Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we give a description of continuous variable Gaussian Rényi-2 (GR2) quantum discord for a system consisting of two non-interacting non-resonant bosonic modes embedded in a thermal environment. In the case of both an entangled initial squeezed vacuum state and squeezed thermal state, GR2 quantum discord has non-negative values for all temperatures of the environment. We describe also the time evolution of GR2 classical correlations and GR2 quantum mutual information of the quantum system. All these quantities tend asymptotically to zero in the long time regime under the effect of the thermal bath.

description: We explore different estimators of the local non-linear coupling parameter, fNL, based on the binned bispectrum presented in Bucher et al. Using simulations of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)-7yr data, we compare the performance of a regression neural network with a χ^2-minimization and study the dependence of the results on the presence of the linear term in the analysis and on the use of inpainting for masked regions. Both methods obtain similar results and are robust to the use of inpainting, but the neural network estimator converges considerably faster. We also examine the performance of a simplified χ^2 estimator that assumes a diagonal matrix and has the linear term subtracted, which considerably reduces the computational time; in this case inpainting is found to be crucial. The estimators are also applied to real WMAP-7yr data, yielding constraints at 95% confidence level of -3< fNL <83.

description: The luminosity function of planetary nebulae populations in galaxies within 10-15 Mpc distance has a cut-off at bright magnitudes and a functional form that is observed to be invariant in different galaxy morphological types. Thus it is used as a secondary distance indicator in both early and late-type galaxies. Recent deep surveys of planetary nebulae populations in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) seem to indicate that their luminosity functions deviate from those observed in the nearby galaxies. We discuss the evidence for such deviations in Virgo, and indicate which physical mechanisms may alter the evolution of a planetary nebula envelope and its central star in the halo of BCGs. We then discuss preliminary results for distances for the Virgo, Hydra I and Coma clusters based on the observed planetary nebulae luminosity functions.

description: Gut dysbiosis has been strongly correlated with colorectal cancer (CRC) development and the use of probiotics to modulate this imbalance represents a potential and promising therapy to prevent and treat CRC. For this reason, the identification of novel probiotic strains from diverse origins has widely increased in recent years, including traditional fermented foods. In this work we describe a new strain previously isolated from pulque (a traditional Mexican beverage), Levilactobacillus brevis CNCM I-5321, which may represent an interesting probiotic candidate to prevent and treat cancer. Indeed, our results show that CNCM I-5321 displays significant and specific antiproliferative capacities in human intestinal cancer cell lines (HT-29, HTC-116 and Caco-2 cells), but not in normal cells (FH cells). In addition, CNCM I-5321 is able to induce: (1) a pro-inflammatory immune response through stimulation of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-17 cytokines and (2) apoptosis via activation of caspase 8. On the other hand, a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay revealed phenotypic resistance of this strain to ampicillin and chloramphenicol. However, no known transferable determinants were found in the genome of CNCM I-5321, thus this probiotic candidate presents no risk of horizontal transfer to the intestinal bacterial population. Finally, the safety status of CNCM I-5321 was evaluated using an innovative model of chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) to assess undesirable and/or toxic effects. Overall, our results support that CNCM I-5321 strain is non-pathogenic and safe for potential use as an anti-cancer candidate in human and animal medicine.

description: This paper attempts to question reductionist processes of data science that help sustain digital economies and proposes a new perspective for data practice through design. It follows recent discussions about the materiality of data in design and proposes a new notion of data materiality that unfolds its ethical and ecological aspects from a philosophical point of view. This is presented as an opportunity to envision how data can be enacted as data practice within a system. We provide an example that illustrates different kinds of data and data practices, and how ethical and ecological challenges can emerge in a system. We show how systemic challenges can be alleviated within this new notion of data, demonstrating why recovering data materiality is crucial for an ecological future. We finally argue that designers play a significant role in this context, producing practical examples that extend theoretical discussions on data materiality.

description: We have developed a two-beam waveguide-type dual-polarization sideband-separating SIS receiver system in the 100-GHz band for {\it z}-machine on the 45-m radio telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. The receiver is intended for astronomical use in searching for highly redshifted spectral lines from galaxies of unknown redshift. This receiver has two beams, which have 45$^{\prime\prime}$ of beam separation and allow for observation with the switch in the on-on position. The receiver of each beam is composed of an ortho-mode transducer and two sideband-separating SIS mixers, which are both based on a waveguide technique, and the receiver has four intermediate frequency bands of 4.0--8.0 GHz. Over the radio frequency range of 80--116 GHz, the single-sideband receiver noise temperature is lower than about 50 K, and the image rejection ratios are greater than 10 dB in most of the same frequency range. The new receiver system has been installed in the telescope, and we successfully observed a $^{12}$CO ({\it J}=3--2) emission line toward a cloverleaf quasar at {\it z} = 2.56, which validates the performance of the receiver system. The SSB noise temperature of the system, including the atmosphere, is typically 150--300 K at a radio frequency of 97 GHz. We have begun blind search of high-{\it J} CO toward high-{\it z} submillimeter galaxies.

description: The number of strong (equivalent width > 1A) MgII absorbers observed towards Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been found to be statistically larger than the number of strong absorbers towards quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). We formalize this "MgII problem" and present a detailed explanation of the statistical tools required to assess the significance of the discrepancy. We find the problem exists at the 4σ level for GRBs with high-resolution spectra. It has been suggested that the discrepancy can be resolved by the combination of a dust obscuration bias towards QSOs, and a strong gravitational lensing bias towards GRBs. We investigate one of the two most probable lensed GRBs that we presented in our previous work (GRB020405; Rapoport et al.) and find it not to be strongly gravitationally lensed, constraining the percentage of lensed GRBs to be < 35% (2σ). Dust obscuration of QSOs has been estimated to be a significant effect with dusty MgII systems removing ~20% of absorbed objects from flux-limited QSO samples. We find that if ~30% of the strong MgII systems towards QSOs are missing from the observed samples, then GRBs and QSOs would have comparable numbers of absorbers per unit redshift. Thus, gravitational lensing bias is likely to make only a modest contribution to solving the MgII problem. However, if the dust obscuration bias has been slightly underestimated, the MgII problem would no longer persist.

description: Magnesium atoms embedded in superfluid helium nanodroplets have been identified to arrange themselves in a metastable network, refered to as foam. In order to investigate the ionization dynamics of this unique structure with respect to a possible light-induced collapse the femtosecond dual-pulse spectroscopy technique is applied. Around zero optical delay a strong feature is obtained which represents a direct probe of the foam response. We found that upon collapse, ionization is reduced. A particlar intensity ratio of the pulses allows to address either direct ionization or photoactivation of the neutral complexes, thus affecting reaction pathways. A simplified excitation scheme visualizes possible scenarios in accordance with the experimental observations.

description: For the research of CCD neutron radiography, a neutron collimator was designed based on the exit of thermal neutron of the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) reactor. Based on the Geant4 simulations, the preliminary choice of the size of the collimator was determined. The materials were selected according to the literature data. Then, a collimator was constructed and tested on site. The results of experiment and simulation show that the thermal neutron flux at the end of theneutron collimator is greater than 10^6 n/cm^2/s, the maximum collimation ratio (L/D) is 58, the Cd-ratio(Mn) is 160 and the diameter of collimator end is 10 cm. This neutron collimator is considered to be applicable for neutron radiography.

description: We present a 3-5um LBT/MMT adaptive optics imaging study of three Upper Scorpius stars with brown dwarf (BD) companions with very low-masses/mass ratios (M_BD < 25M_Jup; M_BD / M_star ~ 1-2%), and wide separations (300-700 AU): GSC 06214, 1RXS 1609, and HIP 78530. We combine these new thermal IR data with existing 1-4um and 24um photometry to constrain the properties of the BDs and identify evidence for circumprimary/secondary disks in these unusual systems. We confirm that GSC 06214B is surrounded by a disk, further showing this disk produces a broadband IR excess due to small dust near the dust sublimation radius. An unresolved 24um excess in the system may be explained by the contribution from this disk. 1RXS 1609B exhibits no 3-4um excess, nor does its primary; however, the system as a whole has a modest 24um excess, which may come from warm dust around the primary and/or BD. Neither object in the HIP 78530 system exhibits near- to mid-IR excesses. We additionally find that the 1-4um colors of HIP 78530B match a spectral type of M3+-2, inconsistent with the M8 spectral type assigned based on its near-IR spectrum, indicating it may be a low-mass star rather than a BD. We present new upper limits on additional low-mass companions in the system (<5M_Jup beyond 175AU). Finally, we examine the utility of circumsecondary disks as probes of the formation histories of wide BD companions, finding that the presence of a disk may disfavor BD formation near the primary with subsequent outward scattering.

description: Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions largely remain a mystery. A rare subclass of SNe Ia show evidence of strong interaction with their circumstellar medium (CSM), and in particular, a hydrogen-rich CSM; we refer to them as SNe Ia-CSM. In the first systematic search for such systems, we have identified 16 SNe Ia-CSM, and here we present new spectra of 13 of them. Six SNe Ia-CSM have been well-studied previously, three were previously known but are analyzed in-depth for the first time here, and seven are new discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory. The spectra of all SNe Ia-CSM are dominated by Hα emission (with widths of ~2000 km/s) and exhibit large Hα/Hβ intensity ratios (perhaps due to collisional excitation of hydrogen via the SN ejecta overtaking slower-moving CSM shells); moreover, they have an almost complete lack of He I emission. They also show possible evidence of dust formation through a decrease in the red wing of Hα 75-100 d past maximum brightness, and nearly all SNe Ia-CSM exhibit strong Na I D absorption from the host galaxy. The absolute magnitudes (uncorrected for host-galaxy extinction) of SNe Ia-CSM are found to be -21.3 <= M_R <= -19 mag, and they also seem to show ultraviolet emission at early times and strong infrared emission at late times (but no detected radio or X-ray emission). Finally, the host galaxies of SNe Ia-CSM are all late-type spirals similar to the Milky Way, or dwarf irregulars like the Large Magellanic Cloud, which implies that these objects come from a relatively young stellar population. This work represents the most detailed analysis of the SN Ia-CSM class to date.

Ground-state phase diagram and magnetization process of the exactly solved mixed spin-(1,1/2) Ising diamond chain

description: The ground state and magnetization process of the mixed spin-(1,1/2) Ising diamond chain is exactly solved by employing the generalized decoration-iteration mapping transformation and the transfer-matrix method. The decoration-iteration transformation is first used in order to establish a rigorous mapping equivalence with the corresponding spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths chain in a non-zero magnetic field, which is subsequently exactly treated within the framework of the transfer-matrix technique. It is shown that the ground-state phase diagram includes just four different ground states and the low-temperature magnetization curve may exhibit an intermediate plateau precisely at one half of the saturation magnetization. Our rigorous results disprove recent Monte Carlo simulations of Zihua Xin et al. [Z. Xin, S. Chen, C. Zhang, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 324 (2012) 3704], which imply an existence of the other magnetization plateaus at 0.283 and 0.426 of the saturation magnetization.

Dust continuum and Polarization from Envelope to Cores in Star Formation: A Case Study in the W51 North region

description: We present the first high-angular resolution (up to 0.7", ~5000 AU) polarization and thermal dust continuum images toward the massive star-forming region W51 North. The observations were carried out with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) in both the subcompact (SMA-SubC) and extended (SMA-Ext) configurations at a wavelength of 870 micron. W51 North is resolved into four cores (SMA1 to SMA4) in the 870 micron continuum image. The associated dust polarization exhibits more complex structures than seen at lower angular resolution. We analyze the inferred morphologies of the plane-of-sky magnetic field (B_bot) in the SMA1 to SMA4 cores and in the envelope using the SMA-Ext and SMA-SubC data. These results are compared with the B_bot archive images obtained from the CSO and JCMT. A correlation between dust intensity gradient position angles (phi_{nabla I}) and magnetic field position angles (phi_B) is found in the CSO, JCMT and both SMA data sets. This correlation is further analyzed quantitatively. A systematically tighter correlation between phi_{nabla I} and phi_B is found in the cores, whereas the correlation decreases in outside-core regions. Magnetic field-to-gravity force ratio (Sigma_B) maps are derived using the newly developed polarization - intensity gradient method by Koch, Tang & Ho 2012. We find that the force ratios tend to be small (Sigma_B <= 0.5) in the cores in all 4 data sets. In regions outside of the cores, the ratios increase or the field is even dominating gravity (Sigma_B > 1). This possibly provides a physical explanation of the tightening correlation between phi_{nabla I} and phi_B in the cores: the more the B field lines are dragged and aligned by gravity, the tighter the correlation is. Finally, we propose a schematic scenario for the magnetic field in W51 North to interpret the four polarization observations at different physical scales.

Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the identifying code number (the size of a smallest identifying code), which indeed is not even a monotone parameter with respect to graph inclusion. We show that every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, maximum degree $Δ=ω(1)$ and minimum degree $δ\geq c\logΔ$, for some constant $c>0$, contains a large spanning subgraph which admits an identifying code with size $O\left(\frac{n\logΔ}δ\right)$. In particular, if $δ=Θ(n)$, then $G$ has a dense spanning subgraph with identifying code $O\left(\log n\right)$, namely, of asymptotically optimal size. The subgraph we build is created using a probabilistic approach, and we use an interplay of various random methods to analyze it. Moreover we show that the result is essentially best possible, both in terms of the number of deleted edges and the size of the identifying code.

Últimos trabajos y futuras líneas de investigación tiene el objetivo de divulgar las últimas investigaciones y trazar nuevas e innovadoras líneas de trabajo sobre los estudios arqueológicos desarrollados en Faro de Limanes. Se transferirá a la sociedad la idea de que la cerámica faruca está viva y sigue aportando grandes cantidades de información sobre nuestro pasado. El centro productor cerámico de Faro de Limanes es uno de los alfares más importantes del norte de la península ibérica debido a la gran difusión alcanzada por sus piezas y su producción ininterrumpida desde al menos el siglo XI hasta la actualidad. Por ello, su cerámica se nos muestra como un elemento clave para comprender la Edad Media y la modernidad asturiana. En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado un buen número de trabajos de investigación que han estudiado la cerámica de Faro de Limanes con diferente profundidad, enfoques y perspectivas. El ánimo de esta Jornada es reunir a todos los investigadores que han trabajado arqueológicamente sobre Faro de Limanes y su cerámica para que, de manera conjunta, informen y debatan sobre sus avances. Se presentarán resultados de proyectos pasados y presentes, nuevas líneas de trabajo, y se expondrán diferentes técnicas de estudio. Faro de Limanes y su cerámica tiene un pasado apasionante, pero también un presente de estudios novedosos y, sin duda, un futuro con un enorme potencial. El Museo Arqueológico de Asturias, al ser el custodio de nuestro objeto de estudio, resulta el enclave ideal para el desarrollo de la Jornada.

description: Within this decade gravitational wave detection will open a new observational window on the Universe. Advanced ground based interferometers covering the kHz frequency range will be online by 2016, and it is foreseeable the announcement of a first detection within five years. At the same time, a worldwide effort of detecting low frequency waves (in the nHz regime) by timing ultra-precise millisecond pulsars is rapidly growing, possibly leading to a positive detection within this decade. The mHz regime, bridging these two windows, is the realm of space based interferometers, which might be launched in the late 20s. I provide here a short overview of the scientific payouts of gravitational wave astronomy, focusing the discussion on the low frequency regime (pulsar timing and space based interferometry). A detailed discussion of advanced ground based interferometer can be found in Patrick Brady's contribution to this proceedings series.

description: This document is an update on the risk analysis and contingency plan created at the beginning of the project, in 2019.
 Since the last publication of the plan, new threats have been identified and old ones have been solved. In addition, two major events have occurred, which have strongly impacted the ExPaNDS project and its activities: COVID-19 and Brexit. This brief report is intended to explain the analysis of the situation as well as the actions taken and/or planned to avoid or mitigate any negative consequences the newly individualized threats might have on the project.
THOMAS BERNHARDS UNVER�FFENTLICHTES ROMANPROJEKT 'SCHWARZACH ST. VEIT'. DAS KONVOLUT, DIE FASSUNGEN UND IHRE DEUTUNG
Creators: name: APOSTOLO, STEFANO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: The unfinished novel Schwarzach St. Veit represents a turning point in the early career of Thomas Bernhard at the end of the 1950s, a period in which the young author (by then only known as a lyric poet) was experimenting with several literary genres (poetry, drama, prose). However, Bernhard?s first attempt in the novelistic genre is not a single text. It consists of a series prose texts in several preliminary and revised stages, among which four main versions stand out (Jakob Zischek, Hufnagl, Schwarzach St. Veit and Der Wald auf der Stra�e). All four are finished versions, which ? Jakob Zischek excepted ? Bernhard offered to different publishers between 1960 and 1961, but all were rejected. Only in 1989, In der H�he. Rettungsversuch, Unsinn ? a revised version of Der Wald auf der Stra�e ? was eventually published, thus becoming the fifth main text and in a way the final version of the whole Schwarzach-project. The present dissertation contains, in as much detail as possible, a description of the unpublished novel-project, regarding both philological aspects and thematic content. The manuscripts are precisely catalogued and analysed in order to better understand the structure of the archival materials and the relation between several drafts and final versions. This allows for a more thorough appreciation of Bernhard?s working method at a time when he was still developing his personal style, often rewriting passages several times, excising passages and starting over. The individual analyses of the main versions bring to light similarities and interferences with other works of the same period, as well as typical motifs, that would characterise Bernhard?s later output.

description: Im Laufe der letzten Jahre hat die Bezirksarchäologie Hannover die in ihrem Zuständigkeitsbereich gelegenen latènezeitlichen Befestigungsanlagen systematisch prospektiert, da diese zunehmend von Raubgräbern heimgesucht werden. In einem Fall konnten sogar mehrere hundert Objekte im Zuge einer polizeilichen Haus durchsuchung sichergestellt werden. Parallel zu den Befestigungsanlagen haben sich hier an drei Plätzen in offener Höhenlage latènezeitliche Fundhorizonte ergeben, die im Prinzip denen aus den Befestigungs anlagen entsprechen. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird nun die Frage diskutiert, ob diese als Niederschlag unbefestigter Höhensiedlungen zu interpretieren sind oder ob sich möglicherweise nicht eine gänzlich andere Ursache dahinter verbirgt.
description: During recent years the regional archaeology of Hanover has carried out systematic surveying of La Tène period defended sites within its jurisdiction which were under increasing threat from find-robbers. In one case even several hundred objects were able to be recovered in a house search by the police. In addition to these defensive constructions three sites in open upland situations have yielded La Tène period find horizons basically corresponding to those from the defended sites. In the present paper the question is discussed as to whether these are to be interpreted as undefended upland settlements or whether perhaps a completely different reason lies behind them.
title: Development of optical-based nanobiosensors for body fluid identification

description: The detection and identification of body fluids within the context of a crime scene investigation is essential for providing information relating to potential activities which may have taken place within that scene. A crime scene investigator or a forensic scientist needs to recognise and then collect relevant biological evidence at a scene or later in the laboratory. However, most current methods used in the field and within laboratories are presumptive indicative tests which may suffer from low sensitivity, poor selectivity and more importantly, may be destructive for subsequent DNA profiling.

The advent of nanotechnology has led to the development of new analytical sensor devices that have found applications in the defence and security sector, medicine, food and in the environmental industry. The fabrication of biosensors with nanomaterials has been extensively used in the development of colorimetric and fluorescence-based detection systems. To overcome the problems associated with existing test methods for body fluid identification, this PhD project sought to develop novel optical-based affinity nanobiosensors for body fluids using nanomaterials and biological recognition receptor elements.

This PhD has developed three optical-based nanobiosensors for blood and saliva identification. First was developed a colorimetric aptamer-based magnetic magnetite nanocube-gold nanorod (MNC-AuNR) hybrid nanobiosensor for Hb detection in blood. This nanobiosensor used the catalytic activity of MNC and the high specificity of the anti-Hb aptamer to detect Hb through a colour change reaction. Then a fluorescence aptamer-based ZnSSe alloyed quantum dot-gold nanoparticle (QD-AuNPs) nanobiosensor was fabricated for lysozyme detection in saliva using the plasmonic metal-enhanced fluorescence of the nanohybrid. Lastly, a fluorescence-based molecular imprinted polymer-coated SiO2-shell Au-doped ZnInSeS QDs (QD@MIP) nanobiosensor was developed to detect haemoglobin in the blood through a fluorescence enhancement signal. Quantitative and selectivity studies showed that the three novel nanobiosensors were highly efficient towards haemoglobin and lysozyme detection. The nanoprobes showed that they can be employed for real saliva and blood identification with higher selectivity and sensitivity than current presumptive tests used by forensic practitioners.

title: Sicilian and south Italian finds in Greek sanctuaries. A contribution on votive rites in Greece in the Late Geometric and Archaic Periods
Creators: name: Baitinger, Holger
Publisher: name: University Library Heidelberg

description: Fremde Votivgaben prägten in starkem Maße das Erscheinungsbild bedeutender griechischer Heiligtümer. Sie bezeugen weitreichende Kontakte und die Interaktion der Griechen mit fremden Regionen und Völkerschaften der mediterranen Welt, obgleich die Frage nach den Stiftern und deren Motivation nach wie vor viele Fragen aufwirft. Eine besonders umfangreiche Gruppe unter den Fremdstücken stellen vorwiegend metallene Weihgaben aus Unteritalien und Sizilien dar, also aus Regionen, die ab der zweiten Hälfte des 8. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. stark von der griechischen Kolonisationsbewegung geprägt wurden. Ihre möglichst präzise geographische und zeitliche Einordnung bildet die Voraussetzung, um Funktion und Bedeutung der Weihgaben für Stifter und Empfänger zu analysieren. Dabei zeigt es sich, dass ein großer Teil der Votive aus dem 8. und 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. stammt, während jüngeres Material trotz weiterhin intensiver Kontakte mit dem Westen kaum noch eine Rolle spielt. Übereinstimmungen in Formenspektrum und Erhaltungszustand der Objekte mit sizilischen Brucherzhorten lassen es denkbar erscheinen, dass zumindest ein Teil der mStücke in fragmentarischem Zustand nach Griechenland gelangte und dort aufgrund seines Materialwertes in Heiligtümern gestiftet wurde. Solche Brucherzdeponierungen lassen sich auch in sizilischen Heiligtümern wie Bitalemi bei Gela beobachten.
description: To a considerable extent foreign votive offerings characterised the appearance of important Greek sanctuaries. They bear witness to extensive contacts and the interaction of the Greeks with foreign regions and peoples of the Mediterranean world, although the question of the donors and their motivations still give rise to speculation. A particularly large group within the foreign pieces comprises mainly metal dedicatory goods from southern Italy and Sicily, i. e. from regions which from the second half of the 8th century BC were strongly influenced by the Greek colonisation movement. Their precise geographical and chronological classification forms the prerequisite for analysing the function and meaning of the offerings for the donors´ and recipients. It can be shown that a large part of the votives dates to the 8th and 7th centuries BC, whereas later material hardly plays a role, despite the continuing intensive contacts with the West. Conformities in the spectrum of types and the state of preservation of the objects compared with Sicilian hoards of broken metal allow one to deduce that at least a part of the pieces arrived in Greece in a fragmentary state and was donated in the sanctuaries there because of its material value. Such depots of broken metal can also be seen in Sicilian sanctuaries, such as Bitalemi near Gela.
