the four slides with the same label data in the Bohart collection at UC Davis (where most of Ferris’s collection and type material was deposited) but they are not labeled as type material and the handwriting differs from the slides deposited at FSCA. Further, we have an additional four specimens on two slides with the same label data in the main collection not labeled as type material.

description: Acoustic travel-time tomography (ATOM) is being increasingly considered recently as a remote sensing methodology to determine the indoor air temperatures distribution. It employs the relationship between the sound velocities along sound-paths and their related travel-times through measured room-impulse-response (RIR). Thus, the precise travel-time estimation is of critical importance which can be performed by applying an analysis time-window method. In this study, multiple analysis time-windows with different lengths are proposed to overcome the challenge of accurate detection of the travel-times at RIR. Hence, the ATOM-temperatures distribution has been measured at the climate chamber lab of the Bauhaus-University Weimar. As a benchmark, the temperatures of NTC thermistors are compared to the reconstructed temperatures derived from the ATOM technique illustrating this technique can be a reliable substitute for traditional thermal sensors. The numerical results indicate that the selection of an appropriate analysis time-window significantly enhances the accuracy of the reconstructed temperatures distribution.

description: We study a one-dimensional mixture of two-color fermions and scalar bosons at the hardcore limit, focusing on the effect that the intraspecies next-neighbor interactions have on the zero-temperature ground state of the system for different fillings of each carrier. Exploring the problem's parameters, we observed that the non-local interaction could favor or harm the well-known mixed Mott and spin-selective Mott insulators. We also found the emergence of three unusual insulating states with charge density wave (CDW) structures in which the orders of the carriers are out of phase with each other. For instance, the immiscible CDW appears only at half-filling bosonic density, whereas the mixed CDW state is characterized by equal densities of bosons and fermions. Finally, the spin-selective CDW couples the bosons and only one kind of fermions. Appropriate order parameters were proposed for each phase to obtain the critical parameters for the corresponding superfluid-insulator transition. Our results can inspire or contribute to understanding experiments in cold-atom setups with long-range interactions or recent reports involving quasiparticles in semiconductor heterostructures.

description: Motivated by quantum network applications over classical channels, we initiate the study of $n$-party resource states from which LOCC protocols can create EPR-pairs between any $k$ disjoint pairs of parties. We give constructions of such states where $k$ is not too far from the optimal $n/2$ while the individual parties need to hold only a constant number of qubits. In the special case when each party holds only one qubit, we describe a family of $n$-qubit states with $k$ proportional to $\log n$ based on Reed-Muller codes, as well as small numerically found examples for $k=2$ and $k=3$. We also prove some lower bounds, for example showing that if $k=n/2$ then the parties must have at least $Ω(\log\log n)$ qubits each.

description: Decision trees are widely adopted machine learning models due to their simplicity and explainability. However, as training data size grows, standard methods become increasingly slow, scaling polynomially with the number of training examples. In this work, we introduce Des-q, a novel quantum algorithm to construct and retrain decision trees for regression and binary classification tasks. Assuming the data stream produces small, periodic increments of new training examples, Des-q significantly reduces the tree retraining time. Des-q achieves a logarithmic complexity in the combined total number of old and new examples, even accounting for the time needed to load the new samples into quantum-accessible memory. Our approach to grow the tree from any given node involves performing piecewise linear splits to generate multiple hyperplanes, thus partitioning the input feature space into distinct regions. To determine the suitable anchor points for these splits, we develop an efficient quantum-supervised clustering method, building upon the q-means algorithm introduced by Kerenidis et al. We benchmark the simulated version of Des-q against the state-of-the-art classical methods on multiple data sets and observe that our algorithm exhibits similar performance to the state-of-the-art decision trees while significantly speeding up the periodic tree retraining.

description: Quantum state purification is the task of recovering a nearly pure copy of an unknown pure quantum state using multiple noisy copies of the state. This basic task has applications to quantum communication over noisy channels and quantum computation with imperfect devices, but has only been studied previously for the case of qubits. We derive an efficient purification procedure based on the swap test for qudits of any dimension, starting with any initial error parameter. Treating the initial error parameter and the dimension as constants, we show that our procedure has sample complexity asymptotically optimal in the final error parameter. Our protocol has a simple recursive structure that can be applied when the states are provided one at a time in a streaming fashion, requiring only a small quantum memory to implement.
