description: We show that the seemingly different methods used to derive non-Lorentzian (Galilean and Carrollian) gravitational theories from Lorentzian ones are equivalent. Specifically, the pre-nonrelativistic and the pre-ultralocal parametrizations can be constructed from the gauging of the Galilei and Carroll algebras, respectively. Also, the pre-ultralocal approach of taking the Carrollian limit is equivalent to performing the ADM decomposition and then setting the signature of the Lorentzian manifold to zero. We use this uniqueness to write a generic expansion for the curvature tensors and construct Galilean and Carrollian limits of all metric theories of gravity of finite order ranging from the $f(R)$ gravity to a completely generic higher derivative theory, the $f(g_{μν},R_{μνσρ},\nabla_μ)$ gravity. We present an algorithm for calculation of the $n$-th order of the Galilean and Carrollian expansions that transforms this problem into a constrained optimization problem. We also derive the condition under which a gravitational theory becomes a modification of general relativity in both limits simultaneously.

description: Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a leading candidate algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems on quantum computers. However, in many cases QAOA requires computationally intensive parameter optimization. The challenge of parameter optimization is particularly acute in the case of weighted problems, for which the eigenvalues of the phase operator are non-integer and the QAOA energy landscape is not periodic. In this work, we develop parameter setting heuristics for QAOA applied to a general class of weighted problems. First, we derive optimal parameters for QAOA with depth $p=1$ applied to the weighted MaxCut problem under different assumptions on the weights. In particular, we rigorously prove the conventional wisdom that in the average case the first local optimum near zero gives globally-optimal QAOA parameters. Second, for $p\geq 1$ we prove that the QAOA energy landscape for weighted MaxCut approaches that for the unweighted case under a simple rescaling of parameters. Therefore, we can use parameters previously obtained for unweighted MaxCut for weighted problems. Finally, we prove that for $p=1$ the QAOA objective sharply concentrates around its expectation, which means that our parameter setting rules hold with high probability for a random weighted instance. We numerically validate this approach on general weighted graphs and show that on average the QAOA energy with the proposed fixed parameters is only $1.1$ percentage points away from that with optimized parameters. Third, we propose a general heuristic rescaling scheme inspired by the analytical results for weighted MaxCut and demonstrate its effectiveness using QAOA with the XY Hamming-weight-preserving mixer applied to the portfolio optimization problem. Our heuristic improves the convergence of local optimizers, reducing the number of iterations by 7.4x on average.

description: The integration of two different advanced oxidation processes can not only avoid their individual shortcomings but also utilize the synergistic effects between them. Herein, CoFe2O4 modified g-C3N4 composite (CoFe2O4@g-C3N4) was synthesized and used for building a novel coupled system, in which two processes of visible light-activated photocatalysis and sulfate radical-based Fenton-like oxidation have been combined together to provide a synergistic reaction path for the removal of rhodamine B. The coupled system exhibited a drastically enhanced catalytic efficiency compared with the photocatalytic or Fenton-like process alone. It also showed a significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared with g-C3N4, CoFe2O4 or their simple mixture. The improved catalytic performance can be ascribed to the efficient separation of photogenerated carriers as well as more available catalytic reactive sites for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation due to the synergistic effects between the photocatalytic and Fenton-like processes. In 30 min, 96% RhB was degraded using PMS activated by a CoFe2O4@g-C3N4 composite with 3% CoFe2O4 loading under visible light irradiation, and the synergistic index in such system reached as high as 3.07. Such system can be used at a wide pH range of 3.0–10.0. The composite also showed good stability for its practical applications.

Statistical post-processing of visibility ensemble forecasts

description: To be able to produce accurate and reliable predictions of visibility has crucial importance in aviation meteorology, as well as in water- and road transportation. Nowadays, several meteorological services provide ensemble forecasts of visibility; however, the skill, and reliability of visibility predictions are far reduced compared to other variables, such as temperature or wind speed. Hence, some form of calibration is strongly advised, which usually means estimation of the predictive distribution of the weather quantity at hand either by parametric or non-parametric approaches, including also machine learning-based techniques. As visibility observations - according to the suggestion of the World Meteorological Organization - are usually reported in discrete values, the predictive distribution for this particular variable is a discrete probability law, hence calibration can be reduced to a classification problem. Based on visibility ensemble forecasts of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts covering two slightly overlapping domains in Central and Western Europe and two different time periods, we investigate the predictive performance of locally, semi-locally and regionally trained proportional odds logistic regression (POLR) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network classifiers. We show that while climatological forecasts outperform the raw ensemble by a wide margin, post-processing results in further substantial improvement in forecast skill and in general, POLR models are superior to their MLP counterparts.

We extend the double ratio method previously used to determine the B -> D l nu form factor. The bulk of statistical and systematic errors cancel in the double ratios we consider, yielding form factors which promise to reduce present theoretical uncertainties in the determination of V_{cb}. We present results from a prototype calculation at a single lattice spacing corresponding to beta=5.7.

description: Quantum machine learning with quantum kernels for classification problems is a growing area of research. Recently, quantum kernel alignment techniques that parameterise the kernel have been developed, allowing the kernel to be trained and therefore aligned with a specific dataset. While quantum kernel alignment is a promising technique, it has been hampered by considerable training costs because the full kernel matrix must be constructed at every training iteration. Addressing this challenge, we introduce a novel method that seeks to balance efficiency and performance. We present a sub-sampling training approach that uses a subset of the kernel matrix at each training step, thereby reducing the overall computational cost of the training. In this work, we apply the sub-sampling method to synthetic datasets and a real-world breast cancer dataset and demonstrate considerable reductions in the number of circuits required to train the quantum kernel while maintaining classification accuracy.

description: Though presenting typological and construction-related features different from other European countries, Italian residential buildings as a whole fail to meet the performances required by the European Union before the 2050 deadline. Among the hypotheses meant to upgrade residential buildings, adding floors is regarded as capable of meeting the demand for new lodgings without any further soil consumption as well as of being the driving force leading to the overall upgrading of the building. The research has been aimed at focusing on the problems arising from upward extensions within the Italian seismic context, by means of digital environment surveys, defining intervention guidelines that can be applied to adding floors to 1950-2000 buildings.

description: A non-vanishing vacuum expectation value for an antisymmetric tensor field leads to the violation of Lorentz invariance on the brane. This violation is controlled by the $θ_{μν}$ parameter, which has a dimension of inverse mass squared. We assume that the zeroth order term in theta-expansion represents the Standard Model and study the effects induced by linear terms in theta_{μν}. Low-energy precision experiments place the limit on the possible size of this background at the level of $1/\sqrtθ > 5 \times 10^{14}$ GeV. This poses certain difficulty for the TeV-range string scale models, in which the antisymmetric field has to acquire a relatively large mass to ensure that $θ_{μν}=0$ and avoid cosmological moduli problem.

description: Knowledge of the Earth's atmospheric optical turbulence is critical for astronomical instrumentation. Not only does it enable performance verification and optimisation of existing systems but it is required for the design of future instruments. As a minimum this includes integrated astro-atmospheric parameters such as seeing, coherence time and isoplanatic angle, but for more sophisticated systems such as wide field adaptive optics enabled instrumentation the vertical structure of the turbulence is also required. Stereo-SCIDAR is a technique specifically designed to characterise the Earth's atmospheric turbulence with high altitude resolution and high sensitivity. Together with ESO, Durham University has commissioned a Stereo-SCIDAR instrument at Cerro Paranal, Chile, the site of the Very Large Telescope (VLT), and only 20~km from the site of the future Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Here we provide results from the first 18 months of operation at ESO Paranal including instrument comparisons and atmospheric statistics. Based on a sample of 83 nights spread over 22 months covering all seasons, we find the median seeing to be 0.64" with 50% of the turbulence confined to an altitude below 2 km and 40% below 600 m. The median coherence time and isoplanatic angle are found as 4.18 ms and 1.75" respectively. A substantial campaign of inter-instrument comparison was also undertaken to assure the validity of the data. The Stereo-SCIDAR profiles (optical turbulence strength and velocity as a function of altitude) have been compared with the Surface-Layer SLODAR, MASS-DIMM and the ECMWF weather forecast model. The correlation coefficients are between 0.61 (isoplanatic angle) and 0.84 (seeing).

description: We examine Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the case of inhomogenous neutrino degeneracy, in the limit where the fluctuations are sufficiently small on large length scales that the present-day element abundances are homogeneous. We consider two representive cases: degeneracy of the electron neutrino alone, and equal chemical potentials for all three neutrinos. We use a linear programming method to constrain an arbitrary distribution of the chemical potentials. For the current set of (highly-restrictive) limits on the primordial element abundances, homogeneous neutrino degeneracy barely changes the allowed range of the baryon-to-photon ratio. Inhomogeneous degeneracy allows for little change in the lower bound on the baryon-to-photon ratio, but the upper bound in this case can be as large as 1.1 \times 10^{-8} (only electron neutrino degeneracy) or 1.0 \times 10^{-9} (equal degeneracies for all three neutrinos). For the case of inhomogeneous neutrino degeneracy, we show that there is no BBN upper bound on the neutrino energy density, which is bounded in this case only by limits from structure formation and the cosmic microwave background.

We demonstrate the ability to create single quantum dots (QDs) of various sizes, with low hole occupation numbers and clearly observable excited states. For the smallest dot size we observe indications of single-hole occupation. Moreover, we create double and triple tunnel-coupled quantum dot arrays. In the double quantum dot configuration we observe Pauli spin blockade (PSB). These results open the way to perform hole spin qubit experiments in these devices.

The corresponding adiabatic dynamical and geometrical phases are calculated. The method introduced in this paper avoids the use of an inner product on the space of solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation. Its practical advantages are demonstrated in the analysis of the relativistic Landau level problem and the rotating cosmic string.

description: Deindustrialization has moved factories and jobs elsewhere, creating voids, not just space, in Western cities. The definition of the fourth industrial revolution incorporates the tendency of modern manufacturing to produce with innovative methodologies and systems, exploiting the ever-increasing development of ICT technologies and adapting it for factory applications. The production plant changes, both for the conformation of several systems that interact with each other and for a consequent occupation of the spaces. The article analyzes the evolutionary scenario of industrial production and describes the ways in which some activities can develop vertically, creating the conditions for a location in the city.

description: The most robust way for determining the distance of quasar absorption outflows is the use of troughs from ionic excited states. The column density ratio between the excited and resonance states yields the outflow number density. Combined with a knowledge of the outflow's ionization parameter, a distance from the central source (R) can be determined. Here we report results from two surveys targeting outflows that show troughs from S IV. One survey includes 1091 SDSS and BOSS quasar spectra, and the other includes higher-quality spectra of 13 quasars observed with the Very Large Telescope. Our S IV samples include 38 broad absorption line (BAL) outflows, and four mini-BAL outflows. The S IV is formed in the same physical region of the outflow as the canonical outflow-identifying species C IV. Our results show that S IV absorption is only detected in 25% of C IV BAL outflows. The smaller detection fraction is due to the higher total column density ($N_H$) needed to detect S IV absorption. Since R empirically anticorrelates with $N_H$ the results of these surveys can be extrapolated to C IV quasar outflows with lower $N_H$ as well. We find that at least 50% of quasar outflows are at distances larger than 100 pc from the central source, and at least 12% are at distances larger than 1000 pc. These results have profound implications for the study of the origin and acceleration mechanism of quasar outflows and their effects on the host galaxy.

description: In quantum engineering, faults may occur in a quantum control system, which will cause the quantum control system unstable or deteriorate other relevant performance of the system. This note presents an estimator-based fault-tolerant control design approach for a class of linear quantum stochastic systems subject to fault signals. In this approach, the fault signals and some commutative components of the quantum system observables are estimated, and a fault-tolerant controller is designed to compensate the effect of the fault signals. Numerical procedures are developed for controller design and an example is presented to demonstrate the proposed design approach.

In Urbanistic Plan (PRG), the zone is defined as “unplanned or spontaneous nucleus”, but it borders to the north with planned districts. The research unit has connected these two different types of settlement, introducing elements of verticality and functional mixité in a horizontal and mono-functional area; at the same time, the project aims to characterize the huge mass of agricultural soil and to solve the problem of frequent flooding, determined by the overabundant seasonal rains.

description: This Letter reports the observation of $WZγ$ production and a measurement of its cross-section using 140.1 $\pm$ 1.2 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The $WZγ$ production cross-section, with both the $W$ and $Z$ bosons decaying leptonically, $pp \rightarrow WZγ\rightarrow {\ell'}^{\pm}ν\ell^{+}\ell^{-}γ$ ($\ell^{(')} = e, μ$), is measured in a fiducial phase-space region defined such that the leptons and the photon have high transverse momentum and the photon is isolated. The cross-section is found to be 2.01 $\pm$ 0.30 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.16 (syst) fb. The corresponding Standard Model predicted cross-section calculated at next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics and at leading order in the electroweak coupling constant is 1.50 $\pm$ 0.06 fb. The observed significance of the $WZγ$ signal is 6.3$σ$, compared with an expected significance of 5.0$σ$.

Such maps are always rational, which naturally leads to a related problem of classifying rational maps taking concentric spheres to concentric spheres, what we call $m$-fold sphere maps; a proper map of the difference of concentric balls is a $2$-fold sphere map. We prove that proper maps of ball complements are in one to one correspondence with polynomial proper maps of balls taking infinity to infinity. We show that rational $m$-fold sphere maps of degree less than $m$ (or polynomial maps of degree $m$ or less) must take all concentric spheres to concentric spheres and we provide a complete classification of them. We prove that these degree bounds are sharp.

description: We predict pseudo topological insulators that have been previously overlooked. We determine some conditions under which robust pseudo topological edge states appear and illustrate our idea on the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with extra chiral symmetry breaking potentials. We discuss that pseudo topological insulating phase transition occurs without band gap closing.

MSc Thesis

description: The aim of this master's thesis is to make a recommendation on how the implementation of dual vocational education and training in Armenia could be optimized by means of Blended Learning concepts. The focus is on various occupations in the agricultural sector as examples. In order to achieve this goal, three specific questions were formulated:

- How must Blended Learning concepts be designed to support dual vocational education in Armenia?- What conditions are necessary in Armenia's dual VET system to implement Blended Learning in the agricultural VET sector?- How can Blended Learning be promoted to be accepted in the agricultural sector of Armenia's dual VET system?

In order to answer these questions, nine guided interviews were conducted in Armenia on the topic of Blended Learning with people who are directly involved in the VET system. After translation and transcription, the results were analyzed according to Kuckartz. In addition, 59 students from two Armenian colleges were asked about Blended Learning in a survey. It became clear that the framework conditions will be pivotal to a successful launch or implementation, with the focus being primarily on the training companies, the infrastructure and the people responsible at the colleges. Furthermore, professional support and standardized introduction are of great importance, especially during implementation. In order to promote the acceptance of Blended Learning, the benefits for all and for the image of the professions, including their knock-on effects, should be demonstrated. The most important finding of this work is that, even in a setting marked by a lack of investment, the greatest possible benefit from Blended Learning for dual training should be sought with the available resources.

description: We have detected an optical jet in the BL Lac object 3C 371 that coincides with the radio jet in this object in the central few kpc. The most notable feature is a bright optical knot 3 arcsec (4 kpc) from the nucleus that occurs at the location where the jet apparently changes its direction by ~30 degrees. The radio, near-infrared and optical observations of this knot are consistent with a single power-law spectrum with a radio-optical spectral index alpha = -0.81. One possible scenario for the observed turn is that the jet is interacting with the material in the bridge connecting 3C 371 to nearby galaxies and the pressure gradient is deflecting the jet significantly.

description: The mass spectra of charmonium are investigated using a Coulomb plus linear (Cornell) potential. Gaussian wave function in position space as well as in momentum space are employed to calculate the expectation value of potential and kinetic energy respectively. Various experimental states ($X(4660)(5^{3}S_{1})$, $X(3872)(2^{3}P_{1})$, $X(3900)(2^{1}P_{1})$, $X(3915)(2^{3}P_{0})$ and $X(4274)(3^{3}P_{1})$ etc.) are assigned as charmonium states. We also study the Regge trajectories, pseudoscalar and vector decay constants, the Electric and Magnetic dipole transition rates and the annihilation decay width for charmonium states.
Empirical derivation of the metallicity evolution with time and radius using TNG50 Milky Way/Andromeda analogues

description: Recent works have used a linear birth metallicity gradient to estimate the evolution of the [Fe/H] profile in the Galactic disk over time, and infer stellar birth radii (R$_\text{birth}$) from [Fe/H] and age measurements. These estimates rely on the evolution of [Fe/H] at the Galactic center ([Fe/H](0, $τ$)) and the birth metallicity gradient ($\nabla$[Fe/H]($τ)$) over time -- quantities that are unknown and inferred under key assumptions. In this work, we use the sample of Milky Way/Andromeda analogues from the TNG50 simulation to investigate the ability to recover [Fe/H](R, $τ$) and R$_\text{birth}$ in a variety of galaxies. Using stellar disk particles, we test the assumptions required in estimating R$_\text{birth}$, [Fe/H](0, $τ$), and $\nabla$[Fe/H]($τ)$ using recently proposed methods to understand when they are valid. We show that $\nabla$[Fe/H]($τ)$ can be recovered in most galaxies to within 26% from the range in [Fe/H] across age, with better accuracy for more massive and stronger barred galaxies. We also find that the true central metallicity is unrepresentative of the genuine disk [Fe/H] profile; thus we propose to use a projected central metallicity instead. About half of the galaxies in our sample do not have a continuously enriching projected central metallicity, with a dilution in [Fe/H] correlating with mergers. Most importantly, galaxy-specific [Fe/H](R, $τ$) can be constrained and confirmed by requiring the R$_\text{birth}$ distributions of mono-age, solar neighborhood populations to follow inside-out formation. We conclude that examining trends with R$_\text{birth}$ is valid for the Milky Way disk and similarly structured galaxies, where we expect R$_\text{birth}$ can be recovered to within 20% assuming today's measurement uncertainties in TNG50.

description: We derive exact relations for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions. In terms of Abelian projection, these are the expectation values of Maxwell equations that define a new field strength operator and conserved, dynamic electric currents formed from the charged matter and ghost fields. The effect of gauge fixing is calculated, and in the maximally Abelian gauge we find antiscreening of U(1) Wilson loop source charges. We discuss the importance of these quantities in the dual superconducting vacuum mechanism of confinement.

description: Women in male-dominated organizations often must adopt more stereotypical masculine traits to advance within those hierarchies. While politics, historically male-dominated, should induce women to blend in, increasing numbers of women in parliaments may give women the opportunity to stand out by not adopting a masculine style. This paper investigates how these contradictory incentives influence female Members of Parliament (MPs) in 24 democracies between 1987 and 2022, applying machine learning to 6.8 million parliamentary speeches to measure how feminine is their speaking style. Findings indicate a socialization effect, whereby women adopt a more masculine style the longer they stay in office, even after controlling for their speeches’ topics. The effect is strongest for women in socially progressive parties. This research highlights the role of parliaments as gendered workplaces, which still lead women to adapt to the male norm, and helps us understand the incentives that shape how women represent women in parliament.

description: Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the BPNT (Non-Cash Food Welfare) program in Bone Bolango Regency. Research data were collected through interviews, observations, and review of written documents and were analyzed qualitatively through four stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of the study indicate that implementing the BPNT program in Bone Bolango Regency has effectively alleviated the community's daily economic burdens by meeting their basic food needs. However, the program has also had unintended consequences, as some beneficiaries have become less productive and reluctant to work, preferring to wait for the aid. Furthermore, the allocation of benefits is subject to variation and adjustment based on the size of the family unit. Consequently, the program is considered inadequate in addressing poverty in Bone Bolango Regency. Thus, we recommend providing guidance and empowerment to beneficiaries to reduce their dependency on the program. Furthermore, enhancing public outreach and education regarding the objectives and operational mechanisms of the BPNT program is imperative to augment its overall effectiveness.

Rooftop architecture and urban roofscape: designing the new vertical city

Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2019

description: Rooftop architecture reveals great potentialities in favoring a new interpretation of urban spaces and new ways of living the city. Thanks to the redefinition of the morpho-techno-typological characteristics of urban-fabric, the verticalization and concentration of the city and its skyline, rooftop architecture creates unexpected spaces in contemporary metropolis, encouraging the performance upgrade of buildings and introducing new functions. This leads to the growth of innovative social and collective models. At present, the process is compromised by a lack of consideration of the contextual frame and the ‘genius loci’, due to the absence of a regulation able to relate the quality of interventions to a landscape scale. This means missing an opportunity for rethinking urban regeneration.
