description: European Russia has yielded several fragmentary but potentially important archosauriform specimens from the Middle Triassic, but these have been only briefly described in the literature. One of these puzzling taxa is Dongusuchus efremovi Sennikov, 1988, described from the Donguz Svita. We present a redescription of Dongusuchus efremovi, which includes the first photographic atlas and thorough anatomical description of the holotype and referred specimens. This taxon is shown to be a gracile, probably fast-running species with elongate and slender limbs. A phylogenetic analysis recovers Dongusuchus efremovi as an early-diverging, non-archosaurian archosauriform. Previous work had suggested that this taxon was a ‘rauisuchid’. The gracile proportions of the femur and somewhat wedge-shaped head, however, are unusual for basal archosauriforms and are similar to the plesiomorphic state in crocodile and avian-line crown archosaurs. Several Early-Middle Triassic basal archosauriforms and early members of the crocodile and avian lineages were gracile with elongate, slender limbs. This suggests that the limb morphology of Dongusuchus efremovi may be plesiomorphic for Archosauria and proximal clades.

description: In combating the ongoing global health threat of the Covid-19 pandemic, decision-makers have to take actions based on a multitude of relevant health data with severe potential consequences for the affected patients. Because of their presumed advantages in handling and analyzing vast amounts of data, computer systems of automated decision-making (ADM) are implemented and substitute humans in decision-making processes. In this study, we focus on a specific application of ADM in contrast to human decision-making (HDM), namely the allocation of Covid-19 vaccines to the public. In particular, we elaborate on the role of trust and social group preference on the legitimacy of vaccine allocation. We conducted a survey with a 2x2 randomized factorial design among n=1602 German respondents, in which we utilized distinct decision-making agents (HDM vs. ADM) and prioritization of a specific social group (teachers vs. prisoners) as design factors. Our findings show that general trust in ADM systems and preference for vaccination of a specific social group influence the legitimacy of vaccine allocation. However, contrary to our expectations, trust in the agent making the decision did not moderate the link between social group preference and legitimacy. Moreover, the effect was also not moderated by the type of decision-maker (human vs. algorithm). We conclude that trustworthy ADM systems must not necessarily lead to the legitimacy of ADM systems.

description: New detailed maps of two key areas of the Southalpine basement unravel the superposition of pre-Alpine deformation stages associated with different metamorphic imprints, and distinguish Alpine thrust and fold structures involving basement and Permian-Mesozoic sedimentary cover. Basement rocks consist of metasediments (micaschists, quartzites and paragneisses) and metagranitoids and cover rocks comprise Permian volcanics and sediments. The boundaries between two tectono-metamorphic units have been distinguished at the map scale, thanks to the integrated use of structural and petrological analyses, on the basis of foliation trajectories supported by metamorphic assemblages. Two different pre-Alpine metamorphic evolutions characterise a basement portion that seemingly appears as a monotonous sequence dominantly affected by a greenschist-facies imprint. The volcano-sedimentary sequence of Permian age has been used as the time marker that separates Alpine from pre-Alpine superposed structures; Alpine deformation consists of two superposed groups of structures, the first of which is locally associated with a very low-grade metamorphic imprint and related at the regional scale to a south-verging thrust system.

description: We present results of an optical spectroscopic survey using SALT and NOT to build a WISE mid-infrared color-based, dust-unbiased sample of powerful radio-bright ($>$200 mJy at 1.4 GHz) AGN for the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). Our sample has 250 AGN (median $z=1.8$) showing emission lines, 26 with no emission lines, and 27 without optical counterparts. Overall, our sample is fainter ($Δi$=0.6 mag) and redder ($Δ(g-i)$=0.2 mag) than radio-selected quasars, and representative of fainter quasar population detected in optical surveys. About 20% of the sources are narrow line AGN (NLAGN) $-$ 65% of these, at $z < 0.5$ are galaxies without strong nuclear emission, and 10% at $z>1.9$, have emission line ratios similar to radio galaxies. The farthest NLAGN in our sample is M1513$-$2524 ($z_{em}=3.132$), and the largest (size$\sim$330 kpc) is M0909$-$3133 ($z_{em}=0.884$). We discuss in detail 110 AGN at $1.9 < z < 3.5$. Despite representing the radio loudest quasars (median $R$=3685), their Eddington ratios are similar to the SDSS quasars having lower $R$. We detect 4 CIV BALQSOs, all among AGN with least $R$, and highest black hole masses and Eddington ratios. The BAL detection rate ($4^{+3}_{-2}$%) is consistent with that seen in extremely powerful ($L_{1.4GHz}>10^{25}$ WHz$^{-1}$) quasars. Using optical light-curves, radio polarization and $γ$-ray detections, we identify 7 high-probability BL Lacs. We also summarize the full MALS footprint to search for HI 21-cm and OH 18-cm lines at $z<2$.

description: Two-photon resonance transition technology has been proven to have a wide range of applications,it's limited by the available wavelength of commercial lasers.The application of optical comb technology with direct two-photon transition (DTPT) will not be restricted by cw lasers.This article will further theoretically analyze the dynamics effects of the DTPT process driven by optical frequency combs. In a three-level atomic system, the population of particles and the amount of momentum transfer on atoms are increased compared to that of the DTPT-free process. The 17% of population increasement in 6-level system of cesium atoms has verified that DTPT process has a robust enhancement on the effect of momentum transfer. It can be used to excite the DTPTs of rubidium and cesium simultaneously with the same mode-locked laser. And this technology has potential applications in cooling different atoms to obtain polar cold molecules, as well as high-precision spectroscopy measurement.

description: We demonstrate that in photonic gap antennas composed of an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) layer embedded within a high-index dielectric, hybrid modes emerge from the strong coupling between the ENZ thin film and the photonic modes of the dielectric antenna. These hybrid modes show giant electric field enhancements, large enhancements of the far-field spontaneous emission rate and a unidirectional radiation response. We analyze both parent and hybrid modes using quasinormal mode theory and find that the hybridization can be well understood using a coupled oscillator model. Under plane wave illumination, hybrid ENZ antennas can concentrate light with an electric field amplitude $\sim$100 times higher than that of the incident wave, which places them on par with the best plasmonic antennas. In addition, the far-field spontaneous emission rate of a dipole embedded at the antenna hotspot reaches up to $\sim$2300 that in free space, with nearly perfect unidirectional emission.

description: A bis-urea derived gelator 1 was synthesised with a high yield via a simple organic reaction. The gelator could form organogel in four kinds of solvents. The organogels obtained from four kinds of solvents were systematically investigated by FESEM, UV–Vis, PL, IR, XRD and water contact angle experiments. It was interesting that the self-assembly process of gelator 1 could be tuned by solvents. The film structure and fibre were formed in different solvents. At the same time, the different morphologies all displayed hydrophobicity. Especially, the contact angle of the fibre obtained from organogel in DMF was up to 147°. This research would provide a good pattern for preparation of a special hydrophobic surface through supramolecular self-assembly.

description: We study charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) associated with heavy quark pair production in lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering $\ell_i N \to \ell_j q\bar{q} X$. Here $\ell_i$ and $\ell_j$ denote the initial and final leptons; $N$ and $X$ are respectively the initial nucleon and arbitrary final hadronic system. We employ a model Lagrangian in which a scalar and pseudoscalar mediator generates the CLFV. We derive heavy quark structure functions for scalar and pseudoscalar currents and compute momentum distributions of the final lepton for the process. Our focus is on the heavy quark mass effects in the final lepton momentum distribution. We clarify the necessity of inclusion of the heavy quark mass to obtain reliable theory predictions for the CLFV signal searches in the deep-inelastic scattering.

description: If ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) exists and couples to neutrinos, it can be discovered via time-periodic variations in the neutrino mass and mixing parameters. We analyze the current bounds on such a scenario and establish the sensitivity expected for both time-averaged and time-resolved modulations in future neutrino oscillation experiments. We place a special emphasis in our analysis on time modulations of the CP violating mixing phase. We illustrate with a toy model the case where the leading modulation effect can be CP violating while the effect on CP conserving parameters is suppressed. We show a unique imprint that a time averaged CP violating modulation of ULDM can leave in neutrino oscillations, while direct CP asymmetries vanish.

description: Many quantum technologies rely on high-precision dynamics, which raises the question of how these are influenced by the experimental uncertainties that are always present in real-life settings. A standard approach in the literature to assess this is Monte Carlo sampling, which suffers from two major drawbacks. First, it is computationally expensive. Second, it does not reveal the effect that each individual uncertainty parameter has on the state of the system. In this work, we evade both these drawbacks by incorporating propagation of uncertainty directly into simulations of quantum dynamics, thereby obtaining a method that is faster than Monte Carlo simulations and directly provides information on how each uncertainty parameter influence the system dynamics. Additionally, we compare our method to experimental results obtained using the IBM quantum computers.

description: We study the image formation near point singularities (swallowtail and umbilics) in the simulated strongly lensed images of Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) by the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) clusters. In this work, we only consider nearly half of the brightest (a total of 5271) sources in the HUDF region. For every HFF cluster, we constructed 11 realizations of strongly lensed HUDF with an arbitrary translation of the cluster centre within the central region of HUDF and an arbitrary rotation. In each of these realizations, we visually identify the characteristic/exotic image formation corresponding to the different point singularities. We find that our current results are consistent with our earlier results based on different approaches. We also study time delay in these exotic image formations and compare it with typical five-image geometries. We find that the typical time delay in exotic image formations is an order of magnitude smaller than the typical time delay in a generic five-image geometry.

description: Mechanical cloaks are materials engineered to manipulate the elastic response around objects to make them indistinguishable from their homogeneous surroundings. Typically, methods based on material-parameter transformations are used to design optical, thermal and electric cloaks. However, they are not applicable in designing mechanical cloaks, since continuum-mechanics equations are not form-invariant under general coordinate transformations. As a result, existing design methods for mechanical cloaks have so far been limited to a narrow selection of voids with simple shapes. To address this challenge, we present a systematic, data-driven design approach to create mechanical cloaks composed of aperiodic metamaterials using a large pre-computed unit cell database. Our method is flexible to allow the design of cloaks with various boundary conditions, multiple loadings, different shapes and numbers of voids, and different homogeneous surroundings. It enables a concurrent optimization of both topology and properties distribution of the cloak. Compared to conventional fixed-shape solutions, this results in an overall better cloaking performance, and offers unparalleled versatility. Experimental measurements on 3D-printed structures further confirm the validity of the proposed approach. Our research illustrates the benefits of data-driven approaches in quickly responding to new design scenarios and resolving the computational challenge associated with multiscale designs of functional structures. It could be generalized to accommodate other applications that require heterogeneous property distribution, such as soft robots and implants design.

description: Sound attenuation in low temperature amorphous solids originates from their disordered structure. However, its detailed mechanism is still being debated. Here we analyze sound attenuation starting directly from the microscopic equations of motion. We derive an exact expression for the zero-temperature sound damping coefficient. We verify that the sound damping coefficients calculated from our expression agree very well with results from independent simulations of sound attenuation. The small wavevector analysis of our expression shows that sound attenuation is primarily determined by the non-affine displacements' contribution to the sound wave propagation coefficient coming from the frequency shell of the sound wave. Our expression involves only quantities that pertain to solids' static configurations. It can be used to evaluate the low temperature sound damping coefficients without directly simulating sound attenuation.

description: Path integrals constitute powerful representations for both quantum and stochastic dynamics. Yet despite many decades of intensive studies, there is no consensus on how to formulate them for dynamics in curved space, or how to make them covariant with respect to nonlinear transform of variables. In this work, we construct rigorous and covariant formulations of time-slicing path integrals for quantum and classical stochastic dynamics in curved space. We first establish a rigorous criterion for correct time-slice actions of path integrals (Lemma 1). This implies the existence of infinitely many equivalent representations for time-slicing path integral. We then show that, for any dynamics with second order generator, all time-slice actions are asymptotically equivalent to a Gaussian (Lemma 2). Using these results, we further construct a continuous family of equivalent actions parameterized by an interpolation parameter $α\in [0,1]$ (Lemma 3). The action generically contains a spurious drift term linear in $Δ\boldsymbol x$, whose concrete form depends on $α$. Finally we also establish the covariance of our path-integral formalism, by demonstrating how the action transforms under nonlinear transform of variables. The $α= 0$ representation of time-slice action is particularly convenient because it is Gaussian and invariant, as long as $Δ\boldsymbol x$ transforms according to Ito's formula.

description: Coherent quantum systems are a key resource for emerging quantum technology. Solid-state spin systems are of particular importance for compact and scalable devices. However, interaction with the solid-state host degrades the coherence properties. The negatively-charged silicon vacancy center in diamond is such an example. While spectral properties are outstanding, with optical coherence protected by the defects symmetry, the spin coherence is susceptible to rapid orbital relaxation limiting the spin dephasing time. A prolongation of the orbital relaxation time is therefore of utmost urgency and has been tackled by operating at very low temperatures or by introducing large strain. However, both methods have significant drawbacks, the former requires use of dilution refrigerators and the latter affects intrinsic symmetries. Here, a novel method is presented to prolong the orbital relaxation with a locally modified phonon density of states in the relevant frequency range, by restricting the diamond host to below 100 nm. The method works at liquid Helium temperatures of few Kelvin and in the low-strain regime.

description: Patients with diabetic hypertensive nephropathy have accelerated disease progression. Diabetes and hypertension have both been associated with changes in renal catecholamines and reactive oxygen species. With a specific focus on renal catecholamines and oxidative stress we examined a combined model of hypertension and diabetes using normotensive BPN/3J and hypertensive BPH/2J Schlager mice. Induction of diabetes (5 × 55 mg/kg streptozotocin i.p.) did not change the hypertensive status of BPH/2J mice (telemetric 24 h avg. MAP, non-diabetic 131 ± 2 vs. diabetic 129 ± 1 mmHg, n.s at 9 weeks of study). Diabetes-associated albuminuria was higher in BPH/2J vs. diabetic BPN/3J (1205 + 196/-169 versus 496 + 67/-59 μg/24 h, p = 0.008). HPLC measurement of renal cortical norepinephrine and dopamine showed significantly greater levels in hypertensive mice whilst diabetes was associated with significantly lower catecholamine levels. Diabetic BPH/2J also had greater renal catecholamine levels than diabetic BPN/3J (diabetic: Norepinephrine BPN/3J 40 ± 4, BPH/2J 91 ± 5, p = 0.010; dopamine: BPN/3J 2 ± 1; BPH/2J 3 ± 1 ng/mg total protein, p < 0.001 after 10 weeks of study). Diabetic BPH/2J showed greater cortical tubular immunostaining for monoamine oxidase A and cortical mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide formation was greater in both diabetic and non-diabetic BPH/2J. While cytosolic catalase activity was greater in non-diabetic BPH/2J it was significantly lower in diabetic BPH/2J (cytosolic: BPH/2J 127 ± 12 vs. 63 ± 6 nmol/min/ml, p < 0.001). We conclude that greater levels of renal norepinephrine and dopamine associated with hypertension, together with diabetes-associated compromised anti-oxidant systems, contribute to increased renal oxidative stress in diabetes and hypertension. Elevations in renal cortical catecholamines and reactive oxygen species have important therapeutic implications for hypertensive diabetic patients.

description: Conformational dynamics of biomolecules are of fundamental importance for their function. Single-molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (smFRET) is a powerful approach to inform on the structure and the dynamics of labeled molecules. If the dynamics occur on the sub-millisecond timescale, capturing and quantifying conformational dynamics can be challenging by intensity-based smFRET. Multiparameter fluorescence detection (MFD) addresses this challenge by simultaneously registering intensities and fluorescence lifetimes. Together, the mean donor fluorescence lifetime and the fluorescence intensities inform on the variance, and the mean FRET efficiency tells the conformational dynamics. Here, we present a general framework that relates average fluorescence lifetimes and intensities in smFRET counting histograms. Using this framework, we show how to compute parametric relations (FRET-lines) of these observables that facilitate a graphical interpretation of experimental data, can be used to test models, identify conformational states, resolve the connectivity of states, and can be applied to unstructured systems to infer properties of polymer chains or study fast protein folding. To simplify the graphical analysis of complex kinetic networks, we derive a moment-based representation of the experimental data and show how to decouple the motion of the fluorescence labels from the conformational dynamics of the biomolecule.

Αναλύεται και περιγράφεται το «αίσθημα του οικείου» μέσα από τις θέσεις του S.Freud για το ανοίκειο και του Pallasmaa για την πολυαισθητήρια εμπειρία του χώρου. Διερευνώντας πως το οικείο θα μπορούσε να σχεδιαστεί με αρχιτεκτονικές αρχές, αναλύονται δύο πολύ σημαντικά εργαλεία (μέσα) για την επίτευξη αυτού του στόχου: ο συμμετοχικός σχεδιασμός και η ευελιξία. Στην μία περίπτωση ο χρήστης είναι μέρος της σχεδιαστικής διαδικασίας και επικοινωνεί τις ανάγκες του, ενώ στην δεύτερη, ακόμη και αν δεν συμμετέχει, ο αρχιτέκτονας προβλέπει και προλαμβάνει τις μελλοντικές ποικίλες ανάγκες του/των μελλοντικών κατοίκου/ων. Ορίζονται και σχολιάζονται οι δύο όροι μέσα από παραδείγματα που αντιστοιχούν σε επίπεδα συμμετοχής και μορφές ευελιξίας, και τέλος αναλύεται το ολοκληρωμένο έργο των Lacaton & Vassal στο Bordeaux, το οποίο ακολουθεί τις δύο παραπάνω σχεδιαστικές αρχές καταλήγοντας σε συμπεράσματα.
description: This paper seeks ways in which the dwelling becomes familiar to the user and promotes freedom of expression in their personal space. It analyses and describes the "feeling of the familiar" through S. Freud's thesis on the uncomfortable and Pallasmaa's thesis on the multi-sensory experience of space. By exploring how the familiar could be related to architectural principles, two very important tools (means) for achieving this goal are analysed: participatory design and flexibility. In the first case the user is part of the design process and communicates his/her needs, while in the second, even if he/she is not involved, the architect anticipates and anticipates the future diverse needs of the future inhabitant(s). The two terms are defined and commented on through examples corresponding to levels of participation and forms of flexibility respectively, and finally the completed project of Lacaton & Vassal in Bordeaux, which follows the two design principles mentioned above, is analysed and conclusions are drawn.

description: We study the enantio-specific state transfer in a four-level model for symmetric-top chiral molecules. Such a model is formed by coupling the electric-dipole transitions among four appropriate working states with three electromagnetic fields. It includes two cyclic three-level substructures, where the overall phases differ by $π$ with enantiomers and reflect the chirality dependence of the molecule. Based on this four-level model, two dynamic ways are proposed to achieve the approximately perfect enantio-specific state transfer for symmetric-top chiral molecules.

description: In a recent study by some of us, we have proposed a new measure of the structure of a liquid, the softness of the mean-field caging potential, and shown that it can describe the temperature dependence of the dynamics. In this work, we put this parameter through a stringent test and study the causal relationship between this softness parameter at the local level and the local dynamics. We first extend the earlier study to describe the local softness. We find a distribution of the softness value where the distribution has reasonably strong temperature dependence. This shows that the parameter can identify the local structural heterogeneity. We then study the lifetime of the softness parameter and show that its lifetime is connected to the well-known cage structure in the supercooled liquids. Finally, our theory predicts that the local softness and the local dynamics is causal below the onset temperature where there is a decoupling between the short and long time dynamics, thus allowing a static description of the cage. We find that at lower temperatures, the structural heterogeneity increases, and also, the structure becomes a better predictor of the dynamics, thus giving rise to dynamic heterogeneity. We also find that the softness of a hard, immobile region evolves with time and becomes soft and eventually mobile due to the rearrangements in the neighbourhood, confirming the well-known facilitation effect.

description: In this paper we introduce some {\it variation functions} associated to the rank of the Infinitesimal Variations of Hodge Structure for a family of smooth projective complex curves. We give some bounds and inequalities and, in particular, we prove that if $X$ is a smooth plane curve $X$, then there exists a first order deformation $ξ\in H^1(T_X)$ which deforms $X$ as plane curve, such that $ξ\cdot:H^0(ω_X)\to H^1(\mathcal{O}_{X})$ is an isomorphism. We also generalize the notions of variation functions to the higher dimensional case and we analyze the link between IVHS and the Weak and Strong Lefschetz properties of the Jacobian ring of a smooth hypersurface.

description: The increasing popularity of deep neural network (DNN) applications demands high computing power and efficient hardware accelerator architecture. DNN accelerators use a large number of processing elements (PEs) and on-chip memory for storing weights and other parameters. As the communication backbone of a DNN accelerator, networks-on-chip (NoC) play an important role in supporting various dataflow patterns and enabling processing with communication parallelism in a DNN accelerator. However, the widely used mesh-based NoC architectures inherently cannot support the efficient one-to-many and many-to-one traffic largely existing in DNN workloads. In this paper, we propose a modified mesh architecture with a one-way/two-way streaming bus to speedup one-to-many (multicast) traffic, and the use of gather packets to support many-to-one (gather) traffic. The analysis of the runtime latency of a convolutional layer shows that the two-way streaming architecture achieves better improvement than the one-way streaming architecture for an Output Stationary (OS) dataflow architecture. The simulation results demonstrate that the gather packets can help to reduce the runtime latency up to 1.8 times and network power consumption up to 1.7 times, compared with the repetitive unicast method on modified mesh architectures supporting two-way streaming.

description: The depletion of three banned nitroimidazole drugs – dimetridazole (DMZ), metronidazole (MNZ) and ronidazole (RNZ) – was investigated in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) following in-water medication. The highest concentrations of residues were measured immediately after the 24-h immersion (d0). At this time, MNZ and MNZ-OH residues were measured in shrimp tissue samples at concentrations ranging from 361 to 4189 and from 0.28 to 6.6 μg kg−1, respectively. DMZ and its metabolites HMMNI ranged in concentration between 31 509 and 37 780 and between 15.0 and 31.9 μg kg−1, respectively. RNZ and HMMNI concentrations ranged from 14 530 to 24 206 and from 25.0 to 55 μg kg−1, respectively. MNZ, DMZ and RNZ were the more persistent marker residues and can be detected for at least 8 days post-treatment. MNZ-OH was only detectable on d0 following treatment with MNZ. HMMNI residues were only detectable up to d1 (0.97–3.2 μg kg−1) or d2 (1.2–4.5 μg kg−1) following DMZ and RNZ treatment, respectively. The parent drugs MNZ, DMZ and RNZ were still measureable on d8 at 0.12–1.0, 40.5–55 and 8.8–18.7 μg kg−1, respectively. The study also investigated the stability of nitroimidazole residues under various cooking procedures (frying, grilling, boiling, and boiling followed by microwaving). The experiments were carried out in shrimp muscle tissue containing both high and low concentrations of these residues. Different cooking procedures showed the impact on nitroimidazole residue concentration in shrimp tissue. Residue concentration depleted significantly, but partially, by boiling and/or microwaving, but the compounds were largely resistant to conventional grilling or frying. Cooking cannot therefore be considered as a safeguard against harmful nitroimidazole residues in shrimp.
The Physical Origin of Dark Energy Constraints from Rubin Observatory and CMB-S4 Lensing Tomography

description: We seek to clarify the origin of constraints on the dark energy equation of state parameter from CMB lensing tomography, that is the combination of galaxy clustering and the cross-correlation of galaxies with CMB lensing in a number of redshift bins. In particular, we consider the two-point correlation functions which can be formed with a catalog of galaxy locations and photometric redshifts from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and CMB lensing maps from the CMB-S4 experiment. We focus on the analytic understanding of the origin of the constraints. Dark energy information in these data arises from the influence of three primary relationships: distance as a function of redshift (geometry), the amplitude of the power spectrum as a function of redshift (growth), and the power spectrum as a function of wavenumber (shape). We find that the effects from geometry and growth play a significant role and partially cancel each other out, while the shape effect is unimportant. We also show that Dark Energy Task Force (DETF) Figure of Merit (FoM) forecasts from the combination of LSST galaxies and CMB-S4 lensing are comparable to the forecasts from cosmic shear in the absence of the CMB lensing map, thus providing an important independent check. Compared to the forecasts with the LSST galaxies alone, combining CMB lensing and LSST clustering information (together with the primary CMB spectra) increases the FoM by roughly a factor of 3-4 in the optimistic scenario where systematics are fully under control. We caution that achieving these forecasts will likely require a full analysis of higher-order biasing, photometric redshift uncertainties, and stringent control of other systematic limitations, which are outside the scope of this work, whose primary purpose is to elucidate the physical origin of the constraints.
