description: In schweizerischen Haushalten werden am zweitmeisten Lebensmittel verschwendet im Vergleich mit den anderen Ländern. Dies sind pro Jahr 2.8 Millionen Tonnen. In der Tendenz steigt diese Zahl eher, als das sie minimiert wird. In Anbetracht der Lebensmittelversorgungskette in der Schweiz, werden von den 2.8 Millionen Tonnen am meisten Lebensmitteln auf dem Weg vom Feld bis auf den Teller verschwendet. Der Anteil von schweizerischen Haushalten ist an zweiter Stelle. Eine Reduzierung der Lebensmittelverschwendung in den Haushalten setzt voraus, dass sich alle Personen in der Bevölkerung hinterfragen, wie sie Food Waste vermeiden können. Bereits heute wird in der Schweiz auf die Lebensmittelverschwendung geachtet. Einige Massnahmen, die der Bundesrat in einem Aktionsplan zusammengefasst hat, sehen jedoch nur die Minimierung in der Produktion oder in der Logistik vor und nicht in den Haushalten. Das Leben wird immer mehr digitalisiert.
So bestehen bereits einige Apps, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben, etwas gegen Food Waste zu unternehmen. Viele dieser Apps zielen jedoch nicht auf die Minimierung in den persönlichen Haushalten, sondern auf die Senkung der Lebensmittelverschwendung in den Gastrobereichen ab. Das Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit ist die Beantwortung, ob es möglich ist, auf der Grundlage des Design Science Research eine Webapp zu entwickeln, die es privaten Haushalten ermöglichen sollte, Lebensmittel zu verbrauchen anstelle zu verschwenden. Um diese Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde ein Prototyp einer solchen Applikation auf der Basis des Design Science Research erstellt. Anhand verschiedener Personas und Use Cases wurden Anforderungen erhoben und mit Mockups das Design illustriert. Unter Einbezug von vielen Umsystemen wie etwa ChatGPT für die Generierung von Rezepten in der Webapp, konnte technisch im Frontend und Backend viele der Anforderungen umgesetzt werden.
Der fertige Prototyp wurde einer ausgewählten Zielgruppe für einen ersten Testversuch zur Verfügung gestellt. Nach dem Testen wurden die Erfahrungen in einer Umfrage festgehalten. Die Antworten auf den Fragebogen und die Webapp zeigen, dass das Thema Food Waste durch die ganze Altersspanne der Testgruppe bekannt ist. Auch wurden unter anderem allfällige Wünsche für Funktionen in der Webapp erhoben. Durch die ausführlichen Rückmeldungen konnten weitere Schritte und Handlungsempfehlungen für die Zukunft abgeleitet werden. Diese umfassen die Anpassung einzelner Funktionen oder das Hinzufügen neuer Funktionen. Auf diesen Erkenntnissen kann die Webapp in Zukunft weiterentwickelt werden, sodass sie in der Schweiz hoffentlich vermehrt auf Anklang stossen wird.

description: Non-textual components such as charts, diagrams and tables provide key information in many scientific documents, but the lack of large labeled datasets has impeded the development of data-driven methods for scientific figure extraction. In this paper, we induce high-quality training labels for the task of figure extraction in a large number of scientific documents, with no human intervention. To accomplish this we leverage the auxiliary data provided in two large web collections of scientific documents (arXiv and PubMed) to locate figures and their associated captions in the rasterized PDF. We share the resulting dataset of over 5.5 million induced labels---4,000 times larger than the previous largest figure extraction dataset---with an average precision of 96.8%, to enable the development of modern data-driven methods for this task. We use this dataset to train a deep neural network for end-to-end figure detection, yielding a model that can be more easily extended to new domains compared to previous work. The model was successfully deployed in Semantic Scholar, a large-scale academic search engine, and used to extract figures in 13 million scientific documents.

description: Introduction: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They are associated with healthcare costs due to hospital admissions or prolonged length of stay, as well as additional interventions. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of observational studies to evaluate the economic impact of preventable ADRs. Areas covered: Published observational research investigating the cost of preventable ADRs in Western countries (limited to the USA and European countries). Expert opinion: Several reviews have been carried out in the field of the ADR epidemiology but fewer reviews have investigated the economic impact of ADRs, and at the time of writing, none has focused on preventable ADRs. The reason why future research should focus on the costs of preventable ADRs is that both the costs and the negative clinical outcomes are preventable, and as such, are a key point of public health policy action. Nevertheless, the present review highlights an important and sobering limitation of published research on the cost of preventable ADRs, of which the major limitation is the heterogeneity in methods and in reporting which limit what can be known through the summarizing work of a systematic review.
Search for narrow resonances in the b-tagged dijet mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV

description: A search for narrow resonances decaying to bottom quark-antiquark pairs is presented, using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$. The search is extended to masses lower than those reached in typical searches for resonances decaying into jet pairs at the LHC, by taking advantage of triggers that identify jets originating from bottom quarks. No significant excess of events is observed above the background predictions. Limits are set on the product of cross section and branching fraction to bottom quarks for spin 0, 1, and 2 resonances in the mass range of 325-1200 GeV. These results significantly improve on the limits for resonances decaying into jet pairs in the 325-500 GeV mass range.

description: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are a key innovation in finance, with centralized models enabling quick implementation, regulatory compliance, and effective monetary control. However, this model also raises concerns about privacy and centralization of power. The decentralized version, using blockchain, increases transparency and autonomy but struggles with scalability and governance issues. Switzerland as a major financial hub, known for its stability and innovation, is currently evaluating the potential and risks of introducing a wholesale- and retail CBDC.
The implementation of either model presents various challenges, such as picking the right technology, integrating said technology into the existing payment landscape, addressing privacy and security concerns, as well as governance questions. Additionally, the demand for international interoperability needs to be evaluated, which further complicates the issue. Given these complexities, what variation of CBDC would be most suitable for Switzerland? More specifically, for both wholesale- and retail CBDC, what technology and governance model should be pursued in either a domestic or international context.
For a domestic wholesale CBDC, the implementation of a permissioned network building on the SIX Digital Exchange platform is recommended. Decentralized node hosting allows for resilient infrastructure while maintaining the current centralized governance approach. To benefit from international interoperability an independent and both in infrastructure and governance decentralized ledger promises a feasible solution.
Domestic retail CBDC poses the bigger challenge, as potential of disrupting the current the payment landscape through competing with traditional finance along with public privacy concerns arise. Given these conditions, the further development of eCash, which offers cash-like privacy characteristics while allowing for regulatory compliance is advocated. The choice of this centralized technology is supported by the favoring of existing centralized control mechanisms. In the international context, domestic policies determine technical and governance possibilities such as permissioned swapping solutions ensuring compliance or independent decentralize-finance-inspired exchanges.

description: Herein, a carbon felt (CF) cathode modified by the acidic oxidized carbon nanotubes (OCNTs) exhibited a high yield of the H2O2 generation in electro-Fenton. Rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements showed that the selective generation of H2O2 occurred on the CF cathode coated by OCNTs (OCNTs/CF), which was attributed to the high amount of the oxygen-containing functional groups in OCNTs. Moreover, the pollutant degradation efficiency could almost reach 100% within 60 min in electro-Fenton with OCNTs/CF as the cathode. Furthermore, the pollutant removal efficiency kept constant after five consecutive cycles, indicating the high stability of OCNTs/CF cathode. Besides, the hydrophilicity of OCNTs/CF cathode was significantly enhanced owing to the abundant oxygen-contained functional groups on the surface of OCNTs/CF cathode, which facilitated the mass transfer between the OCNTs/CF cathode and the reactants in the bulk solution. To reveal the possible mechanism in electro-Fenton equipped with the OCNTs/CF cathode, quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations were further conducted. This work provided valuable insights into the fabrication of the non-metallic cathode with high ability toward H2O2 generation in electro-Fenton for the efficient pollutant removal.

description: A new method is developed to derive an algebraic equations for the geometric measure of entanglement of three qubit pure states. The equations are derived explicitly and solved in cases of most interest. These equations allow oneself to derive the analytic expressions of the geometric entanglement measure in the wide range of the three qubit systems, including the general class of W-states and states which are symmetric under permutation of two qubits. The nearest separable states are not necessarily unique and highly entangled states are surrounded by the one-parametric set of equally distant separable states. A possibility for the physical applications of the various three qubit states to quantum teleportation and superdense coding is suggested from the aspect of the entanglement.

description: 1. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of technical feed ingredients between 14 and 28 days of age on performance and health status of broilers (d14 – 35) fed diets with a high inclusion rate of rapeseed meal as a nutritional challenge. 2. A total of 1,008 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks was distributed over 36 floor pens and allocated to one of six iso-caloric (AMEN 13 MJ/kg) growing diets (d15-28): a control and five test diets supplemented with quercetin (400 mg/kg), oat hulls (50 g/kg), β-glucan (100 mg/kg), lysozyme (40 mg/kg), or fish oil ω-3 fatty acids (40 g/kg), with six replicate pens per treatment. 3. Dietary inclusion of oat hulls and lysozyme resulted in a reduction in broiler performance during the first week after providing the experimental diets. 4. No effect of interventions on the microbiota diversity in the jejunum and ileum was observed. Ileal microbiota composition of birds fed oat hulls differed from the other groups, as shown by a higher abundance of the genus Enterococcus, mainly at the expense of the genus Lactobacillus. 5. In the jejunum, villus height and crypt depth of lysozyme-fed birds at d28 were decreased compared to the control group. Higher total surface area of villi occupied by goblet cells and total villi surface area in jejunum (d21 and 28) were observed in chickens fed oat hulls compared to other groups. 6. Genes related to the growth-factor-activity pathway were more highly expressed in birds fed β-glucan compared to the control group, while the genes related to anion-transmembrane-transporter-activity pathway in the quercetin- and oat hull-fed birds were less expressed. The genes differently expressed between dietary interventions did not seem to be directly involved in immune related processes. 7. Tested nutritional interventions in the current experiment only marginally effected health status related parameters.

description: When two non-relativistic particles scatter in one dimension, they can become entangled. This entanglement process is constrained by the symmetries of the scattering system and the boundary conditions on the incoming state. Applying these constraints, three different mechanisms of entanglement can be identified: the superposition of reflected and transmitted modes, momentum correlations of the reflected mode due to inversion of the relative momentum, and momentum correlations in the transmitted and reflected modes due to dependence of the scattering amplitude on the relative momentum. We consider three standard potentials, the hard core, Dirac delta, and double Dirac delta, and show that the relative importance of these mechanisms depends on the interaction and on the properties of the incoming wave function. We find that even when the momenta distributions of the incoming articles are sharply peaked, entanglement due to the momentum correlations generated by reflection can be quite large for particles with unequal mass.

description: Context: The roots of Lophira lanceolata Van Tiegh. Ex Keay (Ochnaceae) have numerous medicinal values in the Central African region. Even though the MeOH extract of the roots has shown antimycobacterial activities, the constituents responsible for this inhibitory activity remain unknown. Objective: Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH root extract of L. lanceolata and determination of the antimycobacterial activities of that extract and constituents against the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Materials and methods: Column chromatography was used to provide bioactive phytoconstituents. Those compounds were elucidated using MS and NMR spectroscopic data. Antimycobacterial screening of the extract (4.882–5000 µg/mL in DMSO during 24 h at 37 °C) and isolated compounds (0.244–250 µg/mL in DMSO during 24 h at 37 °C) was performed by microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) against two mycobacterial strains. Results: The investigation of L. lanceolata MeOH roots extract provided of mixture of unseparated biflavonoids with a newly described one, dihydrolophirone A (1a) associated to lophirone A (1b). The bioactive compounds that effectively inhibited the growth of M. tuberculosis AC45 were found to be compounds 1 and 2. They exhibited MIC values of 31.25 and 15.75 µg/mL, respectively, and their MIC was found to be 62.5 µg/mL against resistant strain AC83. Discussion and conclusions: It is clearly evident from the results obtained that the mycobacterial activity of L. lanceolata could be related mainly to its steroid and flavonoid contents. Therefore, this study suggests the potential of the above-mentioned classes of compounds as promising candidate agents for developing new anti-tuberculosis drugs.
Mean Field Theory for Underdamped Josephson Junction Arrays with an Offset Voltage

description: We study a model Hamiltonian for superconductivity in underdamped Josephson junction arrays in the presence of an offset voltage between the array and the substrate. We develop an approximate zero-temperature (T = 0) phase diagram as a function of Josephson coupling, charging energy, and offset voltage, using a simple Hartree-type mean-field approximation. With diagonal charging energy, the calculated phase diagram is periodic in offset voltage, in agreement with previous results. At a special value of this voltage such that states with n and n+1 Cooper pairs per grain are degenerate, only an infinitesimal Josephson coupling is needed to establish long-range phase coherence in this approximation. With both diagonal and nearest-neighbor charging energies, the T = 0 phase diagram has two types of insulating lobes with different kinds of charge order, and two types of superconducting regions. One of these is a ``supersolid'' in which long-range phase coherence coexists with a frozen charge density wave. We briefly discuss connections to previous calculations, and possible relevance to experiments.

description: We study the properties of the quasienergy states of a quantum system driven by a classical dynamical system. The quasienergies are defined in a same manner as in light-matter interaction but where the Floquet approach is generalized by the use of the Koopman approach of dynamical systems. We show how the properties of the classical flow (fixed and cyclic points, ergodicity, chaos) influence the driven quantum system. This approach of the Schrödinger-Koopman quasienergies can be applied to quantum control, quantum information in presence of noises, and dynamics of mixed classical-quantum systems. We treat the example of a kicked spin ensemble where the kick modulation is governed by discrete classical flows as the Arnold's cat map and the Chirikov standard map.

description: Static fission barriers for 95 even-even transuranium nuclei with charge number $Z=94-118$ have been systematically investigated by means of pairing self-consistent Woods-Saxon-Strutinsky calculations using the potential energy surface approach in multidimensional ($β_2$, $γ$, $β_4$) deformation space. Taking the heavier $^{252}$Cf nucleus (with the available fission barrier from experiment) as an example, the formation of the fission barrier and the influence of macroscopic, shell and pairing correction energies on it are analyzed. The results of the present calculated $β_2$ values and barrier heights are compared with previous calculations and available experiments. The role of triaxiality in the region of the first saddle is discussed. It is found that the second fission barrier is also considerably affected by the triaxial deformation degree of freedom in some nuclei (e.g., the $Z=112-118$ isotopes). Based on the potential energy curves, general trends of the evolution of the fission barrier heights and widths as a function of the nucleon numbers are investigated. In addition, the effects of Woods-Saxon potential parameter modifications (e.g., the strength of the spin-orbit coupling and the nuclear surface diffuseness) on the fission barrier are briefly discussed.

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description:  This master’s thesis addresses the need to enhance activity recognition for monitoring and guidance in health and wellness applications. Despite the growing expectations, the challenge lies within effectively gathering user activity data. This study aims to assess the ability of RF (Radio Frequency) data available in smart wireless devices and or wearable devices to improve HAR (Human Activity Recognition) by leveraging the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) information. The study was performed using on-body wireless sensor nodes provided by the Bosch Research Team. Unlike previous approaches that have utilized RF data to determine coarse grain location tracking, this study emphasizes leveraging the RF data from wireless protocols such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to give valuable insights into fine grain relative positioning that help to understand precise human biomechanical motions. This novel approach focuses on utilizing the existing infrastructure present in wireless devices to improve human activity recognition which could be helpful for fitness and wellness-related applications. It also has the potential to reduce power usage by enabling motion sensors to be used less. The preliminary results conducted by 25-40 participants prove that there is valuable information given by RF data resulting in a 30% reduction in errors.

description: We present the first calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order threshold soft function for top quark pair production at hadron colliders, with full velocity dependence of the massive top quarks. Our results are fully analytic, and can be entirely written in terms of generalized polylogarithms. The scale-dependence of our result coincides with the well-known two-loop anomalous dimension matrix including the three-parton correlations, which at the two-loop order only appear when more than one massive partons are involved in the scattering process. In the boosted limit, our result exhibits the expected factorization property of mass logarithms, which leads to a consistent extraction of the soft fragmentation function. The next-to-next-to-leading order soft function obtained in this paper is an important ingredient for threshold resummation at the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.

We outline a scenario in which dark clusters of MHO with mass $\sim 0.1 M_{\odot}$ and $H_2$ molecular clouds form in the halo at galactocentric distances larger than $\sim$ 10 - 20 kpc, provided baryons are a major constituent of the halo. Possible signatures of our picture are discussed.

We demonstrate that the introduction of an appropriate regulator in the Langevin equation yields a well-defined equilibrium limit, thus leading to the correct propagator. We also analyze the connection between $d$=3 Chern-Simons and $d$=4 Topological Yang-Mills theories showing the equivalence between the corresponding regularized partition functions. We study the construction of topological invariants and the introduction of a non-trivial kernel as an alternative regularization.

description: We study, by using tools of the dynamical system theory, a fermionic string streched from a non-commutative D2-brane (stack of D0-branes in the BFSS model) to a probe D0-brane as a quantum system driven by a chaotic system, the (classical and quantum) chaos being induced in the D2-brane dynamics by quantum fluctuations. We show that this dynamics with fluctuations induces a decoherence phenomenon on the reduced density matrix of the fermionic string which is characteristic of the chaotic behaviour since it presents an horizon of coherence. Moreover we show that this dynamics is associated with an invariant torus which involves extradimensions emerging from the fluctuations for the viewpoint of the fermionic string, extending a three dimensional space by six compact dimensions. The situation studied can be considered as a model of qubit (supported by the fermionic string) in interaction with a quantum black hole (modelized by the non-commutative D2-brane).

Antimycobacterial screening of the extract (4.882–5000 µg/mL in DMSO during 24 h at 37 °C) and isolated compounds (0.244–250 µg/mL in DMSO during 24 h at 37 °C) was performed by microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) against two mycobacterial strains. Results: The investigation of L. lanceolata MeOH roots extract provided of mixture of unseparated biflavonoids with a newly described one, dihydrolophirone A (1a) associated to lophirone A (1b). The bioactive compounds that effectively inhibited the growth of M. tuberculosis AC45 were found to be compounds 1 and 2. They exhibited MIC values of 31.25 and 15.75 µg/mL, respectively, and their MIC was found to be 62.5 µg/mL against resistant strain AC83. Discussion and conclusions: It is clearly evident from the results obtained that the mycobacterial activity of L. lanceolata could be related mainly to its steroid and flavonoid contents. Therefore, this study suggests the potential of the above-mentioned classes of compounds as promising candidate agents for developing new anti-tuberculosis drugs.

description: Additional file 6. Population differentiation estimates for Penaeus monodon populations sampled using neutral and outlier loci. Population pairwise FST (Weir & Cockerham, 1984) estimates computed by using the R package StAMPP v.1.5.1 (Pembleton et al., 2013). Pairwise FST values of 89 outlier loci are shown below the diagonal, and pairwise FST values of 10,535 neutral loci are reported above. All FST values were significant at p ≤ 0.05 following 1000 bootstraps performed across loci to generate confidence intervals. The only non-significant FST value (p > 0.05) is in bold type.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: One-dimensional Indium wires grown on Si(111) substrates, which are metallic at high temperatures, become insulating below $\sim100$ K due to the formation of a Charge Density Wave (CDW). The physics of this transition is not conventional and involves a multiband Peierls instability with strong interband coupling. This CDW ground state is readily destroyed with femtosecond laser pulses resulting in a light-induced insulator-to-metal phase transition. The current understanding of this transition remains incomplete, requiring measurements of the transient electronic structure to complement previous investigations of the lattice dynamics. Time- and angle-resolved photo\-emission spectroscopy with extreme ultra-violet radiation is applied to this end. We find that the transition from the insulating to the metallic band structure occurs within $\sim660$ fs that is a fraction of the amplitude mode period. The long life time of the transient state ($>100$ ps) is attributed to trapping in a metastable state in accordance with previous work.

description: A type of Al-MCM-41 supported dual imidazolium ionic liquids were constructed and efficiently used as catalysts for the synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones from epoxides, amines, and CO2. The influence of the different catalysts and reaction parameters on the catalytic behaviours was investigated. Al-MCM-41@ILTiCl5 was identified as the most excellent catalyst because it could efficiently promote the three-component cycloaddition of CO2, epoxide, and amines to form the corresponding 2-oxazolidinones in high to excellent yields (84∼96%) with excellent selectivities (98∼99.7%). In addition, the recovery and reuse performances of Al-MCM-41@ILTiCl5 were examined. The catalyst could be recovered by simple filtration and reused six times without a change in the catalytic activity. Green reaction conditions, operational simplicity, feasibility, and sustainability of the functionalized catalyst are the main highlights of the present protocol.

description: We study a random matrix model for the statistical properties of the purity of a bipartite quantum system at a finite (fictitious) temperature. This enables us to write the generating function for the cumulants, for both balanced and unbalanced bipartitions. It also unveils an unexpected feature of the system, namely the existence of two phase transitions, characterized by different spectra of the density matrices. One of the critical phases is described by the statistical mechanics of random surfaces, the other is a second-order phase transition.

description: We review predictions and constraints for nuclear recoil signals from Higgs portal dark matter under the assumption of standard thermal creation from freeze-out. Thermally created scalar and vector Higgs portal dark matter masses are constrained to be in the resonance region near half the Higgs mass or above several TeV. The resonance region for these models will be tested by XENONnT and LZ. The full mass range up to the unitarity limit can be tested by DarkSide-20k and DARWIN. Fermionic Higgs portal dark matter with a pure CP odd coupling is constrained by the Higgs decay width, but has strongly suppressed recoil cross sections which cannot be tested with upcoming experiments. Fermionic Higgs portal dark matter with a combination of CP even and odd Higgs couplings can be constrained by the direct search experiments.
description: V2: Final version. References added and exclusion limits also reported for a Higgs-nucleon coupling gv_h = 289 MeV in addition to the SVZ value gv_h = 210 MeV. Additional remarks on the unitarity limit, and on annihilation cross sections and the partial Higgs decay width in the vector Higgs portal model are also included
Quantum Vortices Near the Superconductor-Insulator Transition in Josephson Junction Arrays

description: The properties of vortices in Josephson junction arrays are investigated in the quantum regime near the superconductor-insulator transition. We derive and study an effective action for vortex dynamics that is valid in the region where the charging energy is comparable to the Josephson coupling energy. In the superconducting phase the onset of quantum effects reduces the vortex mass and depinning current. In the case of long range Coulomb interaction between Cooper pairs we find that as the transition is approached, the velocity window in which ballistic vortex motion is possible grows. At the superconductor-insulator transition the vortex mass vanishes and vortices and spinwaves decouple. In the case of on-site Coulomb repulsion (which is of relevance for superconducting granular films) the vortex mass it is sample-size dependent in the superconducting phase, but stays finite at the critical point where it is scale invariant. The relation of our work to experiment is discussed.

description: In the mixed-valence complex [RuIII(NH3)5(μ-dpypn)FeII(CN)5] with the flexible bridging ligand 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane (dpypn), electrostatic interactions between the {Ru(NH3)5}3+ and {Fe(CN)5}3− moieties drive a strong bending of dpypn and approximation of the RuIII and FeII centers, from which the enhanced electronic coupling between metal ions produces an intense intervalence-transfer absorption in the near-infrared region. Density functional theory calculations corroborate both the electrostatic bending in this heterobinuclear complex and a linear geometry in the homobinuclear counterparts [Ru(NH3)5(μ-dpypn)Ru(NH3)5]5+ and [Fe(CN)5(μ-dpypn)Fe(CN)5]5−, for which no evidence of electronic coupling was found because of the separation between metal centers. Furthermore, the heterobinuclear species formed an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin where the imposed linear geometry prevents significant electronic coupling and intervalence charge transfer between the RuIII and FeII centers.
