description: Gravitational wave interferometers are complex instruments, requiring years of commissioning to achieve the required sensitivities for the detection of gravitational waves, of order 10^-21 in dimensionless detector strain, in the tens of Hz to several kHz frequency band. Investigations carried out by the GEO600 detector characterisation group have shown that detector characterisation techniques are useful when planning for commissioning work. At the time of writing, GEO600 is the only large scale laser interferometer currently in operation running with a high duty factor, 70%, limited chiefly by the time spent commissioning the detector. The number of observable gravitational wave sources scales as the product of the volume of space to which the detector is sensitive and the observation time, so the goal of commissioning is to improve the detector sensitivity with the least possible detector down time. We demonstrate a method for increasing the number of sources observable by such a detector, by assessing the severity of non-astrophysical noise contaminations to efficiently guide commissioning. This method will be particularly useful in the early stages and during the initial science runs of the aLIGO and adVirgo detectors, as they are brought up to design performance.

description: Agriculture in both Canada and the U.S. is going through a time of transition. The vast grain handling and transportation sector in each country is no different. The reasons for change are somewhat different across the two countries, but there are enough similarities to motivate a better understanding of the changes in this important agricultural and transportation sector. It is the goal of this research to explain as well as update the reader about the current and evolving situation in the grain handling systems in both countries. The two national rail systems are currently not very close to being integrated, but there remain signs that this could be a possible outcome from both a regulatory as well as an operations perspective. We let the reader judge for themselves where these changes will ultimately lead in this important and mature industry.

description: Robins (1997b) introduced marginal structural models (MSMs), a general class of counterfactual models for the joint effects of time-varying treatment regimes in complex longitudinal studies subject to time-varying confounding. In his work, identification of MSM parameters is established under a sequential randomization assumption (SRA), which rules out unmeasured confounding of treatment assignment over time. We consider sufficient conditions for identification of the parameters of a subclass, Marginal Structural Mean Models (MSMMs), when sequential randomization fails to hold due to unmeasured confounding, using instead a time-varying instrumental variable. Our identification conditions require that no unobserved confounder predicts compliance type for the time-varying treatment. We describe a simple weighted estimator and examine its finite-sample properties in a simulation study. We apply the proposed estimator to examine the effect of delivery hospital on neonatal survival probability.

description: Tunneling defects in disordered materials form spurious two-level systems which are a major source of decoherence for micro-fabricated quantum devices. For superconducting qubits, defects in tunnel barriers of submicrometer-sized Josephson junctions couple strongest to the qubit, which necessitates optimization of the junction fabrication to mitigate defect formation. Here, we investigate whether defects appear predominantly at the edges or deep within the amorphous tunnel barrier of a junction. For this, we compare defect densities in differently shaped Al/AlO$_x$/Al Josephson junctions that are part of a Transmon qubit. We observe that the number of detectable junction-defects is proportional to the junction area, and does not significantly scale with the junction's circumference, which proposes that defects are evenly distributed inside the tunnel barrier. Moreover, we find very similar defect densities in thermally grown tunnel barriers that were formed either directly after the base electrode was deposited, or in a separate deposition step after removal of native oxide by Argon ion milling.

description: We analyze 221 eclipsing binaries (EBs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud with B-type main-sequence (MS) primaries ($M_1$ $\approx$ 4 - 14 M$_{\odot}$) and orbital periods $P$ = 20 - 50 days that were photometrically monitored by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. We utilize our three-stage automated pipeline to (1) classify all 221 EBs, (2) fit physical models to the light curves of 130 detached well-defined EBs from which unique parameters can be determined, and (3) recover the intrinsic binary statistics by correcting for selection effects. We uncover two statistically significant trends with age. First, younger EBs tend to reside in dustier environments with larger photometric extinctions, an empirical relation that can be implemented when modeling stellar populations. Second, younger EBs generally have large eccentricities. This demonstrates that massive binaries at moderate orbital periods are born with a Maxwellian "thermal" orbital velocity distribution, which indicates they formed via dynamical interactions. In addition, the age-eccentricity anticorrelation provides a direct constraint for tidal evolution in highly eccentric binaries containing hot MS stars with radiative envelopes. The intrinsic fraction of B-type MS stars with stellar companions $q$ = $M_2$/$M_1$ $>$ 0.2 and orbital periods $P$ = 20 - 50 days is (7 $\pm$ 2)%. We find early-type binaries at $P$ = 20 - 50 days are weighted significantly toward small mass ratios $q$ $\approx$ 0.2 - 0.3, which is different than the results from previous observations of closer binaries with $P$ $

description: In intervention research, single-case experimental designs are an important way to gain insights into the causes of individual changes that yield high internal validity. They are commonly applied to examine the effectiveness of classroom-based interventions to reduce problem behavior in schools. At the same time, there is no consensus on good design characteristics of single-case experimental designs when dealing with behavioral problems in schools. Moreover, specific challenges arise concerning appropriate approaches to analyzing behavioral data. Our study addresses the interplay between the test power of piecewise regression analysis and important design specifications of single-case research designs. Here, we focus on the influence of the following specifications of single-case research designs: number of measurement times, the initial frequency of the behavior, intervention effect, and data trend. We conducted a Monte-Carlo study. First, simulated datasets were created with specific design conditions based on reviews of published single-case intervention studies. Following, data were analyzed using piecewise Poisson-regression models, and the influence of specific design specifications on the test power was investigated. Our results indicate that piecewise regressions have a high potential of adequately identifying the effects of interventions for single-case studies. At the same time, test power is strongly related to the specific design specifications of the single-case study: Few measurement times, especially in phase A, and low initial frequencies of the behavior make it impossible to detect even large intervention effects. Research designs with a high number of measurement times show robust power. The insights gained are highly relevant for researchers in the field, as decisions during the early stage of conceptualizing and planning single-case experimental design studies may impact the chance to identify an existing intervention effect during the research process correctly.

Pre-relaxation in weakly interacting models

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We consider time evolution in models close to integrable points with hidden symmetries that generate infinitely many local conservation laws that do not commute with one another. The system is expected to (locally) relax to a thermal ensemble if integrability is broken, or to a so-called generalised Gibbs ensemble if unbroken. In some circumstances expectation values exhibit quasi-stationary behaviour long before their typical relaxation time. For integrability-breaking perturbations, these are also called pre-thermalisation plateaux, and emerge e.g. in the strong coupling limit of the Bose-Hubbard model. As a result of the hidden symmetries, quasi-stationarity appears also in integrable models, for example in the Ising limit of the XXZ model. We investigate a weak coupling limit, identify a time window in which the effects of the perturbations become significant and solve the time evolution through a mean-field mapping. As an explicit example we study the XYZ spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ chain with additional perturbations that break integrability. One of the most intriguing results of the analysis is the appearance of persistent oscillatory behaviour. To unravel its origin, we study in detail a toy model: the transverse-field Ising chain with an additional nonlocal interaction proportional to the square of the transverse spin per unit length [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 197203 (2013)]. Despite being nonlocal, this belongs to a class of models that emerge as intermediate steps of the mean-field mapping and shares many dynamical properties with the weakly interacting models under consideration.

description: We investigate the possibility of detecting the 3D cross correlation power spectrum of the Ly-$α$ forest and HI 21 cm signal from the post reionization epoch. The cross-correlation signal is directly dependent on the dark matter power spectrum and is sensitive to the 21-cm brightness temperature and Ly-$α$ forest biases. These bias parameters dictate the strength of anisotropy in redshift space. We find that the cross-correlation power spectrum can be detected using $400 ~ \, \rm hrs$ observation with SKA-mid (phase 1) and a futuristic BOSS like experiment with a quasar (QSO) density of $30 ~ \rm deg^{-2}$ at a peak SNR of $15$ for a single field experiment at redshift $z = 2.5$. We also study the possibility of constraining various bias parameters using the cross power spectrum. We find that with the same experiment $1 σ$ conditional errors on the 21-cm linear redshift space distortion parameter $β_T$ and $β_{F}$ corresponding to the Ly-$α$ forest are $\sim 2.7\%$ and $\sim 1.4 \%$ respectively for $10$ independent pointings of the SKA-mid (phase 1). This prediction indicates a significant improvement over existing measurements. We claim that the detection of the 3D cross correlation power spectrum will not only ascertain the cosmological origin of the signal in presence of astrophysical foregrounds but will also provide stringent constraints on large scale HI biases. This provides an independent probe towards understanding cosmological structure formation.

description: We analyze the following version of the deterministic \hats game. We have a graph $G$, and a sage resides at each vertex of $G$. When the game starts, an adversary puts on the head of each sage a hat of a color arbitrarily chosen from a set of $k$ possible colors. Each sage can see the hat colors of his neighbors but not his own hat color. All of sages are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The strategy is winning if it guarantees at least one correct individual guess for every assignment of colors. Given a graph $G$, its hat guessing number ${\text{HG}}(G)$ is the maximal number $k$ such that there exists a winning strategy. We disprove the hypothesis that ${\text{HG}}(G) \le Δ+ 1$ and demonstrate that diameter of graph and ${\text{HG}}(G$) are independent.

This technology is commonly known as Hybrid Manufacturing (HM). There are many advantages to combining processes that can produce synergy. For Hybrid Manufacturing (HM), having one cell that can precisely deposit and remove material is advantageous.

description: We consider a two-Higgs doublet scenario containing three $SU(2)_L$ singlet heavy neutrinos with Majorana masses. The second scalar doublet as well as the neutrinos are odd under a $Z_2$ symmetry. This scenario not only generates Majorana masses for the light neutrinos radiatively but also makes the lighter of the neutral $Z_2$-odd scalars an eligible dark matter candidate, in addition to triggering leptogenesis at the scale of the heavy neutrino masses. Taking two representative values of this mass scale, we identify the allowed regions of the parameter space of the model, which are consistent with all dark matter constraints. At the same time, the running of quartic couplings in the scalar potential to high scales is studied, thus subjecting the regions consistent with dark matter constraints to further requirements of vacuum stability, perturbativity and unitarity. It is found that part of the parameter space is consistent with all of these requirements all the way up to the Planck scale, and also yields the correct signal strength in the diphoton channel for the scalar observed at the Large Hadron Collider.

description: Background: Primary vasculitides are very rare diseases and distribution of vasculitides differ according to geographic region. Since October 2014, vasculitis patients diagnosed in any departments of Hacettepe University Hospitals are prospectively recorded in University Vasculitis Research Centre (HUVAC) database. Distribution of patients at 2nd year was presented in 2017. This study is aimed to report the 7th year results and to compare with them with 2nd year data. Methods: All patients are re-evaluated according to the 2012 revised Chapel Hill nomenclature criteria. Pediatric patients fulfilled the Ankara 2008 criteria for the respective childhood vasculitis. Electronic patient records are periodically searched for the possible vasculitis patients having any of the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) code for the particular vasculitides. Recently we are also recording vasculitis mimickers. Results: A total of 2464 patients were recruited until 24th November 2021. 514 (20.9%) of them were pediatric patients. The most frequently seen vasculitis among adult patients was Behcet's Disease whereas in pediatric patients it was HSP/IgA Vasculitis (Table). Granulomatous polyangiitis (GPA) was the most common small vessel vasculitis in adults. Takayasu arteritis was more frequent than giant cell arteritis among the adult patients. No differences was found in the comparison of distribution of vasculitides 2nd year with 7th year (p>0.05 for all). Conclusions: Distribution of vasculitides at 2nd and 7th year was similar. Thus we suggest that this is a true reflection of vasculitides in our country. Behcet's Disease is the most frequent vasculitis as expected. However, Takayasu arteritis is more common than GCA in adult patients. GPA is the most common small vessel vasculitis in adulthood. IgA vasculitis and Kawasaki’s disease were frequently seen paediatric vasculitis. Disclosures: No disclosures related to this abstract.

description: We describe the conductance of a normal-superconducting junction in systems with Landau levels that preserve time reversal symmetry. Those Landau levels have been observed in strained honeycomb lattices. The current is carried along the edges in both the normal and superconducting regions. When the Landau levels in the normal region are half-filled, Andreev reflection is maximal and the conductance plateaus have a peak as a function of filling factor. The height of those peaks is quantized at $4e^{2}/h$. The interface of the junction has Andreev edge states, which form a coherent superposition of electrons and holes that can carry a net valley current. We identify unique experimental signatures for superconductivity in time reversal invariant Landau levels.

Riemann solvers and pressure gradients in Godunov-type schemes for variable density incompressible flows

description: Variable density incompressible flows are governed by parabolic equations. The artificial compressibility method makes these equations hyperbolic-type, which means that they can be solved using techniques developed for compressible flows, such as Godunov-type schemes. While the artificial compressibility method is well-established, its application to variable density flows has been largely neglected in the literature. This paper harnesses recent advances in the wider field by applying a more robust Riemann solver and a more easily parallelisable time discretisation to the variable density equations than previously. We also develop a new method for calculating the pressure gradient as part of the second-order reconstruction step. Based on a rearrangement of the momentum equation and an exploitation of the other gradients and source terms, the new pressure gradient calculation automatically captures the pressure gradient discontinuity at the free surface. Benchmark tests demonstrate the improvements gained by this robust Riemann solver and new pressure gradient calculation.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The analysis of the Kepler light curves of red-giant stars revealed a few hundred stars
 with low-amplitude dipole modes. Various mechanisms that could damp the modes have
 been proposed including a magnetic field in the core, a peculiar internal structure, or binarity. However, none of these hypotheses have been confirmed.
 To gain insight into the damping mechanism we investigate the peak properties (linewidths
 and amplitudes) of the radial oscillation modes. Since it remains unclear if and how these
 modes are affected, they can provide additional constraints on the damping mechanism. We
 compared the radial mode properties of suppressed dipole mode red giants with the proper-
 ties of a control sample. We present the results of this comparison and its consequences for
 the proposed hypotheses.

The main idea is to identify the sequences of Kronecker coefficients in question with Hilbert functions of modules over finitely generated algebras. The proof only uses Schur-Weyl duality and the Borel-Weil theorem and does not rely on any existing work on Kronecker coefficients.

description: Background: Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary systemic vasculitis in adults, occurring in individuals over age 50, most frequently in women (3:1, F:M) and in those of Northern European descent. While genetic factors likely contribute to the increased incidence in Northern Europe, environmental triggers are also likely to play a role. Cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in incidence have been demonstrated in some cohorts. It is plausible that environmental triggers may play a role in inducing vascular inflammation but may also contribute to the differing patterns of disease seen in GCA. Aim: The objective of this study is to investigate the seasonal variation in the incidence of GCA. Methods: This study used data from the St Vincent’s University Hospital GCA registry of 340 patients who were prospectively recruited from three hospital sites, in Dublin, over a 7-year period. We looked at month and year of onset of GCA symptoms and the variation in clinical phenotype at diagnosis, investigating for trends based on season of diagnosis. Results: We had complete data for 5 years: 2012-2016 inclusive. Over these 5 years, 306 patients were diagnosed with GCA, 65% females and 35% males with a mean age of 71. Based on the date of onset of symptoms, we found an overall peak in the incidence of GCA in late spring / early summer and another smaller peak in late autumn / early winter. 64% presented with uncomplicated cranial GCA, 22% of patients had an ischaemic complication at diagnosis, 11% of patients presented with PMR with subclinical vasculitis and 3% with only constitutional symptoms. We did not observe any seasonal variation in these phenotypes. Conclusion: We found a seasonal variation in the incidence of GCA with peaks in the late spring / early summer and late autumn / early winter. Following on from this study, by using data from the international TABUL and DC VAS datasets, we aim to investigate further the seasonal, cyclical and geographical variation in incidence in GCA.

description: In this work we consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) system, which senses multiple spatial directions and serves multiple users. Upon resorting to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission format and a differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation, we study the design of the radiated waveforms and of the receive filters employed by the radar and the users. The approach is communication-centric, in the sense that a radar-oriented objective is optimized under constraints on the average transmit power, the power leakage towards specific directions, and the error rate of each user, thus safeguarding the communication quality of service (QoS). We adopt a unified design approach allowing a broad family of radar objectives, including both estimation- and detection-oriented merit functions. We devise a suboptimal solution based on alternating optimization of the involved variables, a convex restriction of the feasible search set, and minorization-maximization, offering a single algorithm for all of the radar merit functions in the considered family. Finally, the performance is inspected through numerical examples.

description: Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) algorithms require novel paradigms of error mitigation. To obtain noise-robust quantum computers, each logical qubit is equipped with hundreds or thousands of physical qubits. However, it is not possible to use memory-consuming techniques for current quantum devices having at most hundreds or at best thousands of physical qubits on their own. For specific problems, valid quantum states have a unique structure as in the case of Fock states and W-states where the Hamming weight is fixed, and the evolution takes place in a smaller subspace of the full Hilbert space. With this pre-knowledge, some errors can be detected in the course of the evolution of the circuit, by filtering the states not obeying the pattern through post-selection. In this paper, we present mid-circuit post-selection schemes for frequently used encodings such as one-hot, binary, gray, and domain-wall encoding. For the particular subspace of one-hot states, we propose a method that works by compressing the full Hilbert space to a smaller subspace, allowing projecting to the desired subspace without using any ancilla qubits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for the Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz algorithm. Our method is particularly suitable for the currently available hardware, where measuring and resetting is possible, but classical control conditional operators are not.

description: We present numerical simulations of scattering-type Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (s-SNOM) of 1D plasmonic graphene junctions. A comprehensive analysis of simulated s-SNOM spectra is performed for three types of junctions. We find conditions when the conventional interpretation of the plasmon reflection coefficients from s-SNOM measurements does not apply. Our results are applicable to other conducting 2D materials and provide a comprehensive understanding of the s-SNOM techniques for probing local transport properties of 2D materials.

description: Achieving short-distance flight helps improve the efficiency of humanoid robots moving in complex environments (e.g., crossing large obstacles or reaching high places) for rapid emergency missions. This study proposes a design of a flying humanoid robot named Jet-HR2. The robot has 10 joints driven by brushless motors and harmonic drives for locomotion. To overcome the challenge of the stable-attitude takeoff in small thrust-to-weight conditions, the robot was designed based on the concept of thrust vectoring. The propulsion system consists of four ducted fans, that is, two fixed on the waist of the robot and the other two mounted on the feet, for thrust vector control. The thrust vector is controlled by adjusting the attitude of the foot during the flight. A simplified model and control strategies are proposed to solve the problem of attitude instability caused by mass errors and joint position errors during takeoff. The experimental results show that the robot's spin and dive behaviors during takeoff were effectively suppressed by controlling the thrust vector of the ducted fan on the foot. The robot successfully achieved takeoff at a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.17 (17 kg / 20 kg) and maintained a stable attitude, reaching a takeoff height of over 1000 mm.

The Anyon Hubbard Model in One-Dimensional Optical Lattices

description: Raman-assisted hopping may be used to realize the anyon Hubbard model in one-dimensional optical lattices. We propose a feasible scenario that significantly improves the proposal of [T. Keilmann et al., Nature Commun. 2, 361 (2011)], allowing as well for an exact realization of the two-body hard-core constraint, and for controllable effective interactions without the need of Feshbach resonances. We show that the combination of anyonic statistics and two-body hard-core constraint leads to a rich ground state physics, including Mott insulators with attractive interactions, pair superfluids, dimer phases, and multicritical points. Moreover, the anyonic statistics results in a novel two-component superfluid of holon and doublon dimers, characterized by a large but finite compressibility and a multipeaked momentum distribution, which may be easily revealed experimentally.

Linear irreversible heat engines based on the local equilibrium assumptions

description: We formulate an endoreversible finite-time Carnot cycle model based on the assumptions of local equilibrium and constant energy flux, where the efficiency and the power are expressed in terms of the thermodynamic variables of the working substance. By analyzing the entropy production rate caused by the heat transfer in each isothermal process during the cycle, and using an endoreversible condition applied to the linear response regime, we identify the thermodynamic flux and force of the present system and obtain a linear relation that connects them. We calculate the efficiency at maximum power in the linear response regime by using the linear relation, which agrees with the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency known as the upper bound in this regime. This reason is also elucidated by rewriting our model into the form of the Onsager relations, where our model turns out to satisfy the tight-coupling condition leading to the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency.

description: Writing exploits for security assessment is a challenging task. The writer needs to master programming and obfuscation techniques to develop a successful exploit. To make the task easier, we propose an approach (EVIL) to automatically generate exploits in assembly/Python language from descriptions in natural language. The approach leverages Neural Machine Translation (NMT) techniques and a dataset that we developed for this work. We present an extensive experimental study to evaluate the feasibility of EVIL, using both automatic and manual analysis, and both at generating individual statements and entire exploits. The generated code achieved high accuracy in terms of syntactic and semantic correctness.

Doping dependence of the critical fluctuation regime in the Fe-based superconductor Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$

description: We investigate the importance of superconducting order parameter fluctuations in the 122 family of Fe-based superconductors, using high-resolution specific heat and thermal expansion data of various Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals covering a large range of the phase diagram from the strongly underdoped to the overdoped regime. By applying scaling relations of the 3d-XY and the 3d-Lowest-Landau-Level (3d-LLL) fluctuation models to data measured in different magnetic fields, we demonstrate that a strong increase of the critical fluctuation regime is responsible for the transition broadening in magnetic fields, which is a direct consequence of a magnetic-field-induced finite size effect due to a reduction of the effective dimensionality by a decreasing magnetic length scale related to the mean vortex separation and the confinement of quasiparticles in low Landau levels. The fluctuations are stronger in the underdoped and overdoped regimes and appear to be weakest at optimal doping.
