description: The problem of convergence of the joint moments, which depend on two parameters $s$ and $h$, of the characteristic polynomial of a random Haar-distributed unitary matrix and its derivative, as the matrix size goes to infinity, has been studied for two decades, beginning with the thesis of Hughes. Recently, Forrester considered the analogous problem for the Circular $β$-Ensemble (C$β$E) characteristic polynomial, proved convergence and obtained an explicit combinatorial formula for the limit for integer $s$ and complex $h$. In this paper we consider this problem for a generalisation of the C$β$E, the Circular Jacobi $β$-ensemble (CJ$β$E), depending on an additional complex parameter $δ$ and we prove convergence of the joint moments for general positive real exponents $s$ and $h$. We give a representation for the limit in terms of the moments of a family of real random variables of independent interest. This is done by making use of some general results on consistent probability measures on interlacing arrays. Using these techniques, we also extend Forrester's explicit formula to the case of real $s$ and $δ$ and integer $h$. Finally, we prove an analogous result for the moments of the logarithmic derivative of the characteristic polynomial of the Laguerre $β$-ensemble.

description: UTe2 is a newly-discovered unconventional superconductor wherein multicomponent topological superconductivity is anticipated based on the presence of two superconducting transitions and time-reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting state. The observation of two superconducting transitions, however, remains controversial. Here we demonstrate that UTe2 single crystals displaying an optimal superconducting transition temperature at 2 K exhibit a single transition and remarkably high quality supported by their small residual heat capacity in the superconducting state and large residual resistance ratio. Our results shed light on the intrinsic superconducting properties of UTe2 and bring into question whether UTe2 is a multicomponent superconductor at ambient pressure.

description: The performance of fiber-fed astronomical spectrographs is highly influenced by the properties of fibers. The near-field and far-field scrambling characteristics have a profound impact on the line spread function (LSF) of the spectra. Focal ratio degradation (FRD) influences the output beam size, thereby affecting the throughput, as well as the size of the collimator and dispersion elements. While previous research has indicated that these properties depend on the shape of the fiber core and showed that non-circular core fibers can yield uniform near-field scrambling, the result remains inconclusive for far-field. In this study, we investigate the near-field and far-field scrambling properties, along with the FRD, of 50-micron core fibers with different core geometries. We find that in addition to excellent near-field scrambling, octagonal-core fibers can also produce more uniform far-field output when compared to circular-core fibers. They also have less FRD effect when being fed with a f/3 beam.

description: Network library APIs have historically been developed with the emphasis on data movement, placement, and communication semantics. Many communication semantics are available across a large variety of network libraries, such as send-receive, data streaming, put/get/atomic, RPC, active messages, collective communication, etc. In this work we introduce new compute and data movement APIs that overcome the constraints of the single-program, multiple-data (SPMD) programming model by allowing users to send binary executable code between processing elements. Our proof-of-concept implementation of the API is based on the UCX communication framework and leverages the RDMA network for fast compute migration. We envision the API being used to dispatch user functions from a host CPU to a SmartNIC (DPU), computational storage drive (CSD), or remote servers. In addition, the API can be used by large-scale irregular applications (such as semantic graph analysis), composed of many coordinating tasks operating on a data set so big that it has to be stored on many physical devices. In such cases, it may be more efficient to dynamically choose where code runs as the applications progresses.

Generalization of the Concept of Bandwidth

description: In the sciences and engineering, the concept of bandwidth is often subject to interpretation depending upon context and the requirements of a specific community. The focus of this work is to formulate this concept for a general class of passive oscillatory dynamical systems, including but not limited to mechanical, structural, acoustic, electrical, and optical. Typically, the bandwidth of these systems is determined by the half-power (-3 dB) method, and the result is often referred to as half-power bandwidth. The fundamental assumption underlying this definition is that the system performance degrades once its power decreases by 50%; moreover, there are restrictive conditions that are rarely met. Here the concept of root mean square bandwidth is considered, justified by the Fourier uncertainty principle, to generalize the definition of bandwidth to encompass linear and nonlinear, single and multi-mode, low and high loss and time-varying and invariant oscillating systems. By tying the bandwidth of an oscillatory dynamical system directly to its dissipative capacity, one can formulate a definition based solely on its transient energy evolution, effectively circumventing the previous restrictions. Further, applications are given that highlight the limitations of the traditional half-power bandwidth; including a Duffing oscillator with hardening nonlinearity, and a geometrically nonlinear oscillator with tunable hardening or softening nonlinearity. The resulting energy-dependent bandwidth computations are compatible with the nonlinear dynamics of these systems, since at low energies they recover the half-power bandwidth, whereas at high energies they accurately capture the nonlinear physics. Moreover, the bandwidth computation is directly tied to nonlinear harmonic generation in the transient dynamics.

A multiple scattering formulation for finite-size flexural metasurfaces

description: We provide an analytical formulation to model the propagation of elastic waves in a homogeneous half-space supporting an array of thin plates. The technique provides the displacement field obtained from the interaction between an incident wave generated by a harmonic source and the scattered fields induced by the flexural motion of the plates. The scattered field generated by each plate is calculated using an ad-hoc set of Green's functions. The interaction between the incident field and the scattered fields is modeled through a multiple scattering formulation. Owing to the introduction of the multiple scattering formalism, the proposed technique can handle a generic set of plates arbitrarily arranged on the half-space surface. The method is validated via comparison with finite element simulations considering Rayleigh waves interacting with a single and a collection of thin plates. Our framework can be used to investigate the interaction of vertically polarized surface waves and flexural resonators in different engineering contexts, from the design of novel surface acoustic wave devices to the interpretation of urban vibrations problems.

description: Topological phases open a door to such intriguing phenomena as unidirectional propagation and disorder-resilient localization at a stable frequency. Recently discovered higher-order topological phases further extend the concept of topological protection enabling versatile control over localization in multiple dimensions. Motivated by the recent advances in quantum technologies such as large coherently operating qubit ensembles, we predict and investigate the higher-order topological phase of entangled photon pairs emerging due to the effective photon-photon interaction. Being feasible for state-of-the-art experimental capabilities, the designed model provides an interesting example of interaction-induced topological transitions in the few-particle two-dimensional system.

description: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides feature tightly bound bright excitons at the degenerate valleys, where electron-hole Coulomb exchange interaction strongly couples the valley pseudospin to the momentum of exciton. Placed on periodically structured dielectric substrate, the spatial modulation of the Coulomb interaction leads to the formation of exciton Bloch states with real-space valley pseudospin texture displayed in a mesoscopic supercell. We find this spatial valley texture in the exciton Bloch function is pattern-locked to the propagation direction, enabling nano-optical excitation of directional exciton flow through the valley selection rule. The left-right directionality of the injected exciton current is controlled by the circular polarization of excitation, while the angular directionality is controlled by the excitation location, exhibiting a vortex pattern in a supercell. The phenomenon is reminiscent of the chiral light-matter interaction in nano-photonics structures, with the role of the guided electromagnetic wave now replaced by the valley-orbit coupled exciton Bloch wave in a uniform monolayer, which points to new excitonic devices with non-reciprocal functionalities.

description: Optimal transport theory has recently reemerged as a vastly resourceful field of mathematics with elegant applications across physics and computer science. Harnessing methods from geometry processing, we report on the efficient implementation for a specific problem in cosmology -- the reconstruction of the linear density field from low redshifts, in particular the recovery of the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale. We demonstrate our algorithm's accuracy by retrieving the BAO scale in noise-less cosmological simulations that are dedicated to cancel cosmic variance; we find uncertainties to be reduced by a factor of 4.3 compared with performing no reconstruction, and a factor of 3.1 compared with standard reconstruction.

According to ISPM 31, it is usually not feasible to inspect entire consignments, so phytosanitary inspection is performed mainly on samples obtained from a consignment. It is noted that the sampling concepts presented in this standard may also apply to other phytosanitary procedures, notably selection of units for testing. For inspection, testing and/or surveillance purposes the sample may be taken according to a statistically based or a non-statistical sampling methodology.

This information sheet is a supporting document to Appendix A (‘Standardised checklist of risk reduction options’) of the Guidance of the EFSA Plant Health Panel on quantitative pest risk assessment.

description: Free-space coupling to strongly subwavelength individual optical elements is a central theme in quantum optics, as it allows to control and manipulate the properties of quantum systems. In this work, we show that by combining an asymmetric immersion lens setup and complementary design of metasurfaces we are able to perform THz time-domain spectroscopy of an individual, strongly subwavelength (d/λ0=1/20) meta-atom. We unravel the linewidth dependence of planar metamaterials as a function of the meta-atom number indicating quenching of the Dicke superradiance. On these grounds, we investigate ultrastrongly coupled Landau polaritons at the single resonator level, measuring a normalized coupling ratio of Ω/ω=0.60 resulting from coupling of the fundamental mode to a few thousand electrons. Similar measurements on a low loss, less doped two dimensional electron gas yield a coupling ratio Ω/ω=0.33 with a cooperativity C=4g^2/κγ= 94. Interestingly, the coupling strength of a coupled single resonator is the same as of a coupled array. Our findings pave the way towards the control of light-matter interaction in the ultrastrong coupling regime at the single electron/single resonator level. The proposed technique is way more general and can be useful to characterize the complex conductivity of micron-sized samples in the THz and sub-THz domain.

description: We construct an expression for a general lepton flavour universality (LFU) ratio, $R_{X}$, in $b\to s l^+ l^-$ decays in terms of a series of hadronic quantities which can be treated as nuisance parameters. This expression allows to include any LFU ratio in global fits of $b\to s l^+ l^-$ short-distance parameters, even in the absence of a precise knowledge of the corresponding hadronic structure. The absence of sizeable LFU violation and the approximate left-handed structure of the Standard Model amplitude imply that only a very limited set of hadronic parameters hamper the sensitivity of $R_X$ to a possible LFU violation of short-distance origin. A global $b\to s l^+ l^-$ combination is performed including the measurement of $R_{pK}$ for the first time, resulting in a significance of new physics of $4.2\,σ$. In light of this, we evaluate the impact on the global significance of new physics using a set of experimentally promising non-exclusive $R_X$ measurements that LHCb can perform, and find that they can significantly increase the discovery potential of the experiment.

description: Organizations increasingly build operations on enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. However, ERP implementation projects require significant process transformation and standardization to successfully use ERP systems. This article presents a case study in a manufacturing corporation to demonstrate how process mining can be used for process decisionmaking in an SAP S/4 HANA implementation project. In particular, the corporation implements process mining for the analysis of the SAP purchase-to-pay (“Purchas-ing”) and the order-to-cash (“Sales”) processes to determine whether the future to-be process should be standardized according to ERP standards, or to be individualized in a corporate-specific template. Further, process mining can be used to select suitable standard process specifications from the SAP Best Practices Explorer, as well as to analyze the required process changes before the launch of the new ERP system and process implementations.

We developed the numerical solution for the non-local distortion function, which encompass the modifications to the Einstein-Hilbert action, using the reconstruction procedure and we have found that they have a viable cosmological solution. Afterwards, we discussed the physical aspects and outcomes of the evolution of the distortion function throughout the bouncing point for these models, specifically: the symmetric bounce, oscillatory bounce, the matter bounce, finite time singularity model, and the pre-inflationary asymmetrical bounce.

description: The derivation of ultimate limits to communication over certain quantum repeater networks have provided extremely valuable benchmarks for assessing near-term quantum communication protocols. However, these bounds are usually derived in the limit of ideal devices and leave questions about the performance of practical implementations unanswered. To address this challenge, we quantify how the presence of loss in repeater stations affect the maximum attainable rates for quantum communication over linear repeater chains and more complex quantum networks. Extending the framework of node splitting, we model the loss introduced at the repeater stations and then prove the corresponding limits. In the linear chain scenario we show that, by increasing the number of repeater stations, the maximum rate cannot overcome a quantity which solely depends on the loss of a single station. We introduce a way of adapting the standard machinery for obtaining bounds to this realistic scenario. The difference is that whilst ultimate limits for any strategy can be derived given a fixed channel, when the repeaters introduce additional decoherence, then the effective overall channel is itself a function of the chosen repeater strategy (e.g., one-way versus two-way classical communication). Classes of repeater strategies can be analysed using additional modelling and the subsequent bounds can be interpreted as the optimal rate within that class.

description: At first light, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) near-infrared (NIR) instruments will be fed by a multiconjugate adaptive optics instrument known as the Narrow Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System (NFIRAOS). NFIRAOS will use six laser guide stars to sense atmospheric turbulence in a volume corresponding to a field of view of 2', but natural guide stars (NGSs) will be required to sense tip/tilt and focus. To achieve high sky coverage (50% at the north Galactic pole), the NFIRAOS client instruments use NIR on-instrument wavefront sensors that take advantage of the sharpening of the stars by NFIRAOS. A catalog of guide stars with NIR magnitudes as faint as 22 mag in the J band (Vega system), covering the TMT-observable sky, will be a critical resource for the efficient operation of NFIRAOS, and no such catalog currently exists. Hence, it is essential to develop such a catalog by computing the expected NIR magnitudes of stellar sources identified in deep optical sky surveys using their optical magnitudes. This paper discusses the generation of a partial NIR Guide Star Catalog (IRGSC), similar to the final IRGSC for TMT operations. The partial catalog is generated by applying stellar atmospheric models to the optical data of stellar sources from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) optical data and then computing their expected NIR magnitudes. We validated the computed NIR magnitudes of the sources in some fields by using the available NIR data for those fields. We identified the remaining challenges of this approach. We outlined the path for producing the final IRGSC using the Pan-STARRS data. We have named the Python code to generate the IRGSC as irgsctool, which generates a list of NGS for a field using optical data from the Pan-STARRS 3pi survey and also a list of NGSs having observed NIR data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey if they are available.

description: Linear Mixed Effects (LME) models are powerful statistical tools that have been employed in many different real-world applications such as retail data analytics, marketing measurement, and medical research. Statistical inference is often conducted via maximum likelihood estimation with Normality assumptions on the random effects. Nevertheless, for many applications in the retail industry, it is often necessary to consider non-Normal distributions on the random effects when considering the unknown parameters' business interpretations. Motivated by this need, a linear mixed effects model with possibly non-Normal distribution is studied in this research. We propose a general estimating framework based on a saddlepoint approximation (SA) of the probability density function of the dependent variable, which leads to constrained nonlinear optimization problems. The classical LME model with Normality assumption can then be viewed as a special case under the proposed general SA framework. Compared with the existing approach, the proposed method enhances the real-world interpretability of the estimates with satisfactory model fits.
Muon $g-2$, $B\to K^{(*)}μ^+ μ^-$ anomalies, and leptophilic dark matter in $U(1)_{μ-τ}$ gauge symmetry

description: We propose a new class of $U(1)_{μ-τ}$ gauged model that can explain recent flavor anomalies such as muon $g-2$, $b\to sμ^+ μ^-$, as well as include a scalar dark matter candidate while satisfying all the phenomenological constraints. For this purpose, we add new vectorlike quarks and leptons as well as two inert singlet scalars, one leptophilic and the other leptophobic. In our model $b\to sμ^+ μ^-$ anomalies can be explained by loop induced interactions among the SM and exotic quarks and $Z'$ gauge boson. In our numerical analysis, we show allowed region of our model to be narrow, and it would be tested soon, for example by searching for 4 muons and dimuon + missing transverse momentum from $pp \to μ^+ μ^- Z'$ and $pp \to ν_{μ,τ} \bar ν_{μ,τ} Z'$ followed by $Z' \to μ^+ μ^- , ν_{μ,τ} \bar ν_{μ,τ} $ at the LHC.

description: The solar wind, when measured close to 1 au, is found to flow mostly radially outward. There are, however, periods when the flow makes angles up to 15$^\circ$ away from the radial direction, both in the east-west and north-south directions. Stream interaction regions (SIRs) are a common cause of east-west flow deflections. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may be associated with non-radial flows in at least two different ways: 1) the deflection of the solar wind in the sheath region, especially close to the magnetic ejecta front boundary, may result in large non-radial flows, 2) the expansion of the magnetic ejecta may include a non-radial component which should be easily measured when the ejecta is crossed away from its central axis. In this work, we first present general statistics of non-radial solar wind flows as measured by STEREO/PLASTIC throughout the first 13 years of the mission, focusing on solar cycle variation. We then focus on the larger deflection flow angles and determine that most of these are associated with SIRs near solar minimum and with CMEs near solar maximum. However, we find no clear evidence of strongly deflected flows, as would be expected if large deflections around the magnetic ejecta or ejecta with elliptical cross-sections with large eccentricities are common. We use these results to develop a better understanding of CME expansion and the nature of magnetic ejecta, and point to shortcomings in our understanding of CMEs.

description: Additional file1: S.1. Inoculation and biomass enrichment supplementary information includes preparation of the inoculum start-up and operation information of the biological methanation tubular reactor during different phases. Table S.1 Composition of the applied 1 × nutrient solution was as follows. To prepare the nutrient solution, a sterilized filtration unit was used. After preparing the nutrient mixture, the solution was either degassed with N2 for 5 min or kept overnight in the anaerobic workbench for the media of the tubular foam-bed bioreactor, which included 1.5 % (w/v) Pluronic® F-68 agent. In the final step and before usage, the sterilized Na2S·9H2O solution was added. In phase (I), the media included 10 % (v/v) formic acid as a co-carbon source.
System-size dependence of a jam-absorption driving strategy to remove traffic jam caused by a sag under the presence of traffic instability

description: Sag is a road section where a downhill changes into an uphill, and is a highway bottleneck. We consider a system in which all vehicles are connected, and run on a single-lane road with a sag. We propose a simple strategy for removing each traffic jam caused by the sag. Our strategy assigns a vehicle upstream of the jam front to perform the jam-absorption driving (JAD): running toward the predicted goal, and finally removing the jam. We use a microscopic car-following model possessing the traffic instability, an acceleration model against the road gradient of a sag, and an instantaneous fuel consumption model. Our main goal is to elucidate the influence of the system size (the number of vehicles in the system) on our strategy. By increasing the system size from 500 to 10000 vehicles, we have found the following results for the average total travel time per vehicle, and the average total fuel consumption per vehicle. Our strategy can reduce the former with a slightly increasing rate of reduction. Our strategy can reduce the latter with a rate of reduction which decreases and becomes roughly constant. Optimal spatiotemporal scales of JAD for the former and the latter become roughly constant, respectively. Minimizing the former and the latter simultaneously is not possible. Not only vehicular traffic flow, but also the collective dynamics of other self-driven particles (such as ships, swarm robots, and pedestrians) lined up in a single column, and passing through a bottleneck can be modeled using our strategy.

description: Radio interferometers, such as the Low-Frequency Array and the future Square Kilometre Array, are attempting to measure the spherically averaged 21-cm power spectrum from the Epoch of Reionization. Understanding of the dominant physical processes which influence the power spectrum at each length-scale is therefore crucial for interpreting any future detection. We study a decomposition of the 21-cm power spectrum and quantify the evolution of its constituent terms for a set of numerical and semi-numerical simulations of a volume of $(714~\mathrm{Mpc})^3$, focusing on large scales with $k\lesssim 0.3$~Mpc$^{-1}$. We find that after $\sim 10$ per cent of the Universe has been ionized, the 21-cm power spectrum follows the power spectrum of neutral hydrogen fluctuations, which itself beyond a certain scale follows the matter power spectrum. Hence the signal has a two-regime form where the large-scale signal is a biased version of the cosmological density field, and the small-scale power spectrum is determined by the astrophysics of reionization. We construct a bias parameter to investigate the relation between the large-scale 21-cm signal and the cosmological density field. We find that the transition scale between the scale-independent and scale-dependent bias regimes is directly related to the value of the mean free path of ionizing photons ($λ_{\mathrm{MFP}}$), and is characterised by the empirical formula $k_{\mathrm{trans}} \approx 2/λ_{\mathrm{MFP}}$. Furthermore, we show that the numerical implementation of the mean free path effect has a significant impact on the shape of this transition. Most notably, the transition is more gradual if the mean free path effect is implemented as an absorption process rather than as a barrier.

description: Measuring the density of the intergalactic medium using quasar sightlines in the epoch of reionization is challenging due to the saturation of Lyman-$α$ absorption. Near a luminous quasar, however, the enhanced radiation creates a proximity zone observable in the quasar spectra where the Lyman-$α$ absorption is not saturated. In this study, we use $10$ high-resolution ($R\gtrsim 10,000$) $z\sim 6$ quasar spectra from the extended XQR-30 sample to measure the density field in the quasar proximity zones. We find a variety of environments within $3$ pMpc distance from the quasars. We compare the observed density cumulative distribution function (CDF) with models from the $\textit{Cosmic Reionization on Computers}$ simulation, and find a good agreement between $1.5$ to $3$pMpc from the quasar. This region is far away from the quasar hosts and hence approaching the mean density of the universe, which allows us to use the CDF to set constraints on the cosmological parameter $σ_8=0.6\pm0.3$. The uncertainty is mainly due to the limited number of high-quality quasar sightlines currently available. Utilizing the more than $>200$ known quasars at $z\gtrsim 6$, this method will allow us in the future to tighten the constraint on $σ_8$ to the percent level. In the region closer to the quasar within $1.5$ pMpc, we find the density is higher than predicted in the simulation by $1.23 \pm 0.17$, suggesting the typical host dark matter halo mass of a bright quasar ($M_{\rm 1450}
