description: Background: Premature birth is associated with decreased nephron number and an increased risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). To inform the development of guidelines for kidney follow up of children born prematurely, we undertook a study of individuals born extremely preterm, with the aim of characterizing the prevalence and predictors of microalbuminuria, elevated blood pressure, and/or abnormal kidney volume in adolescence. Methods: Study participants (n = 42) were born before 28 weeks of gestation and were enrolled at birth in the Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns (ELGAN) study. When participants were 15 years old, we obtained 2 manual blood pressures, a spot urine microalbumin measurement, and sonographic measurements of kidney length and volume. Results: Of the 42 participants, 60% were male, 52% were Caucasian (18% Hispanic), and 43% were African-American. Their median age was 15 (IQR 15, 15.3) years. In 33.3% of the cohort, blood pressure was elevated (>120/80 mmHg). Microalbuminuria (>30 mg/g) was present in 11.9% of the cohort, and kidney volume below the 10th percentile of normative data was present in 14%. Twenty-one (50%) of the sample had at least one kidney abnormality (microalbuminuria, elevated blood pressures, and/or kidney hypoplasia); these individuals were more likely to have experienced neonatal hypotension [55% vs. 17% among those with no kidney abnormality, p = 0.02]. Conclusions: Half of adolescents in this subset of ELGAN cohort have at least one risk factor of kidney disease (reduced kidney volume, microalbuminuria, and/or elevated blood pressures) at 15 years of age. This study suggests the importance of monitoring kidney outcomes in children after extremely preterm birth, especially those with a history of neonatal hypotension.

description: Larval dispersal is a key process determining population connectivity, metapopulation dynamics and community structure in benthic marine ecosystems, yet the biophysical complexity of dispersal is not well understood. In this study, we investigate the interaction between disperser phenotype and hydrodynamics on larval dispersal pathways, using a temperate reef fish species, Trachinops caudimaculatus. We assessed the influence of larval traits on depth distribution and dispersal outcomes by: (i) using 24-h depth-stratified ichthyoplankton sampling; (ii) quantifying individual phenotypes using larval growth histories extracted from the sagittal otoliths of individual larvae; and (iii) simulating potential dispersal outcomes based on the empirical distribution of larval phenotypes and an advanced biological-physical ocean model. We found T. caudimaculatus larvae were vertically stratified with respect to phenotype, with high-quality phenotypes found in the bottom two depth strata, and poor-quality phenotypes found primarily at the surface. Our model showed high- and average-quality larvae experienced significantly higher local retention (more than double) and self-recruitment, and travelled shorter distances relative to poor-quality larvae. As populations are only connected when dispersers survive long enough to reproduce, determining how larval phenotype influences dispersal outcomes will be important for improving our understanding of marine population connectivity and persistence.

description: To assess the efficacy and safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) in comparison with various control contingencies (e.g. pill placebo and cognitive behavioral treatment) for pediatric anxiety disorders. Additionally, we wanted to investigate whether serious adverse events or adverse events are more common with medication treatment compared with pill placebo. Studies were selected if they were randomized controlled trials evaluating SSRIs or SNRIs. Eligible studies included participants aged 17 years or younger. Eleven studies were included, with 2122 participants. Primary outcomes were (1) remission, (2) a continuous scale such as the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children and (3) serious adverse events. We also calculated number needed to treat and number needed to harm. SSRIs and SNRIs are an effective treatment of childhood anxiety disorders and are superior to pill placebo. While the risk of serious adverse events was low with SSRI/SNRI treatment, there was an increased risk of experiencing behavioral activation with SSRI/SNRI treatment. SSRI and SNRI treatment is effective for childhood anxiety disorders, with positive effect of treatment outweighing the negative effects.
The $b$-adic symmetrization of digital nets for quasi-Monte Carlo integration

description: The notion of symmetrization, also known as Davenport's reflection principle, is well known in the area of the discrepancy theory and quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) integration. In this paper we consider applying a symmetrization technique to a certain class of QMC point sets called digital nets over $\mathbb{Z}_{b}$. Although symmetrization has been recognized as a geometric technique in the multi-dimensional unit cube, we give another look at symmetrization as a geometric technique in a compact totally disconnected abelian group with dyadic arithmetic operations. Based on this observation we generalize the notion of symmetrization from base 2 to an arbitrary base $b\in \mathbb{N}$, $b\ge 2$. Subsequently, we study the QMC integration error of symmetrized digital nets over $\mathbb{Z}_{b}$ in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The result can be applied to component-by-component construction or Korobov construction for finding good symmetrized (higher order) polynomial lattice rules which achieve high order convergence of the integration error for smooth integrands at the expense of an exponential growth of the number of points with the dimension. Moreover, we consider two-dimensional symmetrized Hammersley point sets in prime base $b$, and prove that the minimum Dick weight is large enough to achieve the best possible order of $L_p$ discrepancy for all $1\le p< \infty$.

description: Resource-based consensus is the backbone of permissionless distributed ledger systems. The security of such protocols relies fundamentally on the level of resources actively engaged in the system. The variety of different resources (and related proof protocols, some times referred to as PoX in the literature) raises the fundamental question whether it is possible to utilize many of them in tandem and build multi-resource consensus protocols. The challenge in combining different resources is to achieve fungibility between them, in the sense that security would hold as long as the cumulative adversarial power across all resources is bounded. In this work, we put forth Minotaur, a multi-resource blockchain consensus protocol that combines proof-of-work (PoW) and proof-of-stake (PoS), and we prove it optimally fungible. At the core of our design, Minotaur operates in epochs while continuously sampling the active computational power to provide a fair exchange between the two resources, work and stake. Further, we demonstrate the ability of Minotaur to handle a higher degree of work fluctuation as compared to the Bitcoin blockchain; we also generalize Minotaur to any number of resources. We demonstrate the simplicity of Minotaur via implementing a full stack client in Rust (available open source). We use the client to test the robustness of Minotaur to variable mining power and combined work/stake attacks and demonstrate concrete empirical evidence towards the suitability of Minotaur to serve as the consensus layer of a real-world blockchain.

description: An increasing number of infants with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are surviving and receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT). Unique clinical issues specific to this age group of patients influence their short- and long-term outcomes. This review summarizes current epidemiology, clinical characteristics, ethical dilemmas, management concerns, and outcomes of infants requiring chronic dialysis therapy. Optimal care during infancy requires a multidisciplinary team working closely with the patient’s family. Nutritional management, infection prevention, and attention to cardiovascular status are important treatment targets. Although mortality rates remain higher among infants on dialysis compared to older pediatric dialysis patients, outcomes have improved over time. Most importantly, infants who subsequently receive a kidney transplant are now experiencing graft survival rates that are comparable to older pediatric patients.

description: Acoustic peaks in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature spectrum as observed by the Planck satellite appear to be smoother than our expectation from the standard model lensing effect. This anomalous effect can be also mimicked by a spatially closed Universe with a very low value of Hubble constant that consequently aggravates the already existing discordance between cosmological observations. We reconstruct a signature from the early Universe, a particular form of oscillation in the primordial spectrum of quantum fluctuations with a characteristic frequency, that solves all these anomalies. Interestingly, we find this form of the primordial spectrum resolves or substantially subsides, various tensions in the standard model of cosmology in fitting different observations, namely Planck CMB, clustering and weak lensing shear measurements from several large scale structure surveys, local measurements of Hubble constant, and recently estimated age of the Universe from globular clusters. We support our findings phenomenologically, by proposing an analytical form of the primordial spectrum with similar features and demonstrate that it agrees remarkably well with various combinations of cosmological observations. We support further our findings theoretically, by introducing a single scalar field potential for inflation that can generate such a form of the primordial spectrum.

That means MCQs generated for one system cannot be used for other unless a common format is used. So, collaboration and/or up gradation becomes a time consuming tedious task. In this paper, we will examine how tool could be designed which can produce portable MCQs and that too generating in the laptop and/or desktop without any need for going online.

description: Background: Outcome data for infants on chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) is limited and has been based primarily on the analyses of voluntary entry registry data. In contrast, the United States Renal Data Systems (USRDS) collects data on all infants with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on chronic dialysis in the USA. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of this population and to determine the associated patient mortality. Methods: The USRDS database was reviewed retrospectively for data on infants who initiated CPD at ≤ 12 months of age from 1990 to 2014. Infants were categorized into four groups, CPD initiation age (≤ 1 month of age or neonates and > 1–12 months of age or older infants) and initiation era (1990–1999 and 2000–2014). Results: A total of 1723 infants (574 neonates and 1149 older infants) were identified. Overall, 20.9% of infants (147 neonates and 213 older infants) died on dialysis during the follow-up. The most commonly identified causes of death on dialysis were cardiorespiratory disease (25.8%) and infection (22.8%). There was an increased risk for mortality in all infants who initiated CPD in the earlier initiation era (1990–1999) vs the later era (2000–2014) (aHR of 1.95), for females vs males (aHR 1.43), and for those with a primary diagnosis of cystic kidney diseases vs congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) (aHR 1.84). In 2000–2014, patient survival at 1 and 5 years was 86.8% and 74.6% for those who initiated CPD as neonates and 89.6% and 79.3% for those who did so as older infants. Conclusions: In this large cohort of infants who received chronic peritoneal dialysis over more than two decades, the probability of survival after initiating CPD in the first year of life has significantly improved. There is no difference in the probability of death for neonates compared to older infants. However, the mortality rate remains substantial in association with multiple risk factors.

description: Poor school performance is linked to higher risks of self-harm. The association might be explained through genetic liabilities for depression or educational attainment. We investigated the association between school performance and self-harm in a population-based sample while assessing the potential influence of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for depression (PRSMDD) and for educational attainment (PRSEDU). We conducted a follow-up study of individuals born 1987–98 and followed from age 18 until 2016. The total sample consisted of a case group (23,779 diagnosed with mental disorders; schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a randomly sampled comparison group (n = 10,925). Genome-wide data were obtained from the Neonatal Screening Biobank and information on school performance, family psychiatric history, and socioeconomic status from national administrative registers. Individuals in the top PRSMDD decile were at higher self-harm risk in the case group (IRR: 1.30; 95% CI 1.15–1.46), whereas individuals in the top PRSEDU decile were at lower self-harm risk (IRR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.55–0.74). Poorer school performance was associated with higher self-harm risk in persons diagnosed with any mental disorder (IRR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.44–1.99) and among the comparison group (IRR: 7.93; 95% CI: 4.47–15.18). Observed effects of PRSMDD and PRSEDU on self-harm risk were strongest for individuals with poor school performance. Associations between PRSMDD and self-harm risk and between PRSEDU and self-harm risk were found. Nevertheless, these polygenic scores seem currently of limited clinical utility for identifying individuals at high self-harm risk.

description: This inscription, found on the Acropolis of Athens and usually dated to the late sixth century BCE, bears the earliest extant Athenian decree. The decree defines the legal status of a group of citizens living on Salamis. According to the reading supported here, the Athenians allow them to reside on Salamis, but rule them to be equal to the citizens living in Attica with regard to fiscal and military obligations. Land lease agreements and the procurement of arms by the cleruchs are subsequently regulated. The final line could contain a mention of the Council, which does not appear in the opening formula, or the eponymous archon’s name.

description: Photonic Time Crystals (PTCs) - dielectric media with their refractive index modulated periodically in time, offer new opportunities in photonics arising from time reflections and momentum bandgaps. Here, we study the emission of light from a radiation source inside a PTC. We solve the general classical and quantum mechanical models of emission in a temporally-varying medium, and find that radiation is always exponentially amplified when associated with the momentum gap, whether initiated by a macroscopic source, an atom, or by vacuum fluctuations, drawing the amplification energy from the modulation. The radiation linewidth becomes narrower as time advances, and is centered in the middle of the momentum gap. We calculate the spontaneous decay rate of an atom embedded in a PTC and show that it vanishes at the band edge due to low density of photonic states. Finally, we propose the concept of nonresonant tunable PTC lasers.

description: Liquid-solid fluidization technique is being applied where low-grade coal or minerals enrichment is mostly density-based. Static and dynamic behavior of particles in a fluid medium has been extensively investigated over the years because of its dynamic applications across various industries. In this work, bed characterization studies and experiments have been conducted to study coal washing ability of the liquid-solid fluidized bed separator. Results have been recorded in terms of ash rejection%, combustible recovery% and separation efficiency%. Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop values have been predicted using existing theoretical correlations and compared with the experimental values. A three-layered (4:5:3) feedforward back-propagation (FFBP) neural network model was developed using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, LOGSIG and MSE as training, transfer and performance functions respectively. Garson’s algorithm and connection weight approach have been employed for sensitivity analysis to interpret the neural network results physically. Coefficients of correlation, all R (including training, validation & testing datasets) obtained for outputs ash rejection (R = 0.9960), combustible recovery (R = 0.9952) and separation efficiency (R = 0.9944) suggest that predicted values are in agreement with the experimental values and the developed model is a good fit.

description: In this paper, a high-order moment-based multi-resolution Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme is designed for hyperbolic conservation laws. The main idea of this scheme is derived from our previous work [J. Comput. Phys., 446 (2021) 110653], in which the integral averages of the function and its first order derivative are used to reconstruct both the function and its first order derivative values at the boundaries. However, in this paper, only the function values at the Gauss-Lobatto points in the one or two dimensional case need to be reconstructed by using the information of the zeroth and first order moments. In addition, an extra modification procedure is used to modify those first order moments in the troubled-cells, which leads to an improvement of stability and an enhancement of resolution near discontinuities. To obtain the same order of accuracy, the size of the stencil required by this moment-based multi-resolution HWENO scheme is still the same as the general HWENO scheme and is more compact than the general WENO scheme. Moreover, the linear weights can also be any positive numbers as long as their sum equals one and the CFL number can still be 0.6 whether for the one or two dimensional case. Extensive numerical examples are given to demonstrate the stability and resolution of such moment-based multi-resolution HWENO scheme.

description: A water-soluble nonionic surfactant hydrophobic monomer (AT100) was synthesized by esterification of acryloyl chloride with Triton X-100, after that, a nonionic hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide P(AM-AT100) was synthesized and used as drag reducer. They were characterized by IR and NMR. In fresh water, when the concentration of drag reducer reached 0.3 g·L−1 (so called slick water), the viscosity was 3.86 mm2·s−1 with a drag reduction rate up to 74.7%. After sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was added into the slick water, hydrophobic chains of SDS and hydrophobic units in P(AM-AT100) aggregated and micelles were likely formed, and this process was just like hydrophobic association. The viscosity of the slick water increased significantly, while the drag reduction rate of the mixed system decreased. With SDS concentration at 1.5 g·L−1 and the drag reducer concentration at 0.3 g·L−1, the drag reduction rate was 71.72% and viscosity was 6.25 mm2·s−1, indicating that increasing viscosity had a significantly adverse effect on drag reduction performance. The proppant layup experiment confirmed that the sand-carrying capacity of low-viscosity slick water is limited, so proppant will settle inevitably.

description: Objective. To assess practice pattern similarities and differences amongst pediatric rheumatologists and nephrologists in the management of pediatric Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA). Methods. A voluntary survey was distributed to the Midwest Pediatric Nephrology Consortium Group (MWPNC) and an international pediatric rheumatology email listserv in 2016-2017. Data were collected on general practice characteristics and preferences for induction management under three clinical scenarios (A-C): newly diagnosed GPA with glomerulonephritis, GPA with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, and GPA with pulmonary hemorrhage. In addition, individual preferences for GPA maintenance medications, disease monitoring, and management of GPA with end-stage renal disease were ascertained. Results. There was a 68% response rate from the MWPNC membership and equal numbers of rheumatology respondents. Survey results revealed Rituximab plus Cyclophosphamide is a more common induction choice for rheumatologists than nephrologists in induction Scenarios A and B, whereas Cyclophosphamide is more commonly chosen by nephrologists in Scenario A. Plasmapheresis rates increased for Scenarios A, B, and C for both specialties, but were overall low. There was no clear consensus on the duration of maintenance therapy nor diagnostic work-up. Rheumatologists more frequently chose Rituximab for maintenance and induction compared to nephrologists. There was also a higher than expected proportion of Mycophenolate Mofetil use for both specialties. Conclusion. This survey has revealed important differences in the way that rheumatologists and nephrologists manage this disease. It highlights the need for well-designed clinical trials in pediatric GPA patients and reveals that both specialties must be represented during consensus-building and clinical trial design efforts.

description: Background: To evaluate differences in the proportion of uterine fibroid (UF) treatments that are uterine-sparing between Black women and White women and identify factors that could explain disparities. Methods: Women at age 18-54 years who were enrolled from 10 clinical sites in the United States into the Comparing Options for Management: Patient-Centered Results for UFs (COMPARE-UF) treatment registry completed questionnaires before their UF procedure. UF symptoms and quality of life were assessed by questionnaires. Details on UF imaging and treatment (hysterectomy, myomectomy, or uterine artery embolization [UAE]) were collected from each patient's medical record. Random-effects logistic regression was used to assess the association between race and the odds of having a uterine-sparing procedure versus hysterectomy. Subgroup analyses compared each uterine-sparing procedure with hysterectomy. Results: In this cohort of 1141 White women and 1196 Black women, Black women tended to be younger (median 41.0 vs. 42.0 years) and report worse symptoms, pain, and function on every scale compared with White women. Black women were more likely to have had a prior UF treatment compared with White women (22.8% vs. 14.6%). White women had more hysterectomies (43.6% vs. 32.2%) and myomectomies (50.9% vs. 50.2%) versus Black women. Black women had more UAEs (15.1% vs. 4.7%) than White women. After adjusting for clinical site and other variables, Black women had greater odds than White women of having a myomectomy (odds ratio [OR] = 2.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.63-3.56) or a UAE versus hysterectomy (OR = 4.24, 95% CI = 2.41-7.46). Conclusion: In these participants, Black women were more likely to schedule a uterine-sparing UF treatment and a nonsurgical UF treatment than their White counterparts; this may not be true for all women. Longer comparative effectiveness studies are needed to inform women about the durability of UF treatments. Greater understanding of factors influencing treatment selection is needed as are studies that include women without access to tertiary care centers.

The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
La stele dei Maratonomachi (o ‘stele di Loukou’)
Creators: name: Proietti, Giorgia
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: The ‘stele of the Marathonomachoi’ was found in 1999 in Herodes Atticus’ villa at Eua-Loukou, in the eastern Peloponnese. Dated on palaeographical grounds to the time of the Persian wars and attributed to the tomb of the Marathonomachoi on the battlefield, it has been alternatively dated shortly after 490, or during the ’70s. Developing some arguments which I have already discussed in previous articles, I here explore the possibility that the stele was originally inscribed with the casualty list of the Erechtheid tribe, while the epigram was added some time after 480-479. The stele would therefore represent two different phases of the historical memory of the Marathon battle.

Lista dei caduti in guerra della tribù Eretteide
Creators: name: Zaccarini, Matteo
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: This Athenian casualty list of the Erechtheis tribe, c. 460-459 BCE, is an important source for our understanding of the Athenian military effort in the Eastern Mediterranean in the central decades of the 5th century. While it can be safely dated and contextualized on the basis of Thucydides, the inscription highlights the selective and biased narrative provided by the literary sources. Furthermore, along with other similar documents, this list provides valuable information on the rationale and aims of the public celebration of the war dead in Athens, on the identity of the civic body, and on the inclusion of various social classes in the celebration of the polis.

description: High energy physics experiments, in particular experiments at the LHC, require the reconstruction of charged particle trajectories. Methods of reconstructing such trajectories have been known for decades, yet the applications at High Luminosity LHC require this reconstruction to be fast enough to be suitable for online event filtering. A particle traversing the detector volume leaves signals in active detector elements from which the trajectory is reconstructed. If the detector is submerged in a uniform magnetic field that trajectory is approximately helical. Since a collision event results in the production of many particles, especially at high luminosities, the first phase of trajectory reconstruction is the formation of candidate trajectories composed of a small subset of detector measurements that are then subject of resource intensive precise track parameters estimation. In this paper, we suggest a new approach that could be used to perform this classification. The proposed procedure utilizes the $z$ coordinate in the longitudinal direction in addition to the $x, y$ coordinates in the plane perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. The suggested algorithm works equally well for helical trajectories with different proximities to the beamline which is beneficial when searching for products of particles with longer lifetimes.
Nucleon-nucleon resonances at intermediate energies using a complex energy formalism

description: We apply our method of complex scaling, valid for a general class of potentials, in a search for nucleon-nucleon S-matrix poles up to 2 GeV laboratory kinetic energy. We find that the realistic potentials JISP16, constructed from inverse scattering, and chiral field theory potentials N$^3$LO and N$^2$LO$_{opt}$ support resonances in energy regions well above their fit regions. In some cases these resonances have widths that are narrow when compared with the real part of the S-matrix pole.

Dedica votiva dall'Heraion di Argo
Creators: name: Giovagnorio, Francesca
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: The stele was found in the sanctuary of Hera in Argos. It is characterised by a triangular pediment and, in the lower part, by a donative that had to fit into a rectangular depression, clearly visible in the stone. The content of the text consists of a list of four Ieromnemones, one for each tribe (which is carefully mentioned after each individual name), and of the specification of the cultic destination of the dedication, to Hera Argeia. The inscription has a primary historical importance, first of all because it is one of the oldest inscriptions from the sanctuary of Hera in Argos and, secondly, because it is one of the first texts to mention the fourth tribe of the Hyrnathioi.

description: It is a well-known fact that the release and dispersion of complex organic dyestuffs into the environment adversely affect human health and other living organisms. Due to industrial activities, pollution of water resources, which are vital for living organisms, is one of the most critical environmental problems nowadays. It is essential to remove the pollutants before they are discharged into the environment to eliminate environmental damage. In this study for the removal of Reactive Red 120 (RR120) dyestuff from an aqueous solution, we employed natural zeolite and iron oxide-zeolite (Fe3O4@Z) as adsorbents. The adsorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. The effects of parameters such as pH, contact time, and temperature on RR120 adsorption were also investigated. In addition, the adsorption equilibrium was analyzed with kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters. It was found that the adsorption of RR120 on natural zeolite and Fe3O4@Z followed the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm, respectively, and the adsorption process for both adsorbents proceeded spontaneously (ΔG∘<0) and exothermic (ΔH∘<0) with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Zeolite and Fe3O4@Z adsorption capacities for RR120 were 145.9 and 154.3 mg/g at 20 °C, respectively. It was determined that no significant matrix effect occurs in adsorption with synthetic wastewater prepared to evaluate the potential performance of adsorbents. According to the results obtained, Fe3O4@Z composite was found more effective adsorbent than natural zeolite for RR120 removal.

Concessioni di cittadinanza del koinon dei Trifili

Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: During the excavation work of 1978 in a doric temple in Mazi (present-day Skillountia) a bronze inscribed tablet was found. It is a decree concerning a concession of citizenship issued by the Triphylians, with also a threat of impiety towards Athena for any transgressors. It was created after the Elean War when the region of Triphylia was detached from Elis. The decree grants thirteen people the citizenship of Macistus, shedding new light both on the identification of the temple and the ancient village Mazi, but also on the powers of the Triphylian federal state, who seems to limit the autonomy of its members.

description: Quantum walks provide a framework for understanding and designing quantum algorithms that is both intuitive and universal. To leverage the computational power of these walks, it is important to be able to programmably modify the graph a walker traverses while maintaining coherence. Here, we do this by combining the fast, programmable control provided by optical tweezer arrays with the scalable, homogeneous environment of an optical lattice. Using this new combination of tools we study continuous-time quantum walks of single atoms on a 2D square lattice, and perform proof-of-principle demonstrations of spatial search using these walks. When scaled to more particles, the capabilities demonstrated here can be extended to study a variety of problems in quantum information science and quantum simulation, including the deterministic assembly of ground and excited states in Hubbard models with tunable interactions, and performing versions of spatial search in a larger graph with increased connectivity, where search by quantum walk can be more effective.

description: We present a photometric catalogue of star cluster candidates in Hickson compact groups (HCGs) 7, 31, 42, 59, and 92, based on observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. The catalogue contains precise cluster positions (right ascension and declination), magnitudes, and colours in the BVI filters. The number of detected sources ranges from 2200 to 5600 per group, from which we construct the high-confidence sample by applying a number of criteria designed to reduce foreground and background contaminants. Furthermore, the high-confidence cluster candidates for each of the 16 galaxies in our sample are split into two sub-populations: one that may contain young star clusters and one that is dominated by globular older clusters. The ratio of young star cluster to globular cluster candidates varies from group to group, from equal numbers to the extreme of HCG 31 which has a ratio of 8 to 1, due to a recent starburst induced by interactions in the group. We find that the number of blue clusters with $M_V < -9$ correlates well with the current star formation rate in an individual galaxy, while the number of globular cluster candidates with $M_V < -7.8$ correlates well (though with large scatter) with the stellar mass. Analyses of the high-confidence sample presented in this paper show that star clusters can be successfully used to infer the gross star formation history of the host groups and therefore determine their placement in a proposed evolutionary sequence for compact galaxy groups.
