description: Face morphing attacks seek to deceive a Face Recognition (FR) system by presenting a morphed image consisting of the biometric qualities from two different identities with the aim of triggering a false acceptance with one of the two identities, thereby presenting a significant threat to biometric systems. The success of a morphing attack is dependent on the ability of the morphed image to represent the biometric characteristics of both identities that were used to create the image. We present a novel morphing attack that uses a Diffusion-based architecture to improve the visual fidelity of the image and the ability of the morphing attack to represent characteristics from both identities. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed attack by evaluating its visual fidelity via the Frechet Inception Distance (FID). Also, extensive experiments are conducted to measure the vulnerability of FR systems to the proposed attack. The ability of a morphing attack detector to detect the proposed attack is measured and compared against two state-of-the-art GAN-based morphing attacks along with two Landmark-based attacks. Additionally, a novel metric to measure the relative strength between different morphing attacks is introduced and evaluated.

description: We present the results for the complete next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to $pp \to HH$ at the Large Hadron Collider, focusing on the dominant gluon-gluon fusion process. While the corrections at the total cross-section level are approximately $-4\%$, those near the energy of $HH$ production threshold exceed $+15\%$, and corrections at the high-energy region are around $-10\%$, leading to a shape distortion for the differential distributions. Our findings substantially diminish the theoretical uncertainties associated with this pivotal process, providing valuable input for understanding the shape of the Higgs boson potential upon comparison with experimental measurements.

description: This note presents a synthesis of '!CHAOS: a cloud of controls' proposal submitted to MIUR as Premiale 2012. The aim of this document is to underline the evolution of the !CHAOS project from a candidate of control systems (CS) for the SuperB accelerator to a prototype of Information Technology (IT) distributed infrastructure, to be dedicated not only to accelerators and large high energy physics (HEP) experiments, but also to the society as a whole and to the industries. In this framework, !CHAOS may potentially become an INFN product, a spinoff, a center of  competencies coming from HEP. Participant laboratories, Institutions and companies have currently undergone several changes with respect to the present document and part of the choices here described have been modified due to the reduction of the budget, the large delay in the delivery of the support and the reduction of personnel since the proposal idea.

description: Let $K$ be a number field and $G$ a finitely generated torsion-free subgroup of $K^\times$. Given a prime $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ we denote by ${\rm ind}_{\mathfrak p}(G)$ the index of the subgroup $(G\bmod\mathfrak p)$ of the multiplicative group of the residue field at $\mathfrak p$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we determine the natural density of primes of $K$ for which this index is in a prescribed set $S$ and has prescribed Frobenius in a finite Galois extension $F$ of $K$. We study in detail the natural density in case $S$ is an arithmetic progression, in particular its positivity.

description: The hybrid scheme of the positron source for SPARC_LAB LNF facility (Frascati, Italy) is proposed. The comparison of the positron yield in a thin amorphous W converter of 0.1 mm thickness produced by bremsstrahlung, by axial <100> and planar (110) channeling radiations in a W crystal is performed for the positron energy range of 1 3 MeV. It is shown that channeling radiation by 200 MeV electrons (parameters of SPARC LNF Frascati) in a 10 μm W crystal can produce positrons in the radiator of 0.1 mm thickness with the rate of 10'102 s-1 at planar channeling and of 103'104 s-1 at axial channeling.

description: In this work, a systematic procedure of analyzing marine propeller performance and its underwater acoustics is delineated. The main focus is laid on the numerical prediction of hull pressure fluctuations and far-field acoustics induced by marine propellers via frequency- or time-domain approaches. As the first step, a hydrodynamic boundary element method (BEM) is implemented to analyze the comprehensive marine propeller performance in open water and ship-behind conditions. An elaborate numerical scheme modeling developed tip vortex cavitation is proposed for cavitating propellers. In the frequency domain approach, a potential-based panel method (or pressure-BEM) solving for the diffraction potential on the ship hull is coupled with the hydrodynamic BEM to predict the propeller-induced hull pressure fluctuations. Infinite speed of sound is assumed in the near-field, neglecting the time travel of acoustic waves to reduce the Helmholtz equation to the Laplace equation, which can be solved by a standard BEM solver. Far-field underwater noise is investigated in the time domain using the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) formulation. The model propeller is mounted on the ship with an infinite plane assumed at the design draft to consider the pressure release or solid wall boundary conditions. Time-dependent surface quantities from the hydrodynamic analysis are taken as the known noise sources to the FW-H equation given in the form proposed by Farassat. The complex hull geometry and its disturbance to the medium are considered by solving the boundary integral equations. A half-space domain is modeled by modifying standard full-space Green’s function to consider the image model beyond the infinite plane. The propeller-induced noise, its reflections from the hull, and their sums as the total noise will be investigated in full-space or half-space domains. Numerical predictions, including the time history of acoustic pressures and noise spectra, under various operating conditions are compared with experimental measurements, observations, and results from finite volume methods to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the present method

description: Electrically percolating nanowire networks are amongst the most promising candidates for next-generation transparent electrodes. Scientific interest in these materials stems from their intrinsic current distribution heterogeneity, leading to phenomena like percolating pathway re-routing and localized self-heating, which can cause irreversible damage. Without an experimental technique to resolve the current distribution, and an underpinning nonlinear percolation model, one relies on empirical rules and safety factors to engineer these materials. We introduce Bose-Einstein microscopy to address the long-standing problem of imaging active current flow in 2D materials. We report on improvement of the performance of this technique, whereby observation of dynamic redistribution of current pathways becomes feasible. We show how this, combined with existing thermal imaging methods, eliminates the need for assumptions between electrical and thermal properties. This will enable testing and modelling individual junction behaviour and hotspot formation. Investigating both reversible and irreversible mechanisms will contribute to the advancement of devices with improved performance and reliability.

description: We consider the strategic interaction of $n$ investors who are able to influence a stock price process and at the same time measure their utilities relative to the other investors. Our main aim is to find Nash equilibrium investment strategies in this setting in a financial market driven by a Brownian motion and investigate the influence the price impact has on the equilibrium. We consider both CRRA and CARA utility functions. Our findings show that the problem is well-posed as long as the price impact is at most linear. Moreover, numerical results reveal that the investors behave very aggressively when the price impact is beyond a critical parameter.

description: RESEACH BACKGROUND Over several years, Australian institutions have been great supporters of the Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, whose appeal in the experience economy is obvious. The technical virtuosity, spectacular scale and intensity of his installations draws crowds wherever they are shown. Prolific documentation cannot replace the physical encounter of being exposed to it, because the "immersive" scale and soundscape are integral to the encounter. This review essay explores the process by which the public is integrated into Ikeda's installations to become part of a spectacular flow of data visualisation. CONTRIBUTION Building on existing critiques of the spectacular nature of the 21st century art museum, this essay explores the mutual dependence between galleries and Instagram/YouTube. It scrutinizing press releases of Australian galleries who have shown and collected Ikeda's work, and compares this rhetoric to the documentation of the same works, concluding that while inter-subjective encounters are celebrated, in the documentation viewers inevitably appear isolated and passive. The research also suggests that the fact Ikeda's works are re-versioned in multiple formats to suit various venues reminds us that data itself is never immaterial, but supported by complex infrastructure. SIGNIFICANCE This review essay appeared in a themed issue of the national art journal Artlink called 'Human Flow', commissioned by the Artlink editor Eve Sullivan. ARTLINK is a themed quarterly art journal, founded in 1981, funded by the Australia Council and Arts SA. Artlink is not currently listed on the approved venues list, but should be. As the journal website notes: "Artlink has peer review status as an independent journal of critical writing on the contemporary visual arts in compliance with the HERDC specifications and is listed on the ARC ERA 2012 journal list."

description: In this paper, I cut the cost of Y basis measurement and initialization in the surface code by nearly an order of magnitude. Fusing twist defects diagonally across the surface code patch reaches the Y basis in $\lfloor d/2 \rfloor + 2$ rounds, without leaving the bounding box of the patch and without reducing the code distance. I use Monte Carlo sampling to benchmark the performance of the construction under circuit noise, and to analyze the distribution of logical errors. Cheap inplace Y basis measurement reduces the cost of S gates and magic state factories, and unlocks Pauli measurement tomography of surface code qubits on space-limited hardware.

description: Phosphorus-based Mannich-type reactions (phospha-Mannich reactions) of primary or secondary phosphines with carbonyl compounds and amines (R2NH, RNH2, and NH3) provide a powerful synthetic tool in the worldwide search for future ligands. The variety of amines and phosphines available allows for designing and fine-tuning water-soluble, chiral, macrocyclic, pincer, tripodal, photoactive, and etc., phosphine ligands with P–C–N linkage(s) (P,N-acetals). Aminized supports and amine-terminated dendrimers can easily be phosphine-functionalized by phospha-Mannich reactions, and used in reusable heterogeneous catalysts. If CH2O is used as a C-component, its stable adducts with phosphines, that is, RP(CH2OH)2 and R2PCH2OH, are often used in syntheses of P,N-acetals as they are less toxic and non-pyrophoric analogs of the phosphines, whereas other carbonyl compounds are usually converted into imines or iminium salts. In phospha-Mannich reactions, tertiary phosphines form a P+–C–N linkage (P+,N-acetals) that can easily be broken by bases, realizing imine, or iminium cations, and are used as imine/iminium donors in organic syntheses.

description: We consider dynamical low-rank approximation (DLRA) for the numerical simulation of Vlasov--Poisson equations based on separation of space and velocity variables, as proposed in several recent works. The standard approach for the time integration in the DLRA model uses a splitting of the tangent space projector for the low-rank manifold according to the separated variables. It can also be modified to allow for rank-adaptivity. A less studied aspect is the incorporation of boundary conditions in the DLRA model. We propose a variational formulation of the projector splitting which allows to handle inflow boundary conditions on spatial domains with piecewise linear boundary. Numerical experiments demonstrate the principle feasibility of this approach.

description: Using first-principle numerical simulations of the lattice SU(3) gauge theory, we calculate the isothermal moment of inertia of the rigidly rotating gluon plasma. We find that the moment of inertia unexpectedly takes a negative value below the "supervortical temperature" $T_s = 1.50(10) T_c$, vanishes at $T = T_s$, and becomes a positive quantity at higher temperatures. The negative moment of inertia indicates a thermodynamic instability of rigid rotation. We derive the condition of thermodynamic stability of the vortical plasma and show how it relates to the scale anomaly and the magnetic gluon condensate. The rotational instability of gluon plasma shares a striking similarity with the rotational instabilities of spinning Kerr and Myers-Perry black holes.

Exclusive dielectron production in ultraperipheral Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with ATLAS
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2023

description: Exclusive production of dielectron pairs, γγ → e +e −, is studied using Lint = 1.72 nb−1 of data from ultraperipheral collisions of lead nuclei at √sNN = 5.02 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The process of interest proceeds via photon–photon interactions in the strong electromagnetic fields of relativistic lead nuclei. Dielectron production is measured in the fiducial region defined by following requirements: electron transverse momentum p e T > 2.5 GeV, absolute electron pseudorapidity |η e | < 2.5, dielectron invariant mass mee > 5 GeV, and dielectron transverse momentum p ee T < 2 GeV. Differential cross-sections are measured as a function of mee, average p e T , absolute dielectron rapidity |yee|, and scattering angle in the dielectron rest frame, | cos θ ∗ |, in the inclusive sample, and also with a requirement of no activity in the forward direction. The total integrated fiducial cross-section is measured to be 215 ± 1(stat.) +23 −20(syst.) ± 4(lumi.) µb. Within experimental uncertainties the measured integrated cross-section is in good agreement with the QED predictions from the Monte Carlo programs Starlight and SuperChic, confirming the broad features of the initial photon fluxes. The differential cross-sections show systematic differences from these predictions which are more pronounced at high |yee| and | cos θ ∗ | values.

description: Quantum walks have been used to develop quantum algorithms since their inception, and can be seen as an alternative to the usual circuit model; combining single-particle quantum walks on sparse graphs with two-particle scattering on a line lattice is sufficient to perform universal quantum computation. In this work we solve the problem of two-particle scattering on the line lattice for a family of interactions without translation invariance, recovering the Bose-Hubbard interaction as the limiting case. Due to its generality, our systematic approach lays the groundwork to solve the more general problem of multi-particle scattering on general graphs, which in turn can enable design of different or simpler quantum gates and gadgets. As a consequence of this work, we show that a CPHASE gate can be achieved with high fidelity when the interaction acts only on a small portion of the line graph.

Prospects for constraining quasar ages with fiber spectrographs: quasar-induced Ly$α$ emission from the intergalactic medium

description: We present a theoretical framework for linking quasar properties, such as quasar age, to the surrounding Ly$α$ emission intensity. In particular, we focus on a method for mapping the large-scale structure of Ly$α$ emission intensity with galaxy spectra from wide-field spectroscopic surveys, e.g., the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) or the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), and consider the quasar-induced Ly$α$ emission from the intergalactic medium (IGM). To do this, we construct a theoretical model based on two physical processes: resonant scattering of quasar Ly$α$ photons and fluorescence due to quasar ionizing photons, finding that the fluorescence contribution due to optically thick gas clouds is dominant. Taking into account the light cone effect and assuming a typical quasar spectrum, we calculate the fluorescence contribution to the spectrum stacked within each bin of the separation angle from the quasar as a function of quasar age. Furthermore, we compute the quasar-Ly$α$ emission cross-correlation and its SNR for the planned PFS survey. The predicted signal can only account for $\sim10\%$ of the measurements indicated from the BOSS and eBOSS surveys in the outer region of $> 10\ \rm{cMpc}\ \rm{h}^{-1}$, and the predicted SNR is not sufficient to detect the quasar-induced contribution. However, we found that our model, combined with the contribution of star-forming galaxies, is not in conflict with these measurements. We discuss other possible contributions to the Ly$α$ emission excess around quasars, the efficiency of using spectroscopic fibers, and the redshift dependence of our model.

description: Research background Cookbooks of the Damned is creative nonfiction exploring the relationship between the constraints of literary criticism and the affordances of memoir. Longform literary criticism has been shown to intersect with genres including memoir by authors sucha s Zadie Smith and Ellena Savage; meanwhile food writing has long been practiced as memoir by authors such as MFK Fisher. However the cookbook review is most frequently practiced, published and received as service journalism. When practicing the cookbook review as literary memoir, what is revealed about the constraints and possibilities of form (such as those found in the book review, those of the memoir, those of the cookbook itself)? Research contribution Far from cutting off possibilities for exploring writing or life, a cookbook review can add its own conceptual structures (the ingredients list, the instructional text, the trope of recounting a cooking event) to those practiced in memoir, so becoming tools for creating character, performing voice, and investigating time in the world, each of which are examined in contrast with how they are used in the cookbook. In this way, the implicit aim of this creative piece - to evaluate the cookbook - creates tension with the implicit aims of memoir. Research significance This research presents new ways for creative nonfiction to match the subject under discussion - allowing the form of the book under review to influence the form and content of the review. This project was commissioned by the Sydney Review of Books, a premier journal of longform review, and noted by the editor as the first cookbook review they've published. It advanced my experiments with creative nonfiction that works with food and lifestyle artefacts, e.g. Salad Days (Penguin Specials 2014).

description: The easiest route to form compounds with P–Csp3–N linkage(s) is phosphorus-based Mannich-type reactions (phospha-Mannich reactions) between phosphines (R3P, R2PH, RPH2, PH3), carbonyl compounds (mainly CH2O) and amines (R2NH, RNH2, NH3). Because of toxicity and inflammability, applications of PH3 and its liquid analog (Me3Si)3P in such reactions are rare. Stable, less toxic, and non-pyrophoric adducts of PH3 with CH2O, i.e., tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (HOCH2)3P and tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium (HOCH2)4P+ salts, are often used as both P- and C-sources in phospha-Mannich reactions, providing many acyclic and cyclic P,N-ligands, among which 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) is most known. Phospha-Mannich reactions of (HOCH2)4P+ salts with urea form condensation products that are used to impart fire retardance to cotton materials, the most important and oldest area of application of the salts. The use of (HOCH2)3P and (HOCH2)4P+ salts as cross-linking agents in protein-based hydrogel manufacturing, enzyme immobilization on NH2-containing supports, and leather tanning, is also based on phospha-Mannich reactions and ability to form P–CH2–N linkages with amino acids residues. Mechanistic aspects of phospha-Mannich reactions are discussed.

description: We study the $O(3)$ critical model and the free theory of a scalar triplet in the presence of a magnetic impurity. We use analytic bootstrap techniques to extract results in the $\varepsilon$-expansion. First, we extend by one order in perturbation theory the computation of the beta function for the defect coupling in the free theory. Then, we analyze in detail the low-lying spectrum of defect operators, focusing on their perturbative realization when the defect is constructed as a path-ordered exponential. After this, we consider two different bulk two-point functions and we compute them using the defect dispersion relation. For a free bulk theory, we are able to fix the form of the correlator at all orders in $\varepsilon$. In particular, taking $\varepsilon\to1$, we can show that in $d=3$ one does not have a consistent and non-trivial defect CFT. For an interacting bulk, we compute the correlator up to second order in $\varepsilon$. Expanding these results in the bulk and defect block expansions, we are able to extract an infinite set of defect CFT data. We discuss low-spin ambiguities that affect every result computed through the dispersion relation and we use a combination of consistency conditions and explicit diagrammatic calculations to fix this ambiguity.

description: An action of a compact, in particular finite group on a C*-algebra is called properly outer if no automorphism of the group that is distinct from identity is implemented by a unitary element of the algebra of local multipliers of the C*-algebra. In this paper I define the notion of strictly outer action (similar to the definition for von Neumann factors in [11]) and prove that for finite groups it is equivalent with proper outerness of the action. For finite abelian groups this is equivalent with other relevant properities of the action.

description: For an (imaginary) hyperelliptic curve $ \mathcal{H} $ of genus $g$, with a Weierstrass point $Ω$, taken as the point at infinity, we determine a basis of the Riemann-Roch space $\mathcal{L}(Δ+ m Ω)$, where $Δ$ is of degree zero, directly from the Mumford representation of $Δ$. This provides in turn a generating matrix of a Goppa code.

description: Q-balls are non-topological solitons arising in scalar field theories. Solutions for rotating Q-balls (and the related boson stars) have been shown to exist when the angular momentum is equal to an integer multiple of the Q-ball charge $Q$. Here we consider the possibility of classically long-lived metastable rotating Q-balls with small angular momentum, even for large charge, for all scalar theories that support non-rotating Q-balls. This is relevant for rotating extensions of Q-balls and related solitons such as boson stars as it impacts their cosmological phenomenology.

description: Biomolecular piezoelectrics, such as amino acids and peptides, exhibit significant shear piezoelectric responses in single crystal form. However, naturally occurring longitudinal piezoelectricity is rare and, when present, is dampened due to the multi-directional self-assembly in polycrystalline device layers. Here we utilise cocrystallisation to engineer a multicomponent crystalline salt hydrate of S–(+)–Mandelic Acid and L–Lysine, S-Mand•L-Lys•5H2O (1). This material exhibits a predicted single crystal longitudinal piezoelectric response of d33 = 3.5 pC/N. In polycrystalline form, 1 grows as an assembly of plates which increases the measured longitudinal piezoelectricity to 11 pC/N in its macroscopic solid-state. This is due to contributions from the shear piezoelectric response d36 = 10.8 pC/N, originating from the presence of plates oriented at acute angles relative to the surface. The brittleness of the crystals (E = 37 GPa) is overcome by reinforcing the substrate-free piezoelectric disc with a thin polymer coating to prevent flaking. Structural analysis confirms that the triclinic structure of 1 gives rise to this increased response due to the relative orientations of individual crystallites. Confined crystallisation of this multi-component form with a plate-like morphology, results in macroscopic self-assembly of an amino acid cocrystal that allows for the harvesting of higher shear piezoelectricity, but in a facile longitudinal configuration.

description: We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate neurological toxicities with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) in cancer patients. Databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from 1 January 2000 to 1 November 2023. Forty-six RCTs and 9529 patients were included. PARPis could increase the risk of all-grade headache [risk ratio (RR), 1.22; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.14–1.30; P < 0.00001], dizziness (RR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.28–1.53; P < 0.00001), dysgeusia (RR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.44–2.60; P < 0.0001) and insomnia (RR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.09–1.60; P < 0.0001) in cancer patients. Headache was the most common neurological toxicity. Niraparib was associated with a higher risk of headache and insomnia, talazoparib with a higher risk of dizziness and rucaparib with a higher risk of dysgeusia. Breast cancer patients receiving PARPis have a higher risk of dysgeusia, while ovarian cancer patients are at an increased risk of insomnia. PARPis may increase the risk of mild to moderate neurological toxicities, but not severe ones.
Your Father Would Be So Proud: A Study on Family Collective Memory of a Deceased Parent

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Hillary Blunt wrote this paper in the Fall 2012 semester for SOC 310, the Sociology & Anthropology Department seminar on collective memory. The field of collective memory studies examines the social patterning of memories, the role of shared ideas about the past in group identity, and the idea that we can "remember" and care deeply about things we never personally experienced (such as the American Revolution, the Holocaust, etc.). In this paper, Hillary draws on concepts that other scholars have developed at a macro level and skillfully applies them at a micro level, using a case study of her family's memory of her deceased father. She persuasively argues that a surviving child of a deceased parent can fruitfully be seen as both a form of memory and a trigger for others' memory, and she explores intentional and unintentional forms of remembrance within families. Her paper builds a strong case that sociological scholarship on memory should pay greater attention to families and small groups as crucial sites of collective memory construction.
description: I knew from the moment I started learning about collective memory studies that I wanted to do this project. Through my research, I explored the collective memory of a deceased parent that a child develops through the family. I originally wanted to do a lot more with the paper, but ended up focusing primarily on memory sharing through story telling and picture sharing. The paper has a lot of personal meaning for me and it was a great way for me to reconnect with family and my roots while exploring an aspect of collective memory that I found exciting and one that has not been researched significantly.

description: Crater detection can provide valuable information for humans to explore the topography and understand the history of extraterrestrial planets. Due to the significantly varying scenario distributions, existing detection models trained on known labelled crater datasets are hardly effective when applied to new unlabelled planets. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage adaptive network (TAN) for semi-supervised cross-domain crater detection. Our network is built on the YOLOv5 detector, where a series of strategies are employed to enhance its cross-domain generalisation ability. In the first stage, we propose an attention-based scale-adaptive fusion (ASAF) strategy to handle objects with significant scale variances. Furthermore, we propose a smoothing hard example mining (SHEM) loss function to address the issue of overfitting on hard examples. In the second stage, we propose a sort-based pseudo-labelling fine-tuning (SPF) strategy for semi-supervised learning to mitigate the distributional differences between source and target domains. For both stages, we employ weak or strong image augmentation to suit different cross-domain tasks. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed network can enhance domain adaptation ability for crater detection under varying scenario distributions.

description: We show, theoretically and experimentally, how the absolute orientation and polarization state of radio-frequency (RF) magnetic fields in a transverse 2D plane can be uniquely determined using two optically pumped atomic magnetometers. In addition, the output signals from these quantum sensors can be readily expressed as a magnetic Jones vector. This composite device can complement electric field detection in finding RF directions, or it can be used in applications where the electric field is negligible. The latter is found in a myriad of applications where the source can be modeled as radiating magnetic dipoles in the near-field limit. This new tool could be used to characterize a material's response to RF excitation or to distinguish signal from noise.
