description: Current proposals for topological quantum computation (TQC) based on Majorana zero modes (MZM) have mostly been focused on coupled-wire architecture which can be challenging to implement experimentally. To explore alternative building blocks of TQC, in this work we study the possibility of obtaining robust MZM at the corners of triangular superconducting islands, which often appear spontaneously in epitaxial growth. We first show that a minimal three-site triangle model of spinless $p$-wave superconductor allows MZM to appear at different pairs of vertices controlled by a staggered vector potential, which may be realized using coupled quantum dots and can already demonstrate braiding. For systems with less fine-tuned parameters, we suggest an alternative structure of a "hollow" triangle subject to uniform supercurrents or vector potentials, in which MZM generally appear when two of the edges are in a different topological phase from the third. We also discuss the feasibility of constructing the triangles using existing candidate MZM systems and of braiding more MZM in networks of such triangles.

description: We use a floating tunable coupler to mediate interactions between qubits on separate chips to build a modular architecture. We demonstrate three different designs of multi-chip tunable couplers using vacuum gap capacitors or superconducting indium bump bonds to connect the coupler to a microwave line on a common substrate and then connect to the qubit on the next chip. We show that the zero-coupling condition between qubits on separate chips can be achieved in each design and that the relaxation rates for the coupler and qubits are not noticeably affected by the extra circuit elements. Finally, we demonstrate two-qubit gate operations with fidelity at the same level as qubits with a tunable coupler on a single chip. Using one or more indium bonds does not degrade qubit coherence or impact the performance of two-qubit gates.

description: We investigate numerically how onsite disorder affects conduction in the periodically driven Rice-Mele model, a prototypical realization of the Thouless pump. Although the pump is robust against disorder in the fully adiabatic limit, much less is known about the case of finite period time $T$, which is relevant also in light of recent experimental realizations. We find that at any fixed period time and nonzero disorder, increasing the system size $L\to\infty$ always leads to a breakdown of the pump, indicating Anderson localization of the Floquet states. Our numerics indicate, however, that in a properly defined thermodynamic limit, where $L/T^θ$ is kept constant, Anderson localization can be avoided, and the charge pumped per cycle has a well-defined value -- as long as the disorder is not too strong. The critical exponent $θ$ is not universal, rather, its value depends on the disorder strength. Our findings are relevant for practical, experimental realizations of the Thouless pump, for studies investigating the nature of its current-carrying Floquet eigenstates, as well as the mechanism of the full breakdown of the pump, expected if the disorder exceeds a critical value.

description: Summary

A clear, compelling call-to-action (CTA) is a vital component of any successful sales strategy. Even the most persuasive sales pitch or marketing material can fall short if it lacks a strong, direct CTA that encourages prospects to take the next step. CEOs and sales leaders must leverage business writing to craft CTAs that guide prospects effectively toward conversion—whether that means scheduling a call, requesting a demo, or making a purchase. This article explores the significance of a clear CTA in the sales process, the common mistakes that weaken CTAs, and strategies for crafting CTAs that drive results.

description: Pyrochlore materials are characterized by their hallmark network of corner-sharing rare-earth tetrahedra, which can produce a wide array of complex magnetic ground states. Ferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores often obey the "two-in-two-out" spin ice rules, which can lead to a highly-degenerate spin structure. Large moment systems, such as Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, tend to host a classical spin ice state with low-temperature spin freezing and emergent magnetic monopoles. Systems with smaller effective moments, such as Pr$^{3+}$-based pyrochlores, have been proposed as excellent candidates for hosting a "quantum spin ice" characterized by entanglement and a slew of exotic quasiparticle excitations. However, experimental evidence for a quantum spin ice state has remained elusive. Here, we show that the low-temperature magnetic properties of Pr$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ satisfy several important criteria for continued consideration as a quantum spin ice. We find that Pr$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ exhibits a partially spin-frozen ground state with a large volume fraction of dynamic magnetism. Our comprehensive bulk characterization and neutron scattering measurements enable us to map out the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram, producing results consistent with expectations for a ferromagnetic Ising pyrochlore. We identify key hallmarks of spin ice physics, and show that the application of small magnetic fields ($μ_0 H_c \sim$0.75T) suppresses the spin ice state and induces a long-range ordered magnetic structure. Together, our work clarifies the current state of Pr$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ and encourages future studies aimed at exploring the potential for a quantum spin ice ground state in this system.

description: In this course, we will first introduce the life cycle assessment and learn the applications of the life cycle method, the steps of implementing its methods, specific features and software related to the life cycle method. In the following, we will examine the components of SimaPro software and examine all the windows of this software. Then we start working with the SimaPro software using the ready-made example of evaluating the life cycle of the coffee maker and run this example completely in this software. In the following, we analyze the tea machine without using the guide in SimaPro software. Also, for a better understanding of the content, two examples of comparing harmful loads on the environment in agricultural production and comparing harmful loads on the environment in two methods of moving the product are implemented in this software. Finally, we perform a Monte Carlo analysis and after checking the energy in the life cycle assessment, we teach how to output from SimaPro.

description: We examine properties of accelerated protons potentially responsible for the neutrino excess observed in the direction of NGC 1068, using constraints from kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations. We find that i) coronal X-rays and Optical/Ultra-Violet light in the inner disk lead to efficient absorption of hadronic $γ$-rays within 100 Schwarzschild radii from the black hole; ii) protons accelerated from the coronal thermal pool cannot account for the observed neutrinos; and iii) explaining the observed signal requires an injection of protons with a hard spectrum, peaking at $γ_p\sim 10^3-10^4$, into the turbulent magnetically-dominated corona, where they are confined and re-accelerated. The resulting neutrino signal can be consistent with IceCube observations. In our most favorable scenario, the injected protons are pre-accelerated in intermittent current sheets in the vicinity of the black hole, occurring either at the boundary between the disk and the outflow or during magnetic flux eruption events.

description: Background: Croton oligandrus Pierre & Hutch is a tropical tree that grows in West and Central Africa, used in ethnomedicine to treat cancer, diabetes, headaches, convulsions, urinary diseases, and inflammatory diseases. As other Croton species have been observed to possess chemical compounds that target HIV latency-reversal, we hypothesized that this species may have similar properties. Aim of the Study: The identification of extracts and compounds of this species, which have HIV-1 latency-reversing activity in J-Lat T cell lines. Methods: The stem bark was obtained, air-dried, powdered, and extracted using dichloromethane. In vitro flow cytometry was used to monitor GFP expression, a marker of HIV latency reversal, following treatment of J-Lat T cells with extracts and compounds. Results: Four extracts were found to reverse HIV latency, the most active extract showing better activity (ie, latency reversal in 69.7 ± 7.1% [mean ± s.e.m.] of J-Lat 10.6 cells at 1 μg/mL) than control agents prostratin (46.2 ± 9.5% at 1.2 μg.mL) and the “Mukungulu” (Croton megalobotrys) extract (34.9 ± 24.2% at 1 μg/mL). Extracts reversed HIV latency through mechanisms over and above protein kinase C (PKC) activation and distinct from histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition. The most active extract also synergized with the control HDAC inhibitor romidepsin but did not synergize with other extracts. Isolated compounds (β-Stigmasterol and lupeol) had limited but consistent latency reversal on their own. Conclusion: The plant extracts and compounds reverse HIV latency through mechanisms additional to PKC activation and/or synergize with romidepsin in vitro. Extracts and compounds from this plant may enhance the activity of current HIV latency-reversing agents being assessed in HIV cure studies.

description: Engineering conduction-band valley couplings is a key challenge for Si-based spin qubits. Recent work has shown that the most reliable method for enhancing valley couplings entails adding Ge concentration oscillations to the quantum well. However, ultrashort oscillation periods are difficult to grow, while long oscillation periods do not provide useful improvements. Here, we show that the main benefits of short-wavelength oscillations can be achieved in long-wavelength structures through a second-order coupling process involving Brillouin-zone folding induced by shear strain. We finally show that such strain can be achieved through common fabrication techniques, making this an exceptionally promising system for scalable quantum computing.

description: The objective of this research topic was to study and evaluate the effects of the integration of lean manufacturing on the supply chain performance in the textile sector of Pakistan under the domain of innovative production strategies. The study also examined operational efficiency as a mediating variable and organizational culture as the moderator. The four supply chain measures under focus were Delivery Accuracy, Turnover, Lead Time, and customer satisfaction; the lean tools assessed were Just-in-Time and Total quality management. The current research utilised analytical cross-sectional research and a sample of 111 employees working in the textile industry were approached to fill in the questionnaire. The research is a formal, cross-sectional, causal study conducted using communication-based data collection (questionnaires) to examine the impact of lean manufacturing on supply chain performance in Pakistan's textile industry. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to check the reliability of the data. Studied hypotheses were tested through Process Hayes for SPSS version 27. The research reveals that lean practices help reduce waste, enhance resource utilization efficiency, and improve manufacturing planning to meet the targets. An organisational culture with an innovative culture embraces flexibility and decentralised decisions, empowering organisational personnel to improve outcomes. The research also shows that operational efficiency partially explains the level of relationship between lean practices and supply chain performance. The findings of the research are helpful for the practitioners for a better understanding of devising policies for applying lean manufacturing to attain competitive advantages in the Pakistani textile industry.

description: This contribution aims at introducing first steps to develop hysteresis operator type inelastic constitutive laws for Cosserat rods for the simulation of cables composed of complex interior components. Motivated by the basic elements of Cosserat rod theory, we develop a specific approach to constitutive modelling adapted for this application. Afterwards, we describe the hysteretical behaviour arising from cyclic bending experiments on cables by means of the Preisach operator. As shown in pure bending experiments, slender structures such as electric cables behave inelastically, and open hysteresis loops arise with noticeable difference between the first load cycle and the following ones. The Preisach operator plays an important role in describing the input-output relation in hysteresis behaviours, and it can be expressed as a superposition of relay operators. Hence, a mathematical formulation of the problem is introduced, and a first attempt is made to determine the hysteresis behaviour that describes the relation between curvature and bending moment. Therefore, a suitable kernel function is identified in a way that its integration over the Preisach plane results in the bending moment of the specimen, and a comparison between different kernel functions is performed.

description: It is increasingly common to produce physical anatomical medical models using high-fidelity multiproperty 3D printing to assist doctor-patient communication, presurgical planning, and surgical simulation. Currently, most medical models are created using image thresholding and traditional mesh-based segmentation techniques to produce mono-material boundaries (STL file formats) of anatomical features. Existing medical modeling manufacturing methods restrict shape specification to one material or density, which result in anatomically simple 3D printed medical models with no gradated material qualities. Currently, available high-resolution functionally graded multimaterial 3D printed medical models are rigid and do not represent biomechanical movement. To bypass the identified limitations of current 3D printing medical modeling workflows, we present a bitmap-based "voxel"multimaterial additive manufacturing workflow for the production of highly realistic and flexible anatomical models of the neonatal lower limb using computed tomographic ("CT") data. By interpolating and re-slicing a biomedical volumetric data set at the native 3D printer z resolution of 27 μm and using CT scan attenuation properties (Hounsfield units) to guide material mixing ratios, producing highly realistic models of the neonatal lower limb at a significantly faster rate than other manufacturing methods. The presented medical modeling workflow has considerable potential to improve medical modeling manufacturing methods by translating medical data directly into 3D printing files aiding in anatomical education and surgical simulation practices, especially in neonatal research and clinical training.

description: We introduce a new family of operators as multi-parameter deformation of the one-row Macdonald polynomials. The matrix coefficients of these operators acting on the space of symmetric functions with rational coefficients in two parameters $q,t$ (denoted by $Λ[q,t]$) are computed by assigning some values to skew Macdonald polynomials in $λ$-ring notation. The new rule is utilized to provide new iterative formulas and also recover various existing formulas in a unified manner. Specifically the following applications are discussed: (i) A $(q,t)$-Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Macdonald functions is given as a generalization of the $q$-Murnaghan-Nakayama rule; (ii) An iterative formula for the $(q,t)$-Green polynomial is deduced; (iii) A simple proof of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for the Hecke algebra and the Hecke-Clifford algebra is offered; (iv) A combinatorial inversion of the Pieri rule for Hall-Littlewood functions is derived with the help of the vertex operator realization of the Hall-Littlewood functions; (v) Two iterative formulae for the $(q,t)$-Kostka polynomials $K_{λμ}(q,t)$ are obtained from the dual version of our multiparametric Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, one of which yields an explicit formula for arbitrary $λ$ and $μ$ in terms of the generalized $(q, t)$-binomial coefficient introduced independently by Lassalle and Okounkov.

description: Generating entanglement between distant quantum systems is at the core of quantum networking. In recent years, numerous theoretical protocols for remote entanglement generation have been proposed, of which many have been experimentally realized. Here, we provide a modular theoretical framework to elucidate the general mechanisms of photon-mediated entanglement generation between single spins in atomic or solid-state systems. Our framework categorizes existing protocols at various levels of abstraction and allows for combining the elements of different schemes in new ways. These abstraction layers make it possible to readily compare protocols for different quantum hardware. To enable the practical evaluation of protocols tailored to specific experimental parameters, we have devised numerical simulations based on the framework with our codes available online.

Why are universals of grammar easier to explain than geographical patterns?
Creators: name: Haspelmath, Martin
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Since the 1920s, geographical patterns of grammatical properties have been discussed occasionally, and since the 1990s, the discussion of large-scale areality has become an important part of comparative linguistics (“areal typology”). This development came a few decades after universals research took off (Greenberg 1963), and nowadays one gets the impression that geographical patterns are studied even more widely than universal patterns. However, linguists seem to lack a good explanatory framework, and there are many puzzles. For example, why are some features strongly areal (e.g. tone, word order), while others show little areality (e.g. gender, future tense)? Geographical patterns are explained by earlier contacts, but the histories of most areal patterns seem obscure. By contrast, grammatical universals are often explainable by functional factors, especially universals of asymmetric coding and universals of word order. Language universals have often been said to be due to diachronic change and thus history as well (e.g. Bybee 1988; Anderson 2016), but in this talk, I will suggest that universals are easier to explain because of their ahistoricity.

description: Analysis of bulk wheat consignments for naturally-occurring contaminants and residues from plant protection products is common, and helps manage potential health risks to consumers. The heterogeneous distribution of some mycotoxins in wheat has been described, however the distribution of other contaminants and residues has not yet been reported. This study characterized distributions of deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin A, ergot alkaloids, cadmium, and glyphosate in nine large consignments of wheat by analysing composite samples representing sub-lots prepared from increments obtained during the entire loading process. The widest span of concentrations within a consignment occurred for ochratoxin A (<0.5–22.9 µg/kg) and ergot alkaloids (0.009–0.486 mg/kg), followed by deoxynivalenol (<0.05–0.76 mg/kg) and glyphosate (<0.3–5.01 mg/kg), and then cadmium (0.022–0.102 mg/kg). Experimental semivariograms were plotted to model the spatio-temporal correlation of analytes within consignments during loading. Analyses demonstrated that distributions of contaminants and residues within a particular consignment differed, and that distributions of a particular contaminant or residue differed among consignments. The results indicate that sampling during only a portion of a loading or unloading process can result in a composite sample that is not representative of the consignment and thus increase the risk of misclassifying a consignment as compliant.
