description: Recently, academics and the corporate sector have paid attention to serverless computing, which enables dynamic scalability and an economic model. In serverless computing, users only pay for the time they actually use resources, enabling zero scaling to optimise cost and resource utilisation. However, this approach also introduces the serverless cold start problem. Researchers have developed various solutions to address the cold start problem, yet it remains an unresolved research area. In this article, we propose a systematic literature review on clod start latency in serverless computing. Furthermore, we create a detailed taxonomy of approaches to cold start latency, which we use to investigate existing techniques for reducing the cold start time and frequency. We have classified the current studies on cold start latency into several categories such as caching and application-level optimisation-based solutions, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions. Moreover, we have analyzed the impact of cold start latency on quality of service, explored current cold start latency mitigation methods, datasets, and implementation platforms, and classified them into categories based on their common characteristics and features. Finally, we outline the open challenges and highlight the possible future directions.

description: The article intends to highlight how building in exceptional environmental conditions (e.g. sites inaccessible to traditional vehicles, particularly harsh climate conditions, etc.) and reducing the environmental impact of the built environment lead to the adjustment of construction techniques, through applications of materials, even traditional, but made more efficient by innovative offsite and onsite production processes. A Life Cycle Assessment study has enabled to compare the impact of rice-based straw bale as a building material having both a load-bearing and insulation function, and to compare the results achieved with alternative scenarios characterised by materials conventionally used in construction, such as rock wool and concrete and masonry.

description: Many-body localized phases may not only be characterized by their ergodicity breaking, but can also host ordered phases such as the many-body localized spin-glass (MBL-SG). The MBL-SG is challenging to access in a dynamical measurement and therefore experimentally since the conventionally used Edwards-Anderson order parameter is a two-point correlation function in time. In this work, we show that many-body localized spin-glass order can also be detected from two-site reduced density matrices, which we use to construct an eigenstate spin-glass order parameter. We find that this eigenstate spin-glass order parameter captures spin-glass phases in random Ising chains both in many-body eigenstates as well as in the nonequilibrium dynamics from a local in time measurement. We discuss how our results can be used to observe MBL-SG order within current experiments in Rydberg atoms and trapped ion systems.

description: The article illustrates the outcomes of FIR 2014 Research on the topic of sustainable development of the urban-industrial areas of Augusta and Siracusa – meant as a single hub. Hemp farming for soil phytodepuration allows to activate a multi-scale process of regeneration that introduces new production activities for the transformation of biomass into building bio-materials. The need for competitiveness led to draft a project about a new roofing system constituted by biocomposite slabs, using raw materials produced locally. This allows to reduce pollution, to increase jobs and to promote the renovation of the building stock thanks to low-cost components produced on site and compatible with construction systems belonging to the local tradition.

description: If color is a material that contributes to constructing architecture, white color determines a particular dimension of the project that corresponds to a precise idea of architecture, with specific principles on spatial and form conception, on ways of working with light; in contemporary architecture, white color still refers to ideologies and specific spatial and linguistic research. So it is interesting to understand its values and reasons, to know the products available for this idea, for which traditional technologies are implemented and new applications are developed with innovative expressive effectiveness.

Beneficial and detrimental entanglement for quantum battery charging

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We establish a general implementation-independent approach to assess the potential advantage of using highly entangled quantum states between the initial and final states of the charging protocol to enhance the maximum charging power of quantum batteries. It is shown that the impact of entanglement on power can be separated from both the global quantum speed limit associated to an optimal choice of driving Hamiltonian and the energy gap of the batteries. We then demonstrate that the quantum state advantage of battery charging, defined as the power obtainable for given quantum speed limit and battery energy gap, is not an entanglement monotone. A striking example we provide is that, counterintuitively, independent thermalization of the local batteries, completely destroying any entanglement, can lead to larger charging power than that of the initial maximally entangled state. Highly entangled states can thus also be potentially disadvantageous when compared to product states. We also demonstrate that taking the considerable effort of producing highly entangled states, such as W or $k$-locally entangled states, is not sufficient to obtain quantum-enhanced scaling behavior with the number of battery cells. Finally, we perform an explicit computation for a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev battery charger to demonstrate that the quantum state advantage allows the instantaneous power to exceed its classical bound.

description: We describe a search of archival data from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). The purpose of the search is to find astronomically interesting transients that did not activate the burst detection (or ``trigger'') system onboard the spacecraft. Our search is sensitive to events with peak fluxes (on the 1.024 s time scale) that are lower by a factor of 2 than can be detected with the onboard burst trigger. In a search of 345 days of archival data, we detected 91 events in the 50--300 keV range that resemble classical gamma ray bursts but that did not activate the onboard burst trigger. We also detected 110 low-energy (25--50 keV) events of unknown origins which may include activity from SGR 1806-20 and bursts and flares from X-ray binaries. This paper gives the occurrence times, estimated source directions, durations, peak fluxes, and fluences for the 91 gamma ray burst candidates. The direction and intensity distributions of these bursts imply that the biases inherent in the onboard trigger mechanism have not significantly affected the completeness of the published BATSE gamma ray burst catalogs.

description: Construction Project Management processes aim at the optimization of three main KPIs: time, cost and quality. As the time / cost trade-off approach is well known, quality optimization is still pursued with a practical approach, often based upon Project Manager’s experience. A case study of construction of a new university building is presented, focusing on external walls detailed design. Wall performances concerning time, costs and quality depend on the performances of each of the product layer that composes the wall. For each layer three commercial options has been considered. Therefore, a time – cost – quality trade-off procedure has been implemented using Genetic Algorithms, with the aim of finding a set of optimal solutions for the construction of the building envelope.

description: Active nematics is an emerging paradigm for characterising biological systems. One aspect of particularly intense focus is the role active nematic defects play in these systems, as they have been found to mediate a growing number of biological processes. Accurately detecting and classifying these defects in biological systems is, therefore, of vital importance to improving our understanding of such processes. While robust methods for defect detection exist for systems of elongated constituents, other systems, such as epithelial layers, are not well suited to such methods. Here, we address this problem by developing a convolutional neural network to detect and classify nematic defects in confluent cell layers. Crucially, our method is readily implementable on experimental images of cell layers and is specifically designed to be suitable for cells that are not rod-shaped. We demonstrate that our machine learning model outperforms current defect detection techniques and that this manifests itself in our method requiring less data to accurately capture defect properties. This could drastically improve the accuracy of experimental data interpretation whilst also reducing costs, advancing the study of nematic defects in biological systems.

description: Magnomechanical devices, in which magnetic excitations couple to mechanical vibrations, have been discussed as efficient and broadband microwave signal transducers in the classical and quantum limit. We experimentally investigate the magnetoelastic coupling between the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) modes in a metallic Co$_{25}$Fe$_{75}$ thin film, featuring ultra-low magnetic damping as well as sizable magnetostriction, and standing transverse elastic phonon modes in sapphire, silicon and gadolinium gallium garnet by performing broadband FMR spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. For all these substrate materials, we observe an interaction between the resonant acoustic and magnetic modes, which can be tailored by the propagation direction of the acoustic mode with respect to the crystallographic axes. We identify these phonon modes as transverse shear waves propagating with slightly different velocities with relative magnitudes of $Δv/v\simeq10^{-5}$, i.e., all substrates show phononic birefringence. Upon appropriately choosing the phononic mode, the hybrid magnomechanical system enters the Purcell enhanced coupling regime.

description: Abstract

Vertical farming is an innovative approach to agriculture that aims to meet the growing food demands of urban populations while addressing the challenges of limited arable land, resource scarcity, and environmental concerns. By utilizing vertically stacked layers or structures, this method integrates advanced technologies to grow crops in controlled environments, such as buildings, shipping containers, or specialized facilities. Vertical farming offers a sustainable and space-efficient solution to meet the increasing demand for these valuable plants. This abstract explores the role of vertical farming in the cultivation of aromatic and medicinal plants, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and potential to revolutionize the production of these valuable crops.  By integrating IoT devices, the system aims to monitor and control various parameters such as environmental conditions, nutrient levels, and irrigation, optimizing the growth and quality of aromatic and medicinal plants.

description: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry offers an alternative tool to detect paramagnetic centers in cells with a favorable combination of magnetic sensitivity and spatial resolution. Here, we employ NV magnetic relaxometry to detect cytochrome C (Cyt-C) nanoclusters. Cyt-C is a water-soluble protein that plays a vital role in the electron transport chain of mitochondria. Under ambient conditions, the heme group in Cyt-C remains in the Fe3+ state, which is paramagnetic. We vary the concentration of Cyt-C from 6 to 54 uM and observe a reduction of the NV spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) from 1.2 ms to 150 us, which is attributed to the spin noise originating from the Fe3+ spins. NV T1 imaging of Cyt-C drop-casted on a nanostructured diamond chip allows us to detect the relaxation rates from the adsorbed Fe3+ within Cyt-C.
No bullying! A playful proof of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem

description: We give an elementary proof of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem. The only mathematical prerequisite is a version of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem: a sequence in a compact subset of $n$-dimensional Euclidean space has a convergent subsequence with a limit in that set. Our main tool is a `no-bullying' lemma for agents with preferences over indivisible goods. What does this lemma claim? Consider a finite number of children, each with a single indivisible good (a toy) and preferences over those toys. Let's say that a group of children, possibly after exchanging toys, could bully some poor kid if all group members find their own current toy better than the toy of this victim. The no-bullying lemma asserts that some group $S$ of children can redistribute their toys among themselves in such a way that all members of $S$ get their favorite toy from $S$, but they cannot bully anyone.

description: We analyse the closed-loop performance of a model predictive control (MPC) for tracking formulation with artificial references. It has been shown that such a scheme guarantees closed-loop stability and recursive feasibility for any externally supplied reference, even if it is unreachable or time-varying. The basic idea is to consider an artificial reference as an additional decision variable and to formulate generalised terminal ingredients with respect to it. In addition, its offset is penalised in the MPC optimisation problem, leading to closed-loop convergence to the best reachable reference. In this paper, we provide a transient performance bound on the closed loop using MPC for tracking. We employ mild assumptions on the offset cost and scale it with the prediction horizon. In this case, an increasing horizon in MPC for tracking recovers the infinite horizon optimal solution.

description: The perfectly linear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity observed as $T \rightarrow$ 0 in a variety of metals close to a quantum critical point is a major puzzle of condensed matter physics . Here we show that $T$-linear resistivity as $T \rightarrow$ 0 is a generic property of cuprates, associated with a universal scattering rate. We measured the low-temperature resistivity of the bi-layer cuprate Bi2212 and found that it exhibits a $T$-linear dependence with the same slope as in the single-layer cuprates Bi2201, Nd-LSCO and LSCO, despite their very different Fermi surfaces and structural, superconducting and magnetic properties. We then show that the $T$-linear coefficient (per CuO$_2$ plane), $A_1$, is given by the universal relation $A_1 T_F = h / 2e^2$, where $e$ is the electron charge, $h$ is the Planck constant and $T_F$ is the Fermi temperature. This relation, obtained by assuming that the scattering rate 1 / $τ$ of charge carriers reaches the Planckian limit whereby $\hbar / τ= k_B T$, works not only for hole-doped cuprates but also for electron-doped cuprates despite the different nature of their quantum critical point and strength of their electron correlations.

description: Feedforward controllers typically rely on accurately identified inverse models of the system dynamics to achieve high reference tracking performance. However, the impact of the (inverse) model identification error on the resulting tracking error is only analyzed a posteriori in experiments. Therefore, in this work, we develop an approach to feedforward control design that aims at minimizing the tracking error a priori. To achieve this, we present a model of the system in a lifted space of trajectories, based on which we derive an upperbound on the reference tracking performance. Minimization of this bound yields a feedforward control-oriented system identification cost function, and a finite-horizon optimization to compute the feedforward control signal. The nonlinear feedforward control design method is validated using physics-guided neural networks on a nonlinear, nonminimum phase mechatronic example, where it outperforms linear ILC.

Starting from ‘Ecovative, a biomaterial produced in the U.S.A., the research carried out at the DADI of University of Campania “L. Vanvitelli”, in partnership with industry participants, experiences the production of bio-based thermal insulation materials grown with mycelia. The experimentation has recorded a highly adaptive response from the material, which resulted regenerative, eco-friendly, renewable, with a zero environmental impact and a minimum Embodied Energy.

description: Antiferromagnets have recently emerged as attractive platforms for spintronics applications, offering fundamentally new functionalities compared to their ferromagnetic counterparts. While nanoscale thin film materials are key to the development of future antiferromagnetic spintronics technologies, experimental tools to explore such films on the nanoscale are still sparse. Here, we offer a solution to this technological bottleneck, by addressing the ubiquitous surface magnetisation of magnetoelectic antiferromagnets in a granular thin film sample on the nanoscale using single-spin magnetometry in combination with spin-sensitive transport experiments. Specifically, we quantitatively image the evolution of individual nanoscale antiferromagnetic domains in 200-nm thin-films of Cr$_2$O$_3$ in real space and across the paramagnet-to-antiferromagnet phase transition. These experiments allow us to discern key properties of the Cr$_2$O$_3$ thin film, including the mechanism of domain formation and the strength of exchange coupling between individual grains comprising the film. Our work offers novel insights into Cr$_2$O$_3$'s magnetic ordering mechanism and establishes single spin magnetometry as a novel, widely applicable tool for nanoscale addressing of antiferromagnetic thin films.

The covariant form of the equivalent Langevin stochastic differential equation is long sought after in both physics and mathematics. We show that the simplest covariant Stratonovich stochastic differential equation depending on the local orthogonal frame (cf. vielbein) becomes the desired covariant Langevin equation provided we impose an additional covariant constraint: the vectors of the frame must be divergence-free.

description: We present Context Aware Fidelity Estimation (CAFE), a framework for benchmarking quantum operations that offers several practical advantages over existing methods such as Randomized Benchmarking (RB) and Cross-Entropy Benchmarking (XEB). In CAFE, a gate or a subcircuit from some target experiment is repeated n times before being measured. By using a subcircuit, we account for effects from spatial and temporal circuit context. Since coherent errors accumulate quadratically while incoherent errors grow linearly, we can separate them by fitting the measured fidelity as a function of n. One can additionally interleave the subcircuit with dynamical decoupling sequences to remove certain coherent error sources from the characterization when desired. We have used CAFE to experimentally validate our single- and two-qubit unitary characterizations by measuring fidelity against estimated unitaries. In numerical simulations, we find CAFE produces fidelity estimates at least as accurate as Interleaved RB while using significantly fewer resources. We also introduce a compact formulation for preparing an arbitrary two-qubit state with a single entangling operation, and use it to present a concrete example using CAFE to study CZ gates in parallel on a Sycamore processor.

description: The ongoing synergy between the digitization of the building process and new paradigms related to the production of architectural constructions and building elements, pave the way for the definition of new scenarios that are worth investigating. The recurring question, indeed, is how the most advanced digital techniques for material production can have a tangible impact on architecture and its morphological languages. In the field of building design, the chance to turn digital data into matter represents a key point to deal with, in order to demonstrate the possibility to transfer actual benefits from other sectors related to the construction industry.

description: Today, technological innovation in the construction field faces an important challenge: the identification of solutions that may not only allow to maximize energy saving in the use phase, but that may also reduce environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of materials and components. The paper illustrates a research activity and experimentation – funded by the European Union – carried out in synergy by research centres and private companies. Its end purpose was the design, prototyping, and monitoring of an eco-friendly brick envelope named BLOCK_PLASTER. Alternative configurations to the system have been identified and technological-environmental performances in the different phases of the life cycle have been verified through a multidisciplinary and a multi-objective approach.

description: We study charged hydrodynamics in a periodic lattice background. Fluctuations are Bloch waves rather than single momentum Fourier modes. At boundaries of the unit cell where hydrodynamic fluctuations are formally degenerate with their Umklapped copy, level repulsion occurs. Novel mode mixings between charge, sound, and their Umklapped copies appear at finite chemical potential -- both at zero and finite momentum. We provide explicit examples for an ionic lattice, i.e. a periodic external chemical potential, and verify our results with numerical computations in fluid-gravity duality.

description: Success is an individual dimension – it can be expected, may come
unexpectedly. Most, however, success must be earned. Success always brings happiness and even being flanked. It is needed and waited for by people of every age.
However schoolchildren has a specific meaning, because it is a basis for future
education, besides of satisfaction very often it makes speeding up the development. In this paper is made a description of a fragment of life of 7-year-old girl
in the period from 6 to 11 years old. This description is only a fragment of her
life according to some educational episode. The author of this paper anticipated
herself in these episodes or they were related to her by the heroine of this situation. This study of individual cases in followed by cognitive development analysis, especially by J. Piaget and L. Wygotski. These theories are the theoretical for
described case.
LEADING VACUUM-POLARIZATION CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RELATION BETWEEN POLE AND RUNNING MASSES

description: The vacuum--polarization contributions of ${\cal O}(b^{n-1} \al_s^n)$ to the relation between the pole--mass $M$ of a quark and the \MS parameter $\mh (M)$ are evaluated by a straightforward method. They are found to approximate very well the exact answer, known through ${\cal O}(\al_s^2)$, thus providing a simple physical interpretation. Results are also given for the cases when the vacuum--polarization contributions are defined by the pinch technique prescription and specific background field gauges. Assuming that the terms $n \geq 3$ are also dominant, we evaluate $M_t/\hat{m}_t(M_t)$, compare the results with those of optimization methods, briefly discuss $M_b/\mh_b (M_b)$, and estimate the irreducible errors in the perturbative series. Implications for the electroweak amplitude $Δρ$ are emphasized. An update of the QCD corrections to this amplitude, including an estimate of the theoretical error, is given.

description: The research programme on the implementation of circular economy in the built environment, whose urgency is acknowledged both at national and at EU level, works on two complementary approaches: reuse (superuse) and recycling (upcycling). The first, theoretical and applied to a pilot case, is one of the first attempts to transpose to Italy the waste materials scouting and harvest mapping process as part of the design project. The second, with the start-up Atlante Inerti Project, which, with EIT funds, experiments an original use of recycled aggregates for the production of urban furniture elements with additive 3D printing and prefabrication of vibration compressed concrete, developing mixes with convincing performances of interest for further applications in the building industry.

description: The paper examines how the relationship between the project and the matter is changing under the impact of digitalization and the productive and economical emerging paradigms, both in terms of process and product. The evolutionary path of the relationship between industrialization and architecture allow us to draw a picture which, starting from the first experience of standardizing prefabrication, lead to results increasingly oriented towards the personalization of realizations (Industrial Mass Customization). The essay proposes a critical reading of most recent and advanced technological innovations, focusing on the applications of 3d printing additive technology to the architecture and to the new scenarios of research opened for the project and the construction industry.

Automatic Configuration of Multi-Agent Model Predictive Controllers based on Semantic Graph World Models

description: We propose a shared semantic map architecture to construct and configure Model Predictive Controllers (MPC) dynamically, that solve navigation problems for multiple robotic agents sharing parts of the same environment. The navigation task is represented as a sequence of semantically labeled areas in the map, that must be traversed sequentially, i.e. a route. Each semantic label represents one or more constraints on the robots' motion behaviour in that area. The advantages of this approach are: (i) an MPC-based motion controller in each individual robot can be (re-)configured, at runtime, with the locally and temporally relevant parameters; (ii) the application can influence, also at runtime, the navigation behaviour of the robots, just by adapting the semantic labels; and (iii) the robots can reason about their need for coordination, through analyzing over which horizon in time and space their routes overlap. The paper provides simulations of various representative situations, showing that the approach of runtime configuration of the MPC drastically decreases computation time, while retaining task execution performance similar to an approach in which each robot always includes all other robots in its MPC computations.
Effects of Dust on Gravitational Lensing by Spiral Galaxies

description: Gravitational lensing of an optical QSO by a spiral galaxy is often counteracted by dust obscuration, since the line-of-sight to the QSO passes close to the center of the galactic disk. The dust in the lens is likely to be correlated with neutral hydrogen, which in turn should leave a Lyman-alpha absorption signature on the QSO spectrum. We use the estimated dust-to-gas ratio of the Milky-Way galaxy as a mean and allow a spread in its values to calculate the effects of dust on lensing by low redshift spiral galaxies. Using a no-evolution model for spirals at z<1 we find (in Lambda=0 cosmologies) that the magnification bias due to lensing is stronger than dust obscuration for QSO samples with a magnitude limit B<16. The density parameter of neutral hydrogen, Omega_HI, is overestimated in such samples and is underestimated for fainter QSOs.

description: We explore signatures related to squark decays in the framework of non-minimally flavour-violating Supersymmetry. We consider a simplified model where the lightest squark consists of an admixture of charm and top flavour. By recasting the existing LHC searches for top and charm squarks, we show that the limits on squark masses from these analyses are significantly weakened when the top-charm mixing is sizeable. We propose a dedicated search for squarks based on the $tc+{E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}}$ final state which enhances the experimental sensitivity for the case of high mixing, and we map its expected reach for the forthcoming runs of the LHC. We emphasize the role of analyses requiring a jet tagged as produced by the fragmentation of a charm quark in understanding the squark mixing pattern, thus providing a novel handle on new physics. Our results show that, in order to achieve full coverage of the parameter space of supersymmetric models, it is necessary to extend current experimental search programmes with analyses specifically targeting the cases where the lightest top-partner is a mixed state.

Novel transition dynamics of topological solitons

description: Continuous phase transitions can be classified into ones characterized by local-order parameters and others that need additional topological constraints. The critical dynamics near the former transitions have been extensively studied, but the latter is less understood. We fill this gap in knowledge by studying the transition dynamics to a parity-breaking topological ground state called the chiral soliton lattice in quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature, baryon chemical potential, and external magnetic field. We find a slowing down of the soliton's translational motion as the critical magnetic field approaches while the local dissipation rate remains finite. Therefore, the characteristic time it takes to converge to the stationary state associated with a finite topological number strongly depends on the initial configuration: whether it forms a solitonic structure or not.
