description: Two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the major tools for analysing the chemical structure of organic molecules and proteins. Despite its power, this technique requires long measurement times, which, particularly in the recently emerging diamond based single molecule NMR, limits its application to stable samples. Here we demonstrate a method which allows to obtain the spectrum by collecting only a small fraction of the experimental data. Our method is based on matrix completion which can recover the full spectral information from randomly sampled data points. We confirm experimentally the applicability of this technique by performing two dimensional electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) experiments on a two spin system consisting of a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre in diamond coupled to a single 13C nuclear spin. We show that the main peaks in the spectrum can be obtained with only 10 % of the total number of the data points. We believe that our results reported here can find an application in all types of two dimensional spectroscopy, as long as the measured matrices have a low rank.

description: We demonstrate a new approach for engineering group IV semiconductor-based quantum photonic structures containing negatively charged silicon-vacancy (SiV$^-$) color centers in diamond as quantum emitters. Hybrid SiC/diamond structures are realized by combining the growth of nanoand micro-diamonds on silicon carbide (3C or 4H polytype) substrates, with the subsequent use of these diamond crystals as a hard mask for pattern transfer. SiV$^-$ color centers are incorporated in diamond during its synthesis from molecular diamond seeds (diamondoids), with no need for ionimplantation or annealing. We show that the same growth technique can be used to grow a diamond layer controllably doped with SiV$^-$ on top of a high purity bulk diamond, in which we subsequently fabricate nanopillar arrays containing high quality SiV$^-$ centers. Scanning confocal photoluminescence measurements reveal optically active SiV$^-$ lines both at room temperature and low temperature (5 K) from all fabricated structures, and, in particular, very narrow linewidths and small inhomogeneous broadening of SiV$^-$ lines from all-diamond nano-pillar arrays, which is a critical requirement for quantum computation. At low temperatures (5 K) we observe in these structures the signature typical of SiV$^-$ centers in bulk diamond, consistent with a double lambda. These results indicate that high quality color centers can be incorporated into nanophotonic structures synthetically with properties equivalent to those in bulk diamond, thereby opening opportunities for applications in classical and quantum information processing.

description: Quantum Hall (QH) systems consist of many-body electron and nuclear spins. They are coupled so weakly through the hyperfine interaction that normally electron spin dynamics are scarcely affected by the nuclear spins. The dynamics of the QH systems, however, may drastically change when the nuclear spins interact with low-energy collective excitation modes of the electron spins. We theoretically investigate the nuclear-electron spin interaction in the QH systems as hybrid quantum systems driven by the hyperfine interaction. In particular, we study the interaction between the nuclear spins and the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) mode with the linear dispersion relation associated with the U(1) spin rotational symmetry breaking. We show that such an interaction is described as nuclear spins collectively coupled to the NG mode, and can be effectively described by the Dicke model. Based on the model we suggest that various collective spin phenomena realized in quantum optical systems also emerge in the QH systems.

Why Eddy Momentum Fluxes are Concentrated in the Upper Troposphere

description: The extratropical eddy momentum flux (EMF) is controlled by generation, propagation, and dissipation of large-scale eddies and is concentrated in Earth's upper troposphere. An idealized GCM is used to investigate how this EMF structure arises. In simulations in which the poles are heated more strongly than the equator, EMF is concentrated near the surface, demonstrating that surface drag generally is not responsible for the upper-tropospheric EMF concentration. Although Earth's upper troposphere favors linear wave propagation, quasi-linear simulations in which nonlinear eddy-eddy interactions are suppressed demonstrate that this is likewise not primarily responsible for the upper-tropospheric EMF concentration. The quasi-linear simulations reveal the essential role of nonlinear eddy-eddy interactions in the surf zone in the upper troposphere, where wave activity absorption away from the baroclinic generation regions occurs through the nonlinear generation of small scales. In Earth-like atmospheres, wave activity that is generated in the lower troposphere propagates upward, then turns meridionally, eventually to be absorbed nonlinearly in the upper troposphere. The level at which the wave activity begins to propagate meridionally appears to be set by the typical height reached by baroclinic eddies. This can coincide with the tropopause height but also can lie below it if convection controls the tropopause height. In the latter case, EMF is maximal well below the tropopause. The simulations suggest that EMF is concentrated in Earth's upper troposphere because typical baroclinic eddies reach the tropopause.

description: This article uses a basic model of a reed instrument , known as the lossless Raman model, to determine analytically the envelope of the sound produced by the clarinet when the mouth pressure is increased gradually to start a note from silence. Using results from dynamic bifur-cation theory, a prediction of the amplitude of the sound as a function of time is given based on a few parameters quantifying the time evolution of mouth pressure. As in previous uses of this model, the predictions are expected to be qualitatively consistent with simulations using the Raman model, and observations of real instruments. Model simulations for slowly variable parameters require very high precisions of computation. Similarly, any real system, even if close to the model would be affected by noise. In order to describe the influence of noise, a modified model is developed that includes a stochastic variation of the parameters. Both ideal and stochastic models are shown to attain a minimal amplitude at the static oscillation threshold. Beyond this point, the amplitude of the oscillations increases exponentially, although some time is required before the oscillations can be observed at the '' dynamic oscillation threshold ''. The effect of a sudden interruption of the growth of the mouth pressure is also studied, showing that it usually triggers a faster growth of the oscillations.

description: In undergraduate research experiences, student development of an identity as a scientist is coupled to their sense of ownership of their research projects. As a a first step towards studying similar connections in physics laboratory courses, we investigate student ownership of projects in a lasers-based upper-division course. Students spent the final seven weeks of the semester working in groups on final projects of their choosing. Using data from the Project Ownership Survey and weekly student reflections, we investigate student ownership as it relates to students' personal agency, self-efficacy, peer interactions, and complex affective responses to challenges and successes. We present evidence of students' project ownership in an upper-division physics lab. Additionally, we find that there is a complex relationship between student affect and their sense of ownership.

Optimal Error Estimates of A Decoupled Scheme Based on Two-Grid Finite Element for Mixed Stokes-Darcy Model
Creators: name: Hou, Yanren

description: Although the numerical results suggest the optimal convergence order of the two-grid finite element decoupled scheme for mixed Stokes-Darcy model with Beaver-Joseph-Saffman interface condition in literatures, the numerical analysis only get the optimal error order for porous media flow and a non-optimal error order that is half order lower than the optimal one in fluid flow. The purpose of this paper is to fill in the gap between the numerical results and the theoretical analysis. By introducing an $H^1-$ orthogonal decomposition of a specific vector valued space, we obtain the optimal error estimates of the velocity and pressure in fluid flow region.

description: In an effort to gather a list of best practices for user-centered design in virtual reality gaming interfaces, this study combines evidence from industry anecdotal observations, heuristic evaluations, and usability testing with three of the leading virtual reality platforms on the market: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from a variety of usability scales and questionnaires, think-aloud tasks, observation, and semi-structured interviews. The results of the study suggest that immersion is an effective design feature across all interfaces, however the lack of real-world awareness resulting from immersion can be a major usability concern. Pain-points included controller design and button mapping, physiological comfort, and adapting to new methods of movement and interaction required in 3D virtual environments. The findings emphasize the need to prioritize learnability in the design of VR systems. The paper concludes with fifteen guidelines for designing user-friendly virtual reality interfaces.

Quantum Resource Control for noisy EPR-steering with qubit measurements

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate how quantum optimal control can be used to enhance quantum resources for bipartite one-way protocols, specifically EPR-steering with qubit measurements. Steering is relevant for one-sided device-independent key distribution, the realistic implementations of which necessitate the study of noisy scenarios. So far mainly the case of imperfect detection efficiency has been considered; here we look at the effect of dynamical noise responsible for decoherence and dissipation. In order to set up the optimisation, we map the steering problem into the equivalent joint measurability problem, and employ quantum resource-theoretic robustness monotones from that context. The advantage is that incompatibility (hence steerability) with arbitrary pairs of noisy qubit measurements has been completely characterised through an analytical expression, which can be turned into a computable cost function with exact gradient. Furthermore, dynamical loss of incompatibility has recently been illustrated using these monotones. We demonstrate resource control numerically using a special gradient-based software, showing, in particular, the advantage over naive control with cost function chosen as a fidelity in relation to a specific target. We subsequently illustrate the complexity of the control landscapes with a simplified two-variable scheme. The results contribute to the theoretical understanding of the limitations in realistic implementations of quantum information protocols, also paving way to practical use of the rather abstract quantum resource theories.

description: The Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program is a cooperative measurement effort between the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), federal land management agencies, and state agencies. The network is designed to (1) establish current visibility and aerosol conditions in 156 mandatory Class I areas, (2) identify chemical species and emission sources responsible for existing anthropogenic visibility impairment, (3) document long-term trends for assessing progress towards the national visibility goal, and (4) provide regional haze monitoring representing all visibility-protected federal CIAs where practical. Although the program is focused on visibility objectives, the data acquired and the methodologies developed by the IMPROVE network have been broadly used to address air quality management related to human health, climate change, ecosystem degradation, and material damage. This report is the sixth in a series that describes the monitoring methods and changes to instrumentation over time, as well as reports on measured aerosol concentrations and aerosol-derived visibility estimates.

description: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been identified as having two sides like a coin whenused instructionally. While some scholars insist on the need to always prepare and deliver instructions using ICTs,others express worries over the pedagogical weaknesses thereof. This paper therefore x-rays the instructionalstrengths of ICTs to include; improving educational quality, enhancing access to education, easing collaboration,motivating learning, provision of remote learning resources, enhancing technological literacy, amongst others. Itfurther enumerates the weaknesses of ICTs in teaching and learning to include high cost of acquiring andmaintaining infrastructure and equipment, creation of inequality among learners, causing distraction amonglearners, encouraging cheating in examination and during assignments, exposing learners to technological hazards,inter alia. The paper proffers recommendations on how to effectively engage ICTs in teaching – learning tomaximize the potentials, amongst which are: adequate funding for ICT sector in every educational institution;identification of needs, goals and objectives; proper budgeting and planning; engaging stakeholders for awarenessand getting their inputs; ensuring safe and conducive environmental setting for the equipment; carrying outperiodic employment, training and re-training of man-power; putting in place robust plagiarism software tocheckmate theft of intellectual property; and providing detailed orientation for learners who are the end-users ofthe ICTs in the classrooms.

description: Goal models have been widely used in Computer Science to represent software requirements, business objectives, and design qualities. Existing goal modelling techniques, however, have shown limitations of expressiveness and/or tractability in coping with complex real-world problems. In this work, we exploit advances in automated reasoning technologies, notably Satisfiability and Optimization Modulo Theories (SMT/OMT), and we propose and formalize: (i) an extended modelling language for goals, namely the Constrained Goal Model (CGM), which makes explicit the notion of goal refinement and of domain assumption, allows for expressing preferences between goals and refinements, and allows for associating numerical attributes to goals and refinements for defining constraints and optimization goals over multiple objective functions, refinements and their numerical attributes; (ii) a novel set of automated reasoning functionalities over CGMs, allowing for automatically generating suitable refinements of input CGMs, under user-specified assumptions and constraints, that also maximize preferences and optimize given objective functions. We have implemented these modelling and reasoning functionalities in a tool, named CGM-Tool, using the OMT solver OptiMathSAT as automated reasoning backend. Moreover, we have conducted an experimental evaluation on large CGMs to support the claim that our proposal scales well for goal models with thousands of elements.

description: We investigate the stability of circular material orbits in the analytic galactic metric recently derived by Harko \textit{et al.} (2014). It turnsout that stability depends more strongly on the dark matter central density $%ρ_{0}$ than on other parameters of the solution. This property then yields an upper limit on $ρ_{0}$ for each individual galaxy, which we call here $ρ_{0}^{\text{upper}}$, such that stable circular orbits are possible \textit{only} when the constraint $ρ_{0}\leq ρ_{0}^{\text{upper}}$ is satisfied. This is our new result. To approximately quantify the upper limit, we consider as a familiar example our Milky Way galaxy that has a projected dark matter radius $R_{\text{DM}}\sim 180$ kpc and find that $ρ_{0}^{\text{upper}}\sim 2.37\times 10^{11}$ $M_{\odot }$kpc$^{-3}$. This limit turns out to be about four orders of magnitude larger than the latest data on central density $ρ_{0}$ arising from the fit to the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) and Burkert density profiles. Such consistency indicates that the EiBI solution could qualify as yet another viable alternative model for dark matter.

How Can Companies Give Voice and Support Family Transitions That Risk Being Invisible and Silent?
Creators: name: Bosoni, Maria Letizia

Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: In the contemporary social context, family transitions become increasingly challenging and affect not only the family life but also the whole social context. With the term “transition” we mean periods of crisis, resulting from an event that modifies in a very significant way personal and family life and requires a process of redefinition so that a new equilibrium can be found. Such transitions are often invisible, but inevitably impact on family and professional life. This topic was dealt within a broader mixed-method research project “Ageless Talents - An observatory on the condition of over 50 employed women and men” funded by Valore D (https://valored.it/), in Italy aimed at understanding personal and family transitions in the life of over 50 workers, in particular deepening personal experiences and motivations. By focus group methodology specific understanding of managing illness in the workplace has been done and it will be presented in this contribution. The participants gave a decisive contribution by putting themselves at stake, sharing their personal experience in an atmosphere of listening, interest, mutual respect, and gratitude for the possibility of being called to tell their experience. This fact immediately gave us back the urgency and importance of giving voice and a space of speech to topics that usually struggle to find a suitable time, space, and interlocutor.

description: We compute the QGP suppression of Upsilon(1s), Upsilon(2s), Upsilon(3s), chi_b1, and chi_b2 states in sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. Using the suppression of each of these states, we estimate the inclusive R_AA for the Upsilon(1s) and Upsilon(2s) states as a function of N_part, y, and p_T including the effect of excited state feed down. We find that our model provides a reasonable description of preliminary CMS results for the N_part-, y-, and p_T-dependence of R_AA for both the Upsilon(1s) and Upsilon(2s). Comparing to our previous model predictions, we find a flatter rapidity dependence, thereby reducing some of the tension between our model and ALICE forward-rapidity results for Upsilon(1s) suppression.

Division in Gender Roles During the Pandemic Crisis and Smart (Agile) Working

description: Gender inequality in domestic work still remains a major global issue, and it is particularly strong in Italy. Recent research (Istat, 2019) showed that Italy is the country with the greatest gender gap differences in Europe concerning time devoted to unpaid work. Agile work has recently received gotten considerable a lot of attention as being a possible solution to work-family conflict. During the COVID-19 crisis, Italy had one of the highest rises in the number of people partaking in agile work (Eurofound, 2020). Before the pandemic, only 10% of Italian people worked from home at least several times a week (compared to 15.8% on average in the EU-27), whereas 39.9% started working from home during the first wave of the pandemic (compared to 36.5% on average in the EU-27). This increase in agile working was higher for women (4.1% more than men) (RFL, 2020). Can forced agile working help to rebalance the roles of men and women in the Italian family? To try to answer this question, through this study, we aimed to ascertain if the massive gender disparity that characterizes Italy persisted during the lockdown when couples were compelled to stay home.

Mutual Learning: A Real Way to Cooperate? Evidence of More Equal International Development Cooperatio
Creators: name: Malacarne, Silvia
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: This contribution forms part of the recent debate on international development cooperation, which has been progressively brought to the fore through several interventions promoted by the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which have long proposed reflection on the value of cooperation aimed at promoting human development and protecting the fundamental rights of human beings. Within this changing landscape, the article aims to analyse the mutual learning concept emerging in the literature on development cooperation. Through a qualitative study based on the administration of 21 semi-structured interviews, this essay proposes a theoretical-empirical definition of mutual learning and explores two further aspects: the conditions that make it possible and its likely implications in practice. There are currently still very few sociological studies that cover mutual learning among cooperation partners. However, if the concept were investigated both theoretically and empirically, it could bring about a paradigm shift in cooperation that could help overcome the ethnocentric logic of colonial heritage, which sees cooperation exclusively as a means for economic aid transfer, and encourage the use of cooperation as a concrete tool for “doing together”. This would involve different actors who, through working in partnership, could enhance their starting resources and learn from each other.

Body and Sexuality in the Struggle for Recognition: The Nature-Nurture Debate in a New Social Imaginary
Creators: name: Di Nicola, Paola
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: The claims made by all social groups who do not identify with the dominant model of heteronormativity can be framed within the broader context of struggles for the recognition of cultural and identity rights pertaining to their sexuality. Such demands conform to Hegel’s classic pattern of recognition, later reworked by Honneth, with identity struggles that are variously private (construction of the self, self-confidence), public (self-worth, legal recognition) and community-based (respect for cultures epitomising a certain way of life). With their aim of enabling a just life to coexist with a good life, these claims enter the realm of communitarian theories. Indeed, despite the strong emphasis on safeguarding individual and subjective rights, a communitarian element is apparent inasmuch as these movements demand “different” laws to protect “different” subjects. Recognition and respect for diversity are embedded in the new narrative championed by neo-communitarians, which requires fragmentation of the legal system in order to take consistent shape. This article highlights the techniques which many of these groups have adopted in an attempt to avoid this drift towards communitarianism. In so doing, they have transcended the debate on nature (biology) and nurture (cultural norms) by creating a new narrative of body and sexuality which rejects the idea of biological difference and transforms their cultural diversity into a new normative order. Throughout history, narratives, social imaginaries, myths, traditions, and institutions have been built around the transformative process of male and female babies becoming men and women. These have shaped interpersonal relations between the sexes at every level of social reality. One essential element of the challenge posed by those fighting for the recognition of sexual rights is the creation of new narratives and a new social reality.

Interaction Forces Between Microfluidic Droplets in a Hele-Shaw Cell

description: Various microfluidic systems, such as chemical and biological lab-on-a-chip devices, involve motion of multiple droplets within an immersing fluid in shallow micro-channels. Modeling the dynamics of such systems requires calculation of the forces of interaction between the moving droplets. These forces are commonly approximated by superposition of dipoles solutions, which requires an assumption of sufficiently large distance between the droplets. In this work we obtain exact solutions (in the Hele-Shaw limit) for two moving droplets, and a droplet within a droplet, located within a moving immersing fluid, without limitation on the distance between the droplets. This is achieved by solution of the pressure field in a bi-polar coordinate system and calculation of the force in a Cartesian coordinate system. Our results are compared with numerical computations, experimental data and the existing dipole-based models. We utilize the results to calculate the dynamics of a droplet within a droplet, and of two close droplets, located within an immersing fluid with oscillating speed. The obtained results may be used to study the dynamics of dense droplet lattices, common to many microfluidic systems.
