description: We study the impact of the finite-size effect on the continuous-variable measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (CV-MDI QKD) protocol, mainly considering the finite-size effect on the parameter estimation procedure. The central-limit theorem and maximum likelihood estimation theorem are used to estimate the parameters. We also analyze the relationship between the number of exchanged signals and the optimal modulation variance in the protocol. It is proved that when Charlie's position is close to Bob, the CV-MDI QKD protocol has the farthest transmission distance in the finite-size scenario. Finally, we discuss the impact of finite-size effects related to the practical detection in the CV-MDI QKD protocol. The overall results indicate that the finite-size effect has a great influence on the secret key rate of the CV-MDI QKD protocol and should not be ignored.

description: Topological superconductors are an intriguing and elusive quantum phase, characterized by topologically protected gapless surface/edge states residing in a bulk superconducting gap, which hosts Majorana fermions. Unfortunately, all currently known topological superconductors have a very low transition temperature, limiting experimental measurements of Majorana fermions. Here we discover the existence of a topological Dirac-nodal-line state in a well-known conventional high-temperature superconductor, MgB2. First-principles calculations show that the Dirac-nodal-line structure exhibits a unique one-dimensional dispersive Dirac-nodal line, protected by both spatial-inversion and time-reversal symmetry, which connects the electron and hole Dirac states. Most importantly, we show that the topological superconducting phase can be realized with a conventional s-wave superconducting gap, evidenced by the topological edge mode of the MgB2 thin films showing chiral edge states. Our discovery may enable the experimental measurement of Majorana fermions at high temperature.

description: We present results from an emission code that assumes millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to be sources of relativistic particles in globular clusters (GCs) and models the resulting spectral energy distribution (SED) of Galactic GCs due to these particle's interaction with the cluster magnetic and soft-photon fields. We solve a transport equation for leptons and calculate inverse Compton (IC) and synchrotron radiation (SR) to make predictions for the flux expected from Galactic GCs. We perform a parameter study and also constrain model parameters for three GCs using gamma-ray and X-ray data. We next study the detectability of 16 Galactic GCs for the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) and the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), ranking them according to their predicted TeV flux. The spectrum of each cluster and therefore the detectability ranking is very sensitive to the choice of parameters. We expect H.E.S.S. to detect two more GCs (in addition to Terzan 5), i.e., 47 Tucanae and NGC 6388, if these clusters are observed for 100 hours. The five most promising GCs for CTA are NGC 6388, 47 Tucanae, Terzan 5, Djorg 2, and Terzan 10. We lastly expect CTA to detect more than half of the known Galactic GCs population, depending on observation time and model parameters.

description: Paradigm shift in thinking about open science has resulted in the development of open science policies all over the world. Funders of science have here taken a firm initiative, because they expect that the projects they are financing would bring maximum long-term benefit for society. In the academic world, the key role is performed by researchers. Research publications and the underlying data form the most valuable property of a researcher, determining their academic career. Quality of research results can adequately be measured only when the underlying data can be accessed, interpreted and re-used either in replicate research or as a basis for new hypotheses. Today, the obvious and personal benefits of the researcher in sharing their research data are rather small; mostly, researchers are aware of the loss of time and resources related to archiving and sharing of data. In Estonia, the open science policy is still largely in formation. Since 2009, the University of Tartu Library has been advocating the principles of open science. The Library joined DataCite in 2015 and started to offer research data management-related services and training courses to Estonian librarians and researchers. The practices of research data management in Estonia have not yet been thoroughly studied and established. A web-based pilot survey “Research Data Management and Sharing Practices among the University of Tartu Researchers and Doctoral Students in the Fields of Natural and Exact Sciences and Social Sciences” was carried out in spring 2016. The results were analysed by using quantitative methods. The survey and analysis were motivated by the need for mapping and recording the current situation in how the University of Tartu researchers and doctoral students collect, preserve, share and re-use research data. It was necessary to find out what kind of additional information on the subject is still needed, as well as to identify the main obstacles and, finally, to discover which are the benefits of data sharing as seen by researchers. In general, the idea of open science was welcomed by respondents. My paper examines the outcomes of the survey, describing the situation where the researchers do not have the support of national and institutional guidelines in research data management. Results of the survey will help us in developing research data management-related services at the University of Tartu Library, and will also allow us to offer advice to the Estonian Research Council about the drawing up of the Open Data policy in Estonia.
The Effect of Convection on Solar-type Pulsations
Creators: name: Houdek, Günter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: I shall provide an overview of our current understanding of modelling energy exchange between stellar convection and acoustic oscillations in stars supporting solar-type pulsations. Stellar calculations, adopting a 1D, non-local, time-dependent convection model, are calibrated against seismic observations and 3D-simulation results. These stellar models are tested against data from the Sun and from Kepler main-sequence stars. This provides insight into the physical processes that determine energy transport in the outer stellar layers leading to more accurate calculations of pulsation frequencies and their damping rates, as well as to more realistic predictions of oscillation amplitude ratios and phases.

The concepts we introduce are explicitly computed for the D=2 case but transfer immediately to higher dimensions. In this article we define and verify a criterion that monitors, at finite resolution defined by a cubic lattice, whether the flow approaches a rotationally invariant fixed point.

description: We present a theoretical description of resonant radiofrequency (RF) deflecting cavities in TM$_{110}$ mode as dynamic optical elements for ultrafast electron microscopy. We first derive the optical transfer matrix of an ideal pillbox cavity and use a Courant-Snyder formalism to calculate the 6D phase space propagation of a Gaussian electron distribution through the cavity. We derive closed, analytic expressions for the increase in transverse emittance and energy spread of the electron distribution. We demonstrate that for the special case of a beam focused in the center of the cavity, the low emittance and low energy spread of a high quality beam can be maintained, which allows high-repetition rate, ultrafast electron microscopy with 100 fs temporal resolution combined with the atomic resolution of a high-end TEM. This is confirmed by charged particle tracking simulations using a realistic cavity geometry, including fringe fields at the cavity entrance and exit apertures.

description: We present the Census of the Local Universe (CLU) narrow-band survey to search for emission-line (\ha) galaxies. CLU-\ha~has imaged $\approx$3$π$ of the sky (26,470~deg$^2$) with 4 narrow-band filters that probe a distance out to 200~Mpc. We have obtained spectroscopic follow-up for galaxy candidates in 14 preliminary fields (101.6~deg$^2$) to characterize the limits and completeness of the survey. In these preliminary fields, CLU can identify emission lines down to an \ha~flux limit of $10^{-14}$~$\rm{erg~s^{-1}~cm^{-2}}$ at 90\% completeness, and recovers 83\% (67\%) of the \ha~flux from catalogued galaxies in our search volume at the $Σ$=2.5 ($Σ$=5) color excess levels. The contamination from galaxies with no emission lines is 61\% (12\%) for $Σ$=2.5 ($Σ$=5). Also, in the regions of overlap between our preliminary fields and previous emission-line surveys, we recover the majority of the galaxies found in previous surveys and identify an additional $\approx$300 galaxies. In total, we find 90 galaxies with no previous distance information, several of which are interesting objects: 7 blue compact dwarfs, 1 green pea, and a Seyfert galaxy; we also identified a known planetary nebula. These objects show that the CLU-\ha~survey can be a discovery machine for objects in our own Galaxy and extreme galaxies out to intermediate redshifts. However, the majority of the CLU-\ha~galaxies identified in this work show properties consistent with normal star-forming galaxies. CLU-\ha~galaxies with new redshifts will be added to existing galaxy catalogs to focus the search for the electromagnetic counterpart to gravitational wave events.

On the Bayesian calibration of expensive computer models with input dependent parameters

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017

description: Computer models, aiming at simulating a complex real system, are often calibrated in the light of data to improve performance. Standard calibration methods assume that the optimal values of calibration parameters are invariant to the model inputs. In several real world applications where models involve complex parametrizations whose optimal values depend on the model inputs, such an assumption can be too restrictive and may lead to misleading results. We propose a fully Bayesian methodology that produces input dependent optimal values for the calibration parameters, as well as it characterizes the associated uncertainties via posterior distributions. Central to methodology is the idea of formulating the calibration parameter as a step function whose uncertain structure is modeled properly via a binary treed process. Our method is particularly suitable to address problems where the computer model requires the selection of a sub-model from a set of competing ones, but the choice of the `best' sub-model may change with the input values. The method produces a selection probability for each sub-model given the input. We propose suitable reversible jump operations to facilitate the challenging computations. We assess the performance of our method against benchmark examples, and use it to analyze a real world application with a large-scale climate model.
7.3 LibChain – Open, Verifiable and Anonymous Access Management

description: Current contracts between academic publishers and research libraries are based on subscription models, granting patrons of a library almost unlimited access the digital publications of a single publisher. Unfortunately, pricing models often do not correspond to the usage of the publishers’ content. As a consequence, several German research libraries canceled their subscription of Elsevier’s publications. In this paper, we present LibChain, a decentral, verifiable and anonymous access management based on blockchain technology. LibChain envisions a novel procedure to access digital media from different publishers through a library. With the LibChain service, the library stores every request of a digital publication directly in the blockchain, making it an anonymous but verifiable source for publishers to provide access to the user. The decentral blockchain architecture enables new access models for digital media and allows fairer and more accurate pricing models based on the usage. LibChain unleashes the full potential if multiple libraries cooperate to create trustworthy usage metrics or share the access to digital publications. As a design principle of the underlying blockchain technology, no mutual trust is required to generate verifiable transactions. We explicitly promote open access publications in our system design by providing verifiable usage metrics among distributed libraries and enable anonymous compensations and donations. In addition to a fully described programming interface for established publishers, we provide a standalone toolkit for conferences and smaller research institutes. Hence, small groups of authors can easily contribute to the LibChain universe and act as their own open access publisher. The implementation of our research prototype is based on the open source blockchain framework ethereum. The key advantages of LibChain are: First, it provides a distributed, failure tolerant mechanism for free, open and anonymous access to content that can be used out-of-the-box by anyone. Second, it is compatible to conventional business models, where publishers sell their content for a predefined price. This compatibility is aimed to accelerate the adoption of LibChain by maximising network-external value by integrating the open access and payed publication segments. Third, LibChain provides a reliable way to measure the impact of content and realise payments, since due to its blockchain core, all interactions with LibChain can be verified. Fourth, LibChain balances the access to information relevant to content providers and the privacy needs of users. Given these advantages, LibChain has the potential to accelerate the shift to an open access publication model that provides a robust, distributed content exchange mechanism and substantially higher utility than conventional models to all involved parties.

Quantum correlations in periodically driven spin chains: Revivals and steady-state properties

description: We study the dynamics of microscopic quantum correlations, viz., bipartite entanglement and quantum discord between nearest neighbor sites, in Ising spin chain with a periodically varying external magnetic field along the transverse direction. Quantum correlations exhibit periodic revivals with the driving cycles in the finite-size chain. The time of first revival is proportional to the system size and is inversely proportional to the maximum group velocity of Floquet quasi-particles. On the other hand, the local quantum correlations in the infinite chain may get saturated to non-zero values after a sufficiently large number of driving cycles. Moreover, we investigate the convergence of local density matrices, from which the quantum correlations under study originate, towards the final steady-state density matrices as a function of driving cycles. We find that the geometric distance, $d$, between the reduced density matrices of non-equilibrium state and steady-state obeys a power-law scaling of the form $d \sim n^{-B}$, where $n$ is the number of driving cycles and $B$ is the scaling exponent. The steady-state quantum correlations are studied as a function of time period of the driving field and are marked by the presence of prominent peaks in frequency domain. The steady-state features can be further understood by probing band structures of Floquet Hamiltonian and purity of the bipartite state between nearest neighbor sites. Finally, we compare the steady-state values of the local quantum correlations with that of the canonical Gibbs ensemble and infer about their canonical ergodic properties. Moreover, we identify generic features in the ergodic properties depending upon the quantum phases of the initial state and the pathway of repeated driving that may be within the same quantum phase or across two different equilibrium phases.

8.1 Open Science is Built on Trust…How about our Library Organisation?
Creators: name: van Otegem, Matthijs
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017
Subjects: Open Science, trust, library, organisation

description: As we move into open science the nature of the library changes. As a consequence our library organization should change as well. In a knowledge economy trust is a key ingredient: it is a pillar in the open science movement. To be successful in open science, we need to incorporate trust in our library culture. At Rotterdam university library we took up the challenge. We want to be flexible, open, digital and entrepreneurial, but our current organizational models do not fit this need. We have moved from an inward looking, task-oriented organization into a result driven culture, but this does not seem to be the solution. We managed to get great projects done in a short time. Yet, people in libraries do not work for carrots and sticks: they are in the library field because they feel it is worthwhile to commit themselves to this cause. If we continue our result driven approach we would drive out the soul of our organization. How would our organization look like if we would build it entirely on trust? In Rotterdam we started this journey. First of all, we put the cause central in our vision rather than tasks or results. We trust our colleagues to be committed and capable to do what is needed and what is right. Our colleagues can decide which projects contribute best to our cause, they can decide about the means -time, budgets- needed. They have all the information needed for decisions at hand, as we do not have any confidential information (except for information that legally cannot be shared). And then they can decide for themselves. Decisions are made, also by the director, when at least three relevant colleagues have been consulted for advice. We are totally flexible: you have a job… but that does not mean you have work. People can take the role they think is needed and they aspire. This has released a lot of energy: you can bring your entire self to work when you feel that what you do is right and meaningful. I wish we would all have this experience and I want to share it with you.

description: Over the past decade, the global cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity has grown exponentially, reaching 591 GW in 2019. Rapid progress was driven in large part by improvements in solar cell and module efficiencies, reduction in manufacturing costs and the realization of levelized costs of electricity that are now generally less than other energy sources and approaching similar costs with storage included. Given this success, it is a particularly fitting time to assess the state of the photovoltaics field and the technology milestones that must be achieved to maximize future impact and forward momentum. This roadmap outlines the critical areas of development in all of the major PV conversion technologies, advances needed to enable terawatt-scale PV installation, and cross-cutting topics on reliability, characterization, and applications. Each perspective provides a status update, summarizes the limiting immediate and long-term technical challenges and highlights breakthroughs that are needed to address them. In total, this roadmap is intended to guide researchers, funding agencies and industry in identifying the areas of development that will have the most impact on PV technology in the upcoming years.

description: Background and aims: Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is causal risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and LDL-associated variables including LDL-C, apolipoprotein B (apoB), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), lipoprotein a [Lp(a)], small dense LDL (sd-LDL), and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) have been widely used for predicting the risk of CAD. This study was aimed to compare the values of six LDL-related variables for predicting the severity of CAD using untreated patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG). Methods: A group of 1977 individuals were consecutively enrolled and divided into CAD (n = 1151) and non-CAD groups (n = 826) according to the results of CAG. LDL-C, apoB, non-HDL-C, Lp(a), sd-LDL and ox-LDL were measured, respectively. The numbers of stenotic arteries and Gensini Scores (GS) were used to calculate the severity of CAD and the associations of six variables with the severity of CAD and predicting value of these parameters were simultaneously examined. Results: CAD patients had significantly higher concentrations of LDL-related variables than non-CAD ones (all p < 0.05). Importantly, all variables rose with the increase in the severity of CAD. The predicting value of CAD manifested as sd-LDL > ox-LDL > apoB > non-HDL-C > LDL-C > Lp(a) [area under curve (AUC): sd-LDL 0.641; ox-LDL 0.640; apoB 0.611; non-HDL-C 0.587; LDL-C 0.583; Lp(a) 0.554; respectively]. In multivariate logistic analysis, all variables showed as independent risk factors for the severity of CAD [odds ratio (OR): ox-LDL > sd-LDL > apoB > non-HDL-C > LDL-C > Lp(a)]. Conclusions: All of LDL-related variables could be useful marker for predicting the severity of CAD but sd-LDL and ox-LDL appeared to litter better. Further study may be needed to validate our results.

description: We investigate whether the intrinsic spin of neutron stars leaves an observable imprint on the spectral properties of X-ray binaries. To evaluate this we consider a sample of nine NSs for which the spins have been measured that are not accreting pulsars (for which the accretion geometry will be different). For each source, we perform spectroscopy on a majority of RXTE hard state observations. Our sample of sources and observations spans the range of the Eddington ratios Lx/Ledd ~0.005-0.100. We find a clear trend between key Comptonization properties and the NS spin for a given accretion rate. Specifically, at a given Lx/Ledd, for more rapidly rotating NSs we find lower seed photon temperatures and a general increase in Comptonization strength, as parametrised by the Comptonization y parameter and amplification factor A. This is in good agreement with the theoretical scenario whereby less energy is liberated in a boundary layer for more rapidly spinning NSs, resulting in a lower seed photon luminosity and, consequently, less Compton cooling in the corona. This effect in extremis results in the hard states of the most rapidly spinning sources encroaching upon the regime of Comptonization properties occupied by BHs.

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: In this note, we show that a nontrivial, compact, degenerate or nondegenerate, gradient Einstein-type manifold of constant scalar curvature is isometric to the standard sphere with a well defined potential function. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the noncompact case is also treated. In this case, the main result is that a homogeneous, proper, noncompact, nondegenerate, gradient Einstein-type manifold is an Einstein manifold.

The Single Particle Excitation Spectrum of Degenerate Fermi gases in a ring cavity
Creators: name: Feng, Chao

description: By considering a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ degenerate Fermi gases in a ring cavity where strong interaction between atoms and light gives rise to a superradiance, we find the cavity dissipation could cause a severe broadening in some special cases, breaking down the quasi-particle picture which was constantly assumed in mean field theory studies. This broadening happens when the band gap resonant with polariton excitation energy. Interestingly enough, this broadening is highly spin selective depending on how the fermions are filled and the spectrum becomes asymmetric due to dissipation. Further, a non-monotonous dependence of the maximal broadening of the spectrum against cavity decay rate $κ$ is found and the largest broadening emerges at $κ$ comparable to recoil energy.

description: This paper considers two important problems -- on the supply-side and demand-side respectively and studies both in a unified framework. On the supply side, we study the problem of energy sharing among microgrids with the goal of maximizing profit obtained from selling power while at the same time not deviating much from the customer demand. On the other hand, under shortage of power, this problem becomes one of deciding the amount of power to be bought with dynamically varying prices. On the demand side, we consider the problem of optimally scheduling the time-adjustable demand - i.e., of loads with flexible time windows in which they can be scheduled. While previous works have treated these two problems in isolation, we combine these problems together and provide a unified Markov decision process (MDP) framework for these problems. We then apply the Q-learning algorithm, a popular model-free reinforcement learning technique, to obtain the optimal policy. Through simulations, we show that the policy obtained by solving our MDP model provides more profit to the microgrids.
Self-consistent theory for the linear and nonlinear propagation of a sinusoidal electron plasma wave. Application to stimulated Raman scattering in a non-uniform and non-stationary plasma

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we address the theoretical resolution of the Vlasov-Gauss system from the linear regime to the strongly nonlinear one, when significant trapping has occurred. The electric field is that of a sinusoidal electron plasma wave (EPW) which is assumed to grow from the noise level, and to keep growing at least up to the amplitude when linear theory in no longer valid (while the wave evolution in the nonlinear regime may be arbitrary). The ions are considered as a neutralizing fluid, while the electron response to the wave is derived by matching two different techniques. We make use of a perturbation analysis similar to that introduced to prove the Kolmogorov-Arnold- Moser theorem, up to amplitudes large enough for neo-adiabatic results to be valid. Our theory is applied to the growth and saturation of the beam-plasma instability, and to the three-dimensional propagation of a driven EPW in a non-uniform and non-stationary plasma. For the latter example, we lay a special emphasis on nonlinear collisionless dissipation. We provide an explicit theoretical expression for the nonlinear Landau-like damping rate which, in some instances, is amenable to a simple analytic formula. We also insist on the irreversible evolution of the electron distribution function, which is nonlocal in the wave amplitude and phase velocity. This makes trapping an effective means of dissipation for the electrostatic energy, and also makes the wave dispersion relation nonlocal. Our theory is generalized to allow for stimulated Raman scattering, which we address up to saturation by accounting for plasma inhomogeneity and non-stationarity, nonlinear kinetic effects, and interspeckle coupling.

description: ABSTRACT Background: Patient safety is a fundamental principle of health care, but one of the biggest challenges currently faced and a serious public health problem, since the occurrence of adverse events is probably one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The vulnerability of the paediatric population, combined with the potentially dangerous context of intensive care, makes Paediatric Intensive Care Units services of particular complexity in matters of safety, where there is a greater likelihood of incidents with serious consequences. It is agreed that research on the topic of PS should start with the measuring of different types of harm that exist in the contexts, to identify high-risk areas and define priorities. For this, it is necessary to resort to a multiplicity of valid, reliable and specific measurement instruments and to learn their advantages and limitations. Objectives: Identify and map in scientific literature the instruments for measuring incidents related to patient safety applicable in the context of paediatric intensive care. Methods: This review will cover studies and documents that refer to all measurement instruments used in the field of patient safety in a context of paediatric intensive care. Published studies of a quantitative, qualitative or mixed nature and grey literature relevant to the topic will be included, in Portuguese, English or Spanish and produced since 2015. The sources of information include several databases and sources relevant to grey literature. The two authors will independently conduct the entire data selection process. The results of the research strategy will be presented in a PRISMA flowchart. The extracted data, after being organised in the extraction table, will be mapped in a descriptive and logical way, taking into account the defined review questions. Discussion: The mapping of the tools in these protocol will allow to summarize the most widely used instruments, to know their specificities and to guide researchers to use the most appropriate measurement tools for their context, specifically, in paediatric intensive care. Keywords: paediatric intensive care, patient safety, measurement tool, incident, adverse event

description: Invasive species frequently differentiate phenotypically in novel environments within a few generations, often even with limited genetic variation. For the invasive plants Solidago canadensis and S. gigantea, we tested whether such differentiation might have occurred through heritable epigenetic changes in cytosine methylation. In a 2-year common-garden experiment, we grew plants from seeds collected along a latitudinal gradient in their non-native Central European range to test for trait differentiation and whether differentiation disappeared when seeds were treated with the demethylation agent zebularine. Microsatellite markers revealed no population structure along the latitudinal gradient in S. canadensis, but three genetic clusters in S. gigantea. Solidago canadensis showed latitudinal clines in flowering phenology and growth. In S. gigantea, the number of clonal offspring decreased with latitude. Although zebularine had a significant effect on early growth, probably through effects on cytosine methylation, latitudinal clines remained (or even got stronger) in plants raised from seeds treated with zebularine. Thus, our experiment provides no evidence that epigenetic mechanisms by selective cytosine methylation contribute to the observed phenotypic differentiation in invasive goldenrods in Central Europe.
