description: In this paper we explore the set of linear maps sending the set of quantum Gaussian states into itself. These maps are in general not positive, a feature which can be exploited as a test to check whether a given quantum state belongs to the convex hull of Gaussian states (if one of the considered maps sends it into a non positive operator, the above state is certified not to belong to the set). Generalizing a result known to be valid under the assumption of complete positivity, we provide a characterization of these Gaussian-to-Gaussian (not necessarily positive) superoperators in terms of their action on the characteristic function of the inputs. For the special case of one-mode mappings we also show that any Gaussian-to-Gaussian superoperator can be expressed as a concatenation of a phase-space dilatation, followed by the action of a completely positive Gaussian channel, possibly composed with a transposition. While a similar decomposition is shown to fail in the multi-mode scenario, we prove that it still holds at least under the further hypothesis of homogeneous action on the covariance matrix.

description: Land use change and intensification are the most important direct drivers of decreasing biodiversity globally. Therefore, the European Union created the Natura 2000 network to protect endangered species and habitats. Here we are interested how the ambitious European goals are actually implemented studying a Natura 2000 habitat, the “Sarmatic steppe pine forests” (Code 91U0) in a national hotspot of biodiversity in Franconia (Germany). These forests are a relic of the postglacial warm stage, preserved by human land use since the Neolithic, but are now heavily declining due to abandonment of traditional land use practices. Applying a long-term monitoring over 30 years including all existing (> 600) stands and a Random Forest classification model, we show that less than a quarter of the area of 1990 and only about 1% of 1950 still exists. Immigration of spruce and beech and forest conversion was responsible for this massive loss, impacting the light-demanding species composition. However, nearly no conservation efforts were undertaken, and replanting with broadleaved trees is still ongoing even after the designation as protected habitat in 2008. Therefore, these forests demonstrate how land use change and intensification (i.e. global change) continuously endanger a habitat protected by national and European law.

description: The paper gives short information about detonative propulsion systems, their advantages, and the possibility of application to the propulsion systems. The research was conducted on a specially designed test stand which allowed to measure propulsion performance. For comparison, two different chambers were tested: annular and hollow. It was shown that the hollow chamber is superior over the annular as concerns of initiation and detonation stability, and also the hollow chamber showed better propulsive performance.
"Magic" radio-frequency dressing for trapped atomic microwave clocks

description: It has been proposed to use magnetically trapped atomic ensembles to enhance the interrogation time in microwave clocks. To mitigate the perturbing effects of the magnetic trap, near-magic-field configurations are employed, where the involved clock transition becomes independent of the atom's potential energy to first order. Still, higher order effects are a dominating source for dephasing, limiting the performance of this approach. Here we propose a simple method to cancel the energy dependence to both first and second order, using weak radio-frequency dressing. We give values for dressing frequencies, amplitudes, and trapping fields for 87Rb atoms and investigate quantitatively the robustness of these second-order-magic conditions to variations of the system parameters. We conclude that radio-frequency dressing can suppress field-induced dephasing by at least one order of magnitude for typical experimental parameters

description: We present microlens parallax measurements for 21 (apparently) isolated lenses observed toward the Galactic bulge that were imaged simultaneously from Earth and Spitzer, which was ~1 AU West of Earth in projection. We combine these measurements with a kinematic model of the Galaxy to derive distance estimates for each lens, with error bars that are small compared to the Sun's Galactocentric distance. The ensemble therefore yields a well-defined cumulative distribution of lens distances. In principle it is possible to compare this distribution against a set of planets detected in the same experiment in order to measure the Galactic distribution of planets. Since these Spitzer observations yielded only one planet, this is not yet possible in practice. However, it will become possible as larger samples are accumulated.

A halo-independent lower bound on the dark matter capture rate in the Sun from a direct detection signal

description: We show that a positive signal in a dark matter (DM) direct detection experiment can be used to place a lower bound on the DM capture rate in the Sun, independent of the DM halo. For a given particle physics model and DM mass we obtain a lower bound on the capture rate independent of the local DM density, velocity distribution, galactic escape velocity, as well as the scattering cross section. We illustrate this lower bound on the capture rate by assuming that upcoming direct detection experiments will soon obtain a significant signal. When comparing the lower bound on the capture rate with limits on the high-energy neutrino flux from the Sun from neutrino telescopes, we can place upper limits on the branching fraction of DM annihilation channels leading to neutrinos. With current data from IceCube and Super-Kamiokande non-trivial limits can be obtained for spin-dependent interactions and direct annihilations into neutrinos. In some cases also annihilations into $ττ$ or $b\bar b$ start getting constrained. For spin-independent interactions current constraints are weak, but they may become interesting for data from future neutrino telescopes.

description: In this paper, we constructed a global trade computable general equilibrium model using the input-output table data in 2002, 2007, 2010, and 2015 to measure the border effect of the bilateral trade of agricultural products between China and the Belt and Road (B&R) countries, and designed a simulation analysis under different scenarios for the impact of the B&R initiative on China’s agricultural trade. We discovered that: (1) The border effect of agricultural product trade between China and the B&R countries decreased by 20.9% in 2015 compared with that in 2010, which means that the B&R initiative to some extent reduced the trade barriers and promoted the bilateral agricultural trade between China and the B&R countries. (2) There are different changes in border effect between China’s domestic regions and between unilateral and bilateral border, the decline of border effect in China’s costal area is larger than that in inland area, and the decline in import border is larger than that in export border. (3) With the improvement of the B&R framework and the implementation of supporting policies, the decline in trade costs and in local agricultural product preference as well as the agricultural technology progress will further reduce the border effect. China’s domestic regional trade gap will gradually narrow, the bilateral agricultural trade will be highly active, and the continuous growth of agricultural trade will emerge between China and the B&R countries.
A Soft-Wall Dilaton

description: We study the properties of the dilaton in a soft-wall background using two solutions of the Einstein equations. These solutions contain an asymptotically AdS metric with a nontrivial scalar profile that causes both the spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance and the generation of a mass gap in the particle spectrum. We first present an analytic solution, using the superpotential method, that describes a CFT spontaneously broken by a finite dimensional operator in which a light dilaton mode appears in the spectrum. This represents a tuning in the vanishing of the quartic coupling in the effective potential that could be naturally realised from an underlying supersymmetry. Instead, by considering a generalised analytic scalar bulk potential that quickly transitions at the condensate scale from a walking coupling in the UV to an order-one $β$-function in the IR, we obtain a naturally light dilaton. This provides a simple example for obtaining a naturally light dilaton from nearly-marginal CFT deformations in the more realistic case of a soft-wall background.

ENERGETIC MATERIAL

description: Because of hydrazine\'s carcinogenic and toxic nature its use in space propulsion is expensive and may lead to significant delays. One already established alternative is to use energetic salt-based ionic liquid propellants, dissolving ammonium dinitramide or hydroxyl ammonium nitrate in water with additives. However, with this approach costs remain high because these substances are quite costly and highly regulated due to their partly unstable and energetic nature. Nitromethane, being a widely available solvent, offers a cost-effective solution, with comparable propulsive performance. In this paper results of a hot-fire test campaign are presented. Stable combustion using NMP-001 a nitromethane-based monopropellant at 15 40 bar pressure at 84 94 % C*-efficiency in a combustion chamber with L* = 9 to 11.7 m was demonstrated.

description: The correlation between Chinese and international commodity prices may be nonlinear because of China’s minimum agricultural commodity purchase price policy and temporary storage policy. In order to research this nonlinear dynamic correlation mechanism, we construct a nonlinear Granger causality test model and a nonlinear autoregressive distribution lag model including Chinese and international agricultural commodity (soybean, corn, rice, and wheat) price variables. Our empirical results reveal that a unidirectional causal relation exists between international and Chinese prices for soybeans and corn; specifically, international prices of soybeans and corn Granger-cause Chinese prices of soybeans and corn. Moreover, the pass-through effects between Chinese and international commodity prices are asymmetric; Chinese agricultural commodity prices respond more strongly to positive shocks than negative shocks of international agricultural commodity prices.

description: During the contract period from January 2021 through December 31, 2023, the University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology (UT-BEG) installed and maintained two eddy covariance stations across the Edwards Aquifer recharge region. The Cibolo station was installed on February 25, 2021, in the more humid eastern portion of the region within an oak-ashe juniper ecosystem adjacent to Cibolo Creek at the Field Research Park (FRP) operated by the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA). The Uvalde station was installed on April 8, 2021, in the more arid western portion of the region within a mesquite woody savanna northwest of Uvalde, TX, near the Nueces River. The Uvalde station was demobilized on March 1, 2023, and relocated to a permanent location approximately 30 miles north, within an oak-ashe juniper woody savanna on the Shield Ranch east of Camp Wood, TX, and renamed the Nueces station. Installation of the Nueces station was completed on July 19, 2023. Site visits were performed throughout the contract period for regular maintenance, such as calibrating (i.e., zero-spanning) the infrared gas analyzer, and as-needed maintenance such as troubleshooting issues with power, communication or individual sensors. The Cibolo, Uvalde, and Nueces sites have been registered with AmeriFlux (a collaborative network of flux site across North, Central, and South America with standardized processes and procedures) with site designations of US-EA4, US-EA5, and US-EA6, respectively. Data submission to AmeriFlux for the eddy covariance sites is ongoing.

description: A more efficient and ecologically friendly method has been devised for the preparation of α-amino phosphonates by Kabachnik-Fields (K-F) reaction in a solvent-free environment using an ultrasonication technique catalyzed by nano ZnO. Primarily, an in silico ADMET and molecular docking analysis was carried out on each molecule prior to synthesis to get insight into drug-likeliness behavior and their capacity to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was confirmed using spectroscopic analysis, and each one’s in vitro inhibitory action against α-amylase and α-glucosidase was evaluated. The compounds diethyl (4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenylamino)(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)methylphosphonate (7e) and diethyl (4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenylamino)(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl)methylphosphonate (7h) exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against α-amylase in comparison to the reference substance acarbose. The compounds diethyl (4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenylamino)(4-fluorophenyl)methylphosphonate (7d), diethyl (4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenylamino)(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methylphosphonate (7 g) and diethyl (4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenylamino)(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl)methylphosphonate (7h) have shown the highest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase than the reference drug, Acarbose. The remaining compounds have shown equipotent to good inhibitory activity against both the tested enzymes.

description: A novel method of hit time and hit position reconstruction in scintillator detectors is described. The method is based on comparison of detector signals with results stored in a library of synchronized model signals registered for a set of well-defined positions of scintillation points. The hit position is reconstructed as the one corresponding to the signal from the library which is most similar to the measurement signal. The time of the interaction is determined as a relative time between the measured signal and the most similar one in the library. A degree of similarity of measured and model signals is defined as the distance between points representing the measurement- and model-signal in the multi-dimensional measurement space. Novelty of the method lies also in the proposed way of synchronization of model signals enabling direct determination of the difference between time-of-flights (TOF) of annihilation quanta from the annihilation point to the detectors. The introduced method was validated using experimental data obtained by means of the double strip prototype of the J-PET detector and $^{22}$Na sodium isotope as a source of annihilation gamma quanta.The detector was built out from plastic scintillator strips with dimensions of 5 mm x 19 mm x 300 mm, optically connected at both sides to photomultipliers,from which signals were sampled by means of the Serial Data Analyzer.Using the introduced method, the spatial and TOF resolution of about 1.3 cm ($σ$) and 125 ps ($σ$) were established, respectively.

description: The zero-degree calorimeters (ZDC) installed in the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, make possible simultaneous detection of forward-backward leading neutrons, pp=>nXn. Such data with sufficiently high statistics could be a source of information about the pion-pion total cross section at high energies, provided that the absorption corrections, which are expected to be strong, are well understood. Otherwise, making a plausible assumption about the magnitude of the pion-pion cross section, one can consider such measurements as a way to study the absorption effects, which is the main focus of the present paper. These effects introduced at the amplitude level, are found to be different for the pion fluxes, which either conserve or flip the nucleon helicity. The pion fluxes from both colliding protons are essentially reduced by absorption, moreover, there is a common absorption suppression factor, which breaks down the factorized form of the cross section. We also evaluate the feed-down corrections related to the initial/final state inelastic processes possessing a rapidity gap, and found them to be small in the kinematic range under consideration. The contribution of other iso-vector Reggeons, spin-flip natural parity rho and a2, and spin non-flip unnatural parity a1 are also evaluated and found to be rather small.

description: Several groups of authors have analyzed Fermi LAT data in a region around the Galactic Center finding an unaccounted gamma-ray excess over diffuse backgrounds in the GeV energy range. It has been argued that it is difficult or even impossible to explain this diffuse emission by the leading astrophysical candidates - millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Here we provide a new estimate of the contribution to the excess by a population of yet unresolved MSP located in the bulge of the Milky Way. We simulate this population with the GALPLOT package by adopting a parametric approach, with the range of free parameters gauged on the MSP characteristics reported by the second pulsar catalogue (2PC). We find that the conclusions strongly depend on the details of the MSP luminosity function (in particular, its high luminosity end) and other explicit or tacit assumptions on the MSP statistical properties, which we discuss. Notably, for the first time we study the importance of the possible secondary emission of the MSPs in the Galactic Center, {i.e. the emission via inverse Compton losses of electrons injected in the interstellar medium. Differently from a majority of other authors, we find that within current uncertainties a large if not dominant contribution of MSPs to the excess cannot be excluded. We also show that the sensitivities of future instruments or possibly already of the latest LAT data analysis (Pass 8) provide good perspectives to test this scenario by resolving a significant number of MSPs.

description: Borehole geophysical log collections are an important and underutilized source of information that can contribute to the creation of accurate two- and three-dimensional models of the subsurface and augment geologic mapping efforts nationwide. In this report on a survey of geophysical well log collections held by state geological surveys and other state agencies, we have identified principal contacts, collected and analyzed key attributes, and identified locations for public-facing web sites and viewers. Through a 10-question survey sent to 74 state entities and follow-up investigations, we collated information on 70 log collections housed by 64 state entities across 44 states. These collections include approximately 4.5 million geophysical logs acquired in oil and gas, groundwater, mineral exploration, geothermal, and environmental monitoring wells. Common log media include printed paper, raster scans, and a lesser number of fully digitized logs. At least half of the state entities surveyed have collections that include all three log types in varying proportions. Most collections are available to the public, but accessibility and possible fees vary widely. Attributes of each of the state collections, along with a few major federal sources, are accessible through a GIS-based web viewer developed for this project. Numerous regional and local geophysical log collections are not included in this inventory, nor are commercial vendors. Recommendations for enhancing the discoverability, availability, and usability of the logs include (1) scanning logs and determining locations for unscanned paper logs, (2) digitizing high-priority logs into a standard format to facilitate import into log analysis software, (3) creating public-facing web viewers or other online interfaces to locate and download logs for widest possible use, and (4) allocating financial support for scanning, digitizing, and organizing logs to accelerate progress toward broader availability and use of this valuable subsurface data source.
Multiple Point Principle of the Standard Model with Scalar Singlet Dark Matter and Right Handed Neutrinos

description: We consider the multiple point principle (MPP) of the Standard Model (SM) with the scalar singlet Dark Matter (DM) and three heavy right-handed neutrinos at the scale where the beta function $β_λ$ of the effective Higgs self coupling $λ_{\text{eff}}$ becomes zero. We make the two-loop analysis and find that the top quark mass $M_{t}$ and the Higgs portal coupling $κ$ are strongly related each other. One of the good points in this model is that the larger $M_{t}{1mm}(\gtrsim 171\text{GeV})$ is allowed. This fact is consistent with the recent experimental value \cite{ATLAS:2014wva} $M_{t}=173.34\pm0.76$ GeV, which corresponds to the DM mass $769{1mm}\text{GeV}\leq m_{\text{DM}}\leq 1053 {1mm}\text{GeV}$.

description: We explore the collective density oscillations of a collection of charged massive Dirac particles, in one, two and three dimensions and their one dimensional superlattice. We calculate the long wavelength limit of the dynamical polarization function analytically, and use the random phase approximation to obtain the plasmon dispersion. The density dependence of the long wavelength plasmon frequency in massive Dirac systems is found to be different compared to systems with parabolic, and gapless Dirac dispersion. We also calculate the long wavelength plasmon dispersion of a 1d metamaterial made from 1d and 2d massive Dirac plasma. Our analytical results will be useful for exploring the use of massive Dirac materials as electrostatically tunable plasmonic metamaterials and can be experimentally verified by infrared spectroscopy as in the case of graphene [L. Ju. et. al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 6, 630 (2011)].

description: A series of novel 2-oxo-2-(arylamino)ethyl 4-formylbenzoates were prepared via the reaction of the potassium salt of p-formylbenzoic acid with 2-chloro-N-aryl-acetamide in DMF at reflux. A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridin-3,5-dicarbonitriles, hexahydroacridine-1,8-diones, decahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines, and hexahydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolines which are linked to N-aryl-benzoyloxyacetamide were obtained through the Hantzsch reaction of various 2-oxo-2-(arylamino)ethyl 4-formylbenzoate with the respective 3-aminocrotononitrile or a mixture of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and amine source. The structures of the novel compounds were confirmed using a variety of spectra.

description: Dengue fever is one of the most prominent viral infectious diseases in tropical countries. The virus is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, infecting over 300 million people each year. To understand how this mosquito is such an efficient vector, this research uses genetic tools to reveal what happens when a mosquito is infected by the virus and how a bacterium called Wolbachia might interfere with virus infection. This thesis has discovered new aspects about mosquito biology that could lead to improved disease surveillance and understanding of dengue virus evolution.

description: Multicomponent condensation reaction of substituted aromatic aldehydes with 2-naphthol/2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione was catalyzed by nickel oxide supported on silica core-shell nanoparticles (SiO2@NiO) as Lewis acid catalyst in the ethanolic medium at 80 °C. The present catalytic protocol was used to synthesize diverse 14-Aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13-diones in good yields with a high turnover number within a short reaction time leading to good reusability with almost unchanged catalytic activity. The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity and found to exhibit promising antibacterial and antifungal activities.

title: Evaluation of different tools for design and fault-injection of asynchronous circuits

description: Asynchronous circuits (ACs) are currently aced out by synchronous circuits (SCs) in industry purposes. Nevertheless there were prominent innovations utilizing ACs in the field of brain-inspired hardware like SpiNNaker, Neurogrid and the TrueNorth. Researchers claim also a theoretical performance advantage of ACs in terms of speed and energy efficiency. However, one handicap when designing ACs is the current lack of tools designated especially to AC design. Often tools originally targeted to SC design are (mis)used. This thesis presents two flows designed especially to AC design. The first one is developed by the Embedded Computing Systems (ECS) group at TU Wien. It is focused on fault-injection experiments at gate level, but provides also Python scripts for high level AC generation. The second one is the Asynchronous Circuit Toolkit (ACT) developed by the asynchronous VLSI and architecture (asyncVLSI) group at YaleUniversity. It aims for a complete coverage of chip design from high level description to fabricable GDSII format. This thesis will extensively present both these flows, and then proceed with their integration into a combined flow. In particular a translation script of the production rule set (PRS) format in its concrete implementation at TU Wien to ACT has been developed. Additionally the fault-injection engine, which is part of the TU Wien flow, has been overhauled to now also support the Prsim simulation software, which is part of the Yale flow. Afterwards, as a proof of concept, for the integrated flow about a million fault-injections have been performed with Modelsim, which was previously without alternative for the TU Wien flow, and Prsim. While one should initially expect the two tools to deliver the same results, mismatches are spotted that could be tracked back to aspects where Modelsim and Prsim operate differently.

description: We present a lattice QCD calculation of the pseudoscalar decay constants fK, fD and fDs performed using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical quarks, which include in the sea, besides two light mass degenerate quarks, also the strange and charm quarks with masses close to their values in the real world. The simulations are based on a unitary setup for the two light mass-degenerate quarks and on a mixed action approach for the strange and charm quarks. We use data simulated at three different values of the lattice spacing in the range 0.06 - 0.09 fm and at pion masses in the range 210 - 450 MeV. Our main results are: fK+ / fpi+ = 1.184 (16), fK+ = 154.4 (2.0) MeV, which incorporate the leading strong isospin breaking correction due to the up- and down-quark mass difference, and fK = 155.0 (1.9) MeV, fD = 207.4 (3.8) MeV, fDs = 247.2 (4.1) MeV, fDs / fD = 1.192 (22) and (fDs / fD) / (fK / fpi) = 1.003 (14) obtained in the isospin symmetric limit of QCD. Combined with the experimental measurements of the leptonic decay rates of kaon, pion, D- and Ds-mesons our results lead to the following determination of the CKM matrix elements: |Vus| = 0.2269 (29), |Vcd| = 0.2221 (67) and |Vcs| = 1.014 (24). Using the latest value of |Vud| from superallowed nuclear beta decays the unitarity of the first row of the CKM matrix is fulfilled at the permille level.

description: The present study describes an efficient and convenient one-pot multicomponent, microwave-assisted synthesis of polysubstituted-1H-imidazoles in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The procedure uses inexpensive, nontoxic, and reusable Amberlite IR120(H) as a catalyst. The new method exhibits a broad tolerance for diverse structural moieties, thereby demonstrating the robustness and applicability of the synthetic method. Further synthesized polysubstituted-1H-imidazoles exhibited moderate to good activity against bacterial strains under study.

description: Utilizing a SU(2) gauge symmetry technique in the quasiclassical diffusive regime, we theoretically study finite-sized two-dimensional intrinsic spin-orbit coupled superconductor/normal-metal/superconductor (S/N/S) hybrid structures with a single spin-active interface. We consider intrinsic spin-orbit interactions (ISOIs) that are confined within the N wire and absent in the s-wave superconducting electrodes (S). Using experimentally feasible parameters, we demonstrate that the coupling of the ISOIs and spin moment of the spin-active interface results in maximum singlet-triplet conversion and accumulation of spin current density at the corners of the N wire nearest the spin-active interface. By solely modulating the superconducting phase difference, we show how the opposing parities of the charge and spin currents provide an effective venue to experimentally examine pure edge spin currents not accompanied by charge currents. These effects occur in the absence of externally imposed fields, and moreover are insensitive to the arbitrary orientations of the interface spin moment. The experimental implementation of these robust edge phenomena are also discussed.
